[eWIP] River Map Fixer

from Elemental Forums

So I decided this weekend after trying to create a map and being highly unsuccessful at creating rivers, to create a program that will create my rivers for me. I have it able to read a map and fix the river data (if it should be a river and looks like a river it will be a river), clean non-rivers (if it looks like land and it should be land it will be land), and clean up river ID (has not functional purpose, but gives me my OCD fix).

I'm not going to post up the program, but if you have a map that you have made (please no pre-designed Stardock maps), I'll see if I can fix it up for you and post up the results here.

It does not fix stamps (only fully generated maps). I recommend that you fix the fully generated map then generate your stamp afterwards.

Some of the pictures from the TreeOfLife map. The red marks the tile that is a river, but is not in the river data. The other letter indicate some of the terrain types. Notice in the lower left you see a lot of 'l' (plains, fertile lands, rough plains), but are really marked as a river. In the map, you will see the river, but it wouldn't act like a river.

I made a choice on the river in the read and added some of the red rivers to be part of the new rivers.
