Re: Whose black candle is this?
Well the steps would be
A) create a map that has the boundaries but none of the artwork
B) find an x/y location for each province so that color can be targeted there with a fill command
C) find out who owns which provinces
D) create a jpg for viewing online
(A) is possible in two ways. Using one of the new random generators in the mod/map forum which allows you to reuse the same seed with different color settings. Or using ImageMagick tools to create a mask of a Dom3 generated map.
(B) either using one of the new tools which actually records the white-point positions. Or use imagemagick to do it which would be pretty hard.
(C) have the game process with many -d switches giving you as much debug data as possible. Then digging thru that log file for references to wars and such telling you who won the fight and where. Not the best way in the world I grant but possible.
(D) ImageMagick again to put it all together doing pattern or color fills, on the white-point position, of the province, for each combat recorded from the log file.. then outputting it as a jpg

Nothing is impossible. Its a computer. Impossible is just a short way of saying "I could get it to work but it wouldnt be worth all the time and effort it would take."
