Dear,

The MaxAllowStairHeight, when set to zero, still allows for height variations:

No really a problem, as setting the probability to zero will get flat dungeons anyway, but as your doc says a zero MaxAllowStairHeight will produce flat dungeon, it might be a small bug that you are not aware of.

Also, i did some tests with very large values like 10 and above and i didn’t notice much differences above 5 or 6.

Is that normal ? Is MaxAllowStairHeight capped to a value ? Or is it just non uniform distribution that make values as rare as they are large ?

I have exposed this parameter to players in my UI and would like to know what values i can allow/forbid. Currently i clamp between 0 and 10, but while 1, 2, 3 work as expected, 0 doesn’t flatten and 10 doesn’t produce crazy cliffed dungeons^^

Thanks a lot !
Cheers

@uced I’ll fix this in the next update

Hi,

Thanks for your plugging. I love it.

I love the Paint Mode and I’ve followed the instructions for “Manual Painting”. But I still get Auto generated content linking the Rooms. I don’t get auto generated content if I use only corridors. Can I have a pure Manual Painting with absolutely no auto generated Content?

Thanks for continuing to work on the snap builder. I thank a lot of people are interested in it. I would also like to see the Soul Forge Theme, it looks great. The content pack is still on 2.6 when can we get an update?

@GameMaster79 I’ve updated it to 2.8 and added the Soul Forge demo

Dear,

I just started out with Dungeon Architect. I am really massively impressed

On YouTube, I found the “Dungeon Architect: City Builder [UE4]” Video.

Would it be possible, to receive the shown Demo?
I did read, that You did modify the road-files, to make them work with Dungeon Architect.
What did You exactly do to them?
I had already purchased the “Industrial Area Hangar” Pack in the Past at Unreal Marketplace.

Please, do let me know.

Best regards,
Harald

Thanks Harald. Last I checked, the road meshes were not modular (didn’t have a T and X junctions). The project is in my other computer, I’ll have a look.

[USER=“28980”][/USER] , would this be an appropriate tool for making many modular buildings with interiors on one large map?

Hello, my name is michael and i am trying to contact you for work reasons. Will be glad if you could contact me or check your email and google hang outs. Thanks. michael@xmod.co

@zipl0c It can create a building with multiple floors. However you’ll want to create your buildings (dungeons) in different streaming levels if you plan on having it in a large city. It doesn’t support building LODs for now

An ideal situation would be to have the outer building meshes created procedurally along a city layout and build the floors as they are needed (when the player comes close to it). The floorplan builder doesn’t handle this

4.19 support is live

[Ministelis]

Thanks!!

Unfortunately it is not installing to the engine, when I select 4.19 and click install, nothing happens.

@Ministelis Try restarting the Epic Launcher (logout and login again). If it doesn’t work, remove the plugin from 4.19 engine (click the “Installed plugins” link below the engine version and click Remove). Then re-install it

Very early progress of the DungeonFlow editor

I have the UI done where you can define high level flow. There will be many nodes in the design graph like Cluster node to create a group of rooms, Platform nodes to create a single room etc and some ability to theme override each of them selectively

The Result Graph shows the 2D view of a random dungeon that respects the specified constraints in the Design graph. I haven’t worked on the algorithm yet. I’ll have more in the coming days

Can I ask what happened to this feature? It looks great! Also, why was the paper2d work not implemented. Both of these would be very handy with what I’m working on.

@GruntosUK I’ll get to that in the future

[Ali_Akbar]

Fixed a bug that was causing DA to pick volumes from all open worlds, rather than the existing world the Dungeon actor belongs to. This was causing the theme editor’s viewport to pick up theme override volumes that were placed in the level editor’s scene

[Ali_Akbar]

Added a flag in the theme override volume that lets you fall back to the base theme if you have not defined any meshes under a certain marker

This is useful if you want to selectively override certain aspects of the base theme, without re-implementing the other details in the overridden themes

[USER=“75121”]Flaccid Laser[/USER] try setting the NumCells to 0 in the configuration

Thanks [USER=“28980”][/USER] for your response, sorry for the late reply.

I have already tried that. I set NumCells to 0, but sadly, it creates corridors to bind the rooms. I’d like to be able to create “Isolated” rooms with the Paint Mode.

I have attached a videothat shows what I mean: https://youtu.be/KXLe2YKHbtA

Please, let me know if you need further information.

Thanks in advance.

Hi. I’m new and a have a question, how do i do a selection BP to select just the middle of the room?

[anonymous_user_a90fc930]

Hi,
Does the plugin allow you to keep the positions of the rooms fixed and only change the corridors?
Thanks

Hi,

Dungeon Architect fails to compile on PS4 with 4.19. You just need to add:

#include "Engine/World.h"

to SceneProviderCommand.h because the AddActor function template uses FActorSpawnParameters.

Hello. wondering if You can make a tutorial on using city builder with larger buildings and putting together city scenes vs residential. would love to do this in Dungeon Architect vs level streaming. You sent me a message in October saying You were going to put one up for me. Still waiting patiently. Thanks for the plugin and excellent work! Would love to have Dungeon levels streaming vs the ones I’m building. Such a brilliant plugin cant wait to really use it like I want.

something like this? https://.youtube.com/watch?v=ElsH8E5-9DM
each building varies by floors and could ahve diferent interior and materials, however i put this in 1h tops.
