[QUOTE="InkwellIdeas, post: 4839098, member: 26988"] Sample portion of a map created using Hexographer: [IMG]http://inkwellideas.com/hexmap/ansalon-crop.png[/IMG] Several new features and bug fixes have been added to the core Hexographer software:[LIST] [*]The random terrain generator has been significantly reworked so the resulting terrain is less random. [*]The random terrain generator process is explained by clicking "Help" once you've opened the custom random terrain settigns screen by clicking the "Custom Terrain" button on the start screen of the applet. [*]A number of small usability fixes have been made, such as some customization screens getting close, apply, and save buttons. [/LIST] And the "Pro" version can now be ordered. For just $5 for a 1-year license of $25 for a lifetime license, the pro version allows you to: [LIST] [*]Run off-line: The pro version is downloaded to your computer so you don't need to be connected to the internet. [*]Customize terrain and feature icons: Use any .png image for the terrain and feature icons. (Go to the map edit window's "Options" menu and choose "Customize Hexes.") Both the pro and non-pro versions allow you to change the background color of each terrain type, the sizes of terrain or feature icons, or whether to display icons or not. [*]Expand an existing map: Add (or subtract) a number of hex rows or columns above, below, to the right or to the left of an existing map. (Go to the map edit window's "Options" menu and choose "Expand/Shrink Number of Hexes.") [*]Add detailed notes to a hex: Any hex can now be described in detail with a freeform text field. Adding a note to a hex adds a small rectangular marker to the map. Clicking it will pop open the note for further editing or just to read it. (The note markers can be turned off using the map edit window's "Show/Hide" menu and selecting/deselecting the "Notes on Map" menu item.) [/LIST] Pro version maps can be read and edited by the free version of Hexographer, but the extra features are not available for further editing. (However, custom icons added using the pro version will be displayed by the free version.)
