Is Osfront going to have a Random Map Generator?

Post by diablo1 »

I believe this has been a subject of wonder since Winterstorm. Have you added a random map generator yet?

Please don't tell me about some editor or player made maps as that is not my question. it's a pretty simple question to answer with yes or no.

Well, I see Stridor answered just as you requested, with a simple no.

But I can't help but add that there is a random map selector, which will select from over 50 maps right now.

thanks

To be honest with you, Map Maker, IMO, makes maps too complicated to do by random. By that I mean it picks an actual spot the earth and puts that in the game. That's not something you can just click a button and 2 minutes later have finished for you. The maps available for random battles are all actual places. Where battles actually happened. There's a reason that a fight takes place where it does and usually it's the terrain. Try these maps in random situations and see if you don't agree.

If there was a random battle genrator, maybe the StuGs would show up more?  Given the mathematics?

We didn't say there wasn't a random battle generator. We said there wasn't a random map maker. That's what diablo 1 asked about. It's what he got an answer to.
