Title: baseDefenseMapFromLocation example.
Post by: Nord on May 27, 2024, 12:10:56 am

Has anyone already played with baseDefenseMapFromLocation?
Is there an example of using this feature?
Thanks.

It shouldn't need much consoderation besides turning it on. The intenet is that if you use a more complicated maoscript than vanilla (e.g. have a surface level or above ground base), this feature makes it so the RNG seed is consistent every time the script runs, and the base should look the same every time you defend it. Mostly a minor cosmetic feature.

Yes, but writing "baseDefenseMapFromLocation: 1" causes segmentation error. At least in a quick battle.

quick battle doesn't have a globe, and thus also no globe location... thus segmentation error

newest oxce version has something, which could probably help, but I didn't test it with this use case... I will look at it later

for now, use normal game, not quick battle
