Tutorial: Map Script - Introduction

Dynamic maps in OpenClonk are generated using Map Scripts. The Map Script provides the scenario designer with a powerful tool to create random, dynamic and most of all interesting landscapes. Let's first discuss the advantages of dynamic maps over static maps (those that are drawn using a Map.bmp file).

• Map Scripts maps are fully written in script and allow the developer full control over the map generation.
• With Map Scripts you can generate fully dynamic and random maps, which give scenarios certain replay value and challenge.
• Since Map Scripts are written in script, the designer can adjust the map generation depending on certain settings like difficulty and size.
