  • Okay, I've looked at some of the formulars people have made in python for dungeon generation, I have no idea what I'm looking at most of the time, besides some weird rules about wall and tile destroy commands on overlaps and stuff, you'dthink this kind of stuff would be easier, I mean, just make the base tiles solid, and then make rooms that are generated among those tiles non-solid, allowing the player to pass through.

  • Is there any hope of a tutorial eventually? I wonder I I could twist the system to the DunGen system...

  • I'm beginning to learn how to use python, it's not that hard at all, just lots of typing. How would I go about making a plug in that does what I want it to?

  • Try Construct 3

  • Cool dungeon, is that randomly generated? And is it also partially 3-D with the walls?

  • Sorry about my earlier posts, thanks for the PM

  • Ok, whatabout only showing rooms once the player has entered, and monster generation?

    PS.

    I should probably learn more about this program before I keep asking a load of questions.

  • Is there a way to use this plugin to create a dungeon that uses these rules?

  • If I can't find a solution that does look pretty close, it even has doors.

    So you said most of what I wanted to do would be easy, is there a way to link that random die formula to the creation of a room that is drawn randomly?

    Also, can I implement a system of progressive monster generation, rooms 1-9 the character explores are tier 1 monsters, 10-15 are tier 2 etc., and room 30 is a boss room that has it's number of doors and tile space multiplied by eleven to make the room much bigger. Oh yeah, and I imagine it is simple to add locks to doors and make the exit locked unless you use a key the boss drops upon death.

  • Is it possible to use that generator to recreate the DunGen system, without corridors connecting rooms, and rooms that aren't just rectangular?

    The goal is for it to look something like this:

  • I just realized that people have actually suggested solutions to your problem, but apparently if it's saved in a text file and it's possible to cheat, and you don't know how to do it, it's not a usable solution because all the sad people would cheat. Ask and ye shall recieve, so that rules out the 'I can't do it' excuse. And people can cheat in almost any game, but that defeats the purpose of the game, so what's the worry?

    If your gonna tell me everything I say is stupid then I'm going to just ignore this topic and the half-empty glass that made it.

  • i am really growing tired of this. is this your imput? THIS is your contribution...? being cynical and arogant? what the hell is this? 4chan?

    I was not being cynical I was simply saying that you are taking this too seriously. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, it's just a game

    But seriously, saying that a thread about asking how to make save files as your "last hope" for expanding your limitations may be true, but is very melodramatic. It's like me saying 'I haven't got construct yet, tommorrow is my last hope to get it, if I can't get it then, all hope is lost, and my life will be over '

    Just simply ask what you want to know, and people will answer, and you won't have to have all this extra crying and expecting hugs and stuff. I put in what input I could, while it was not technical, it was still what I knew, and it was logical. And also, think before you post about how people will react, for the first rule of the internet is: No one cares on the internet.

  • Why are you acting like someone has died, you could have just asked people 'how do I make a save game' instead of this melodramatic 'all hope is lost' talk.

  • Hi

    I want to know whether it would be possible to recreate this game using construct. It is a print and play dungeon crawler game that randomly creates dungeons for you to explore, using a system the creator calls the 'DunGen' system. I have as yet to try Construct out, but I would just like to know whether it is possible.

    The system uses a very simple ask-and-roll technique, and begins every time you enter a door (you can only see the rooms you have explored), and goes something like this:

    Room size (using a 6-sided die) (in grid squares) (layout can be whatever)

    1-2 = 3

    3-4 = 4

    5 = 5

    6 = 6

    Number of doors

    1 = 1

    2-5 = 2

    6 = 3

    Door Direction (4-sided die)(normally you just put the doors wherever but if you cannot decide this is used, not sure whether this will be needed when implementing the system in construct)

    1 = N

    2 = S

    3 = E

    4 = W

    Door lockedness (rolled only when there is more than one door on every door after the first one to be generated) (locked doors need to be bashed or picked, and opening a locked door takes one turn and suceeds on a 5-6)

    1-4 = Un

    5-6 = L

    Number of monsters (rolled on an eight sides die)

    1 = 0

    2-3 = 1

    4-5 = 2

    6-7 = 3

    8 = 4

    It also has a couple more charts for Treasure chests, and Treasure contents for when you open them (they're locked), and type of monster is based on a progressive system of how many rooms you have explored.So, would it be possible to implement this system into construct without using python, or would there have to be coding involved? I believe it could also be possible to create the entire dungeon beforehand, and only reveal the rooms as the player enters them.

    And whatabout the system of attacking, which is a six sided die plus whatever attribute of your character (strength, dexterity and wisdom, which also affects player stats which are HP, speed and action points) the weapon used corresponds to, plus the weapon's hit bonus. If that sum overcomes the opponent's armor rating, it does permanent HP damage based on the weapons damage rating (if you didn't understand that bit just ignore or tell me that I can or can't do formulas for attacking). Whatabout items like potions that directly affect gameplay (such as invisibility, base stat increases or health and Action point restoration), or a HUD with the player's inventory ?

    That came out a bit more complicated than I wanted, I pretty much just explained the whole game

    Anyway, so the main thing is: can the DunGen system be done?
