As a part of the planned Economics update I'm working on resources generation. This is a first look on how Resources Editor may be implemented in the future. It's far from being production-ready, more like a proof-of-concept. But as the update may take months, I would like to start sharing the work in progress screenshots to keep the community informed and get an early feedback.

I have added 17 new types of crosses. I believe now it should be enough for most cases. Going to add more complex charges next.

Just a bunch of new charges added to Armoria. All images are from wappenwiki.org.
2021-03-17 20:18:08 +0000 UTC View PostHello. Here is pretty tricky update for Armoria API. It was generating random coat of arms, but now I've added an ability to get COAs created in Armoria GUI. So you can make a request like below and it will always produce the coat of arms you want, not a random one.

This is manly a refactoring and code optimization effort, but as data model for rulers and ocean pattern is not changed, I have to move the version to get your old maps auto-update.
Just a few visible changes:
* Linear Rulers is replaced by Polyline ruler. It's easy to use for route distancing, just drag yellow circle to add a new point and grey to update old points. It will calculate total distance in selected scale and units
* Other rulers work almost the same as they were...

This update is coming quite unexpectedly. About a month ago gitHub user CanisArtorus was able to resolve an issue with river system we had: rivers were ignoring lakes on generation, so lakes were completely out of river system. Now I was able to further improve the code and turn it into a solid system. I was also able to select lake type dynamically, so that whether the lake is salt, dry or of fre...

Hello-hello! Finally, after 8 months since the last big update for Fantasy Map Generator, I'm glad to publish a new one: v1.5 - Emblems Update.

The current update turning Armoria into PWA, which means that desktop and mobile browsers will allow to install it as a standalone application. It also means that application can work offline, internet connection is required only on the first load to download code and charges (about 1mb).
Mobile Chrome should suggest to ad...

The update mostly contains optimization and UX changes. The tool was not optimized and Edit screen was pretty slow if coat of arms is complex. Now the UI should work smoothly not matter how many elements are added. I did not try insane numbers, though.
Another important change is ability to customize stroke of charges and ordinaries and also ability to place ordinaries over charges.
I have also added a button to get a link for the exact coat of arms copied to clipboard, introduced...
2021-01-18 22:16:39 +0000 UTC View PostA number of update for quality of life.
This time I have added quite a lot of new shield shapes and organized them all into 8 catogories.
Now we have 38 shapes in total, including all common historical ones, 5 generic fantasy and 7 from Tolkien's Middle Earth arts.
Regarding the Middle Earth ones. I invented only the one for Erebor. Others are created for the LOTR films by Weta Workshop. The shapes are simple and actual visualisations are made be me, but be copyrighted. I would recommend to avoid using them for commerci...

New update for Armoria: now you can not only change color of existing tinctures, but also create new custom ones and manually define how frequently they will appear in your coat of arms.
See wiki-page for more details about heraldic colors. Please note that I am not goind to add all possible tinctures. Only 7 basic ones are common, all other are extremely rare and used only in some regions. Neverth...

An important update, took me 3 days to complete. Now custom charges can be loaded to the Tool. Source images may be in png, jpg or svg formats.
PNG and JPG should be transparent to look good. If not, an external image editor can be used to add transparency. Raster images are single-color.
SVG images should be prepared based on provided template. In this case charge will have selected tin...

People ask me how they can help and I'm usually say that they are helping me just using the tool and sharing the link. That's true, but some people are good to help the project financially. I'm not a huge fan of the subscription model and not going to make any special content for supporters, sorry. All content will be public.
I doubt it's a good idea to take money for a non-profit project, but having some positive number on the screen can help me to prove that I'm not just wasting time to my f...
