@ World Composition is not supported. I played around with the engine’s world composition framework while experimenting with the snap builder so it shouldn’t be too difficult to add. I understand it is required for VR and FPS games. I’ll add it in the future

Hello I want to start an Action Adventure Game, and I really like what I see in your videos. DA looks great!!!

But it will be a First-Person-View and should be VR capable.
What’s the reason why without World Composition a game is not Fist-Person and VR capable?

…and besides:
Do you think your Plugin is oversized for an SiFi-Adventure-Game with a smaller Map?
I like the idea of fast stretching some hallways and changing platform altitudes.

I hope also with using DA for raw level-design I can later place puzzles, make animation scenes, place some detailed props with interactions, and so on … in the DA generated level, right?

best regards

You can pre-make levels or stream dungeons. there are number of ways to use DA in multiplayer. dont bother with world composition

@ - when will floor plan be DONE and more usefull? I mean its cool youre adding a new dungeon type like in the ziggurat but how about finishing the ones we already have?

[Run2300]

why…

[AngeIV]

@Run2300;750737

why…

Because you cast a dungeon to dungeon CONFIG. get dungeon1 config then cast?

yes，，What is the problem with the blueprint?

yes，，What is the problem with the blueprint?

told you… grid dugeon config doesnt inherit from dungeon. it inherits from dungeon config.

It’s because a Dungeon is not a dungeon config, but it *HAS *one.

You need to Get the dungeon config from your Dungeon, change its seed, then call Build Dungeon on the Dungeon itself.

Is there a way for those of us who purchased via Marketplace to download from your site? Would love to update my project to 4.17

Hi,

I noticed that creating mesh nodes with a mobility of “Movable” doesn’t work. They are created with a mobility of “Static” instead, both when spawning dynamically during runtime and in the editor.
A mobility of “Stationary” does work as expected.

Would be great if you could take a look at this, I’m trying to spawn a dungeon on top of not-completely-flat dynamic terrain and need to change the location of objects depending on the terrain height at that location.

I’m using version 2.6.3 with UE 4.16.3.

Hey @ (and anyone who has been playing with this)
Can this pack be used to create outdoor map/ landscape stuff… Nothing fancy but I reckon I could use this to make multiple map & handle plants/grass placement etc.
I had a look at the Guide but not sure if there is a DA builder for the above purpose.

Thanks

I picked this up and played briefly with it before the 4.17 engine update. If we’re building dynamically on mobile, I suppose using no lighting (i.e. emissive materials) and adding cull volumes dynamically is the best way to go? Or can the static lighting be pre-generated somehow?

Greetings ,
Thanks for such an plugin , has helped out a lot in development.

Lately have been leaning more and more toward using the Snap Builder as the flexibility to be off grid and use custom pieces is super useful .
I know it is still experimental at this time however wanted to give some suggestions for when you have time to refine.
Currently in UE4.16 DungeonArchitect 2.6.3

Overall------------------------------------

1. Modules are randomly rotated 180 on Z axis , please allow for modules or the builder to turn this off ( for specific isometric modules we dont want them rotated )
2. Add probability variable to modules ( on the builder )
3. Include something similar to the Cluster Theme Selector volume for Snap to snap to a different specified set of modules ( and option to place a specific transition module at the intersection point ) . Or if the volume is impractical because the generated dungeon might not overlap being able to have a probability variable to switch to different set of modules would also be so if had a A set of modules and a B set the output would be something like AAAAA<AtoB>BBBB<BtoA>AA
4. Custom Collision option for Snap Check ( when only the path collision matters , and is ok if exterior \ background objects collide )

Connections and Doors -----------------------------------

1. Connections with Door Class , the Door BPs appear to zero out in world space ( however connections are in correct location ) .
2. Doors on Connections , cant set the Connection Door class to None after having assigned it (crashes )
3. Doors on Connections also can randomly make the map unsaveable ( graph linked to external private object Unknown )

I agree with Overall points 2 and 3 . I dont purchased this plugin yet cause im not sure if can be usefull for me … i will continue investigate your plugin to know it.

I second this option. Will gladly provide receipt, bank statement or any other method to prove my purchase.

Hey! I downloaded the 4.17 version of the plugin and I got this error

Any clue why I got this error? I’m using 4.17.1, and I copy pasted to the plugin folder the 4_17 version of the pluing

Hello - I am working with the Runtime Level Builder in the Starter Kit. I want to allow saving and then loading of the levels generated with the runtime level editor. I tried saving and restoring the values from the DungeonConfig to a SaveGame object, but the only variables visible to me are Instanced, Build Time, and Seed. This does not restore the user built level when reload them from my SaveGame. What am I missing?

[illYay]

Wow, I built my own system like this but yours is way more polished and feature filled! I’m sold.

Quick question, can I place slots pretty easily in the snap room areas to spawn additional things? Like enemy spawns, more random rooms within rooms, etc? And all at runtime?

[thelazylion]

First off I’d like to say this builder is extremely professional and well made. Great work.
I have some inquires about the snap map builder however though, in 2.7.0…
I saw this issue was posted before, but I wasn’t able to find a solution to this.

Basically with the snap map builder, hooking together random modules, it doesn’t seem to take account that doors shouldn’t be facing nothing, as in empty space. Even though we have the end/branch end slots filled in with ending modules, it still picks some modules with extra doors.

Any idea as to how to solve this and have the algorithm just pick modules with the right amount of connected doors it needs? or is there a similar work around.

Thanks in advanced…
