teleporters on random map

Hello, is there any way to set the density of teleporters on a random map? I have tried the bzfs option '-density' but it does not apply to teleporters. The list of Server Variables on the wiki has no way of doing it either. Is it possible? thanks in advance --MDSKPR

I could only think of a custom random-map-script which applies different density settings for boxes, pyramids and teleporters.
As far as I know there is no specific option to set the teleporter density.

There are several around but you probably need to write your own for this particular purpose.

If you're comfortable tweaking and recompiling bzfs, you could just edit src/bzfs/WorldGenerators.cxx to increase/decrease the minimum amount of teleporters.
Code: Select all
float worldfactor = worldSize / (float)DEFAULT_WORLD;
...
int numTeleporters = 8 + int(8 * (float)bzfrand() * worldfactor);
So as you can see, there is a minimum of 8, then a random amount of extra flags based on the world size (or perhaps less if the world size is smaller than normal?).

blast, would it be possible in the next version to make -t have an argument, lets say -t 13 to make thirteen teleporters on the map?

Almost anything is "possible".
