[Updated] Daedalus - Random Dungeon Generator for Unity

Rocki it's for our project but if it come out ok and they have not made this in the kit I may share it.

 

Hey! Im scouting out possible dungeon generators for my rpg and this one being recently released interested me. Is there a way to make enemies and items spawn in different rooms randomly? Or at least some code to enable me to do that? The biggest thing holding my game back is creating levels D: So i would love something this!

 

Daedalus has been updated to v1.0.0.

Now with FULL 3D generation! Create mazes, dungeons, towers and multi-floor buildings with ease!

 

This is Totally Awesome. Crazy Wicked Stuff.
Downloading now!

Cheers.

 

Hi, yes, you have full access via code for items/enemy spawning. There are a couple examples in the docs: Link

 

Can you make a video on the new update. And maybe one on spawning items/enemies please.

 

Yes, we'll release some videos on the new features and maybe one for the scripting.

 

I'm really enjoying the generator. Just one thing I'm having trouble with. I can't get it to NOT use the blue default "RoomFloor" object.

You can see in the picture I've replaced it with my "Factory_RoomFloor" object but it keeps using the default one anyway. The blue floors should look like the grey floors.

I just tried some more variations and it only seems to do it when the map size is too small for the amount and size of room I'm telling it to generate.

 

Looks like you spotted a bug! We're having a closer look and will keep you updated.

 

The bug is fixed. New version of Daedalus in a few days. Thank you very much for your feedback!

 

Hi,
Just bought the asset.
However, running into these error when I generate the dungeon :-

any idea on fixing it ? or maybe it's due to the asset is not yet support Unity4.5 ? ( I'm using unity 4.5 )

So, questions :-
1. Unity 4.5 support ETA ?
- I read at http://daedalus.userecho.com/topic/454004-help/ that new version is in the work, ready soon ?

2. support for Mobile ( Android ) ? is it optimized ? or it should just work fine ?

Awaiting your kind reply.
Thanks

 

Hi LoDx,

thank you for your feedback!

1. We already have a new version ready; off course it supports 4.5. Please allow a few days for some more testing and then it will be online on the AssetStore

2. It is optimized, it generates really fast (with reasonably big maps), but it really depends on the graphic asset you use

 

Any new updates? Have you guys tested this with multiplayer at all?

 

Fixing a couple of bugs with the new features, but we're close.

We tested it with multiplayer, just passing a seed between clients, and it works. Do you have any other specific request about multiplayer?

 

AXXE78,
could you give me a hint where to research on how to integrate various objects (enemies, items, etc.) when using your mapgeneration on runtime?
I'm interested in using it for a 2d top-down rpg with roguelike elements and am wondering how to place stuff like ingame-currency or powerups in a random generated world.
Thanks in advance,
Oainter

 

Hi, you can have a look at the docs, in particular the scripting reference, here. There are some methods you can use to get all the room floors (for example), and use those to randomly spawn powerups, treasure chests, etc.

Let me know if you need to know anything else.

 

The new version is taking a little bit longer, so for anyone using Unity 4.5, here is a quick fix that should make Daedalus work with Unity 4.5: GenericChoiceDrawer.cs

Download the script ad overwrite it in the Editor folder.

 

Looks great! Question for you...

Do you have any plans to provide integration with the SECTR tools? http://www.sectr.co/complete.html

I know there's another similar tool which integrates with SECTR VIS, which is somewhat handy.

 

Yes, we got other requests like yours. We plan to have a look into it for next updates.

 

We wanted integration for PlyGames and RPG 2 Kit. But TonyLi i think is looking to making third party support for your kit. If he does that will solve it for both kits. However for your own app you might want to look into those two for those who do not use the Dialog system.

 

Any update on when the 4.5 version will be released?

 

Submitting it today itself.

 

Awesome. Thanks for all the hard work.

 

Heya,

Does the new version address the "corridors being generates first" issue?

 

That's not an issue, it's how the current algorithm works. Others may be implemented in future versions.

 

Well what I meant was whether or not the room-first one was implemented in this version? I was under the impression that was the intention?

 

Yep, that's on our to-do list, though I can't say if it will be made in that way ("room-first") or with different algorithms we are looking into.

 

Had 2 questions
1. I noticed someone asked about enemy/monster and powerups, etc. and in the docs it's not currently supported?

