vivid's DE maps

[vividlyplain]

Update: added new map Arena and updated OP. Updated 2v2v2v2 spawns on majority of maps for consistency.

Future considerations: Mod for sharing maps.

[iNcog]

Make an aoe3 arena please

Done. There are 5 spawns: yellow river, dekkan, nwt, new england, and andes. Trees, terrain, outlaws, and natives change for each.

scary FI map. love it

I'm impressed too. I'd not managed to get one anywhere close to that clean when I was making a forest map years ago

Thanks.

But honestly it just happened . . . I was surprised myself.

here is the tree code

Code: Select all

	// ____________________ Trees ____________________

	for (j=0; < (10+5*PlayerNum)) {   

		int Trees1ID=rmCreateObjectDef("trees"+j);

		if (whichMap == 1)

			rmAddObjectDefItem(Trees1ID, "ypTreeDeccan", rmRandInt(50,50), rmRandFloat(10,10));

		else if (whichMap == 2)

			rmAddObjectDefItem(Trees1ID, "TreeNorthwestTerritory", rmRandInt(50,50), rmRandFloat(10,10));

		else if (whichMap == 3)

			rmAddObjectDefItem(Trees1ID, "ypTreeYellowRiver", rmRandInt(50,50), rmRandFloat(10,10));

		else if (whichMap == 4)

			rmAddObjectDefItem(Trees1ID, "TreeNewEngland", rmRandInt(50,50), rmRandFloat(10,10));

		else

			rmAddObjectDefItem(Trees1ID, "TreeAndes", rmRandInt(50,50), rmRandFloat(10,10));

		rmAddObjectDefToClass(Trees1ID, rmClassID("Forest")); 

		rmSetObjectDefMinDistance(Trees1ID, rmXFractionToMeters(0.32));

		rmSetObjectDefMaxDistance(Trees1ID, rmXFractionToMeters(0.50));

		rmAddObjectDefConstraint(Trees1ID, avoidTownCenter);	

		rmAddObjectDefConstraint(Trees1ID, avoidIslandMin);	

		rmAddObjectDefConstraint(Trees1ID, avoidRegicideMin);	

		rmPlaceObjectDefAtLoc(Trees1ID, 0, 0.5, 0.5, 10+5*PlayerNum);

		}

Hello @vividlyplain and all others in the forum.

I was looking for a custom map called "Lost" we had for Legacy and couldn't find it. I've seen you created the map "Nomade" for DE, which is a bit similar to Lost in some regards (except the 3 vils, the boat and the 700 starting wood). So i was wondering if it was possible for you to recreate this custom map or if theres any other option make this playable again. I have no idea how much work it is, but i guess starting from Nomade its mainly adding the treasures.

Also im new to the forums and i hope i posted this request in the right spot.

Welcome to ESOC! This is another map I’ve long thought about. My current idea was to try to merge a few of my maps into one and have it randomly select a map for lost. I want to do the same for Nomad as well.

I made my own lost using my nomad map as a base. It's not worth the effort to make multiple spawns that match my own map and I found Lost 5.02 and it seems like it was quite popular and a fun map so I took some time to port it over for DE and rejig some stuff. I added onto the great work by @GruntGG and @Rikikipu .

some Lost 6.00 minimaps

[vividlyplain]

Finally got around to making my map mod and updated OP. Just subscribe and enable and my maps will appear in your custom maps dropdown menu.

My Map Mod

thanks in advance for the like Rohbrot

[n0el]

played some games on arena. some thoughts (if you care)...

Map is too small and the starting base is too small and low resource. i think 2 hunts minimum and 2 mines, plus a cutout behind in the forest with another mine and hunt

also for some reason i kept getting yellow river spawn, not sure if thats a bug or just insane RNG god shit

Ofc feedback is always welcome!

I’m not surprised that it’s too small. I wasn’t sure what to do about the in base res tbh. Planning an update in the next few days anyway and I’ll get this map updated.

[animusvox]

@vividlyplain I thank you so much for doing this. I cant wait to play Lost with my friends and online.

Right on! You can all play if you’ve got my map mod activated. Leave any feedback you have here. If there’s a spawn that isn’t working or whatever you notice just post it here.

[vividlyplain]

I've updated my map mod. I've added some maps by others (see below), updated arena as per feedback from @n0el, and added @Aizamk's spectator UI to all of my maps (ready if you want them @iNcog).

Check out my mod here or in game.

Settler Massacre

On this map you start with just a TC and some vills. Not even an explorer. I'm not sure who made this map in the past but I have included it as a request from a few others.

RH Chesapeake

Made by Ragnarok_Hero. This is the bank map that some people may have heard about or played on in a TSREV tourney.
1v1
base
team
ffa

RH Polynesia

Made by Ragnarok_Hero. This is an insane water map where oyu are forced to migrate and island hop. You start on a tiny island and begin with a caravel.

[Rohbrot]

Polynesia looks insane, the ffa spawn looks better than the others, though.
What are the nat's on this map?

[I_HaRRiiSoN_I]

thing is with the polynesia FFA spawn is that everyone is incentivised to go backwards instead of forwards. maybe if players spawned on the outer side and moved in like they would do on ceylon.

zen and jesuit (4 zen and 2 jesuit iirc)

can't say i've watched this 2 hour video but it has been played on before on legacy

But so the player's are near to each other and building outpost's near coast is even more viable as it would have been in an outer side. I liked this more, dunno.

[I_HaRRiiSoN_I]

ive played polynesia on a jailed stream, 9 out of 10 would not play again

.... ok it was fun if you care about winning and balance, wouldnt recommend FFA on this though haha

That’s fine. I did say it was a crazy map lol. I forgot jailed did a ffa on it, I thought just team games.

Obviously from the video some people enjoyed the map so to each their own.

@vividlyplain Hey man, your Settler Massacre is really nice. We had so much fun and play it every now and then. One thing we noticed is, that theres some bad balancing (some civs start with enough resource for mill others must wait like a minute). if the game started with 1 shipment for everyone that would balance it i think. also the original version of SM had this.

It’s essentially the same map as the original. I think I only changed the lighting. I can look into a starting shipment for my next update.

[vividlyplain]

January 18, 2021: added Nechako River and St Helens, Lost 6.01 update - smaller and better treasure spawns, some QoL improvements like spawn consistency and lighting, and added NR20 versions of Fraser River and Black Rock Desert where you cannot cross half map until the treaty expires (using code by pftq and Furby). Updated OP.

Nechako River

A map originally designed by @dansil92 and updated based on recommendations from @Cometk. Fight for control of the north tp line and gold mines, but you must defend the south as the enemy team is close! Each player also starts with a market and either a Cree cdb or a native Healer, depending on the natives that spawn.

RH St Helens

Fight at the foot of Mt. St. Helen's. This map features a free, instantly training hot air balloon from your TC to start the game.

ffa
volcano

[vividlyplain]

FYI some of these maps will be used for our RoyaL Clan 3v3 tourney so you might want to give some a try. Don't worry, none of the meme maps will be in the tourney map pool.

I'm open to feedback and can make changes to maps if you have some ideas for improvement before the tourney begins, just let me know here or on discord.
