Add Cave Icons?

[whinis]

Hello, I was wondering if there could possible be the ability to add caves somehow? Would be a nice thing to add to mountains even if added manually.

That's an interesting idea. You could try doing that by adding the cave icon as a city under assets/icons/cities/<group name>/. I recommend you create edits for the map first so the generator doesn't try to place the cave city for you. Just opening the editor, then closing it and saving your map, will bake the changes so that the generator can't change them. Once you've done that, use the icon editor to put the cave wherever you want. Note that the width the image is drawn with is encoded into the file name, although that width will vary if you adjust the resolution slider in the background tab. If you would rather have the cave icon show up randomly in mountain ranges, you could add it to the folder for the icons for that mountain type. But if you go this route, you won't be able to stop the generator from using it. Although you can click the polygon in the editor to cause it to randomly select a new image for that particular mountain, and keep clicking this until you either get the cave you want or swap out the cave for another image on that polygon. But if you then go and change the icon files again for that mountain type, you might have to repeat all of these steps. Also, mountains give you no control over the size icon draws at. It's determined by the size of the polygon the mountain is drawn on.

Thanks, I will try the first option as I am currently using the editor to place caves where players have been

This worked pretty well, took the mountain image and made it a "city" with a cave icon
