System Terrain Generator

[Siretu]

I got a question. Can you make it do some rivers and lakes and stuff? If not, is there even a way to add that with triggers?

 

[Trollvottel]

you cant change terrain to water AFAIK

 

[Siretu]

Well thats bad. I'll have to add normal rivers then.

 

[FhelZone]

This is great

I can only do destructables, unfortunately. There is a rock destructable, but it's that selectable one that you can destroy.

When terrain is done, pick every rock and make it invulnerable?

Hey, this is cool, thanks. But do you think you could make a smaller version, like one that in a small area of the map, randomly makes some terrain?

I say turn the whole map into water in the editor, then with the water thing unchecked (forget what its called) put the land back on top. Then should the generator make a low enough level, water will appear and be "generated" into the map. Gotta love it when you trick a map into doing what you want it to

When generating destructables, is it possible to set the scaling value of the trees? Trees with a modified scaling value work fine when individually placed in the editor, but all generated ones seem to be the tiny default size.

This is almost exactly what I need, but I need it to generate a specific shape/texture, just in a different region every time...

Do you know how I could do that?

Is this lagg-free when having a map at the size of 256x256 ?

ALL MY REP ARE BELONGING TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a hell of a GOOOD SYSTEM !

 

[Accname]

very nice system. i made a similar one for one of my games and i know how hard it is. though the problem is that the terrain and destructibles are not visible on the map, you could change it by creating dummy units at the positions but this might cause heavy lagg depending on how many units you will need.

btw: heres my game, the generator i am using is very much the same way to go, just a bit more complicated for the games engine: Link

Well is it just me or does this system make the same terein over and over again?

Well, it is random... Though it uses only a few tilesets at each game start. It doesn't offer full randomization (like first game snow, second fall, etc.) if that's what you wanted so you have to trigger it yourself.

JASS version doesn't use the Set AffectedRegion variable in the Height Generator. The result? Everywhere on my map gets affected and it causes a huge amount of lag.

Other than that it's a nice system.

Can't seem to find the JASS version in the test map o.o

Sorry to bring this topic back alive again, but the generator is taking too long to create a simple 64x64 map. Do you guys can suggest me something to make it faster? Thanks.

 

[Ghan]

If you reduce the seed number it should work more quickly. What are you setting it at now?

 

[Immolation]

It's currently at 160. And it takes about 45 seconds to generate the terrain. Also, I'm using the GUI version, since I can't find the JASS one.
