Thank you! I will :)

I like the idea! Probably not so easy to implement, but I hope someone mages to do it :)

I apologize if it is a bit unclear but it shouldn't be missing anything. It needs to be followed closely to achieve the same result. The sprite contains the image that we use to create the shape of the mesh, in this case the image of a star. However it doesn't need to be hidden or present in the tree after the mesh is created, you could free it from queue after its processed.

@@GSInteractive Do you have a video that explains how to make a v2array and how you made the image file?

Unfortunately, if its too big then its too big... Remember that it loops through every pixel, so it gets exponentially heavier the bigger the picture is. But I have successfully done tests doing images that are 1024 x1080, which is quite large( 1105920 pixels).

@@GSInteractive i understand thx

Thank you for providing!

No problem

Thank you!

Thanks so much 😊

Hard to say what's wrong based of this, but I hope you figured it out. Best advice is just to follow every step closely

Please elaborate and I'll see if I can help

Hi :) Not sure what borders you refer to, but none of the tiles are placed by hand.

Thank you so much 😀

One commenter has posted the import_file function, hope it helps you :)

@@GSInteractive okay

I have some plans for a more extensive tutorial in the future that will cover such topics

Did you find any solution to this? The problem is most likely with the algorithm behind the "opaque_to_polygons" method, but I'm not sure how to deal with it.

I found the solution (provided that we had the same one). Apparently that method doesn't like it when the background is completely transparent. I changed it to a colour that is not present in the json file, and it works like a charm!

@@vextronx i changed the original so much now that it hardly looks the same, but my general strategy was checking if there was more than one polygon (if the array was larger than 1) Finding the polygon in the array of polygons with the biggest size(number in array) and then setting the whole array of polygons to one polygon which works but you have to set it up. Then i added 1 to the Z-level so its always above and none of the extra bits get hidden.

Glad that you found a solution :)

Unfortunately not, but if you follow it closely it should work as expected

So far... :D

i changed to 4.2.2

Good! I hope that solved it for you

Thank you!

Thank you so much! If there's enough demand for it I will make one down the line :)

@@GSInteractiveI just noticed the thumbnail and it’s hilarious 😂that 😂

@@GSInteractive I would love i full tutorial on this!!

Glad to hear that!

To learn Godot?

@@GSInteractive to learn procedural geometry

@@Boildroid I don't know of any good books, in my case I used the Godot documentation to learn it. In addition to the docs they even have a tutorial with examples: docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/3d/procedural_geometry/surfacetool.html

@@GSInteractive Thanks.

Hehe, that's the goal!

Hi! If you need specifics, feel free to ask and I'll try to help :)

I need web view plug infor godot 4

Hi! It seems to be a mismatch between the colors you chose and the one in the dictionary. In your example it is looking for the color #1fbc1f in the dictionary. My advice is to check all colors in the image and make sure they align with the colors in the dictionary.

Happy to hear it! Would love to see if you yet have something to showcase

5 years... then you should be almost done with the tutorial by now

@@GSInteractive I did a few of the tutorial missions, but I never did go back and finish them, lol. that's probably the hardest part of 4x game design, making it fun, complex AND intuitive

Thank you! hard to say without more to go on, but try to print the pixel color dictionary and see if it appends coordinates? sounds like it overwrites and store only one coordinate per color.

@@GSInteractive sorry I'm a complete beginner in Godot and coming from languages like c++ dictionaries make my head hurt, I found the issue though! apparently: if pixel_color not in pixel_color_dict: pixel_color_dict[pixel_color] = [] pixel_color_dict[pixel_color].append(Vector2(x,y)) ( this was indented to be part of the if statement thus it would only append the first pixel_coordinates it found lol since the second time around it wouldn't fit the requirements, reason why I still think this kind of indentation syntax should be illegal!) thank you so much!

it all starts with a desire. I have some tutorials here to get you started. I advice you just to play around and learn Godot, once you get a hang of it you can get your ideas to life :)

Thank you :) Glad it was helpful!

S.O.S even! Just to double-check, you clicked the remote tab and not the local? If so, the problem is most likely either that there are no values in the dictionary it is looping through or that it doesn't instantiate the region scene. My advice is to first put a print inside the loop to try and find the error.

@@GSInteractive I forgot to put in the ready fuction: func _ready(): LoadRegions()

@@GSInteractivewhat if loop don’t work

Hello and good luck to you as well! I am planning on releasing a new devlog soon, where I will dive more into the 3D development part. Hopefully there will be something you can build on yourself :)

Thank you! I am not sure i totally understand your concept, but Godot have great drawing capabilities, if that is what you're looking for :)

@ractive yeah kinda, my main thought was players themselves would be able to draw the subdivisions within their country, instead of having to rely on a set province/state system. think hoi4 style front line but free form and for provinces instead. then use noise maps to define how much eco. population, etc; within those player defined zones. you could try to attach mechanics to it, say small zones are more efficiently influenced and built up but less impactful overall. you could assign governors to zones to better connect internal politics, have it based on government type. idk if i explained any better the second time but hopefully. it would be much better for internal management and economy, a weak point in alot of strategy games.

This is just a devlog, but the script is more or less what I have done in my tutorial series: czcams.com/video/n3FvvmBDvBY/video.html Panel_validation is just a container containing a button that triggers a validation function. It is a function that checks the values in my regions.txt.

Thank you and right back! Hope I will see some content from you one day :)

Same, I also have the same goal but I am way behind than both of you! Anyways good luck to us, I say. Thanks for uploading!

Thank you for the motivational booster! :)

My pleasure! There's more on the way ;)

Thank you for contributing, it's appreciated!

I choose Godot not because its better, but because its open source and very lightweight, I store the whole project on Github and work seamlessly between computers, even low-end laptop. Unity is more mature and you'll probably find more map strategy games made with it (For now...) But in the end I don't think it really matters what tool you use, they are both suited for the job. If you do choose Godot, I'll be happy to do some knowledge-sharing. Best of luck!

@GSInteractive thanks for reply. I am thinking to do very easy low graphic mobile turn based strategy game where you can build your cities , grow your economy and build armies with movement points. Same like total war but battles also will be 2D. Can you make a tutorial like this too 👉👈❤️❤️❤️

@@relunxet Like the idea! I'd love to see it when you come to that stage of development

@GSInteractive hello, sir. Is there any discord server for game developers that I can get help from others? I really would like to do it but dont know many things

Glad to hear it! I am working on it, it just takes time to figure stuff out. Its unfortunately very little material out there regarding maps like this.

Yes pls
