Long

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-03

Overview

This file defines a static map room layout named long, used by the Archive world generation system in DST. It specifies the arrangement of background tiles (via a grid of tile IDs) and foreground objects (placed as named entities with properties) within a 32x32 tile layer. It is consumed by the world generation system to instantiate the room during map construction and does not function as an ECS component or runtime entity.

Usage example

This file is not instantiated directly by modders at runtime. It is loaded by the world generation system and used to build Archive-specific hallway rooms. Modders would reference this layout when designing custom rooms or overriding Archive layouts via static_layouts configuration.

-- This file is metadata for map generation, not a component to be used directly.
-- No runtime Lua code interacts with it via inst:AddComponent.

Data structure details

Background tile layer (BG_TILES)

• Type: tilelayer
• Size: 32×32 tiles
• Data: A flat Lua array of 1024 tile IDs (row-major order), mostly 0 (empty), with repeating patterns of IDs 1 and 42 at specific row positions, suggesting wall or feature placement.

Foreground object layer (FG_OBJECTS)

• Type: objectgroup
• Contents:
  • archive_pillar (2 instances) – placed at coordinates (97,224) and (352,223)
  • archive_chandelier (1 instance) – placed at (222,257)
  • archive_moon_statue (2 instances) – placed at (151,321) and (293,127)
  • creature_area (1 instance) – rectangular area (170,150) to (304,317)
  • archive_security_waypoint (1 instance) – placed at (257,256)
  • mothden_area_low (1 instance) – rectangular area (137,105) to (174,235)
  • wall_stone_2 (11 instances) – small wall segments along top and bottom edges (y≈72 and y≈377), some with data.gridnudge = "true"
  • wall_ruins_2 (2 instances) – damaged walls at top and bottom with data.health.percent = "1"
  • archive_sound_area (1 instance) – rectangular area (138,116) to (314,398)

All object coordinates are in pixels. Object sizes are typically zero (width/height = 0) for point-like placements, with explicit dimensions for area types (e.g., creature_area).
