void GenerateTerrainPerlin | ( |  | ) |

The main new land generator using Perlin noise.

Desert landscape is handled different to all others to give a desert valley between two high mountains. Clearly if a low height terrain (flat/very flat) is chosen, then the tropic areas wont be high enough, and there will be very little tropic on the map. Thus Tropic works best on Hilly or Mountainous.

static void HeightMapCoastLines | ( | uint8 | water_borders | ) |
| static

This routine sculpts in from the edge a random amount, again a Perlin sequence, to avoid the rigid flat-edge slopes that were present before.

The Perlin noise map doesn't know where we are going to slice across, and so we often cut straight through high terrain. The smoothing routine makes it legal, gradually increasing up from the edge to the original terrain height. By cutting parts of this away, it gives a far more irregular edge to the map-edge. Sometimes it works beautifully with the existing sea & lakes, and creates a very realistic coastline. Other times the variation is less, and the map-edge shows its cliff-like roots.

This routine may be extended to randomly sculpt the height of the terrain near the edge. This will have the coast edge at low level (1-3), rising in smoothed steps inland to about 15 tiles in. This should make it look as though the map has been built for the map size, rather than a slice through a larger map.

Please note that all the small numbers; 53, 101, 167, etc. are small primes to help give the perlin noise a bit more of a random feel.

static void HeightMapCurves | ( | uint | level | ) |
| static

Additional map variety is provided by applying different curve maps to different parts of the map.

A randomized low resolution grid contains which curve map to use on each part of the make. This filtered non-linearly to smooth out transitions between curves, so each tile could have between 100% of one map applied or 25% of four maps.

The curve maps define different land styles, i.e. lakes, low-lands, hills and mountain ranges, although these are dependent on the landscape style chosen as well.

The level parameter dictates the resolution of the grid. A low resolution grid will result in larger continuous areas of a land style, a higher resolution grid splits the style into smaller areas.

Parameters

  level | Rough indication of the size of the grid sections to style. Small level means large grid sections.

Basically scale height X to height Y. Everything in between is interpolated.

< The height to scale from.

< The height to scale to.

Helper structure to index the different curve maps.

< The length of the curve map.

< The actual curve map.

static void HeightMapGenerate | ( |  | ) |

This runs several iterations with increasing precision; the last iteration looks at areas of 1 by 1 tiles, the second to last at 2 by 2 tiles and the initial 2**MAX_TGP_FREQUENCIES by 2**MAX_TGP_FREQUENCIES tiles.

static void HeightMapSmoothSlopes | ( | height_t | dh_max | ) |
| static

This routine provides the essential cleanup necessary before OTTD can display the terrain.

When generated, the terrain heights can jump more than one level between tiles. This routine smooths out those differences so that the most it can change is one level. When OTTD can support cliffs, this routine may not be necessary.

The Perlin Noise calculation using large primes The initial number is adjusted by two values; the generation_seed, and the passed parameter; prime.

prime is used to allow the perlin noise generator to create useful random numbers from slightly different series.

  true if within the map

static double perlin_coast_noise_2D | ( | const double | x,

This is a similar function to the main perlin noise calculation, but uses the value p passed as a parameter rather than selected from the predefined sequences.

as you can guess by its title, i use this to create the indented coastline, which is just another perlin sequence.

static height_t RandomHeight | ( | amplitude_t | rMax | ) |

Parameters

  rMax | Limit of result

Returns
  generated height

static height_t TGPGetMaxHeight | ( |  | ) |
| static

Gets the maximum allowed height while generating a map based on mapsize, terraintype, and the maximum height level.

Returns
  The maximum height for the map generation.

Note
  Values should never be lower than 3 since the minimum snowline height is 2.

Desired maximum height - indexed by:

- _settings_game.difficulty.terrain_type
- min(MapLogX(), MapLogY()) - MIN_MAP_SIZE_BITS

It is indexed by map size as well as terrain type since the map size limits the height of a usable mountain. For example, on a 64x64 map a 24 high single peak mountain (as if you raised land 24 times in the center of the map) will leave only a ring of about 10 tiles around the mountain to build on. On a 4096x4096 map, it won't cover any major part of the map.

< Flat

< Hilly

< Mountainous
