Arena Layout Thread
« on: April 02, 2010, 07:12:28 am »
In the init folder is the arena layout .txt, which can be changed. The letters seem to be as follows:

# - Empty
P - Solid Rock
F - Fortification
. - Rock Floor
L - Lava
W - Water
R - Up Ramp

So, post your edited arena layouts here in code tags.

Proper English will make people take you more serious.

In order to improve the universe's frame rate, we must all throw rocks into volcanoes and then do absolutely nothing, worldwide, for a week, to take pressure off pathfinding.

I call it easy on frame rate.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.  The obvious solution is to chain the baby up at the entrance as a kobold detector.

Fair enough :P
Does it glitch if you remove levels?

I will probably make a set of dozens of 5x5ish and a few 10x10 sections so that I can test stuff with mini-battles...

ARRRR!!!! We need boats that are docking each other and/or individual galleons and such for different kinds of boat battles.

I need to take some time in crafting something that would be interesting. Plus, we need some arena ideas like my boat one.

Variations within arena:
Individual galleon (mutiny battles)
Parallel docked boats (capture battles)
Perpendicular docked boats/collision (capture battles type 2)
Boat docked on land (siege)

For added challenge for the battles, change water into magma. Burn the swimmers.

Bonus: Have a mini island isolated from all the arenas in the center to serve as purely for landlubbers. Maybe have a giant palm tree/crow's nest/outpost setup to serve as a spot for a "ref".


Oh, and is there any kind of text viewer or something that would allow you to layer each Z-level on top of each other? The only other alternative I can think of is using Notepad++ and Adobe Illustrator in tandem with each other to get things to look right. Provided I use a monotype font to keep everything consistent.
