new map

[lean trellis]

needed to make new missions

[somber rivet]

what

what are you trying to say

[lean trellis]

need new maps to create more missions cuz current ones are outdated

[short sapphire]

Alright...

Any ideas?

[stable sapphire]

You can create any map you want with the new map/terrain generator.

select "custom island" then press terrain to use the terrain tools to scuplt the terrain

Otherwise maybe some <@&1155003221266415666> team can suggest sharecodes with some existing maps that you could use? If not maybe I (or someone) could create some

[magic mica]

I can make some

[cedar path]

Make a competition

Though the map maker is too small imo

I’d like to be able to make larger terrain than island

[coral oak]

What do you mean new map?

[cedar path]

Using the terrain editor

[stable sapphire]

ah true, maybe I make this?

So I used water to kind of hide the edges

should I make an infinitely looping one?

so it starts out all flat, but loops like new desert?

[cedar path]

Sure

Though you could maybe make terrain editor work on desert and grass and snow

[pallid sleet]

would you be able to update the steam version so i’d be able to do map edits on the computer?

[stable sapphire]

ah yeah, they are different systems but I could try coyping

[stable sapphire]

yes my bad

will do now

[pallid sleet]

thank you :)

that way it will be large enough for me

[stable sapphire]

I will push that

[pallid sleet]

so then the next few weeks i can work on a mega mission

[stable sapphire]

then I'll look at letting you edit the new desert map

I have to work out how to convert between the formats

[pallid sleet]

you need to start having other devs working on this too

i know financially that would be hard, especially with a free game - but finding “interns” like with moderation on this server i feel would be very beneficial for you

even with just simple bugs or UI changes

or even SEO / content management on your social media

[brazen thistle]

I love getting pinged

[stable sapphire]

yep, its on my todo list for 2025

[magic mica]

I have been told I am a dev

[stable sapphire]

apologies, but wanted to open this up as I think it's critical for improving missions and want to put it out there for any designer to give their input into how I can improve the maps

[magic mica]

“I’m the dev now”

[stable sapphire]

we need to get you a pc so you can learn to code

[magic mica]

🤑

I know python turtle

[stable sapphire]

Perfect starting point

[magic mica]

Don’t think that would help lol

[brazen thistle]

Oh no man, it's cool lol. I was being sarcastic

[stable sapphire]

it's actually not that hard. Most of game dev is like 20 different things done over and over

[magic mica]

lol

[stable sapphire]

I should do a course on it, it's pretty simple stuff when you break it down

[brazen thistle]

I really don't mind being pinged lol. I like appearing out of nowhere and say stuff like "Who dares ping me" www

me every ping ^

[stable sapphire]

Steam verison updated, let me know if I blew anything up

[pallid sleet]

me too bro

taking cs now for 2 years

in and outside of school

[pallid sleet]

awesome i’ll get to it when im home - at the library studying my life away for exams tmr

it’s Next Game right or is it the official beta one

[coral oak]

Like entire new map competition for like dogfighting and cas and that

[blazing idol]

Kevinedp

[blazing idol]

I know C and C++ well it's now c# turn

[lean trellis]

nice, didn’t see it last time I checked.
appreciate the good work

[short sapphire]

Yes but the custom island is only a certain space in which you can build

[stable sapphire]

I started with C/C++. It's a joy moving to C#, the tooling is incredible and the language is my all time fav

[stable sapphire]

Yeah my bad I haven't really let people know enough about it

[stable sapphire]

yes, I am going to try make infinite like the new desert

[stable sapphire]

Made good progress on infinite custom maps tonight. It's pretty slow to save/load so I need to work out best size/performance

@cedar path it's not easy for me to convert existing desert to the new system as the creator doesn't officially support, but I'll try create something close for you as a default

I also think a map competition once this new setup is in will work well
