That script is a fantastic idea Rob. Any plans on making it available to the circling birds of prey?

The internet! It\'ll never catch on.
Software Used: Terranoise, Wilbur, Terragen, The Gimp, Inkscape, Mojoworld
If I'm not mistaken, I think once this months contest is done he will make the script available to the masses.Originally Posted by Torq

Another teaser is a second script I wrote to batch process. Just point the thing to a folder of templates and it will turn them all into maps having the same settings.
(I also got rid of the shadow in the doors).

I'll completly agree, thats a nice script for sure. Would save me a ton of work
Aaahhh, RobA. You and your teasers...
OK -
Here is the GIMP script. This includes both the dungeon map maker (under filters) and the batch processor for applying the same filter on a bunch of files in a directory (under Xtns in the main Gimp window)
Enjoy!
EDIT: There is an update to the script in this post that fixes one little bug, and allows for downloading a random cave map of the internet as a base map!

Inspired by Tim's maps, I banged out a quick example of the script:
I used a solid white fill for the BG, java (coffee beans) for the walls, and set the distortion to 50%, grid at 24 px.
Here was the input (traced quickly over tim's map with rounded rectangles and circles):
And the result of the script after adjusting the shadow layer curve and drawing a few doors in with a door brush I made up:

Hey, you just put me out of work! Replaced by an script. What's this world coming to! LOL!
Nice work, Rob. I might have to start using GIMP to take advantage of your expertise.
Cheers,

Certainly not my intent! Consider it more of an homageHey, you just put me out of work! Replaced by an script. What's this world coming to! LOL!And personally, I'd rather build a tool to help me do what I need over doing it repeatedly... might be why I'm an engineer and not an artist
I just wanted to demonstrate that the script could also create a more old school style map - no just a semi-realistic one.

Oh ty ty RobA. This will help me for sure doing my dungeon maps. Will give it a shot as soon as I got some spare time and will post my result.
Thanks again RobA.
