This project is a consolidation into a single project of map generators by watabou that he published on watabou.github.io. Not all of them are publicly available, and even what is available is written in a not-so-popular language.
I took the web version with the JS implementation and made many changes to it.
The work is not finished yet; you could say that the work of restructuring the JS code into a more maintainable format hasn’t even started. But it’s already usable now: all the old functionality is preserved, and importing from files works as well.
- These generators are now fully local. That is, they work without the internet: all connections are internal, and the downloadable files are included with the project.
- Maximum automation has been implemented. You can conveniently assemble it for your use case by interacting only with constructors and JSON parameters.
- I wrote an
openapi.jsonfor the generators and made it available directly through RapiDoc. - I changed the marshalling approach to make it proto-first. For now, partially (schema export), but in the future I might take it to its logical conclusion and palettes will be implemented as well.
- I added import/export to a binary file: pure protobuf. Backward compatibility is preserved.
- I tried to standardize the context menu so that items in different generators are in the same places and have the same names. I also added functionality for those generators that didn’t have it (
Permalink...,Fullscreen). - I added the ability to open towns and villages directly in the 3D viewer (
View in 3D). - I made the dialogs more user-friendly (for example, City Viewer now clearly states what the problem is during import).
- I added prefixes for exported files (
*.palette.mf.json,*.mf.json) so you can understand what relates to what without looking inside. - I published it as a standalone web resource, including a PWA, which makes it possible to install it as an application that doesn’t require the internet.
- Move palette import/export to proto.
- Add export for the Cave/Glade Generator.
- Add the ability to import schemas from a file for all generators except City Viewer (since City Viewer already has import).
- Add a 3D visualizer for buildings (separate or simply expand City Viewer’s functionality).
- Add an extended export mode that transfers names, labels, and other fields.
- Add generation of Cave/Glade pointers in the Medieval-Fantasy-City/Village Generator.
- After extended export, it will be possible to link the Cave/Glade/Dwellings Generator and the Medieval-Fantasy-City/Village Generator.
- Make it separately buildable, or extend the current one, with a list of saved maps and palettes directly in the app.
