MapGEN v0.9.1.1

[Plutonic]

v0.6.2 is now uploaded, completely reworks the Island and Cavern generators, as well as the interpolation method, grass generation and object placement code.

This update requied changing the themes so make sure you copy them from the archive, not just the EXE.

Let me know if anything doesn't work, or if you have any more ideas for features / schemes etc.

".....\Worms Armageddon v3.7.2.1\wkMapGEN\MapGen.exe is not a valid Win32 application"

Am I doing something wrong?

[Plutonic]

Hmmm, that's not good,  did the last version work for you? What version of windows are you using?

[MarianRV]

v.0.6.1 didn't work either

Using Windows XP

[Plutonic]

Ah... ok, I will take a look.

By default, versions of Visual C++ from 2012 and later don't support XP when building by default. In VS2013, you can enable XP compatibility by switching to the v120_xp toolset in the project's settings. Also make sure that the Minimum Required Vetsion is set to 5.01.

I have updated the main package with an EXE built with v110_xp, and added an EXE only package here:

Let me know if it still doesnt work!

"This application failed to start because MSVCP110.dll was not found"

MapGEN hates me indeed

[Plutonic]

Ah, ok, thats easy enough to fix, its included in the full rar now.

Thanks for all the help

Maybe something is wrong with my PC tho as it still doesn't want to open it :/

[Plutonic]

The wormkit module may need some work to get working, but does the exe itself not work? Any error messages?

[StepS]

You gave him MSVCR110.dll, and he asked for MSVCP110.dll.
If you don't want to require others to install the VC2012 redistributables, change the runtime library type to non-DLL ("multithreaded" instead of "multithreaded dll"). Then the necessary parts of the runtime will be linked statically with your executable/dll, and no other dependencies will be required.

[MarianRV]

Will give it some tries tomorrow.Thanks both of you for all the help

[Plutonic]

It might be worth getting the VS2012 redistributable, as many programs may need it:

I would rather not statically link if I can avoid it (it makes it 1Mb rather that 200Kb), though if the redist doesn't work I can do so. Let me know!

Hey Plutonic, nice to see you are still a part of Worms

About this program I read you may be making it acceptable for making BnG maps in future, have you thought more about that? I love BnG but recently I honestly I am fed up making BnG maps, I actually keep recycling old maps i've used in the past by making tiny edits and reseeding cuz it's boring to draw from scratch.

Any possibility to make this work? And if it did what parameters could I expect? For example would it be able to recreate maps with a balanced number of hides on each side and even if both sides are equal in number would they be equal in depth/difficulty(this means angle of grenade going in and out, deepness, width, is it bankable etc)?

I am not a programmer but if there is another way to help like providing details/advice on good BnG maps let me know.

And I don't only use -forest btw, they are just the best for competitive matches, would be nice to see what maps you could do with fruit, tentacle, tribal etc.

Offtopic - Do you still have any information on the WWP League you used to run? I can't even remember the name of it now...
