Map Magic World Generator - a node based procedural and infinite game map tool

@Wright Hi, I tried the code, but it say that "src.offset, src.size, src.resolution" in "SpatialHash dst = new SpatialHash(src.offset, src.size, src.resolution)" the name src does not exist in the contest.
What is missing?

 

@Wright Do you have some kind of showcase? We are using Map Magic for our randomly generated terrains. We have 4 biomes, ice, forest, hills, and desert. You can see some of these in the trailer
https://store.steampowered.com/app/980640/Empire_of_Ember/

Also, please message me if you want a Steam key. We've giving a limited number of free keys to the general population but they will be gone by the time you get this message.

@Wright look like both "SpatialHash dst = new SpatialHash(src.offset, src.size, src.resolution)" and "Vector2 pos = new Vector2(src.offset.x + src.size.x / 2f, src.offset.z + src.size.z / 2f);" need src variable. Problem is in the Example you posted here and in https://gitlab.com/denispahunov/mapmagic/-/wikis/MM1/Scripting_faq that variable is missing, I tryed some option but nothing was working, can you please help?

 

After my next game update I'll be testing the move to mapmagic 2 (I bought the whole set in anticipation) but for now I am still using map magic 1 and like to share pics. Thank you for all of your great work on the map magic projects and I hope that you are staying healthy and happy

 

Early Walt Disney it looks really professional.. great work and good luck with the project.

 

Hey !
I´ve got a problem. Recently setup a fresh new project using Unity 2020.1 and MapMagic 1.10.9.
Now when I right click and hover over create -> the menue does not show up. Same with preview.
The focus is instantly taken over by the main window.

 

Check if it's this problem. If so, it's a Unity bug. Test it by trying to assign a material to a renderer from the pop-up list.

 

Updated to Unity 2020.2.5 in hope it would fix it.
No, it only seems to happen in map magic. I also noticed I get an error in import:




Edit:
Found this on githlab today. I think this is the same issue ?
https://gitlab.com/denispahunov/mapmagic/-/issues/323
https://gitlab.com/denispahunov/mapmagic/-/issues/345

I have tried MM1 with Unity 2020.x now 3 different PCs. On every machine I get the same issue. So at the moment MM1 is simply not working for me. Am I the only one here having this issue ?

 

Hi. In my testbed project, I deleted the MapMagic directory and imported the new assets (MM, Biomes, Objects, Splines). I updated via Asset Store, so they're the latest. I'm seeing these compilation errors:

Assets/MapMagic/Compatibility/VegetationStudio/VSProMapsOut.cs(96,10): error CS0117: 'Graph' does not contain a definition for 'OnBeforeOutputFinalize'
Assets/MapMagic/Compatibility/VegetationStudioObjects/VSProObjectsOut.cs(98,10): error CS0103: The name 'SkipOnBiome' does not exist in the current context
Assets/MapMagic/Compatibility/VegetationStudioObjects/VSProObjectsOut.cs(100,13): error CS1061: 'VSProObjectsOut' does not contain a definition for 'MoveRotateScale' and no accessible extension method 'MoveRotateScale' accepting a first argument of type 'VSProObjectsOut' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Assets/MapMagic/Compatibility/VegetationStudioObjects/VSProObjectsOut.cs(139,10): error CS0117: 'Graph' does not contain a definition for 'OnBeforeOutputFinalize'

The testbed project used to work fine.

 

I think you mean MapMagic 2?
This thread is for MapMagic 1.

You can get a fix for the errors here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/rel...al-land-generator.875470/page-17#post-6872732

 

Argh! My bad. Thanks for the pointer!

 

In Unity 2020.2.7f1 in the original map magic (newest version)
As soon as I hover over create or preview, the menu disappears..

This used to work in Unity 2020.1, I didn't change any relevant code

 

This looks really cool! Are you streaming your terrain via MapMagic?

 

thanks, and yes, MapMagic handles all the terrain streaming really well

 

Anyone know if Voxeland is compatible with MapMagic2?
Eg: Generate terrain - and then dig at runtime?

 

this invite is expired.

 

Does anyone know a way of getting what Biome layer a terrain tile is being generated for in MM2?

I can get the terrain tile and data with the OnTerrainApplied event and I can see the Biome layers, but haven't figured out which layer the generated tile used.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

 

GAH. With Map Magic 2 - wrong thread

So. Say. 3 years later... someone still wanted to do this. Don't judge.

and they setup such a noise - how would such a person - increment the noise offset based on the world tile location in a multiple terrain setup. I don't see any easy ways to pump data into the X or Y or the noise, And I don't see any low-hanging "world space" nodes either.

How do other people do this then?

Hi res diagram enc...

Bug. Add a custom Spline output. Delete it. You can't.



stuck with it then forever?

Doesn't like you trying to scale up imported map data. (Yes, I read the error, needs scaffold)

 

Hi,
I have this error with Unity 2021.1.11f1 and MapMagic 2.1.5

 

Not to be a dick... But... I am guessing it is actually assigned right?
What graph is that. Can we see a screenshot of the intended request? Not really enough detail to go on there.
Looks like the graph is literally not assigned in the little box but could just be the terrain texture type being wrong - combined with something else. or something else. hard to see without more info

 

Fun fact:

Must have a default constructor or my graph won't load?

I am completely guessing that your serialiser? is expecting one? no idea why it is embedding this class of mine in that. Perhaps because it references a map magic node thingy...

this is all I can think



Anyway. word the wise. Your graph suddenly doesn't load? Check for this. Caught me out.

EDIT: I forgot to add. There is always the possibility that I am being a complete idiot. Never rule that out

 

I just did a new project with Unity 2021.1.11f1 URP and MM2 2.15 without doing anything else. Does MM2 work with this version of Unity?

