Wilderness system
Evennia contrib - titeuf87 2017
This contrib provides a wilderness map. This is an area that can be huge where
the rooms are mostly similar, except for some small cosmetic changes like the
room name.
## Usage
This contrib does not provide any new commands. Instead the default `py` command
is used.
A wilderness map needs to created first. There can be different maps, all
with their own name. If no name is provided, then a default one is used. Internally,
the wilderness is stored as a Script with the name you specify. If you don't
specify the name, a script named "default" will be created and used.
py from evennia.contrib.grid import wilderness; wilderness.create_wilderness()
Once created, it is possible to move into that wilderness map:
py from evennia.contrib.grid import wilderness; wilderness.enter_wilderness(me)
All coordinates used by the wilderness map are in the format of `(x, y)`
tuples. x goes from left to right and y goes from bottom to top. So `(0, 0)`
is the bottom left corner of the map.
## Customisation
The defaults, while useable, are meant to be customised. When creating a
new wilderness map it is possible to give a "map provider": this is a
python object that is smart enough to create the map.
The default provider, `WildernessMapProvider`, creates a grid area that
is unlimited in size.
`WildernessMapProvider` can be subclassed to create more interesting maps
and also to customize the room/exit typeclass used.
There is also no command that allows players to enter the wilderness. This
still needs to be added: it can be a command or an exit, depending on your
needs.
## Example
To give an example of how to customize, we will create a very simple (and
small) wilderness map that is shaped like a pyramid. The map will be
provided as a string: a "." symbol is a location we can walk on.
Let's create a file world/pyramid.py:
```python
map_str = '''
.
...
.....
.......
'''
from evennia.contrib.grid import wilderness
class PyramidMapProvider(wilderness.WildernessMapProvider):
def is_valid_coordinates(self, wilderness, coordinates):
"Validates if these coordinates are inside the map"
x, y = coordinates
try:
lines = map_str.split("\n")
# The reverse is needed because otherwise the pyramid will be
# upside down
lines.reverse()
line = lines[y]
column = line[x]
return column == "."
except IndexError:
return False
def get_location_name(self, coordinates):
"Set the location name"
x, y = coordinates
if y == 3:
return "Atop the pyramid."
else:
return "Inside a pyramid."
def at_prepare_room(self, coordinates, caller, room):
"Any other changes done to the room before showing it"
x, y = coordinates
desc = "This is a room in the pyramid."
if y == 3 :
desc = "You can see far and wide from the top of the pyramid."
room.ndb.active_desc = desc
```
Note that the currently active description is stored as `.ndb.active_desc`. When
looking at the room, this is what will be pulled and shown.
> Exits on a room are always present, but locks hide those not used for a
> location. So make sure to `quell` if you are a superuser (since the superuser ignores
> locks, those exits will otherwise not be hidden)
Now we can use our new pyramid-shaped wilderness map. From inside Evennia we
create a new wilderness (with the name "default") but using our new map provider:
py from world import pyramid as p; p.wilderness.create_wilderness(mapprovider=p.PyramidMapProvider())
py from evennia.contrib import wilderness; wilderness.enter_wilderness(me, coordinates=(4, 1))
## Implementation details
When a character moves into the wilderness, they get their own room. If
they move, instead of moving the character, the room changes to match the
new coordinates.
If a character meets another character in the wilderness, then their room
merges. When one of the character leaves again, they each get their own
separate rooms.
Rooms are created as needed. Unneeded rooms are stored away to avoid the
overhead cost of creating new rooms again in the future.
