Hi,

I m a newbie Honey Hexer. I have the framework and the map editor. I m a software engineer that have C#,C++,Java background. But i have never played with 3d stuff. I decided to start my RTS game that i have planned for 2 years. The first challange is map generation. After searching 2 weeks, I decided to use Honey Hex and to be a Honey Hexer. Everyday I spend at least 4 hours for learning Honey Hex framework to understand how it works both code behind and in unity.

The first question is; because of all math stuffs in code behind are hex-based, the world shape is always a 'big hex' isnt it? When i generate maps with different radiuses, terrains changes but world shape is always like that,

Simply how can i make rectangular world shape and modify it with map editor to make it simiilar to some country's shape (for example USA) ?

Actually i mean, i want to make a map like (but more detailed one),

www.google.com.tr/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fideoservo.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F10%2FEuropeHexMapGenDemo01.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fideoservo.com%2F2014%2F10%2F&docid=ag4GZJ82LzXdaM&tbnid=ldLyKA-ThFntMM%3A&w=400&h=250&ved=0ahUKEwizqofhv7rKAhUCSBoKHUyqAwAQxiAIBzAF&iact=c&ictx=1

Excuse me if i asked a dumb question but i m trying to learn this framework.

Thanks.

I think if this is your first heavy encounter with 3d it would be very heavy

because coordinates in hex space are not 3d even when they are using 3 coordinates.

Image you have shown is done using Honey, but instead of filling "radius" with terrain it fills space with different types. You do not have to use water only outside the radius as it is done at the moment, you can instead using terrain definition editor add another copy of "water" which is not in "border" mode.

Also I recommend that you manually type some terrain types for small radius as it will let you learn easier (eg producing flat world and changing something into mountain at position x, y, z, allows you to get familair with coordinate system, check how it is done in examples from CameraComtroller class. One of the commented out examples rebuilds hex which you click with mouse, you can override it to do rebuild and speicified by you position.

Its a good start, and I wish you good luck!

Hi Kash!

Thanks for your reply. I think nothing is impossible in computer-software world (if we really love the computer science and if we can think analytically.) Before importing honey framework i have already read your documentation about x,y,z coords. in hex world.

Last night I tried hard to make my own map until 4:30 a.m. And was able to make with copying generated chunks and changing their x and z axes. At first i go t my rectangular shape then using the map editor and different textures now i have really nice map.

I think digging in to the depth provide experience in 3d stuff. I m at the beginning but i will never give up.

Thanks.

Do something like this:
for(int i = minX; i < maxX; ++i)
for(int j = minY; j < maxY; ++j)
{
int x = i;
int y = j - upperHalf(i);
int z = -j - lowerHalf(i);
Vector3i v = new Vector3i(x, y, z);
hexes.Add(v, GetHexDefinition());
}

worth to try but whats the means of upperHalf
