Is there a "generate random map" option?
This tool looks really cool and promising, but I often don't have much time to "paint" bit maps. Does this editor have a tool to generate random maps? / fill the map with random elements? :)

Hi!

I'm glad you like my little mapmaking tool. :)

In my tool you actually don't paint at all. It uses automatically generated elements on paths, plots and in rooms.

For example, you simply place an area for a forest or a field or draw a road with points or directly a wall with towers. You can also generate small houses on the sides of a road, for example. Or you can draw an area for a bedroom. This is then randomly filled with beds, a fireplace and boxes and carpets and so on.

Of course you can also place objects individually. Objects are grouped together. You can simply place the group and an object from the group will be selected at random. You can also activate randomize scale and rotation. For example, if you place a tree, any tree from the group is automatically placed and randomly scaled and rotated.
(It is also possible to select exactly one specific object).

Many objects are also automatically varied. E.g. the load of carts, the number and orientation of the sails of a ship or small extensions and the chimney position of houses.

Everything is combined on one map. But, there is no way to generate a complete map out of nothing.

Feel free to try the demo. :)

Best regards
Hannes

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply! I didn't notice the demo at all, thanks for the suggestion :D

I tried the demo for about 5mins and bought it right away ;) Even in this early stage, this is by far the best rpg map editor I've seen so far! Especially because of:

- unlimited map size & unlimited zoom out
- flexible export tool
- Steam Workshop integration
- multi platform

keep up the great work! :)
