Version 1.1.0

[HySpeed]

• Added 'Pacific' map (Africa on left, America on right)
• Renamed world to 'Atlantic' map
• Refactored to add 'data' and 'worlds' folders
• Changed settings to use drop-down for map name & type
• Refactored all spawns to work with both maps
• Added skipping of the 'intro movie'

I'm happy to make changes and test if there are better ways to do things.

As I understand it, the game initially puts 0,0 at the top left of the map's initial layout. The value in the 'spawns.lua' is the offset from that. After the map has been created, the spawn point becomes 0,0 and locations are relative to that.

I tested spawning with both repeat and non-repeat settings. Spawning worked correctly.

Ah yes! You are right.

I was now thinking, you created a second maps that is essentially just the original map with an offset. Is there a reason you did not simply implement an actual offset feature? Similar to the spawn-point setting, but this offsets the world around the player, rather than the player around the world. If that makes sense?

I don't think I thought that far ahead. This is kind of a brute force solution.

Fair enough, and since your map also removes Antarctica it actually is a real map too. Though maybe it makes sense to simply make a map with and without Antarctica, and then to do offset in code so any offset is possible. What do you think?

This is more work though, so I'd totally get if you don't want to put in more work.

I'm fine with how it is for now. The heavy lift is the testing. If it were only ~6 locations, no biggie. But I went a bit overboard with the locations and I'd need to test each one at different sizes again to ensure it worked right. That's very time consuming.

thanks

Fair enough. I don't have time to do proper testing soon either, so we can leave it as is for now. Maybe some day in the future we can make it even fancier!

@HySpeed Will you make a new build for the mod portal too? I can do it as well, though don't have everything set up for it at the moment. You should already have access to the mod on the mod portal.
