amaster troubles

Archived from groups: alt.games.vga-planets (More info?)

When running `amaster -k some.pgm` the pgm does not have the desired
effect. My 2000x2000 pgm does not seem to trigger anything and a small
version of the image at 500x500 definitely gives a different distribution
than the desired one (significantly higher density in the southern half of
the map).

I'm probably missing something stupid; otoh, the amaster.src contains
FixMapChecksums = No
but I still get a warning
Warning: Using map mask file and fixing map checksums is not recomended.
The -u option helps, but it should not be necessary?

amaster v3.10f

I can't seem to find the homepage of amaster either, only the download
from vagabund.

Any help appreciated,
including other apps that generate maps from (grayscale) images.

Kero.

I forwarded your problem/Request to Piotr.
Please send details to the vagabund email address.

I know he is currently working on a bigger update of AMaster and he can
add the patch directly.

Thanks!

You've already found the webpage
"http://www.geocities.com/the_vagabund/tools/#amaster". ;-)

Please send your patch to the e-mail address that can be found at
the end of "http://www.geocities.com/the_vagabund/".

Thanks!
I will send details to vagabund.

Somehow, I had not guessed that would be an appropriate place. There are
more sites with lots of tools by multiple authors...
