me I got the error, complaining about MAP05:

Just in case, some files have been renamed in the past several releases for re-organization - can you try clearing out your `games` folder and re-copying the contents and try again?

[roundtree]

This version compiles up nicely on Linux. Last version did not compile. It would just crash at 81%. Honestly, I did not want to bother anyone about it. I downloaded the Windows version and ran it through a 64-bit Wine, and it ran beautiful!

Also, I'm really impressed with some of the new prefabs! I have not seen everything, because I hardly touch urban or hell levels. Don't know why, but I'm obsessed with tech bases. And I just noticed 1 week ago that Obsidian has the ability to compress wad files. Is this a new feature? If not, I wish I would have noticed a long time ago. I just never bothered to look at the options before.

I've been messing with that "minimum light level" feature. Some newer FPS games do not require the use of a flashlight like Doom 2. It's just if I turn it up too much, it maybe feels a bit less like Doom. Doom always had the element of surprise with monsters coming at you out of the darkness.

[dasho]

I think WAD compression has been in for almost 3 months now, so it depends on whether you consider that new or not.

Also, it's not bothering us if you are reporting an error, especially on the Linux side as the userbase is of course skewed heavily towards the Windows side of things.

I understand what you mean, but you proved to me that just because I'm having a problem compiling does not mean it is the fault of the operating system. I recall before that I over-modified my build environment to the point where I just needed to reinstall Linux. But for sure if I do report an error, I will output the errors to a text file log first.

I just have a suggestion for one of the Hexen prefabs: breakable glass windows, like the ones from the first level. I don't feel that it is that important, just throwing it out there. It was not important in the original levels usually, but one of them did conceal a secret passageway.

[dasho]

I'll be honest, the current (Beta 20) level of support for Hexen is probably about as much development that will go into it from our side. I will maintain compatibility with the generic prefab set, which is what powers pretty much every game but Doom 1/2, but there's just not enough bandwidth or interest from any of the core team to make Hexen-specific prefabs.

That being said, all Hexen features SHOULD be supported at this point, although we have decided to force Hexen into a linear progression when generating multi-map WADs (special 74 will always warp to the next map in sequence, and the exit for the last generated map becomes special 75 which ends the game).

If there is a Hexen feature that doesn't work as intended when creating a Hexen map or prefab, we will still accept that as a bug report.

[dasho]

Heads up for anyone tracking the current Beta 20 branch; we just updated to use LuaJIT instead of vanilla Lua and the time to generate maps has been significantly reduced. The latest zip is at
https://github.com/dashodanger/Obsidian ... t-Unstable

I recommend a clean install (no previous files or configs) in this case, but the results have been very promising so far.

Obsidian compiles great and works great! I can confirm what you said about it compiling maps faster for sure! (Did about 20 yesterday). But it seems Hexen map generation is not functioning. I deleted my config.txt file to make sure that it wasn't something in my configuration messing it up. I took a screenshot of the error, but I'm not that concerned about it right now. Doom map generation works just fine as well as Chex Quest and Heretic.

Zdoom forums is not letting me post the screenshot, so I'll just write the error. It says, "script error: attempt to call field rshift: a nil value". If you want me to generate a log file and post it, I will do that for sure.

I just discover that Obsidian is random map generator - VERY good one! (i would write in OP that its a "map generator")

my mind is blown! the complexity of the map it creates is remarkable.

I really like there is not too much ammo. And all the pickups feels "random". It is also sooo much customization in it.

as expected doom maps have the most amazing variety of decorations, and architectural features. Heretic maps are little pale in comparison. Need to try Hexen in a second, hope its finally a good mayhem.

probably stupid question already ask in some FAQ:
can you random generate maps for other gamemods than the classics 11? (doom1,2, heretic, hexen.... there is Strife?!!!! FTW) mostly for placement of custom weapons and monsters i mean.

how to reset opsidian to default?

have error building hexen maps [lvl 20 unstable]


Maps are intended to be play without jumping?

[dasho]

There's a lot of questions to unpack there, but firstly I've attached a file called rshift-fix.zip which will contain the fix for the issue in the screenshot. There are two files in the zip, prefab.lua and script.lua. Place them in the /scripts directory of your installation and overwrite the existing versions. That should take care of the error in your screenshot. It was caused as a result of us switching from Lua 5.4 to LuaJIT.

To reset Obsidian to default, delete your CONFIG.txt and open the program again.

Maps made with "ZDoom Family" as the selected engine will include fabs that are intended for crouching or jumping if one of the Doom games is selected. All other selections are not made for jumping.

Heretic, and other games besides Doom, will use the generic prefab set. It is a set of fabs that I maintain to provide at least a minimum level of functionality for the other games. It will definitely not have the variety that Doom has because all of the other content creators, with the exception of Craneo, only make content for Doom. He has, however, developed an addon for Heretic that ports over some of the Doom fabs and textures.

can you random generate maps for other gamemods than the classics 11? (doom1,2, heretic, hexen.... there is Strife?!!!! FTW) mostly for placement of custom weapons and monsters i mean.

Yes, there are addons that support various game mods, such as DoomRLA and the Realm667 beastiary, if that's what you mean.

Sorry, I just realized you were posting about the same thing. This same fix is in the repo now if you feel like grabbing it from there instead.

hexen map build now, but they are not playable due to "out of range coordinates"




i setup engine to Limit Removing - still Hexen gameplay is the worst, now i know that not only the levels are poor

[dasho]

Yeah, looks like Hexen thing Z-heights are being weird again. You're welcome to use the Stable release until things get sorted out, or just generate maps for games other than Hexen for the time being.

[roundtree]

Ok thats fine. I'm still not as concerned with Hexen maps, but I think my love of Hexen Simple RPG has helped bring it back.
