Test Downloads
A new version of Worldographer with a few complex features & changes is available. To give it a try, download and install. Note: any files you save with this version won’t be re-loadable in the current main version of the program, so save them as a different name.
Windows Native Version
Download the Windows native version. Download the zip file, unzip it, and double click the .exe file to install. (Built by Excelsior JET.)
Mac OSX Version
The Mac build takes a couple extra steps to create. If someone on a Mac does wish to test the release, email support at inkwellideas dot com and we’ll start posting it here.
Java Version
To run the Java version, install/update Java if needed (Note that by default, the Java download site sometimes gives you a 32-bit version of Java, which would limit you to just 1GB of memory–you need the 64-bit version), open a command line and type:
java -Xmx4G -jar worldographer.jar
You can substitute the 4G with another number of Gigabytes. If using large hex maps that have more than 2000×2000 hexes (the size of each hex doesn’t matter) you’ll want 4 gigabytes or more, but it must be less than 3/4 of the memory on your computer. And because of the child map/multilevel map functionality, it is easy for the bottom (aka Kingdom) level to be over 2000×2000 if you use the bottom level.)
It is still easiest to use Java 8 for this. We’re investigating moving to Java 11 or 12 soon.
If you’re not using the standard Oracle Java (for example, TeaVM) see this thread as you may need to download additional libraries.
