[Updated] Daedalus - Random Dungeon Generator for Unity

yes i see

i try found somethink's in log







it's clear projet only Daedalus
i have already try with other phone
sorry but if you have any idea where's come from
it's can help to found solution

 

Nice !! i found i just reinstall unity !
Sorry about that's ! and thank's !
i think's i will get lot more interessing question now !

 

I am very interested in purchasing Daedalus. However, I would like the rooms to be the path for the maze. As per above review that was left on the asset store.

You responded that this would be available in the next version of Daedalus. Could you please let me know, if this feature is now build into the version on the asset store?

If it is, do you have a demo video showing how this works?

Thx.

 

Hi Zaddo67,

this feature is now part of the next version of Daedalus we are working on, as you can see in this picture:


As shown here, rooms are now (optionally) drawn between corridors and not only as "detours of the corridor path", like stated by our unhappy customer in his review.

Stay tuned for the new version (we're fixing a couple of bugs and testing this new feature before releasing the new version on the AssetStore).

About a webplayer demo of Daedalus, we're working on it and hope to release it in the next few days.

 

Thank you. I'll keep an eye out for this update to hit the store.

 

The rooms are part of the path feature is really awesome.
Can't wait to try it.

Edit: Is there a way to specify only a certain number of openings for the generated rooms? For example: A room with only 2 doors ?

 

Have you seen this approach of generating the dungeon map. http://tinykeep.com/dungen/

Here is the link to their kickstarter page:

Here is a video of the maker talking about how he designed the code:

 

I'm interested in being able to place a Daedalus 'object' randomly at runtime (in a proceedurally generated world) that would then generate a 'tower' or 'building' maze of a set size (but of a random organization) proceedurally on that spot. Does this sound like something that would be possible?

 

Yes, you can jut create a prefab with everything already set and then instantiate it at runtime where you need (and make Daedalus generate a building/dungeon/maze for you), or you can create a GameObject, add required components and set the generation parameters (but I would recommend the frist way).

 

1. A question about using ApexPath or NavMesh with Daedalus. What is the best approach of doing this.

Edit: Found the answer for NavMesh in the video.

Also, can you please answer this question:
2. Is there a way to specify only a certain number of openings for the generated rooms? For example: A room with only 2 doors ?

Cheers

 

does this work with android build ? i seem to be having a problem when switching scene to it the game just freezes and never loads up. all other scenes load fine. and saving the map to prefab seems to crash unity when trying to place saved map into another scene and i noticed in the inspector that it only saves a small part of the map.


Edit: ok i got it to work i had to remove the dungeon scripts off the game object that what was keeping the scene from loading up on mobile might be a bug.

 

We got a copy of ApexPath and will look into it as soon as possible, and eventually make a video for that, too.

There is a "Passages Density" slider you can use, but keep in mind that it's just a suggestion for the generator; if it needs to open a door in a certain spot, it will, to ensure a 100% navigable map.

 

It works on Android, iOS or any other platform. (Here's a video showing an Android build).

 

seem to work if i click add player but that just messes with my own player spawner and if i uncheck it thats when the scene never loads? im using this with orkframe rpg engine

 

Axxe78,

I'm trying to figure out how to create a run-time navigation system that works on the XY plane instead of XZ (navmesh, apex). Reason is that I would like to generate a 3D maze and use it for with unity 2D.

 

Try using a Sprite3D map. Start with the TileMap_Sprite3D.scene file to have a look at how it works. There you have an Orientation drop-down menu in the PhysicalMap Behaviour where you can choose an axis plane (XY, XZ, YZ).

 

Thanks. What's the difference between this map and the TileMap_Sprite2D. These two look similar and only the orientation is different.

 

Sprite2D maps use Unity 2D, ToolKit2D maps use 2DToolKit, while Sprite3D use simple 3D planes with textures. It's just another option that someone may find useful.

About the orientation planes, we decided to take this option out for ToolKit2D TileMaps, since you can manage that kind of stuff from 2DToolKit itself.

The lack of this option for Sprite2D maps sounds like a bug to me, we're having a look and will let you know. By the way, a new version is almost ready, so if it's the case, we'll put this fix into it.

 

I think the lack of option for Sprite2D might be because Unity2d only works on the XY plane.

 

I think you're right

Also, that's why there's a Sprite3D map.

 

Two questions regarding doors:

1.

