Error message says "unable to read word dictionary file" after pressing Generate.

If I turn off text it says "no awt in java.library.path"

This probably means you're trying to run the map generator without first unzipping the zip file. If you did unzip it, try redownloading it and unzipping it again.

It might be an encoding issue.
It is set in the source to use Charset.defaultCharset() as the default character set, probably assuming it is going to be UTF-8. And for me it was in fact, this test code's output is: The default charset of the machine is :UTF-8

The test code:

import java.nio.charset.Charset;
public class test {
  
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Charset cs = Charset.defaultCharset();
        System.out.println("The default charset of the machine is :" + cs.displayName());
    }
}

However I still got an error like this:

After adding -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to java's arguments, it has worked flawlessly. The final command is: java -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=50.0 -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar nortantis_map_generator.jar
I'd suggest adding it if it causes no external problems, or at least leave that message in the issue in case someone stumbles in here with the same problem. Cheers and thanks for the awesome work with this generator

Thanks for investigating this. I went ahead and made the changes you suggested in the run files for Windows and Linux.
