Your functions overlap with new rmgen functions. But the odd part is that there aren't any warnings/errors. Rename them to something like dfGetDistance and it will work. Only these three are the problem:

getDistance
getDirection
getAngle

I found notepad's replace function useful here.

Thx, I thought so, I'll rename them... 

BTW: I hope you mean @ least notepad++

Here we go.

Nothing changed but the function names and removed some unused stuff. EDIT: Well, indeed I put it here.
Edit2: Oh, it seams I raised the tree density... sry, well, at least it's a 'deep' forest then...

It works. Looks great. Perhaps try using trees other than the Baobab. I made the Baobab tree to have more branches and be higher poly because it's supposed to be used in a Savanna setting where trees are sparse. Try a pine tree version and a temperate tree version and see how the lag goes. I also recommend using terrain textures from the same biome together. They are generally made to fit together as a coherent set of terrain textures. Mixing terrains between different biomes can work, but it's tricky.

[FeXoR]

OK, I'll do all that.

May take some time though until the next version cause I'll do some rewrites.

Found some bad code design and since I got to know JS a bit better I want to change it.

Thy for the feedback though.

EDIT: I'll go temperate. I think it fit's best to a deep forest...

Hui, I didn't read that before but 'deep forest' looks very similar to 'Ardennes Forest' in the 'MAPS AND BIOME GUIDE'.

Should really have read that x)

Didn't play AoK.

Didn't meant to steel someones ideas or offense anybody by naming my map 'deep forest' and not ' Ardennes Forest' (which is already taken btw) or anything else.

No problem. There can be more than 1 type of forest map.

I think your map matches the description of 'Ardennes Forest' in the guide much more than mine.

It is well done!

[FeXoR]

THX, I will get to work on it again tomorrow. EDIT: Monday Edit: Well, soon

Guess I will more or less finalize it then.

[FeXoR]

The map is not working any more due to changes in the rmgen libraries.

I'm working on it...

[FeXoR]

Here is a total rewrite.

Not finished but 1/4 of the lines of the previous version

It may happen (though it only happened to me once) that a path runs out of the map and causes an error.

I'm still not happy with the terrain textures. Any suggestions welcome.

If you play with many players on a small map everything will be covered with paths. But 3 players on a tiny map is ok so it's not that bad.

On large or greater maps the woods is still thin to avoid out of memory errors.

Ideas and criticism welcome.

Edit: Start position and starting resource placement not randomized yet.
Deer, sheep and chicken to be added.

Edited by FeXoR, 21 March 2012 - 12:05 AM.

[FeXoR]

Here's a version with randomized stuff, some templates changed to temperate and lots of animals to hunt.

I don't like wolfs so I didn't add them yet. I will when they don't destroy buildings or an acoustic alarm with event position is added.

NOTE: This is for the SVN version and will not work properly in alpha 9!

Works smoothly with Alpha 10. And not as laggy anymore.

Small "concern": the trees are not centered correctly, it would appear there is a strip around the bottom left "side" of the map where there are no trees
(the image comes from the AI terrain detection I'm working on, you can see the white strip in the bottom left)

Nice! I think I know why: I leave a border free of trees to avoid trees are unreachable. I plant all trees in coordinates with integer x/y values. I check the distance to the border with (x*x + y*y)**(1/2). I noticed that a map has NOT getMapSize() tiles but getMapSize() + 1.

So all the trees would have to be placed (currentX - 0.5, currentY - 0.5).

I will check this...

[FeXoR]

The reason is that the trees are placed on the center of the tile (so tile coordinate + 0.5 in x and y direction).
Fixed the corresponding check and added a comment.
Now it should be alright.
Here are the files including the SVN .diff (only one line in the .js changed): http://fexor.dyndns....rest/2012-11-4/
And a screenshot that seams to indicate it works: http://fexor.dyndns....st2012-11-4.jpg

[Geek377]

Did we ever get that system implemented that no longer placed resources at the map edge? because the AI still seem to crowd around a tree that doesn't exist (or can't be seen).
