FloPinguin 46bbc8f296 New Map! "Four Islands" 🏝️ (#2482)
## Description:

Made a type of map we don't already have: Small square map, one Island
in each corner. Could be great for boat gameplay or maybe even nuke
wars.

The special thing is: **All islands are exactly 25% of the territory!**
Was a lot of work drawing that in GIMP...

This is a tool to generate map files for OpenFront.

Installation

  1. Install go https://go.dev/doc/install

Creating a new map

  1. Create a new folder in assets/maps/<map_name>

Create image.png

  1. Download world map (warning very large file) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W2oMPj1L5zWRyPhh8LfmnY3_kve-FBR2/view?usp=sharing
  2. Crop the file (recommend Gimp), we recommend roughly 2 million pixels for performance reasons. Do not go over 4 million pixels.

Create info.json
