Map Generation Configs

This folder stores valid map generation configurations used by the WorldGuessr map generation system.

Purpose

Map gen configs define how locations are selected and distributed when generating custom maps. Each JSON file in this directory represents a different configuration that can be used to create maps with specific characteristics.

Configuration Structure

Each map gen config contains:

• CountryCodes: Array of country codes to include in the map (use "*" for all countries)
• DistributionStrategy: Defines how locations are distributed
  • Key: The distribution algorithm (e.g., FixedCountByMaxMinDistance)
  • LocationCountGoal: Target number of locations to generate
  • MinMinDistance: Minimum distance between locations (in km)
  • TreatCountriesAsSingleSubdivision: Countries to treat as single units
  • CountryDistributionFromMap: Reference map for distribution patterns
• ProximityFilter: (Optional) Filter locations based on proximity to a reference file
  • LocationsPath: Path to CSV file with reference locations
  • Radius: Radius for proximity filtering (in km)

Example Configs

• aeuw.json: All countries configuration with proximity filtering
