Mblock (random map generator)

[YM]

Suggestion:

Get it to use prefabs, make a set of vmfs of modular pieces, then get your program to load them in, and distribute them randomly, this way you can generate equally random, but vastly more detailed environments with minimal extra work. As long as you make the origin of each prefab in a logical place, your program should easily be able to take the co-ords within the prefab vmf and translate them to the desired locations.

Once you've done that, get to work on displacements

If I still knew any useful languages I'd get to work on something like this but alas I no longer have a copy of blitz basic and know not any other languages.

You could create a decent looking displacement by just modifying the displacement co-ordinate grid thing with a mathematical function, nice and smooth.

Sorry to wake this thread from the deads.

I would like to know if this project is still alive.
I've been trying to contact martin but without success. If someone could email him, I would much appreciate it.

EDIT
I should mention that I am working on a similar project, and that I am interested to work with him.
