Dungeon Architect

[Youdaman]

Thank you Ali! Definitely buying this as soon as you put it up

[mindfane]

I might not use this, but I will still buy it just to look at the source code. Well done Ali!

@Ali,

Does the generated geometry/mesh work with Navmesh? I do not see a video with AI controlled pawns in it, that is why I ask.

[Ali Akbar]

Thanks everyone!

@n00854180t I'll submit by tomorrow to Epic.

@mindfane Good question. It works well with dynamic navmesh generation.

Heres a video where the level is built at runtime and bots are spawned randomly on valid positions on the map

A new level is generated when I play the second time in the video

You need to set a engine parameter to notify dynamic nav mesh rebuild, if you are generating the level in runtime, like in the video above

Navigate to Edit > Project Settings > Navigation Mesh > Runtime > Runtime Generation > Dynamic


I'll update the docs with this info

Would it be possible to layout a circular design? By this I mean if I have a space station that is circular would I be able to create passages around the edge and then a smaller circle and so on. Or would I need to create a grid system? Thanks

[Ali Akbar]

@demonseedgfx It works on a grid based system for now

[demonseedgfx]

Ok I can make that work for now. Thanks for the quick response.

Got it working in mac. The Xcode clang compiler is less forgiving than visual studio. Resolved all warnings and errors

[Mr_SquarePeg]

That is awesome!

Even though I do not use a Mac.

[AnadinX]

Super Awesome for me! (mac user) can't wait!, we are really looking forward to this, got a game in progress that is going to benefit a lot from it.

[Fusion_Pizza]

Man I am so excited for this, gonna accelerate my project for sure!

Another example of a procedural level with bots, powerups and spawn points scattered around the map

Fixed a lighting bug on runtime generated levels where the lights were not picking up the user defined attributes. Turns out, I had to call ReregisterAllComponents() on the light actor after updating the LightComponent attributes at runtime

Very Nice promo video!

Any word on price?

[DatapawWolf]

As HeadClot said, I am very interested in a price point for your plugin.

@rozenbor In multiplayer, the server decides and replicates the dungeon configuration structure (seed etc) to all the clients so the clients also generate the exact same layout. I haven't tested this yet but it should be possible. I'll be submitting soon

That is great! I am interested in automatic generation of dungeons for an ORPG game, and this seems like it could be the perfect solution.

Submitted to Epic for initial review

@HeadClot @DatapawWolf It will be sold for $99
