Random scenario generator

[tombom]

I'm working on this, and I'm actually getting quite close to finishing. However, the scenario countries would be random random, not clustered together. Would anybody actually be interested in this?

So far I've got something which will randomise and output province ownership and tags used but it doesn't output the county titles correctly ie. With 0s in front if needed. (working on it) or randomise characters. If anybody ok in perl will help me that would be very helpful

I'm interested in all kinds of randomizers. Especially character randomizer, as I presume random scen generator will include that. Is getting the countries cluster impossible though?

It's not impossible, just hard. I also don't have the time to implement that. I'm currently struggling with padding out the prov id with 0s if needed, and once that's done I'll release a first beta, and then I'll work on character randomisation.

Beta 1 is almost done, but I'm having trouble finding why the generated scenario CTDs as soon as it loads. I've uploaded the scenario in the uploads forum.

EDIT: Actually, I've found the problem. A country with no provinces is created and that was what was causing the ctd. I thought I'd nailed that one...

Beta 1 release

OK, this is the first release. It randomises:
1. Tags
2. Province ownership
It doesn't randomise anything else.

It requires Perl to run. (here). The actual script is uploaded in the uploads forum (link. It includes a scenario built using this.

Be warned that you ahve to manually remove a redundant tag from the save file. It will be the last tag defined in the header section. Remove everything that contains it. I can't seem to work out how to stop this. Maybe somebody more experienced can help?

Beta 2

Now includes some limited character randomisation. Also the redundant tag problem is fixed.

Please tell me if you use this, if you don't there is no point in maintaining it.

Scenario randomising? Might be fun to have after one has played all the other scenario's to death (ways off yet), but not right now, at least not for yours truly. Random characters on the other hand could be a fun variation...at least for the scenario's that are less detailed.

Beta 3. Now randomises everything except names. Simply run the exe file in the zip after extracting and take the scenario generated and put it in your CK scenarios folder.

I tried it but the does not seem to generate anything.. what have I done wrong? :wacko:

Try creating a folder called "scenario" in the folder in which you unzipped it.

Cool tombom keep it like that

I'm currently working on a new version which is a total rewrite, whch will hopefully turn out better. Currently the only thing it does better is that provs are assigned to tags in order so that hopefully countries are linked together.
