I am looking to create a totally new world map for my server, is there any random world generator i can use to create the landscape? Or is there any pre-made map without dungeons, and cities?
Help much appreciated!

There isn't anything perfect out there.
The land.c program (in the maps directory, Info subdirectory) was used to make the base for the current world map. There are a bunch of different options that change behavior. However, that is really just designed to generate a fairly large single land mass. Also, the selection of train in that program is fairly simplistic - high terrain=mountains, medium=hills, lower=forest, lowest = swamp or grass, and then water.

If you run the created binary with -m, it will write out crossfire formed maps.
The lmap file is in pbm format - most unix utilities (like ImageMagick's display) can understand the format. Often desirable to look at that lmap to see if the generated map looks sort of like what you want it to be like - if so, then you can re-run the program with the -m option to make the maps.
