Tips - Azgaar/Fantasy-Map-Generator GitHub Wiki

This page is aimed to collect useful tips that can be shown to users just like "Did you know?" popups in old-fashioned desktop applications. I don't like this style, so suggestions are welcomed.

Custom map size

Map is trying to fill the whole screen. If you want to change the map size, open the Generator in a separate window, change the window size to desired and re-generate the map. Or just set a desired resolution in "Options".

Performance tips

The tips below can help if you are facing problems with performance on zooming and dragging:

  • Toggle off all currently unused layers (especially Relief Icons)

  • Open the map in a small (about 960x540) window. The map will be the same, but it will work much faster as rendering area is smaller

  • Close all unused tabs and applications (the performance depends on RAM and CPU)

  • Do not generate too big maps (use the Points number = 10K)

Working offline

Yo do not need Internet connection to use the tool. You can download it and then open it in your browser using local web-server. For the details see https://github.com/Azgaar/Fantasy-Map-Generator/wiki/Working-offline
