Not make it a requirement for every map script to use those distinctions, but just have the ability available. So that we could have pine forests in the mountains and oak forests in the midlands, and palm forests in the lowlands. Things like that. And then put wolves and bears in the highlands and midlands, with lions in the lowlands. Goats in the highlands, camels in the lowlands. I'm sure you get it. Maybe too complicated. Doesn't sound too complicated. There's already a few functions that determine the height at a specific point, or to set constraints (such as height). It would add little more code, but I don't see it as being complicated. @maroderdoes that sound about right to you?

Would most maps only use these three terrains? Do we want to have more abstraction levels and how do we handle them? How do we want / how do we handle the inheritance of data between different biomes that share most of their code ect... So yes it sounds straight forward we just need to think about and code all these details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think lowlands/midlands/highlands is more than enough abstraction levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted November 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Working on a new Savanna biome. Will have Wet season and Dry season like the other one. Improving the assets too, such as stones and rocks. Spoiler 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think lowlands/midlands/highlands is more than enough abstraction levels. I agree that three levels should be perfectly adequate. Seems like once the other details are worked out, this should be implemented on 2 or 3 maps before the next release, then changed as the feedback comes pouring in or bugs are discovered. Gotta figure out the heights yet for each of those levels though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even then the framework should allow for an easy expansion/ addition of more data if a map needs it, so I think the best route would be to make the biome a class and give it methods to allow updating / mix n match between biomes. Just need to find the time to do it ... On 11/11/2022 at 3:26 AM, andy5995 said: Gotta figure out the heights yet for each of those levels though. I would not define heights within the biomes as it is extremely different between all the maps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You reminded me of the mudflats in Ukraine. That's one of the new things I learned lately. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspu@#$%a Edited January 25 by Lion.Kanzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
