Village Generator

Such an amazing tool. Thank you!

A fantastic addition would be to get a scale on the map similar to the city generator!

LOVING this!  
Quick feature request: A color picker in the style menu would be amazing.  Until then, I can certainly use another picker and copy the hex over, just a little QOL idea.  

Either way, thanks so much for this!

IS there a way to save WIP villages live here, or is there a downloadable version? (Very cool btw)

Thanks a lot for this! It saves me so much time to be able to use this to make towns.

A small request: could you please make it so that we can have a coast and river on the same map?

Here's hoping you eventually get it worked up to the point of allowing large towns or even cities to be made with this. Best of luck.

Didn't come here for a while. Glad you are still alive. You are an artist i truly admire. Do you know some other places where good canvas projects can be found ? I mean i already know CodePen but even there, finding projects as good as yours is really hard...

Peace

Why did you remove the large map option? Could you put it back?

It would be great if you could generate x input of maps under the conditions set, and export in a zip. Would love a few hundred of these as my desktop, beautiful little villages transitioning. Great little app!

Love this so much! 

I think after the update though, S no longer toggles visual style, but rather relief visualization. This goes for both E and S keys. Is this just me?

Small ask, but might there be a way to 2x the contextual menu? Text is tiny...

I don't have anything particular to use this for, but I greatly enjoy playing with it!

downloaded version?

How do I get that wonderful nighttime effect in the Kilwater example? Can't seem to get it to show up with S.

Loving the palettes, trees and the island generator.  And the lights! POIs will be wonderful when they arrive too. Torn between this and perilous shores for my favourite... Thanks so much for these, they are such great places for my imagination to play.

Very nice updates recently. Could you add a few larger buildings perhaps? Or maybe add generation settings to include "landmarks"?

My main request is to get a SVG download of the Village generator, pretty please. Love your work more and more

export to svg?

Huge fan of the generator! Love the idea of adding trees and the like (although I understand your resistance); would it be possible to add fields/farms the way the city generator does (with some association to population if possible)?

Your JSON isn't proper GeoJSON. Here's a PHP script to translate to GeoJSON:

<?php

/*
    when importing into QGIS, you want to simplify the linestring with a tolerance of about 0,00001 degrees
*/

if ($argc < 4 ) {
    exit( "Usage: place_village lat lon scale - with scale in s, m, l\n" );
}

$fp = fopen("php://stdin", "r") or die("cannot open stdin");
$lat = floatval($argv[1]);
$lon = floatval($argv[2]);

    // conversion:
    //   latitude = distance * 360 / (2*PI * 6400000)
    //   longitude = distance *360 * / (2*PI* cos(latitude) )
    switch ($argv[3]) {
        case 's':
        case 'm':
            $scale_lon = 0.5 * 360 / (2 * M_PI * 6400000); // for projection correction: ... 6400000 * cos($lat));
            $scale_lat = 0.5 * 360 / (2 * M_PI * 6400000);
            break;
        case 'l':
        default:
            exit("scale must be one of s, m, l - instead of '".$argv[3]."'\n");
    }

$input_data = file_get_contents("php://stdin");
$json = json_decode($input_data);

foreach ($json->features as &$feature) {
    if (isset($feature->coordinates)) foreach ($feature->coordinates as &$coordinate) {
        move_this($coordinate);
    }
    if (isset($feature->geometries)) foreach ($feature->geometries as &$geom) {
        if (isset($geom->coordinates)) foreach ($geom->coordinates as &$coordinate) {
            move_this($coordinate);
        }
    }
}

function move_this(&$coordinate) {
    if (is_array($coordinate[0])) {
        foreach ($coordinate as &$c) {
            move_this($c);
        }
    } else {
        global $lat, $lon, $scale_lat, $scale_lon;
        $coordinate[0] = floatval($coordinate[0]) * $scale_lon + $lon;
//        $coordinate[1] = -1 * floatval($coordinate[1]) + $y; // old pre-json-export files needed Y flipped
        $coordinate[1] = floatval($coordinate[1]) * $scale_lat + $lat;
    }
}

// now convert to GeoJSON
$new_features = array();
foreach ($json->features as &$feature) {

    if (isset($feature->coordinates) && $feature->id != "earth") {
        // buildings
        $coords = close_rings($feature->coordinates);
        $new_features[] = array("type"=>"Feature", "properties"=>array("id"=>$feature->id), "geometry"=>array("type"=>$feature->type, "coordinates"=>$coords));
    }

    if (isset($feature->geometries)) {
        // roads
        $coords = [];
        foreach ($feature->geometries as $geom) {
            $coords[] = $geom->coordinates;
        }
        // "type" is the GQIS road type string - here "local" for local roads
        $new_features[] = array("type"=>"Feature", "properties"=>array("id"=>$feature->id, "type"=>"local"), "geometry"=>array("type"=>"MultiLineString", "coordinates"=>$coords));
    }
}
$new_json = array("type"=>"FeatureCollection", "features"=>$new_features);

function close_rings($coordinates) {
    if (is_array($coordinates[0][0])) {
        $all = [];
        foreach ($coordinates as $c) {
            $all[] = close_rings($c);
        }
        return $all;
    } else {
        $coordinates[] = $coordinates[0];
    }
    return $coordinates;
}

echo json_encode($new_json, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

?>

Also: Possible to get a PNG export with transparent background (without the ground) ?
