The new version is here, bringing a new module called Mapmixer to the MMH55 features. It allows remixing already generated maps or refurbishing ToTe maps. It can even convert them for MMH55!
It also makes it possible to use water maps!

P.S. No major changes to the texts are done, so RC9a texts are compatible.
Something similar is valid for RC8b texts, but inconsistencies are possible.

Is the development of AI version 2 ongoing?
No, we don't have the AI code; this is Quantomas' work.
As far as I have heard, he is still working on it, and there is progress, but these are just rumors for now.
As you can see, we try to improve the AI with whatever tools we have at hand, but it is not much.
