It's probably a problem in the mainline desert map because it has rather a lot of water too!

Ultimate Random Maps 1.4.0 for BfW 1.15/1.16

Post by SigurdFireDragon »

Ultimate Random Maps 1.4.0 is now available on the Wesnoth 1.16.x add-on server for BfW 1.15.14 and up!

Changes:
13 of the 20 maps have received significant updates!
Barren, Cave, Citadel, Desert, Flood, Island, Jungle, Lava, Marsh, River, Vale, Volcano, & Winter

Such as:
Addition of mushroom grove on several maps
Addition of coral reef on all maps using shallow water
Expanded variety of forests used.
Increased terrain variety
More embellishment variety

Gameplay Note! - All windmill embellishments have been removed from the map pack. Anytime you now see a windmill in these maps, it is a village!

In addition:
Added some of the new 1.16 terrains.
Replaced deprecated lua & terrains.
Added undef of all mapgen-utils.cfg macros to avoid coflicts with other add-ons
Added macros for keys/attributes appearing before the {HEIGHT} macros - all generator code is now via macros

If we take a look at the reworked mainline campaigns, we also have a high number of different combinations in the maps and a higher number of embellishments.
Did implement a version of what you suggested with the maps listed above. I'll get to some of the others at a later date.

Aside from adding river fords to several maps, ended up not doing much with the water. If I lowered it, there'd be too little overal, and if it's increased, it ends up having a lot like Marsh does.
So for most maps I left it at the levels that are in the mainline random map. It's such that it'll range between sometimes having a little or having a lot.

Thank you for the upload!

I'm a big fan of this add-on. The generation techniques for River and Volcano are brilliant.
Not a fan of fracture though. :/

I use this in my mod. It supports 1.14 and 1.16. Will there be an update for the 1.14 version?

I'm asking because I need to know how to deal with the cleanup. Currently I think I'll do this.

Code: Select all

#ifver WESNOTH_VERSION >= 1.15.0
{~add-ons/Ultimate_Random_Maps/cleanup/}
#endif

@vghetto Thanks

Not a fan of Fracture myself :D

No update for the 1.14 version, it's done.
