Teaser: Imperial mansion map generation
Added 2023-06-12 14:02:32 +0000 UTCHey folks! Another teaser for you. We've been hard at work creating modules that are used to assemble various imperial mansions that you will be able to raid in VFE-Deserters.
Depending on the rank of the noble you will attempt to assassinate, they mansion may contain bigger, grander structures, and more of them too!
These modules are randomly selected and randomly placed on the encounter maps, meaning every time you play the game, the location will look different.
Would you like to know more?

These people are irredeemable. Plus, it would be a LOT of extra work and edge cases.

2023-06-14 18:17:48 +0000 UTCThey can just be researched if you got the tech print and built at will!

2023-06-14 06:51:48 +0000 UTCAny chance those super turrets tech can be stolen and rebuilt by the player?

2023-06-14 06:48:08 +0000 UTCNow if only we could get this kind of detail on other settlement generation attacking faction bases would be amazingly repayable. The base gen mod was a huge step up but this kind of detail is insane

2023-06-14 06:46:51 +0000 UTCOh, and the VE testing discord: https://discord.gg/54BjnT4
Oskar Potocki
2023-06-13 10:30:11 +0000 UTCThese were created by VE devs and some patrons we had on our VE discord for a long time. Creating such buildings is quite complex as there are balancing guidelines for each module, therefore it’s not open for public. The best place to look out for such opportunities is probably the VE discord.

2023-06-13 06:39:57 +0000 UTCHow could I contribute in buildings? :D

2023-06-12 22:55:54 +0000 UTCYou don't get intel for destroying stuff. You get intel by 'hacking' stuff :)
Oskar Potocki
2023-06-12 19:32:51 +0000 UTCYes. *randomly stomps on bugs for some reason*
Gerhard de Boer
2023-06-12 19:26:23 +0000 UTCCan we gain bonus Intel for destroying statues or opulent rooms? I like to imagine toppling a tyrants statue has to be worth a few more bonus points.

2023-06-12 19:26:04 +0000 UTCUnusual post for these mods but extremely cool, get to properly appreciate the work that goes into these tiles seeing them all isolated like this

2023-06-12 18:45:52 +0000 UTCSo THAT'S what KCSG stands for. lol
AKorgar
2023-06-12 18:39:54 +0000 UTCi wanna know more about those emplacements! those look good!
Cr Peregrine
2023-06-12 17:24:43 +0000 UTCGotcha I didn't know was already a part of VEF
Rafael Ortega
2023-06-12 16:45:50 +0000 UTCDefine generation system. If you mean KCSG (Kikohi's Custom Settlement Generation), it's already used in all VE mods. Vanilla Factions Expanded Vikings, Settlers, Ancients, Mechanoids, Classical, Insectoids, all those mods use this code. Biggest one if Vanilla Faction Bases Expanded, which overhauls generation of all vanilla faction bases and uses hundreds of different 'modules' like that.
Oskar Potocki
2023-06-12 16:29:45 +0000 UTCWill this generation system be only for deserters or will be available for everyone with VEF?
Rafael Ortega
2023-06-12 16:24:01 +0000 UTCI'm not sure about that, but I don't feel like I can actually convey what I mean with words, at least not now, so we'll just see what It'll look like when another dev log releases/the mod comes out

2023-06-12 16:11:23 +0000 UTCThat's in the plans!
Oskar Potocki
2023-06-12 16:05:31 +0000 UTCThere is no line separating any cells. It looks like a seamless structure.

2023-06-12 16:05:22 +0000 UTCThose truck things look dope

2023-06-12 15:17:34 +0000 UTC*turns to camera* I'm doing my part!
Odai
2023-06-12 14:49:50 +0000 UTCSo every 20 tiles there is a line that separates the cells, I see. Well, I kinda hoped that structures could be wherever rather than having their center placed 20 tiles apart, but i know the effort wouldn't be worth it so I'll take what we get
Oleg Oleg
2023-06-12 14:49:03 +0000 UTCThat line at the end 'would you like to know more' had me ready to join the mobile infantry and go kill the bugs on Klendathu. RICO'S ROUGHNECKS
jeremy patterson
2023-06-12 14:48:07 +0000 UTCCould these potentially carry over to generate more unique starting layouts for an Empire colony too?
Jason McGinn
2023-06-12 14:46:08 +0000 UTCI don't know about any lines, but the tiles are not in random locations but instead are aligned on a grid composed of 20x20 tiles 'cells'.
Oskar Potocki
2023-06-12 14:32:59 +0000 UTCSo I can assume that I could draw lines between each module and each line would be as far apart from each other as any other, and said line would also be empty space? Like how in ches we place the figures on each tile, except that in this case the tile may actually be 25x25 game tiles or whatever?
Oleg Oleg
2023-06-12 14:23:36 +0000 UTCFirst module is placed in the middle of the map, and then other modules need to be adjacent to the previous modules. This will generally result in everything being clustered into a single complex in the middle.
Oskar Potocki
2023-06-12 14:21:04 +0000 UTCHow will they be placed if I may ask? I assume it'll be grid like, however I'd like to know if every map gets a grid and then each "hex" of the grid gets an assigned location or if it'll be placed wherever there is room with an attempt to stay at the center?
Oleg Oleg
2023-06-12 14:16:20 +0000 UTCYes, I would in fact love to know more. This mod is looking amazing.
CryoAnubis7
2023-06-12 14:09:26 +0000 UTC“Would you like to know more?” HECK YEAH WE DO lol mod looks amazing so far.
