Random level generator mod

[iHaveYourGun]

If someone can make a random level generator MOD? Then I'm all ears.

Thanks for the option but that's not what I'm looking for.

Apart from the aforementioned one:

Oblige
ObHack
Slige

There are not so many to choose from, you know...

It's simply not possible to generate a new map from scratch inside the engine at this time.

The only way to achieve "random" maps is either a system where map areas are opened or closed to allow player movement (such as a grid of sectors), or a series of prefab rooms connected with portals or teleports. There have been a few examples of both.

Okay, what exactly are you looking for then? You know, advising you anything when you dont specify your requirements is pretty impossible.

The reason why I said "that's not what I'm looking for." Is because I don't have a pc and I can't run exe files on a TABLET! So basically, what I meant when I said "random level generator mod" I meant it as a pk3 or wad file. I know it sounds stupidly funny but I'm serious........ But if anyone can MAKE one THEN I would like to hear it (even though it's in text).

...and this information should have been in the first post...

And no, your request is not stupid at all. But based on what others told you, the tablet is little bit dead end. Either, you have to make the mod yourself, or patiently wait until someone makes something like that.

Oki thanks for letting me know!

I've wondered lately if doing such a thing, generating a level at runtime, would be possible through the use of a levelpostprocessor. I know it can modify the properties of linedefs or sectors, though I'm not sure just how capable they are, and with them lacking a proper wiki page the only way I can find out is by experimenting. though, if all else fails, that grid idea could still be used to make predefined tiles. I'm hoping however that I can find some way of simply making vertices and linedefs and sectors, but chances are it won't be so easy.

You can't. The best you can do is modify existing ones, and even then there's still limitations. (e.g., you can't add a back side to a line that doesn't already have one, can't remove the back side of a line...)
So, unfortunately, it's impossible to fully generate levels in-engine. The best you can do is connect existing areas in a map in different ways (using portals) or make the whole level a grid, with the only things you add being actors and models, and changing things like line flags and textures.

There have been a few examples of both.

And those examples are:
ZDoom-Templated for the portal method.
All Dungeons! for the sector grid method.

Sorry I didn't get back to this post after July 13th but I will try those examples and I will tell you how it went. Okay?

ZDoom Templated: Its good it regenerates every time except one small issue. everytime i happen to go ahead and walk into a room i glitches and shows a completely different room. i wish i could show you the error but this website says the file is too large.

All Dungeons!: couldn't run i cause remember, i only have a tablet. And the file format it says and shows on the itch.io site (which is where i took me to download the file) is apperently an .exe so i can't review unfortunately
