The processing I was referring to is our c# code converting data from say xml into bytes in memory, which a GPU is not going to help with. Reading of xml also causes a lot of secondary data to be read like loading of prefabs, which loads components, meshes, materials, shaders and textures. All of that being done by Unity.
Well I was optimistic too, but all it takes is one dev working on a core required feature who thinks they will be done in a month and then unforeseen problems or design changes happen and it becomes 4 or 6 months.
It is a game and the number one rule of professional games, is to make it fun, so people will buy it and play it enough to tell their friends and repeat the cycle or you won't be making games for long because you will go broke. Most games, including 7dtd, are far from a real simulation of anything, and I'm OK with that. Where we can make it more realistic, sure, we try, but if it takes too much dev time or ruins the fun, or is overly complicated where many players would be turned off, then we skip it.
That would require some serious engine changes, short of we just load the RWG map and drop you into it.
If all tiles and prefabs and parts are in the normal Prefabs folder (even if they are in the do not use folder where all the AAA stuff is located), then a random map generator other than RWG that allows grouping tiles in a specific format could give you this. It might not be exactly the same if some things aren't available, but it could mostly be done. It would let you drop Navesgane in whole into a randomly generated map. The main difficulty is the random placement of POI on tiles that would cause things to be located differently even if the tiles are the same.
For the love of all that is good and fun in this world, please don't EVER go into game development.
I have always said if you want realistic but something that is realistic to do would be buy the game, play game and when you die the steam key gets disabled. You need to buy the game every time you die.
Hmm some hints please hehe, I am guessing was the prison that Roland mentioned.Laz Man said:There's at least a couple more things not noticed in those screenshots. One big one that was mentioned but was incorrect....
Looks amazing Lazman!
This is very likely. There was an attempt to integrate bridges into RWG but as far as I know it was never integrated into the stable version.
I wonder what a survival simulation would look like? Probably me sitting hungry in front of a pile of twigs because I can't light a fire.
The beauty of Navezgane is that it is made by hand.This map looks like a real-life area.It has logic when placing roads and POIs.Any RWG maps look artificial.They don't contain any logic.Everything is done according to a template.The exception will be maps that are created using custom maps of heights, biomes and water.But unfortunately, the standard RWG does not support user settings.RWG in its current form is extremely monotonous.I'd rather play on a pair of hand-crafted cards.I have played 1500 hours of them 1100+ on Navezgane in A18, A19 and A20.I tried 2 dozen RGW cards and was disappointed.
and on a rainy day to boot while a wild bear is just sizing you up.
Generate a 10k random world. Open it up in Photoshop. Paste in nav. Blend the edges so that there are no weird vertical drops. Edit the prefabs XML for each world to fit the new world. Profit. Let me know when you done.
Ah, ok, thanks for explaining the process. What hardware should we all be buying to handle that? Extra large caches, along the lines of the X3D Ryzens? Faster RAM?
