What engine does this use?
Subproject of my Batch RPG: RandomDungeonGenerator.
This is a Subproject of my Batch-RPG.
It's pure batch except one small VBS-Script used for effecient idle and a program called "cecho" which is used for multicolored Text-Output.
Features:
Secure Map naming
The program checks if the mapname is not used. Otherwise it will do nothing.Parameter-Handler
It is possible to give the program as many parameters you want.
No static expected parameters. You can type whatever parameters and values in
any order.Generate random maps
The mainfunction of this program.
It generates random paths.Map preview
You can have a look on the map, before it will generate the final
Output(Actually
there's no final output).Room detection
The program will detect rooms on the map, after the path is generated.
Actually it will only detect 3x3-rooms. I'll add 2x3/3x2-rooms later.percentage feedback of the generated path
It shows the actual percentage of the pathgenerator.
Parameters:
name
Set the name of the map. if already used, it will not do anything.RGDS
Name will be edited later.
It defines the startposition of the map. This can be used for an entrance/exit.
Actually there are 8 static positions on the edge of the map that can be used.
(1,2,3,4,1A,2A,3A,4A)
1=N/1A=NE
2=E/2A=SE
3=S/3A=EW
4=W/4A=NW
If no parameter is given, it will pick a random one.debug
The debug-parameter is only for developing. It shows a lot of values and
states as the scripts progresses.Pathchar
You can define the character which is then used as the path.
Default is: â–‘Wallchar
You can define the character which is then used as the walls/free space on the
map.
Default is: â–“Pathcolor
You can define the color which is used for the pathcharacter.
Default is: 02 (green)Wallcolor
You can define the color which is used for the wallcharacter.
Default is: 0B (aqua)noexit
Removes the exit on the map. The entrance can still be used as the exit.
Usefull when used with "Drawlimit".Drawlimit
Set a limit of path-tiles to be created. Only if used it shows a percentage
progress of the pathgenerator.
The use only makes sense if used with "noexit"drm
(Draw Room Markers)
Draws a white "X" on map positions where rooms are detected.
(working but still in development)
Experimental features:
ptweak
A parameter which is ON by default.
It adds some minimal options to the pathgenerator such as an edge-detector which
is still in development.Shadows
Shadows can be defined with a position(up, down, left, right) and whith a color.
Parameters:
-shadows
-shdir
-shcolor
To-Do:
Improve pathgenerator algorithm.
The Actual algorithm is working and i've not seen any bugs yet, but it create
"holes" or "big spots" too often. There are too many path-tiles in a specific area.
Bugs:
If the creation of big and ugly spots with too many path-tiles count as a bug... yeah, there's a bug.
Other bugs are not known yet, but i''l promise: As i progress with the script, i will add some bugs from time to time ;) #retro
