Summary
Infrastructure "Support more neighbours in jmapgen_nested for mapgen that depends on diagonal adjacency"
Purpose of change
In some cases to make mapgen work well requires knowing your diagonal neighbours as well as cardinal ones.
Requested by @John-Candlebury.
Describe the solution
Previously only the cardinal directions and above were supported; now all eight horizontal neighbours, above, and below are.
Simplified the implementation of
neighborhood_check
at the same time.Describe alternatives you've considered
Supporting diagonal non-horizontal neighbours too (like
above_north
) but I don't think we have a use case for such as yet.Testing
I tweaked the definition of Aftershock's formless ruins to experiment, and it seems to work as expected.
Additional context
@John-Candlebury if you'd like to thank me for this feature, then feel free to write some documentation for the
"neighbours"
feature. I don't think there's any mention of it in the docs at all right now.