 

This is the wrong thread.

LOL you posting here totally threw me.

Ask there

 

Sorry !
Thanks for the new link.

 

Hey - just got Mapmagic 2. Looks great so far, although I was wondering - I'm going to have a 3x3 terrain map with a large specifically shaped valley running up the center. How would I get an Import node to span multiple tiles, since I'm importing the valley heightmap?

 

Wrong thread

Enjoy (And I'm not sure)

 

This is a MapMagic issue but im leaving this on both forums in case this helps someone using MapMagic 1 and Microsplat

I updated Microsplat and then had this MapMagic 1 error:

Assets/MapMagic/Generators/CustomShaderOutput.cs(1439,36): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'MicroSplatTerrain' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I fixed it by editing CustomShaderOutput.cs and adding:

using JBooth.MicroSplat;

 

good man!

Good man

 

I assume the bundle images are just the individual asset images and this is just an error, right? Or are biomes not included?

 

Hello Denis,

Upgraded from 1.10.09 to 1.10.10 and I get a lot of errors in MapMagicWindow.cs (which is the only script updated anyway.


Assets\MapMagic\Editor\MapMagicWindow.cs(863,57): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'void' to 'object'

Assets\MapMagic\Editor\MapMagicWindow.cs(868,106): error CS1503: Argument 2: cannot convert from 'Item[]' to 'System.Func<object>'

Assets\MapMagic\Editor\MapMagicWindow.cs(912,77): error CS1739: The best overload for 'Item' does not have a parameter named 'disabled'

Any clues? Thanks

 

Is there any way to clamp these pathfinding points together? I can't seem to find a fix. Also is there a way to have only 1 singular road generated throughout all the tiles?

 

Seems to be a screenshot copied from MapMagic 2 Core. Biomes module is included in Bundle, and this screen is taken from the Badlands scene. This scene is also included, together with graph and textures. Will check if the screens are relevant for Bundle, thanks for pointing that out!

Oh, it's MapMagic 1. The last update has a new create window copied from MapMagic 2 as far as I remember. I will take a look what's gone wrong here.

Unfortunately you can't make the road going from one tile to another without a hack (like additional margins for Scatter). But I'm working on cluster system that can fix this.

About connecting points that have close horizontal positions but different vertical - I can see your use case. Will think about adding a Weld node that takes X and Z coordinates or something.

 

Hey ! I would like to know if there's a limit of locks in a map magic terrain ?

 

MMWG has no locks. You might be talking about MM2.

I have not set any limitation on this, theoretically you can have 2 billions. But I have not tested maximum number as well. The sane amount looks like a hundred for me.

 

I was wondering if I am missing something. The problem occurs in Map Magic 1 & Map Magic 2. All I am doing is creating an initial MapMagic object and then try to "pin" other terrains. When I click "pin" I get nothing. I cannot add any additional terrains. I am using 2021.3.3

 

Do you have GIZMOS turned on in your scene view? If they are off you won't see the outline when you mouse over a pinnacle area, and creating a new terrain by pinning won't work.



If that doesnt help, try reseting your layout factory settings to default. This will remove your saved window configurations, but you could restore them manually after.

 

That might have been it. Not sure if I did or not but got 'em now. Thanks.

 

After I generate a terrain in MM1 I run a post process script that adds a road to each terrain.

It modifies the terrain height map so once I make it it is permanent until the terrain regenerates itself.

I notice sometimes terrains just hide instead of being destroyed (which is cool)

How can I listen to know when a terrain tile that already exists is regenerated, like if I go far away then come back sometimes it isn't regenerated but just unhidden. This way I can only regenerate roads when a terrain is generated free or regenerated. I dont want to berates a road on a terrain that already has one.

 

Upgraded to MM 1.10.10 from 1.10.9 and I get a lot of errors:


Assets\MapMagic\Editor\MapMagicWindow.cs(925,9): error CS1061: 'Item' does not contain a definition for 'subItems' and no accessible extension method 'subItems' accepting a first argument of type 'Item' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Assets\MapMagic\Editor\MapMagicWindow.cs(927,41): error CS1503: Argument 1: cannot convert from 'Item' to 'Den.Tools.GUI.Popup.Item'

Assets\MapMagic\Editor\MapMagicWindow.cs(863,57): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'void' to 'object'

Any solutions?

 

MapMagic Brush is not working in 2021.2 and 2021.3!
Only works in 2020.3. I tested everything in clean new projects.

Hi.

(on Unity 2019.4.10 with current latest Mapmagic 2 at date 2.1.10)
There is an error in console:

Assets\MapMagic\Tools\Segs\SplineMatrixOps.cs(51,6): error CS1503: Argument 1: cannot convert from 'UnityEngine.Vector2' to 'Den.Tools.Vector2D'
Assets\MapMagic\Tools\Segs\SplineMatrixOps.cs(52,6): error CS1503: Argument 2: cannot convert from 'UnityEngine.Vector2' to 'Den.Tools.Vector2D'

 

Using the Objects plugin, how does one instantiate trees as GameObjects, not trees?

 

Outputs -> Objects is usable with trees

 

Hello all, I just bought Map Magic but am unable to import a RAW Heightmap file. It does not show up as an option in the new maps directory. I have a custom map I want to import. I might be missing something. Can someone help?

 

Did you create an imported map, and then put the import node in the graph?

https://gitlab.com/denispahunov/mapmagic/-/wikis/MatrixGenerators/Import

Right click in your project, choose "Create/Map Magic/Imported Map"?

 

Thank you. That was step I probably missed. Let me try that when I get home tonight.

 

@Wright does infinite generation worth with imported heightmaps?

 

Has anyone got grass working with 2022.2? Unity changed the grass painting recently, so maybe that's why I can't get it to show.
