This allows only specific regions of the map to be smoothened,
especially important on imported digital elevation models.
It uses the Inverse Distance Weighting / Shepard's method as mentioned
by Imarok and formerly implemented in the Pyrenean Sierra map by wraitii
in a796800bb1.
Supersedes the globalSmoothHeightmap function in FeXoRs heightmap
library, refs #3764.
Drop the heightmap argument to be consistent with the other painters.
If painting on arbitrary heightmaps is wished, the createArea mechanism,
all Placers, Painters, Constraints and Areas can and should support
that.
Update the HeightmapPainter from 6319647795 to not break if
TILE_CENTERED_HEIGHT_MAP is enabled (i.e. numVertices = numTiles), refs
#5018.
Use that mode on Mediterranean and Red Sea.
Drop the disabling of bicubic interpolation in the HeightmapPainter
instead of extending it to this feature.
Inevitable smoothing performance improvement for Belgian Uplands (from
45 to 15 seconds per call), even if it implies a somewhat different
outcome, refs #5011.
This was SVN commit r21175.
Replace needlessly complicated code with a call to HeightConstraint,
stayClasses and randomPlayerLocations, refs #4805.
Do texture painting and actor placement at the impassable map border
too.
Replace another occurrence of the number of impassable tiles at the map
border, refs #4034.
Delete useless clone from 7471a0db63 since setRandomHeightmap replaces
the result.
Remove unneeded setReliefmap and operate on the target heightmap
directly.
This was SVN commit r21171.
The balancing problem of too much maparea being covered by impassable
mountains is worsened by the unaltered heightmap.
Players have to fight for straggler trees now.
Can be improved with a pathplacer and the custom elevationpainter used
on Caledonian Meadows.
This was SVN commit r21164.
Visually more appealing and more authentic heightmap, better fitting
water effect, random shallows, better playerbase alignment, circular
map.
This was SVN commit r21161.
Add rubble to royal stoas, use 5x5 size for Sparta's foundation and
rubble.
