The last thing someone needs to do is grep the whole thing and rename "citygen" to general map generation framework.

##Citygen framework by Dany0, 2015

So you want to make a new map generator? Well you've come to the right place!
|
|
|
|
In pkg/base/citygen you will find gen_city.lua which contains the basic framework.
|
|
|
|
But you want to build a new generator, so just jump right into it.
|
|
|
|
You'll need to mention your generator code file in modes.json. Add a new item there, it should probably look something like this:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"default" : [ "dany0/default/gen_terrain.lua", "dany0/default/gen_buildings.lua" ],
|
|
"mynewmapgenerator" : [ "anon/mynewmapgenerator/mynewmapgenerator.lua" ]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Note that you need at least one file in it to work. The following is a minimal code that will generate a flat terrain.
|
|
|
|
--code start
|
|
|
|
function gen_terrain(mx, my, mz)
|
|
local r, g, b = 12, 12, 12 -- base ground colour
|
|
for x=0,mx-1 do
|
|
for z=0,mz-1 do
|
|
l = {0, my - 4, my - 4, 0, b, g, r, 1} -- map pillar, check out the vxl file format for "columns"
|
|
common.map_pillar_set(x, z, l)
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
-- function load_buildings()
|
|
-- dofile(DIR_CITYGEN_BUILDINGS.."/basic_building.lua")
|
|
-- end
|
|
|
|
-- function create_city_grid()
|
|
-- end
|
|
|
|
-- function manufacture_buildings()
|
|
-- end
|
|
|
|
--code end
|
|
|
|
As you can see you need to specify - override a few functions. These functions will be called by gen_city.lua.
