I bought this. When I click on "Generate" in the demo scene Unity gets an exception:

UnityException: Tag: DOOR is not defined!

I have the Dinky Dungeon tileset which I imported first. I haven't made any changes to anything and only opened the demo scene and tried to generate a dungeon. It looks like it creates a single room and that's it.

There aren't a lot of comments in your code so I didn't really dig too much to see if it was something simple. Any idea?

Edit: Interestingly, it's setting the tag that's causing one of the issues. If I comment out the line that sets the DOOR tag, the dungeon generates (with doors).

Apologies, this one slipped through the net.

You need to create a tag in your project called "DOOR" and this error won't happen. I shall update the documentation immediately and post an update today.

I will also modify the code so that if the tag is missing, it will spit out a warning (and not crash...)

The tag is used by the generation code to prevent adjacent doors from being placed when two (or more) rooms border each other.

I apologize again for any frustration this may have caused.

This looks awesome!

 

Thank you A lot of work went into this.

 

Yes - thank you

 

Firstly, a big thank you to those of you who have already bought a copy of this product. Your support is greatly appreciated!

We are trying to set up a business focusing on producing tools for unity users that generate content dynamically and rapidly (hence our level generator products).

I would like to put a question to our users - both existing and potential:

What sort of new features would you most like to see in future updates for this package?

Thanks

Dave

Dexsoft and Arteria both have many village packs as well.

 

Will order this as soon as I get my upgrade of Dinky Dungeon from Game Prefabs. This looks fun!

 

I have also bought this, and am loving it, however, adding support for generation at runtime would be amazing - and I will increase my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars

Aside from that, love this, was easily worth the $30, and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone that wants to create some beautiful dungeons in a single click (and hopefully at runtime in the future!)

 

Sorry about the double post, I accidentally pressed "Reply with Quote" to my above post, rather than edit XD

However, to add to my above post, if you could add monster placement (which i believe your old generator had) that would also be great, but not a deal breaker since such a feature I (and anyone else) can easily add

with that said, keep up the good work!

 

Hi TylerO

Regarding monster placement - you can use the decorator system to achieve exactly this.

Simply create some decorator prefabs that include your monster objects, assign to the relevant rooms, and you're good to go.

 

It's coming

 

Ok guys

For those of you who can't wait for an official release, here is the official script that will be included in the update to add runtime support.

Instructions:

Import into your project.
Attach it to a gameobject which also has the other dungeon scripts attached (generator, implementor, decorator).
If you now run the game, you have a button you can click which will generate dungeons at run-time.

If anyone needs any help adapting the script to work under other scenarios, please feel free to drop me a PM.

Update will be out soon (when I can squeeze in the time!)

Cheers

Dave

 

New runtime generation support is an awesome addition to the system, David helped me get this working personally (before he even posted it!) Its nice to have a developer that personally supports its customers and their products!

Overall, the system feels much more complete now and works like a charm, upgraded my rating from 4 to 5 stars as promised If you're looking for a dungeon generator, look no further than dinky... easily worth it and then some!

 

Thanks for the positive feedback Tyler

 

Hey Guys, v1.2 is out, which now includes run-time generation.

Thanks!

 

Hello Daphyd!

Great, thank you! But I can't compile it...

Assets/DinkyDungeon_Tileset/_Dungeon_LevelGenerator/Scripts/RunTimeSupport/csRuntimeGenerator.cs(8,17): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `coDungeonGenerator' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Any help with this error by chance?
Thank you very much!
Regards
Mario

 

Hi DaphydTheBard, how much effort would be required to adapt a different tileset to this package? I have noobish to ok-ish scripting skills.

 

Hello, I'm pretty interested in this for a future project. I just have two quick questions.

1- Can I use it with other tile sets besides dinky dungeon. In particular would I be able to make my own tileset and use it.

2- Will it also place furniture and other decorations around the level?

Thanks!

 

Really curious about this also!

 

i have the same problem while i try to compile for windows

Assets/DungeonCreator/CoreScripts/ceDungeonGenerator.cs(2,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `UnityEditor' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?


any help is welcome

 

You need to place it in a folder named "Editor".

 

thanks !

it solved this problem and fund a new one

 

Hi,

I'm very interested by your product but can I use it with my custom assets, without the "Dinky Dungeon Tileset" ? Thanks
