This function is called when the map preview in the frontend is initialized. This happens when the script is selected or you change a map generator parameter.
It is useful for scripts which create their own maps (see `AddPoint` and `FlushPoints`). If you create a map in this function, a preview will be generated from this map and is exposed to the frontend.
