If there is no version conflict, please raise a defect. If your map is obsolete, you may either use an [appropriate version](https://github.com/Azgaar/Fantasy-Map-Generator/wiki/Changelog) of the Generator or re-create a map in a current version. The tool is under development and version conflicts are inevitable.
### Why there are so many bugs?
It's just a beta-version, I'm going to fix all major bugs on release. Also I'm not a professional programmer, so the code is a bit messy. Professional help is highly appreciated.

### Can I export a created map?
Sure, there are 3 available options:
* Save as .map: file can be lately loaded to Generator
* Save as .svg: save a full map as a scalable vector image, you can edit the image using any desktop vector graphics editor (I recommend Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator)
* Save as .png: save the currently displayed map fragment as a raster image. You can edit the file in any raster graphics editor, e.g. in MS Paint
* Save as .svg: save a full map as a scalable vector image, you can open the file in browser or edit it using a vector graphics editor
* Save as .png: save the currently displayed map fragment as a raster image. You can edit the file in any raster graphics editor
### How can I open a saved .map file?
Open the generator, click on "Load" and select a .map file. Or just drag and drop .map file to the Generator window. No desktop application is required, .map is an internal Fantasy Map Generator file format.

### Can I manually edit a .map file?
Yes, you can do it using any text editor. But please note that without clear understanding you may break the formatting and file won't be loadable anymore. The common error is that most text editor automatically split embedded svg into separate lines.

### How to launch Generator offline?
Generator is a web-tool, but can be run offline it previously downloaded. To download the tool do to [Releases](https://github.com/Azgaar/Fantasy-Map-Generator/releases), select the latest available version and click on _Source code (zip)_. Then unzip the downloaded archive and open the _index.html_ file in browser. I recommend to use Google Chrome or Firefox.

You can also try an Electron desktop application - download an archive for your architecture, unzip it and run the _Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator.exe_.

Kind of. Modern technologies allows to turn any web-application into a desktop application using Electron. The Generator is not designed for a desktop, so there can be some minor issues.

Localization is not planned, there is not too much text and I almost sure everyone can use the Generator without English proficiency. But you can localize the Generator on your own, I support this initiative.
### You've mentioned a Medieval Dynasty simulator. What is it?
It's my meta-project. A CK2-style genealogical game focused on genetics. Generally wedding / dynasty breeding simulator (see the [screenshot](https://i2.wp.com/azgaar.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/screenshot-2018-2-9-dynasty-v0-11.png)). It's on pre-alpha and currently is on hold, so no Demo is available.
