Adding dirt roads to random maps.

Radaral · Cyborg Soldier **Joined**: 26 Feb 2007

I once played a tiberian sun mod that added dirt rounds to the random maps. Would this be possible with YR? and if so how would you go about it?
Oh and what does the MarbleMadness tag do?

I added marble madness # to new stuff I made and when I turned on MM in FA2 I was able to see them unlike the colored tiles

So how would I go about getting dirt road paths in Random maps? or is it not possible to hook up in YR?

This is inside of the temperate.ini file.

; RequiredForRMG
; Used for Random map generator (Tem and Snow only)

I would take this as to mean that a random map generator can only apply dirt roads to Temperate and Snow terrain maps

Well, the dirt roads already have the RequiredForRMG=true on them, but I myself have never seen dirt road paths ever generated by RMG method. So I would have to say, no, they must not be possible in YR.

Or maybe it is but there's a setting someplace that needs to be changed. or maybe that marble madness interferes with the abilities for the RMG to place it in maps. I don't recall ever seeing dirt roads in tiberian sun random maps, but then I got one of the big mods from it back before they where patching our cnc games, and now Dirt roads commonly showed up in some of the new random maps for that mod.

I dont know man, maybe that mod creater found a way to add them in. Check his rmgmd.ini, maybe he added something there.

Of all the mods I downloaded and pulled apart, I only found one that had an ini labeled that. The name is Eagle Red AA...in this file it shows only Tem & Snow comments.

@ Radaral: Where you playing a mod when you saw this or is it just a thought? You might want to go to Renegade Forums and ask DCoder.....Blade, DJBreit, & Marshall are some people that would know about this stuff.

I can't imagine the game would possibly know how to place them correctly. Cliffs have a clear front, which can be connected easier (though RMG maps still have cliff errors) whereas roads are just regular tiles with no definition of start/end/direction etc.

I'm sure it was Tiberian Revolution, or tiberian sun retro. or something. but you're right I'll download it or look it up and see if the names right.

The Random Map Generator in TS places them just fine on snow maps.