Can you guys possibly think of a better way to limit the number of doors per room (such as the way DunGen does it). Some of your generated rooms can have a ridiculous number of doors (count the doors per room in your following pic), and even more than 2 per typical square room generally doesn't make sense in real life, so generally I'd want every room to only have 1 or 2 doors (maybe 3 doors max):



2.

Such a procedurally generated building or tower would need a door or entranceway from the outside. Does Daedulus do this? Also, it might be nice to have a roof exit option, or even fire escape or something similar.

Thank you!

 

@eridani
1) Daedalus works in a different way than DunGen, but we are working to implement new generation algorithms that will surely manage the door generation in different ways. Can't give you an ETA, though.

2) the "entranceway" is already on the to-do list; the roof exit isn't, but..well, it is now

 

if use directional path he get fonction to know object list on next

 

Has anyone tries the Tile-a-dungeon art assets with Daedalus? ( e.g. TAD Sewer Kit )

 

I love this app. This is just one of the things we are doing with it.

 

Throwing errors in Unity 5 final, the 'pro only' shaders are listed twice, delete yours and I get even more errors.

 

We're working on the Unity 5 update, it should be ready for the next week.

 

Daedalus for Unity 5 Update

Hey folks, here are some key features of the next update for Daedalus:



..and there are a lot of new options/bug fixes, too! Stay tuned for more.

 

Does this work for mobile platforms as well? I know a lot of random generation can't be done because of the way iOS builds work or whatever. Would love to add randomly generated dungeons to my mobile games!

 

Yes, it does work on any platform we have tested so far. Not all the graphic examples provided are mobile-friendly, though.

 

i got trouble about enter in room

 

Can you give me a more detailed explanation of the problem?

 

I kept checking this page and page 1 for the new update, just saw it's been out on asset store for 3 weeks.

 

Hello, do you have any updates on these items from about 6 months ago? Thank you very much

 

1) Yes, it's in the last update

2) Not yet

 

Hello,

Is there gonna be an update for Symmetric dungeon generation?

 

Hmm, never thought about it. Could be interesting!

 

Yeah, very very much interesting

Implementation should be simple and a quick question,

Developing a top-down game, which generation type you recommend for it?

Will use Manufactura's assets

 

I'd say a TileMap 3D.

 

What about BSP?

What is the difference?

 

Yeah, BSP too would be a good choice. They're two different generation algorithms, and thus different kind of maps. With BSP you can also have different-sized corridors (while you're stuck with 1-tile wide corridors with the other maps).

 

I need wider corridors actually So, going for bsp i think

 

You can have corridors with any size with any kind of map, it's up to you and the graphic asset you're going to use; the key difference here is the number of tiles for the corridor width, which is customizable in the BSP map. Hope it makes sense

 

Yeah it does thanks.

And one little favor to ask, is there a tutorial for BSP generation? And do you happen to stumble upon an asset pack that fits perfectly so i can focus on coding instead of art fixing?

 

Not yet, but it's no different from the other map types, so you can have a look at the tutorials. I can't say if there's an asset pack that fits "out of the box", but I think anything tile-based would do.

 

If you want more types of generation algorithms for your asset you could check out those i utilized here:
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/random-level-generator.342587/

They are all Gridbased, you get a Tile[,] _dungeon after generation. Tiles enum can be Tile.Door,Tile.Wall, Tile.Floor and others depending on what i need for each algorithm.

Hauberk and Cave are from the authors i mentioned. RoomTemplate is from me, it is fast and offers some neat features like:
- finding the longest shortest path between all room pairs ( finding the path is not so fast though )
- make potentialDoors that are only converted to actual doors when they are used
- roomTemplates (random or predesigned)

You can assign the 2 longest-shortest path-rooms as start- and end-room to create a dungeon with fewer sidetracks. This naturally marks all mandatory rooms on the only solution path and could be used to place story events or semibosses that therefore cannot be missed.

 

Very nice, thank you! Will have a look asap.

 

If you find some of my coding patterns unusual and see room for improvement, don't be shy to tell me, i am still investigating things like encapsulation and the like, normally i just write 5000 lines of code in a Main.cs and after that i try to figure out what the hell i did...

 

Hello, do you have any update on this item from last year? Thank you very much

 

Also looking for the feature eridani requested as well. Are there any plans to continue on with development of this amazing asset?
