map generator

[mathiaz]

Hi,

You will find in attached file the big python script who draw map.

It s not perfect. At the beginning it s was just in idea, and it become a real game to write it. So the script grow bigger and bigger as a golem monster.
I know, It needs to be clean. But this is the end of winter, this season where the need of light make me seat behind a computer.
So i prefer post now a first release, than wait another year.

Anyway it works. Just run it as:
>python3 __init__.py > new_map.bzw

Short description of the files that you could play with :
- __init__.py : some server configuration
- Conf.py : configuration parameter as worldsize , size of the bloc, ...

See you

PS :If someone tell me the command to take an overview snapshot, i will post some.

Nice! I'm in the process of creating a randomly generated forest map with python.

If by overview snapshot you mean an in-game screenshot, I would recommend the following; join as an observer, use shift + up/down to move up and down, and ctrl + up/down to change the angle of the view up and down. I would recommend an aerial view while looking down a bit and seeing as many objects as possible. When in the right position, use F5 to take an in-game screenshot. On Linux, it will be located in .bzf (hidden folder) > screenshots.

Some pictures here.

Yellow blocs are shootthrough
Green pyra are drivethough
Red blocs could be use to jump on higher bloc...

Could you also pick and include an open-source license for this?

[mathiaz]

Sure it is open source, under the GNU General Public License
See http://www.gnu.org/licenses/

I will add it in next post.

[mathiaz]

Ok thanks for your precision.
The previous code is open source, under GNU AGPLv3.

Nice Work. Fun Map.

A new map is generated every time the server empty's.

Hi,

I realize that there I forget to activate some good features in first archive released.
So prefer use this version.
I make it run without any problem with python 3.5.

Have good time.

if you want make a public server with it.
Edit __init__.py

Hi,

Same generator with one main modification :
- The high of bloc aren t completly random. So there is less level. It s now easier to shoot tank on a bloc from another bloc.

Some more idea, but later

[mathiaz]

Here last version of the map generator.

What s new :
- bloc higths are harmonized
- new pattern (big blocs, line ..)
- more colors
- some teleporters
and more...

Just download it and run it with pyton 3:
python3 __init__.py > mymap.bzw