"At this stage, Daedalus only creates game levels, it does not take care of decorating them or populating them with enemies, power-ups, etc., though you can add all these things in pre-built tiles and you can even extend Daedalus to make it do whatever you need (full source code is provided with the package)."​

2. last update was in april, do you expect to release an updated version and any new features, like the stuff mentioned in question 1.
Thanks

 

Hi Alienmadness,

1. there is still no "click and go" way to spawn enemy, monsters, power-ups, items, etc., but it's quite trivial to do via code, you can find a couple of examples in the docs (Scripting section)

2. the updated version is on its way to the AssetStore review; there are some bug fixes and nice new features some users asked for (directional walls for both Standard Maps and TileMaps, "fake 3D" maps, customizable entrance/exit distance, etc.)

 

Just purchased - Created a new empty project - Imported Daedalus. Immediately got the following error
Assets/Daedalus_Core/Editor/Daedalus_Editor/GenericChoiceDrawer.cs(9,31): error CS0161: `GenericChoiceDrawer.GetPropertyHeight(UnityEditor.SerializedProperty, UnityEngine.GUIContent)': not all code paths return a value
Unity 4.5.2f1 - Windows 7 64 bit
Not looking good as I cannot even view the samples. - What's wrong

1. Follow this post: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/random-dungeon-generator-for-unity.174147/page-3#post-1669950, just download the GenericChoiceDrawer.cs file and overwrite it in the Editor folder (important!)

2. Make sure you are not trying to add the wrong script. Open the example scenes and test those first. Let us know if you run in any problem.

 

Version 1.0.7 was sent to the AssetStore review earlier today. Some new features:

- Unity 4.5+ support
- "Fake 3D" Maps
- Directional Walls/Perimeter
- Customizable Entrance/Exit Distance
- Custom Prefabs in 2D Tiles



Here's another feature the users asked for and which is currently under development: entire rooms used as tiles and automatically connected:

 

Is the 1.07 version going to have ladder/elevator scripts? Are there docs for implementing your doors? It
looks like I'd add the door mesh and animate it, then add 1 of your door scripts.

 

Will you ever release a version of this asset to UnrealEngine 4? If so, can you guys chime in on this thread here?

Erm, 1.0.0 actually does and they work, I loaded the 'fantasy multi-storey' scene. My player is 3 unity cubes high, so I scaled the dungeon 1.5x, for plygame I
had to add the scene to the build settings and update the language screen to
load this scene, add camera, delete the default player, it's looking good.

 

We were looking for some kind of partnership to accomplish that, but still no luck at the moment...

 

Wondering if I could use this asset with a 'cave' tileset (I could make it myself, but am curious about the specs to make it work with Daedalus). IE could I make a set of cave straight, angle, crossroad, dead-end, etc. 'tiles' and have Daedalus put them together randomly into a maze? I would also want to set the start and end locations so that I could enter and exit said caves. It seems like the algorithm is keen on proper floors is why I ask. Thanks!

 

Yep, absolutely. You can create a set of directional tiles (straight, curve, T-junction, cross, ecc.) and Daedalus will lay them down in a random map. Also, you can specify Entrance/Exit tiles, which can have their own prefab tiles with anything you need in them, and in the newer version you can also specify the distance between Entrance/Exit tiles!

 

I upgraded 1.00 to 1.07, got this
Assets/Daedalus_Core/Scripts/Generation/VirtualMapGenerator.cs(5,13): error CS0101: The namespace `global::' already contains a definition for `MazeGenerationAlgorithmChoice'

line 5 is next
public enum MazeGenerationAlgorithmChoice {HuntAndKill, RecursiveBacktracker}

public class VirtualMapGenerator

I upgraded it in another project and didn't get this error

 

Never mind, I deleted the Daedalus Core folder and re-imported 107, no errors

 

If you want to do a SECTR integration, email support@makecodenow.com and I'll send you a license and will answer whatever questions you have.

 

for vis it's can be amazing i have send mail MakeCodeNow he say me go out ...

But have Big Problem not Working any more on Android
it's happen already on version 1.0 i send mail about it
and it's make the same on 1.07

anyone got solution ? scene just not running you can try with sample

 

You should provide some more info...

 

the only think's i can say i'am suprised to be first to get this think's
i have make logcat with no succes if someone can try please
for see what's happen

 

We have tested Daedalus with iOS, Android and WP8, no problems so far. Try creating a fresh new project, import ONLY Daedalus package and build for Android.

 

i have test when i pass on android

black screen after run on mobile excatly same think's with ONLY Daedalus package

 

sorry to say that's but it's working when deadelus script as be removed form scene
so it's not comming from my projet

 

We'll have a look

 

Thank's waiting new's


/ Note: tileSize must be equal to wallSize+columnSize
when i try change is automaticly resested by default value

 

Here's a video showing a default installation of Daedalus:

we just opened the runtime example scene and built for Android. As you can see, everything is working fine, so your problem must be something else.
