You can use it instead of making another desert1 twin. It will place desert tiles using perlin noise or an image(btw, it must be horizontal mirrored(yep :D) 256 colors bmp).
I took original desert patterns from BIS Mapper so at least these sould look good.
Run it with -d key if you want to see your map primitive output in console.

Can't find any attach button so: http://rghost.ru/52662888

Perlin noise, yay! I have been using it in Lightwave for procedural textures, provides excellent results. I can't test this right now, but it sounds cool to have such utility around here  8)

Thanks a bunch... erhm, Realism!

Eh, I think that Python file was hastily made code I had written years ago (https://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,29554.0.html)
Realism either made his own thing or a vastly improved version of it, but I don't have it saved on my computer.

Uh, never saw this. Keep in mind that desert tiles aren't placed at random. They have certain pattern. There's sandy, and hard ground, as well as border/blend tiles. If you just randomly slap tiles together, you're doing it wrong.
