Random map generator

A work in progress project for generating random maps for timberborn.

Unfortunately in order to walkaround source code when a user tries to create a new map, he will create a random one, hence the ability of creating a non-random map is disabled.

Before we load a map to the creator, we create a json file with some hardcoded values and heights generated randomly from algorithm discussed in the next section.

Generating map algorithm

I have prepared a few generators for maps. All of them implement IMapGeneratorModule. In order to switch to an older version of a generator, you need to change the module in TemporaryMapGenerator constructor.

The newest version of the generator is included in that class.

Below I will list all the generators in the orded of newest to oldest:

Simplest map generator

A generator that create a random heightmap of size [w,h]. The size range is [3,5] - modifiable in respected classes.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
