TremGen: the random map generator

[Tom]

I remember that in 2007 a ​​group of French students and their professor devised a random map generator for Tremulous, here are some links but most are in French:

Hey @Tom, I know I come more than four years after your post, but I recovered the original subversion repository to make a git one , and I fixed some code to make it build on modern toolchains, so code TremGen code is now uploaded there: github.com/illwieckz/TremGen.

If I find time I will probably update the build process to use Urcheon to build the map, but I don't know yet if one day I will try to improve it. I just touched it because I was nostalgic of that era.

By the way we have a 0.51 release to publish so that TremGen stuff is really not on my priority list.

Hey @illwieckz,

No problem, I still wander 4 years after!

[…] I fixed some code to make it build on modern toolchains […] I just touched it because I was nostalgic of that era. […]

I for one am also nostalgic of this era – Tremulous golden age – glad you have dig up this old gem!

By the way we have a 0.51 release to publish so that TremGen stuff is really not on my priority list.

Wow nice! Can’t wait to put my hands on 0.51! I agree TremGen is not something of major importance yet a good memory of the past.

Keep up the good work, see you in game!
