Mad Random Map Pack

[Chrazini]

Hey, what do you think about also making a ZR@ RMS script so that you can include your terrains in the RMS, so that they may be used by your map script but the rest of the game is unaffected?

Edit: Also, it would be very nice if you could include the ai_info_map_type line (see the reference here) for each of the maps. It would allow AIs to play the maps better - even though some are of course very hard for them, it would help with the most. Just select the original map that you think resembles your map best for each (+ the michi or nomad flags).

I've been told by the AI scripters that it is best to leave that AI attribute out, as it often confuses the AI more than helping them. All the modern AI's don't use this attribute anyway and is coded differently.

Added new maps
-Chutes
-Eyelets
-Rival Ridges
-Shallow Cove
-Smoulder
-Terrace(2.0)

I also added a WKB version of the overall pack, which is a bunch of balance changes to WK for anyone who may be interested. This is based off of some work I did a while ago that has gone through a few changes since then.

 

[TheMadCADer]

New maps and updates!
-Death Valley
-Frozen Cross
-Meridian
-Nomad Cross
-Ramparts

 

[TheMadCADer]

This update includes small improvements to some maps and also focuses on compatibility with DE.

Not all maps are compatible with DE. As of now, here are some notes:
-Arena-ception, Bermuda, Island Hideout, and Mountain Hideout are direct placement maps which do not work properly in DE.
-Badlands, Freezelands, Oases Bases, and Sand Pit normally start with a TC, but they don't in DE.
-Lake Fortress, Rival Cities, Team Pondarena, and Valley Fort normally start with all teammates inside the same set of walls. Teammates do not share walls in DE.

 

[TheMadCADer]

Changes in this update:
-Various fixes so that pretty much all maps are compatible in DE now
-Added "Frozen Fortress"
-Changed "Nomad Islands"

 

[TheMadCADer]

Various fixes in this update, specifically "grouped by team" maps are more consistent in DE.

List:

-Cove
-Death Valley
-Frozen Cove
-Frozen Fortress
-Himalayas
-Island Coves
-Lake Fortress
-Molten Moats
-Ramparts
-Rival Cities
-Team Pondarena
-Tree Forts
-Valley Fort

 

[TheMadCADer]

I have decided only to include the individual maps here. Since DE allows custom map packs internally, it seemed unnecessary to go through the extra work. If there is a request for the larger script, I would consider adding it back in. Just let me know.

 

[TheMadCADer]

Maps now available as a DE mod!

Currently there's no terrain mod for the maps on DE. Maps with lava terrain don't look very good. The game has common texture files for the terrains I use. Consider supporting my request for the devs to make the textures independent so a terrain mod can be possible. Leave a comment or something.

 

[TheMadCADer]

I went ahead and made a terrain mod for my maps on DE. Ideally this wouldn't have to be a data mod, but the game just doesn't work that way atm. The big restriction with this is that individual players within a game can't toggle them on or off. Either everyone's using it or no one is. You also have to select it before the game starts.

Feel free to provide feedback on how it looks. I think it's a bit difficult to see boars and deer on the darkened rocks, but that doesn't really matter past dark age. I could play around with it if needed.

No longer relevant

Is there a way to have a random map from this pool chosen? I only see the option to choose an individual map

Edit: NVM, found the answer to my own question! Map Mad Random does that. Looking forward to checking it out.

When you update the mod on the mod center, the old maps disappear, right? Is there a place where they still are stored?

Old maps are not publicly available, I still have them locally on my computer. So if you wanted to make use of them, you can message me.

Hey, just found this treasure
The excel does not mention which maps are suitable for which version of the game. I am on 1.5, with WK or potentially another mod and I would like to know.

Hi. I currently do not support versions other than DE unfortunately. The vast majority of maps still do work in 1.5 and WK, but some do not work the same, and others don't work at all. If you have questions about specific maps, you can ask me. I don't really have a list about the version compatibilities unfortunately .

 

[marathon16]

Ok, so I should safely guess that any map modified after DE release has DE features.
I would like to have a look into your previous versions that work for WK/ UP1.5. Ok, I have some basic RMS knowledge that would allow me to modify them for my needs, but original is always to be preferred
