Neroxis Map Generator

Postby n3roxis » 25 Apr 2018, 19:25

Hey All,

I'm currently working on a map generator. The first Prototype is now fully functional, so it's time to share some samples with you.
I've generated a batch of 16 Maps, picked 5 which i liked and uploaded them to the vault just before I wrote this post.
It would be awesome if you could give one or more of them a try and give me some feedback, suggestsions or whatever comes to your mind.

Would it be possible to script random reclaim spawn on every play, unpredictable but always symmetric/balanced?

Wow!
That's really cool :)

Do you also generate AI path marker automatically ?
It's almost impossible to autogenerate them after a map is finished, maybe your map generator has more information about the map/landscape etc to make such markers ?

I'm planing on eventually generating the whole map from skretch every match. These static maps are ment as a preview until the generator is good enough to be integrated into the client.

I' m looking into it, but this i currently not a priority. The maps are ment to be played pvp.

MisterK:

14 is probably my favourite from this batch. But I've already stumbeled upon even more interesting maps while developing the generator.

Looking forward to it:)

It looks great. Probably mappers can use the generator to get a head start and save like 1 week on making a 20x20 map at its current stage :D

You need add decals and somehow code in plateaus into your generation script.

The mountain ranges seem a bit bland being only sloping up at a constant angle, kind of like cones and where they go into the water it looks like there is a ring around the bottom of the mountain. Maybe it is going down to height X and the water goes lower, I dont know.

Your mirroring is also off by a tiny bit, but maybe irrelevant. F.ex. on proto_11 the top left water has a little mountain that doesnt come out of the water, the bottom right does.
