Hey Watabou, was messing with the generator on github and got a map that looked like it was some sort of hex puzzle piece. The map sides/edges were hexed like they could be fit together with another piece, a la a puzzle.

This just randomly came up while clicking the generate button for a small (800x800) map, but I've looked though the popup window with all the settings and cannot find one that makes this show up all the time.

I love the generator and would like to use that edge feature to make some random map titles to be fitted togehter as desired. So the question, is this something that is selectable for all map sizes, or totally random. If random, could this be added as a feature, if it is already a feature, how do I set it to on?

Cheers,

Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about. I mean, there is no such feature, but I am not sure if I understand you correctly. Could you send me a screenshot if encounter this effect again?

Hey there,

It was sort of like this, but all sides were like the right side in the pic.

Now that I'm thinking of it more, it wouldn't be able to "fit" together like a puzzle. Though making a "matte" overlay that resembled a generic puzzle piece might work.

Anyway, thanks for reply, guess it was some weird anomaly or the universe playing with me.


Cheers,

OK, this means I imagined it correctly :) I still don't understand how could it happen, so I would really appreciate a screenshot if something like this happens again. Since the generator works with hexes, such borders are not hard to implement, but it wouldn't make maps automatically "stitchable", because there wouldn't be continuity of terrain.

Right on, if it happens again, I'll grab a shot of it.

Cheers,
