Custom Maps / [Campaign] Rogue-like Dungeon Generator v1.1

« on: August 31, 2013, 03:05:27 AM »

I thought Hammerwatch would be great as a rogue-like game with randomly generated levels.  So I made a random campaign generator, in Java!



Features:

• Fully random dungeons, with shops, doors/keys, power-ups, and lots of monsters.
• Many parameters are configurable using the included parameters.txt file, such as number of levels, level sizes, monster difficulty, etc.
• In the spirit of rogue-like games everywhere, you only get one life!

Wishlist (I may or may not get around to including these)

• More dungeon features, like traps, secret passages, bosses.
• More kinds of level layout styles, like labyrinths
• Some kind of story
• A better ending. (the current one is just a placeholder)
• Aesthetic touches

Get it here: (includes a sample randomly generated campaign)

Usage:
Must have Java installed - simply extract everything into a single folder (anywhere) and run the included GenerateCampaign.bat and it will create a random campaign in the Hammerwatch levels folder automatically.

Note: If you have a non-standard C: drive steam installation you will have to update the path in parameters.txt.

v1.1 changes:

• Fixed multiplayer level exit glitch. (dead teammates re-spawn when you progress to the next level)
• Keys now match at least one locked door on each level. (sometimes there are 2 locked rooms and only 1 key)
• Attempted to fix Linux/OSX path problems, though I was only able to test on windows.
