---Intro---

To keep things simple, I want to have a plugin that will randomly generate a dungeon in lieu of mystery dungeon games, rogue, and the like.

previous script example: http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/blog/121/entry-789-super-dungeon-demo-thing/#commentsStart

other programming example: http://donjon.bin.sh/code/dungeon/dungeon.pl

---Desired features---

1) being able to customise the over-all "shape" or "feel" of the dungeon

   1) change the room density

   2) change the coridor density

   3) able to decorate the dungeon

   4) map specific tile set

2) being able to set the wall height

3) enemy AI

4) forced dungeon regeneration

---Boiled down---

Basically, I love the way entities and such are handled in the script by KilloZapit, however, I prefer the actual algorithm to generating the dungeon in donjon

---Fin---

I wouldn't mind one bit to start to learn JS so I can work on this myself, so any help on how to reverse engineer code and convert it to another format, and I'd be equally happy to just pop on one day and have a link to a finished plugin

Just a little info: just because something is "simple" to describe, it is not simple to program.


To give you a comparison: there is exactly ONE good Ace-script for random dungeon creation, and that script was published half a year ago despite people asking for random dungeons for Ace for years.


Your request is very good and I really hope that such a plugin gets written - but please don't expect it to happen until next month.


Scripts like these usually take many months to write and playtest.

oh, I'm VERY much aware of the fact that random dungeon generation is inherently a royal pain in the rear, hence why I'm requesting it, and willing to put in some work for it. Like you said, the only good RDG was written by essentially two different people, I'm thinking that this project would require a team of people to work on it. It is a very ambitious request, of that I am aware.

Welp, it seems that someone has indeed made a random dungeon generator for MV, can't seem to be able to quite find it again, but, I will say that it doesn't uite fully have the things I'd want, not from what I've seen at least. So there, it is done, mostly, I think >.>

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
