Title: laygen
Post by: rainrider on April 30, 2008, 08:48:50 am: Whenever I want to create a map, I can't think of any good layout. Even playing with MSPaint doesn't help. So I decided to create an app which would generate layouts for me. And here it is... layout generator.

To convert map to polygons use some raster to vector converter and then use SAVA.

Good point. I've always wondered how many CTF maps were generated via Rorschach Tests (inkblots).

Post by: ElSpec774 on August 30, 2008, 02:02:22 pm: Yeah, it sounds good but it's almost useless if you ask me.

On average, I have to generate it about 20 times until I see something even decent.Â Seems best for mappers with no form of imagination.

Post by: chutem on September 23, 2008, 01:39:51 am: It is good in theory, but execution is horrible.

I have never gotten any even remotely good layouts with 100+ tries, adjusting settings as i went.

Post by: iDante on September 23, 2008, 07:58:08 pm: lol... don't actually use this for coming up with exact layouts... Just use it for finding a single route or something that looks catchy, then use the drawing tools to tweak it around a bit until you find something you like.

I really like this tool, as well as all of Rainriders programs (nice work on them all)
