RMMV: new map at runtime

[Rehwihola]

Hey. I'm using this https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/procedural-maps-generator.83242/ plugin and I'd like to generate more maps at runtime as player progresses. Is it possible? How? Could RMMV JavaScript plugin or event create a data/Map###.json file or something?

I think I found a way to generate new maps at runtime. =)

            //generate a new map
            nextMapId = $dataMapInfos.length;
            console.log("mapEdgeTransfer generating: ",nextMapName," id: ",nextMapId);
            newMap  =   {"id":nextMapId,"expanded":true,"name":nextMapName,"order":nextMapId,"parentId":0,"scrollX":1716,"scrollY":1048.3636363636365};
            $dataMapInfos.push(newMap);
            //map data file
            var path = require('path');
            var fs = require('fs');
            var sourceFile = path.dirname(process.mainModule.filename)+"/data/Map"+String(nextMapId-1).padZero(3)+".json";
            var targetFile = path.dirname(process.mainModule.filename)+"/data/Map"+String(nextMapId).padZero(3)+".json";
            fs.createReadStream(sourceFile).pipe(fs.createWriteStream(targetFile));

I noticed that $dataMapInfos gets reset when I save & quit & continue. I had to save it too:

            //generate a new map
            nextMapId = $dataMapInfos.length;
            console.log("mapEdgeTransfer generating: ",nextMapName," id: ",nextMapId);
            newMap  =   {"id":nextMapId,"expanded":true,"name":nextMapName,"order":nextMapId,"parentId":0,"scrollX":1716,"scrollY":1048.3636363636365};
            $dataMapInfos.push(newMap);
            //copy map file
            var path = require('path');
            var fs = require('fs');
            var sourceFile = path.dirname(process.mainModule.filename)+"/data/Map"+String(nextMapId-1).padZero(3)+".json";
            var targetFile = path.dirname(process.mainModule.filename)+"/data/Map"+String(nextMapId).padZero(3)+".json";
            fs.createReadStream(sourceFile).pipe(fs.createWriteStream(targetFile));
            //save $dataMapInfos file
            targetFile = path.dirname(process.mainModule.filename)+"/data/MapInfos.json";
            fs.writeFileSync(targetFile, JSON.stringify($dataMapInfos));
