Teeworlds Discord Server.

Between 2020-05-08 00:00:00Z and 2020-05-09 00:00:00Z

CCC?

Not really

@n000b that's difficult to do

@vietong does the server have anything to do with teeworlds?

I have a partial docspec for this avp thing written, sorry other shit has interrupted :P

15:28

can anybody recommend good map editing tutorials and or mods to copy features out of? I know about infection + zombie mode

15:29

I have a couple of ideas, including one that is essentially a procedurally generated environment thing so 'teeworlds in a minecraft world sideways' sort of deal

15:30

like, I think it could be done as a level in vanilla teeworlds

15:31

join this server and it's a procedurally generating level thing. it's a thought, I'm not 100% sure, maybe there are some restrictions in how the level is held in memory that would mean it has to be done by some kind of clever gating or something

Making mods require programming skills though

I am programmer

Ah, okay

no problem, I'll program what I need to

15:31

but I'm trying to think clearly about how to do this, type of thing

15:31

also this is a side project and other urgent shit can and will backburner it

15:32

but TLDR have you ever played the fps franchise 'alien vs predator'

15:32

especially the multiplayer?

15:34

short version, there's aliens who have a gun and flashlight and a jetpack, there's aliens have perfect vision but it's all one color that climb and have night vision and melee attacks, there's predators with a grappling hook and heat seaking missiles and thermal vision

15:34

in teeworlds context, the idea is to make this a sideways version for multiplayer

15:34

sort of a zcatch with 3 classes thing

15:38

one climbs and has one hit kill melee attack and jumps like 8 blocks (also 90 degree jumps away from whatever surface climbing on) as an 'alien tee', one with a machine gun (fast pistol) and a jetpack as 'the humans', and a "predator" tee that has the normal grappling hook and something like the shotgun shooting out the laser beams, as a basic "copy paste this to that" initial mechanic

15:38

so 8 block jump aliens, 6 block jump predators, 4 block jump humans, something like this

15:39

also maybe 12/10/8 HP

15:39

I'd like to figure out how to do the lighting mechanic thing too, it seems doable

Procedural generation is kinda out of question

well here's my thought on hacking that

15:39

there's gateways right?

Nope

portals whatever it's called

Well ddnet has them hacked in

go in x spawn out at y

15:40

yeah

15:40

ddnet has this

15:40

extensively

Yep they dont even predict that bad

so the way to hack this is to have a number of 'prototype places' and have the gates between conditional, and those conditions are the map

Hm so a set of pregenerated map parts the player traverses in a random order?

15:41

I guess with enough parts it could feel pretty decent

yeah like you fill out 'what pieces the map generates out of' as 'the level' as a level editor and then it serves up those put together as 'you are in x instance of piece' sort of thing

15:42

it's a fucking hack, it may not work, it seems problematic for shooting etc

15:43

but it might be doable if those are solvable problems

15:44

hell even if you did a 4x4 grid of "here's some empty, obstacle, full, and traversable prototype squares", like a region of gameplay of maybe 20x20 or 40x40 squares at a time type of thing, you could take some kind of a DND dungeon generator mechanic and sort of make sure there are paths through that connect

couldnt u procedurally generate with multiple maps

16:23

if you run a script

16:24

but then all the players would have to connect to the same map

yes also doable

17:39

or, seems like

problem is that it will never look continuous

18:39

it'll be more like stages at best

yeah

21:24

i think the easiest way to make it "look" continuous is with your D&D square mechanic

21:25

you could make it looks seamless by teleporting the tee to the same position in the new square as they were in the old square

21:25

and just having a large set of possible stages

just make multiverse with map generator

22:20

mrpg/adventures have multiverse

22:23

ninslash have map generator
