Multiple other bugs were found, like #47. Apart from that, I couldn't reliably reproduce issue #39 to find the cause. This is where most of the problems with rails lie. In those cases, roads but through mountains and clear everything on top, forming a chasm.Ī new AdvancedRails module was created to extract some stable features from AdditionalRails. This works for MR which has a largely flat world, but doesn't work for mountainous terrains and other modules, like TutorialDynamicCities. Information about surface height is not handled properly. The RailRasterizer needs improvements to fix some issues at segment boundaries, like the ones shown in the image below.ģ. The road is laid in segments which are directed portions of the road. This will need to be investigated more thoroughly later.Ģ. After the road is laid the game turns back to normal.
There's a huge performance hit when a new city is found and the road is calculated, despite things being cached all the time and using custom block placement classes from DC.

The following is the code to do that, in RailBlockFamily.ġ. If not, it goes down to a lower priority. The system checks if some rotation of a higher priority block is available. I also implemented a priority system for rails to solve the problem of which rail from the family should be laid down in case we have multiple options. Once that was completed, I only had to create a rasterizer in MR which would lay down custom blocks on the roads created. Some new improvements were made to the module, but many more network issues came up and had to be left for later.īefore I started connecting cities with rails in MR, I first had to connect cities by roads in DC. Rails was a critical part of Metal Renegades from the start, due to its industrial setting. The icons are clamped to the border of the map by the following code in CentreOverlay Rails This makes finding cities that you've already found easier. All changes can be seen below in the PRs section.Īn icon was added to the minimap marking cities that have been discovered. A number of other changes were also made to the module to facilitate other features. As our desert map doesn't have grass at all, this check had to be removed. One necessary change was that the DC module checked for grass when it chose locations to build a city. The DynamicCities module was used to add them.

The lakes shown in the image below were also removed because of performance issues in the Lakes module. For now, the temperature and humidity values are constant, resulting in a desert throughout.Ģ. I was trying to manipulate these two parameters in a way that would give me the PLAINS biome occasionally on the map, but wasn't able to achieve satisfactory results. The surface temperature and humidity at a point define a biome. It is calculated as surfaceNoise.noise(position.x(), position.y()) * 3 + 10)ġ. It also has some mountains and hills originally generated using Perlin Noise, which was deprecated in the course of this project. The terrain generated by the map is a simple desert with minor height variations (of three blocks) generated randomly. Most of my goals were successfully accomplished and the ones that had to be left have no impact on the gameplay. The unique settlements and terrain form the basis of this game mode. The module also provides the necessary framework to build upon and implement more complex systems. My project focused on adapting basic gameplay systems from other modules into this one and have a playable multiplayer in the end. It is set in a fantasy setting of a Wild West populated by robots and aims to give players an RPG style gameplay with different factions and quests. Metal Renegades is a new gameplay template for Terasology. It would be nice to allow players an option to enter an /afk command into the game console that would then add/remove an AFK label on their player entry in that overlay.Terasology is an open source voxel based online multiplayer sandbox game. Currently in Terasology if you hold the TAB key (subject to change - may move somewhere like to F2) in a multiplayer session you'll get a list of online players.
