v0.8.5
* Optimisations to a number of themes.
* Complete re-write of the RR generator:
    - Corridors are no longer as long allowing for more complicated areas.
    - Start and finish no longer have to be next to each other.
    - Added ability to force the start to the top left (mostly for huge maps where finding it can be tricky).
    - Added tick box for water, when set, there is no floor. When not set the floor is thicker so it can be seen.

Speaking of which, I tried some of these maps out! (8000x8000 pixels, 522 path size)

Let me know, what you think ;)

EDIT1: I just noticed, when I'm generating a Big RR map (8000x8000, Water, No Top Soil, Start Top Left) i takes about 3-6 seconds, right? But when I'm saving a map, it freezes for about 10 seconds, then I get the map exported. Weird right?

Also, a suggestion, make Start at Top Right, Bottom Left and Bottom Right choices for Rope Race.

For some weird reason on Rope Race it didn't generate a Finish line. Interesting.

Hey! Good to see someone trying it out! :)

It's not that weird, 8k maps are pretty big files, and how long it takes to save will depend on your harddrive. For what it's worth, the actual generation only takes about a 10th of a second or less, the rest is entirely rendering it to the png in RAM.
As for it freezing, that is because it just saves on the main thread (it used to freeze during generation too but I fixed that). Async saving may be a good idea, but might be more effort that it is worth.

Fair enough, will add it to the list.

Hmmm, that is odd, I guess it is something to do with it ending next to the start...

Had a quick look this evening and found a fix for the missing RR finish, will be in the next build when ever that is.

Hmm... interesting... I get a system error... it claims that I don't have "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll"... my OS is Windows 7

EDIT1: Attempting to reinstall now, MapGEN version 0.8.5.0
EDIT2: It's not effective

Do you have the latest windows updates installed? If so you could try downloading the visual studio 2015 redistributable from the Microsoft site

Wait, what? It freezes at processing Windows7_MSU_x64
EDIT1: I am attempting to install x64, should I try installing x86?
EDIT2: Attempting installation of x86, same situation

I'm giving up on this, It's possibly that there's some problem on my hardware.

So when installing the redistributable (Visual c++ 2015) I am stuck on Windows7_MSU_x64. Any suggestions?

I dont know what you mean. You just download it and install it. You can install both but mapgen needs the 32 bit one.
