There are some players without tier that should be in tier 2, there are players in tier 2 that shouldn't be there.

I know for a fact that the other OP team is intentionally not abusing current tier system, but they or some other team could.

I left "eae em".

[Help with elevation code]

Well, for now I am using low elevation changes, unfortunately. It seems anything below 0 elevation it painted as water and anything above a certain elevation can't be painted as water. Is there any reason for this?

@Feldfeld we need u on an op team to compete with vali and borg teams

@SaidRdz Rauls Ricsand this is your chance to make spanish team op, maybe with camelius

[Help with elevation code]

So, since it seems not possible to make elevated lake, I brought the land elevation down. If that happens though, everywhere gets flooded even if no tWater was placed.

Any ideas if what I want to do is feasible?

Lul, does 0ad not allow water to be painted above a certain elevation? The original slopes map has sidelakes I wanted to recreate:

Yeah, sigmoidal might look better, or include noise.

 

But im mostly interested in functionality for now

[Help with elevation code]

Awesome! Unfortunately it seems the SmoothElevationPainter tries to return elevation to base creating a kind of a hill instead of a ramp, this was my attempt using it:

 

Spoiler

const heightTop = 20;
const lowlandsWidth = fractionToTiles(0.4);
const rampWidth = fractionToTiles(0.1);
const elevationPainter = new ElevationPainter(heightTop);
const rampPainters = [
  new TerrainPainter(tCliff),
  new SmoothElevationPainter(ELEVATION_SET, heightTop, 20),
  new TileClassPainter(clRamp)
];

createArea(
  new RectPlacer(new Vector2D(halfMapSize + lowlandsWidth / 2 + rampWidth, mapSize), new Vector2D(mapSize, 0)),
  elevationPainter);

createArea(
  new RectPlacer(new Vector2D(0, mapSize), new Vector2D(halfMapSize - lowlandsWidth / 2 - rampWidth, 0)),
  elevationPainter);

createArea(
  new RectPlacer(new Vector2D(halfMapSize + lowlandsWidth / 2, mapSize), new Vector2D(halfMapSize + lowlandsWidth / 2 + rampWidth, 0)),
  rampPainters
);

 

With createPassage I was able to obtain the desired result:

const heightTop = 20;
const lowlandsWidth = fractionToTiles(0.4);
const rampWidth = fractionToTiles(0.1);
const elevationPainter = new ElevationPainter(heightTop);
const rampPainters = [
  new TerrainPainter(tCliff),
  new SmoothElevationPainter(ELEVATION_SET, heightTop, 20),
  new TileClassPainter(clRamp)
];

createArea(
  new RectPlacer(new Vector2D(halfMapSize + lowlandsWidth / 2 + rampWidth, mapSize), new Vector2D(mapSize, 0)),
  elevationPainter);

createArea(
  new RectPlacer(new Vector2D(0, mapSize), new Vector2D(halfMapSize - lowlandsWidth / 2 - rampWidth, 0)),
  elevationPainter);

createPassage({
  "start": new Vector2D(halfMapSize + lowlandsWidth / 2, halfMapSize),
  "end": new Vector2D(halfMapSize + rampWidth + lowlandsWidth / 2, halfMapSize),
  "startWidth": mapSize,
  "endWidth": mapSize,
  "smoothWidth": 2,
  "tileClass": clRamp,
  "terrain": tHill,
  "edgeTerrain": tCliff
});

createPassage({
  "start": new Vector2D(halfMapSize - lowlandsWidth / 2, halfMapSize),
  "end": new Vector2D(halfMapSize - rampWidth - lowlandsWidth / 2, halfMapSize),
  "startWidth": mapSize,
  "endWidth": mapSize,
  "smoothWidth": 2,
  "tileClass": clRamp,
  "terrain": tHill,
  "edgeTerrain": tCliff
});

Cantabrian Highlands has a ramp, it seems `createPassage` can be used for making them. https://github.com/0ad/0ad/blob/master/binaries/data/mods/public/maps/random/cantabrian_highlands.js#L80-L90

I think balaland (fixed) might be good to include in map pool.

I also made adjustments to wrench and cross (both large for 4v4). If wrench included i recommend fixed positions or staggered (12121212) as it can get a bit turtly on 11112222.

If we have a large enough map pool we can also include mechanic to ban 1 map for each team.

[Help with elevation code]

Hello folks,

I want to recreate the slopes map from hidden cup on 0ad:

I am stuck on making the elevation to sides, which should be pretty simple though, I wondered if someone knows of any map that has a similar feature?

[Sign Up Thread 0 AD Team League]

Its simple: 1t1 1t2, 2t2-2t3

The only possible combinations for whomever wants to play competitively

[Player placements fixed/staggered]

I made a version for whomever is interested in playing it. It contains "Balanced Mainland (fixed)" and "Wrench (fixed)" maps

balanced-maps.pyromod

[Player placements fixed/staggered]

Hello folks,

As I am working on balanced-maps and after one playtesting of wrench in which it was a bit turtly I decided experimenting with staggered positions, i.e. instead of grouping players by 11112222, grouping them by 121212.

It also occurred to me that this could be solved by fixed positioning, e.g. the position you specify on game setup is the one applied on tg, so if players are 12345678 they will be placed exactly like 12345678.

I would implement that as a separate map (e.g. Balaland (fixed)) since a23 does not have support for custom map flags (might implement for a24).

What do you think on this, would you like it?

Any issues with 5-tier point system? I think it provides a decent solution

[Intrest in team tournament ?]

I'm in!

Applications open to join my team: "Embrace Nubness"

I think tiers might be applicable y, my suggestion:

Tier 1: Feld, Vali, Borg
Tier 2: Stock, Phyzic, chrstgtr, Rauls, fpre, .. (others?)
Tier 3: Boudica, faction02, Edwarf, Christmas, Saidrdz, etc..
Tier 4: Dizaka, andy_beauty, xtreme22, etc...
Tier 5: Woodpecker, ross_bolobon, etc...
And so on...

Tier 1: 5 points, Tier 2: 3 points, Tier 3: 2 points, Tier 4: 1 point, Tier 5: 0 points?

Each team can only have max 10 points. So for example you could have Feld and Vali same team but then have two players from tier 5. Tier determination might be controversial though... (above is just an idea, don't be offended folks)

Interesting team combinations:

1: Boudica, faction02, Stock, Phyzic
2: Feld, Saidrdz, andy_beauty, Dizaka
3: fpre, Edwarf, chrstgtr, Christmas

Seems balanced to me (or maybe i'm nub balancer XD)

Nice, thanks for the info! If there's anything missing on that patch I can try sending a request to update to the maintainer.
