| Summary | 0010223: Derive map seed from map name | ||||
| Description | The idea is that two players who name their region "The Shambles of Doom" will see the same map. But someone playing in a region of Environ named "Julia's Nook" will get a different map. zaaq suggests limiting this feature to worlds not called "Environ". (Split from 0010136) | ||||

Comment from 10136: Deriving the seed from the map name shouldn't be too difficult, assuming: (1) AVWW uses a common PRNG instance in the world generation logic, and (2) The initialization logic has a deterministic (read: repeatable) implementation. The code would work something like: var worldName = GetWorldNameFromUI(); var rng = worldName == "Environ" ? new System.Random() : new System.Random(worldName.GetHashCode()); // Pass rng to world generation logic |

Bear in mind that while initial world generation is handled from one map seed, that would just apply to the world map and nothing else; the actual regions use random seeds that are nondeterministic. Plus, as various updates to the game happen, you lose the deterministic nature of the seeds in general. Honestly I think this would lead to more frustration than anything else, as the determinism you might be looking for really wouldn't be there. Adding a single slice changes the layouts of all rooms that use that slice folder, for instance, because the total number of potential slices, and their indices, are all changed. |
