Obsidian Level Generator - A continuation of Oblige + ObAddon

dasho

Obsidian is a fork of the last release of Oblige Level Maker, combined with the community content pack formerly known as ObAddon. Notable changes/improvements to Oblige include:

Reworked GUI, with window resizing, sliders, checkboxes, and customizable themes
"Surprise Me" options to randomize settings
UDMF map output for supported engines
Basic support added or restored for Chex Quest 3, HacX 1.2, Harmony, Hexen and Strife
Bundled SLUMP map generator to produce maps compatible with vanilla Doom limits
Migration from Lua to LuaJIT for improved generation speeds
Improved random number generator with 64-bit seeds and number output
Ability to use strings as seeds for the RNG, or have random words selected for you
Improved support for alternate locales (accents in Windows file paths, translation templates , etc.)
Near-complete Russian translation file out-of-the-box
First-run tutorial for new users
Optional PK3/ZIP compression of output

Precompiled 32 and 64-bit Windows packages can be found on our Releases page; compilation instructions are provided for Linux and BSD users. At the moment, I recommend the V20 "Unstable" release...despite the name, it is soon to become the current Stable release.

Support can be found on either our Discord or our GitHub Issue Tracker.

Neat! I'll have to play with this sometime.

I remember playing some Zandronum servers that ran maps generated with Obsidian and ObAddon, they actually got pretty fun! It's worth it to play around with it for at least a little.

I’m definitely gonna be giving this a spin. Love a good bit of Oblige stuff.

We're already working on the Obsidian 21 roadmap, which should have among other things UDMF-formatted prefabs. This would open up a lot of possibilities for supported ports. I'd like to see Quake and Duke Nukem reach a basic level of support. The program can TECHNICALLY create maps for them right now, but the quality is nowhere good enough to expose to the end user yet.
