Adding the "Random Maps" thing to the client?

[NizzyStorm]

Hey! ok so i was wondering if there would be a way to implement the "Random Maps" so the client would generate a random map for you i used to always love playing random maps now it is boring i just play cncnet because of the 100000 cash that you get so i was wondering is there a way to have random maps?

That does mean someone needs to write a random map generator... that's not exactly trivial. Not to mention such generated maps are generally not balanced at all.

 

Which game do you mean, btw?

TS Has a random Map generator that still works in the CNC Net version of the game. It saves in INI format in a file name like SAVE4823.SED, but TS has a function that can write the current scenario to an ini map file. So theoretically this is possible. I might try it if I get bored sometime in the near future.

 

This is a random map that I just generated. Surprisingly balanced.
