Status (10/14/2007): I think I fixed the freezing temperature problem today (the one I described yesterday -- townspeople will still freeze at night and so on). Today saw a sheet of water five tiles high above the lake, so I worked with the elevations a bit (there were some problems with rivers pulling the ground down too much). Once things started working a little better, I took a screenshot of the starting wagon by a lake.

The HTML5 map viewer is currently in Alpha mode - I'm actively trying to develop new functionality.
There should be many very obvious problems with the viewer; please check
the
Issues page to notify or comment on the most egregious problems to help
me prioritise. The most common will be Loading... with an error
in the browser developer tools console. e.g. RangeError: Offset is
outside the bounds of the DataView
. Feel free to

with a link to the problematic map or point of interest.

You can download the compressed map file:
bay12games-lake.fdf-map
but you will need the .NET version of
SL's DF Map Compressor
to convert to the .PNG image format.

When I first saw this I nearly fell off the floor.

Two questions.
Toady had said that the map would not be artificially bounded, yet the picture ends sharply: Is that how the map appears in the game, or is it because of the way the image size was selected?
Also, what do the different colors on cliff sides mean?

Looks like new minerals, different types and what not... if I had to guess, the yellow/red tiles look like sand to me around the edge of the water.
