Ayrton Orio Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I was wondering if it would be possible to train an algorithm to turn satellite views and turn them into PZ maps a bit like on the attached picture. If you were to have a larger choice in the tiles you can generate (maybe having tiles, woods, pavement, road lines, some objects, vegetation type, etc) you could generate maps based on the actual real world data. There is probably issues regarding the IP of the data though (for sure). And if you were to couple that with tools similar to what was shown in the creative mod preview, you could essentially generate a map from any part of the world... Training the algorithm would take some time and require a lot of man hours but it would also take advantage of the existing community's work and expand on it.

Хибити\Hibiti [BLR] Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 developers need to create more types of fields, biomes and trees. Then you can create a more realistic landscape. And buildings from real life can already be transferred to PZ, it will only have to stylize them a little. I would recommend the developers to add a ford on which you can move (the player’s model moves more slowly and sinks to the waist in water).

Ayrton Orio Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 The machine will never do everything, it's only an idea that could use deep learning to expand on existing work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Cox1911 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Back in the old days there already was a User who created a Google Maps converter. I'm on my Smartphone right now, but I can look for it when I'm home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoahe Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 It was stated already that there will be no random map generation in this game. https://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/192-commonly-suggested-suggestions Although, it would be a cool toolkit for map makers.

Ayrton Orio Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 it's not random though, it's data driven. A random map would absolutely suck i agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Cox1911 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Sorry for taking so long, but here is the thread: Unfortunately the download link is dead and I can't find the file on my PC (think I have lost it one time I formatted my PC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbeard has it on google drive in this thread. I couldn't get the tool to actually do anything helpful, chrome gave me some generic errors.

The system exists and used by major companies like Apple Maps and Google Maps already. That is how they are able to have accurate maps on roadways for quite a while now .

Dr_Cox1911 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Ah, thanks! Didn't look into the building link because I thought it only includes buildings, not tools. Will try it the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
