Are there any plans to eventually support level streaming of some sort? For large levels like the building, that would considerably improve the memory footprint.

@Jmeletou2014 Thanks! That’s . I’ve added your tutorials and link to you channel in the Video Tutorials page in the Community Tutorials section

@HInoue I’ll look into this

Cool, thank you.

At the moment I am playing around with “plastering” one dungeon on top of the other and using teleports… not working as intended yet though

Mr_SquarePeg · November 10, 2015, 12:10am

I really need to pick this up.

Edit: Any news on City Architect BTW?

Just curious

Warcabbit · November 10, 2015, 4:51am

Pick it up. It’s fantastic.

I have come across something that seems a bit odd. If I generate the “Ground” with variable height and then add “Walls”, in places where higher “Ground” meets “rooms”, the wall of that room sits on the edge of higher “Ground”. How do I change such behaviour?

@Jmeletou2014 Nice work! I like the way you use plants with the adjacent markers. Very creative. I’ve updated the Video Tutorials page

@Nixlim, The wall is pushed up to align with the highest elevated floor attached to it. Otherwise, the player can hop into the room from an elevated height (especially if height is >= 2). There’s no way of disabling it for now

@HeadClot For City Architect, I worked on redesigning the data structure with future changes in mind. I’ll post more info on it soon. Thanks for your interest

Paper2D Support

Hey guys, a quick update, I’m working on supporting Paper2D and it’s almost done. I have to add a few more features and some polishing

I’ve designed it such that the core DungeonArchitect module does not depend on Paper2D. If it did, then you would be forced to include Paper2D with your shipped product even if you don’t use it.

Instead, I have another module (within the same plugin) called DungeonArchitect2D that links to Paper2D. It also extends the core module (DungeonArchitect) by adding features (sprite nodes, sprite scene builder etc). If you don’t use 2D you can safely exclude Paper2D and DungeonArchitect2D out

All of the tooling works seamlessly (paint tool, platform volumes, theme override volume etc)

Mr_SquarePeg · November 10, 2015, 10:27pm

Paper2d ftw!

Woop!

Nixlim · November 11, 2015, 6:23am

, thank you very much for clarifying this.

The Theme editor’s preview window can now show any type of content generated by the scene builder without knowing the implementation details. In this example it shows sprites generated by the DungeonArchitect2D module

Also added some more viewport tools in the toolbar (for changing projection and shading)

Ok, now it’s the time I switch to absolute fan mode :

This is simply amazing. Dungeon Architect is really cutting down my dev cost, in my current prototype phase ! I didn’t expect to find such a useful tool to test gameplay mechanics in UE4 and to showoff progress. The graph-based solution as you implemented is one of the most robust approach I’ve seen for years in this field. The integration in UE4 is brillant, and this plugins fits perfectly in the UE4 ecosystem, even pushing to buy modular asset packs. Moreover it installs flowlessly, give very clever results, is extendible, and is really supportiv whenever needed. 4.10 upgrade is released almost on the same day as the engine : Usually I wait for 2 or 3 minor releases before switching, but as Dungeon Architect upgraded, I jumped off right now.
And now, paper2D support !!! I did not often feel such a satisfaction about my spent money.

@, I feel like your are beginning to gather a community in the community around your concept.
You deserve a dev grant.

Regards,

A WIP multi-player demo that shows how the server can choose a dungeon config and replicate the config structure to all the clients, so all players build the exact same dungeon in the client side

watch?v=X6tl9xUrNQg

Has a server browser and multi-player works. Some issues needs to be resolved with PIE

@FreemanCIT, Thank you
