The module creates a mapGEN folder in saved levels and fills it with fake pngs, one for each scheme, clicking on those pngs runs mapgen and loads the result.

Ok, uploaded a new version with the wk module etc for people to play with, not as far along as I wanted it to be for this release but theres so many bug fixes etc and i'm so low on time again that I thought i might as well.

http://www.wormscc.co.uk/download/mapgen/mapGen030pre.rar

To get the wk module working, simply un-rar mapgen to where-ever then run mapGen.exe. This sets up the regestry with a list of valid gametypes for the version of mapgen installed and the location you put mapgen so WA can find it.
Then copy/move the dll in the wkMapGEN folder into your WA folder and when you run wormkit there will be a mapgen folder in the savedlevels map list.

Any problems give me a shout.
