asmartgoat Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) I started an Aussie map way back in the Age of Mythology days... then abandoned it... Could never find a good Australia map for AOM so I made my own, i'll find it and post it. My 0AD map is slightly disproportionate, I want Tassie to be more prominent and important not a tiny dot that does nothing so i made it 150% of normal size and I brought NZ slightly closer. Other than that it is pretty much accurate. I'll post a screenie tommorow. Edited July 21, 2011 by asmartgoat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmartgoat Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Map is delayed due to preformance issues. I'll still post screenshots later, but It ONLY works good in multiplayer not VS bots. (Laggs pretty bad as soon as the Player encounters AI. [NB: Could that be because of the islands?]) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I am just wondering, but would it be possible for anyone to make an earth map when Territories are workable? You could divide the territories similarly to Risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Laggs pretty bad as soon as the Player encounters AI. [NB: Could that be because of the islands?])It is possible that you have some fish too close to the AI's shore and they are sending units to attempt to gather the fish, which causes lag (cuz they just sit there idling at the shoreline looping their pathfinding commands over and over).

Ykkrosh Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 they just sit there idling at the shoreline looping their pathfinding commands over and overWhat should they do instead, when they can't reach their assigned target? (bearing in mind that they might be blocked by e.g. a gate or another unit, and could get unblocked in the near future; or their target might be moving and come within range in the near future; so maybe immediately giving up would not be ideal). (I think the pathfinding responsiveness changes in the latest release made this problem much worse, because the units loop their pathfinding requests at least once (maybe more?) per turn, whereas they used to be much slower; we should at least add some rate-limiting delay when they fail to find a path, if they're going to retry it again.)

Mythos_Ruler Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hmm, I am not sure what the ideal solution would be, but for the meantime I think a check that the fish are in water less than X depth and within Y distance from shore would be adequate?

Not that fishing from the shore is a bad idea/unhistorical afaik, but at least for now that should get rid of at least that part of the problem. If they can't gather the fish I mean.

Ykkrosh Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I believe the same underlying issue applies to land units attacking ships, or attacking units on another island, so changes to fish won't solve the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes fishing boats more important, and lets the player use land units specifically for land-related tasks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmartgoat Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) I'll remove all fish from my map and then run it again. I'm bogged down with work at the moment, I'll upload the map (which is not finished) tommorow.As for the question about whole world maps. The if a map is too large (I dont remember the figures) the pathfinder will complain of overflow errors, and the speed of gameplay will be significantly reduced exponentially when map size is increased.Maybe the pathfinder will be fixed when it is reimplemented.

Ykkrosh Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 As for the question about whole world maps. The if a map is too large (I dont remember the figures) the pathfinder will complain of overflow errorsIn theory the pathfinder limit should be 724x724 tiles. I suppose it'd be nice if the game engine worked better for extremely large maps, but not if that has any harmful effect (on performance or complexity etc) for sensible-sized maps, so there will probably always be some overflow-dependent limits.
