Deepwood forest is a random map script with a realistic distribution of forest trees. The forest is not impenetrable; instead there are lots of small passages snaking off into the trees. Those passages might lead to resources, or wolves, or other players, or dead ends. There are six different biomes each with different trees and terrains.
Resources are similar to the standard set, however some of them may be harder to find because they are hidden in the forest. AIs can play this map reasonably well.
To play, place the script in the random folder and then choose the following when setting up a match:
Map style - Custom
Location - ZN@Deepwood

Enjoy and tell me what you think!
Is there enough space to build? Is it causing any problems?

What I've seen so far has been pretty, but it's incomplete! |

The default should have been 15% chance for each one - which leaves 25% free for the "standard" forest. I've updated the file to fix this. (version 1.1)
About your issue though: try the new version please and tell me if it works, and if not - does it crash every time or only occasionally? |

I'll give it a runthrough now |

I'm not sure how you go about testing your maps (other than enjoying a good game on them :)), but the way I usually do it (which also helps immensely during the actual development) is to have the map editor permanently open. Every time I make a change, I can just save the file and then hammer the "generate map" button in the editor. You don't need to restart the game for the changes you made to your script to register. Feels much more streamlined than having to start up an actual game every time I want to test. This also picks up on potential crashes much faster.
Just a side note: I also get fairly frequent crashes on your stony shores map, which is annoying because that's such a brilliant rms script!
Thanks for all your maps! I've downloaded them all and have been thoroughly enjoying them (until they crash :P) |

Well, the way to see all versions is just to set one of them to 100 percent and then generate a match. But probably the reason why you haven't seen all the different ones is that some of them are similar. Frozen has snow, Standard uses oak forests, Alpine uses pine forests, Desert uses palm tress (when cut down, desert is below them), Tropical uses jungle, Asian also uses jungle (because in my opinion the bamboo is rather lame with little variation - it doesn't make a very nice forest. So Asian and Tropical are very similar - there are some slight differences in the base terrains.) I suppose I could look into using bamboo mixed with other trees - that might look ok...
About the crashes: 17/20 as a success ratio would explain why I didn't observe any crashes. I loaded a couple times randomly and then went through and set each theme to 100 percent, one after the other - and no single theme is causing a crash every time it is selected, as I suspected might have been the case. That makes things more complicated. I'm guessing that occasionally there are too many objects that can't be placed in a particular iteration of the map ... that could explain why stony shores was crashing for you as well - it's also a very full map. Anyway I've been planning to update that one to reduce clutter somewhat, so I guess I should really get around to doing that soon and see if that can get rid of crashes.
It's great to see that you enjoy my maps, I will see what I can do to make them better :) |

After some button smashing I have the following results (I set the percentage for each type to 100 first):
Theme Crash
Desert - No
Alpine - No but occasionally loads desert
Asian - crash
Frozen - No but occasional desert
Tropical - crash
Standard - No but occasional desert
Observations:
for those that are listed as "crash" this does not happen every time, but it does crash from time to time.
"occasional desert" ??? This is incredibly weird.
On the maps that don't crash, it occasionally loads the desert map instead of the one it should !!!
What could possibly be causing this? a bug in my script? - I really don't see how. A glitch in the UP system? - possibly
Advice is greatly appreciated
One possible theory I have is that the crashes are due to the map trying to load "desert" and that is somehow not working on Asian and tropical ... maybe due to the Jungle terrain ...
I'll investigate, but I have the feeling I am going out on a limb here
Please, if you have any ideas, do tell me!!!
PS. The Stoney Shores RMS seems to be fully stable |
