Zetnus's Random Map Scripts

Description
The goal of HyperRandom is to provide a large amount of variation, while still making it reasonably fair, by providing the same variation for each player.
HyperRandom will generate maps that seem similar to standard maps, but does so totally at random. There is no pack of maps that are chosen from; rather many different parameters are varied.
You can customize HyperRandom to your own preferences, by commenting or uncommenting definitions at the top of the script.

ZN@HyperRandom has most of the random features enabled.
ZN@HyperRandomLight disables a lot of randomization in an effort to provide an experience that might be more suitable for competitive gameplay, and more aligned with the standard maps. Resources and units are always standard and map layouts try to be balanced.
