[Mod] Again a Lua mapgen [yappy]

[paramat]

I saw your yappy multiplayer map in IRC. Keeping trees away from chunk borders is unnecessary because your trees should not be cutoff along chunk borders, the voxelmanip volume actually extends one 16 nodes beyond the chunk edges. Trees only get cutoff if you are placing "air" during mapgen, this is unnecessary since in singlenode the chunk comes already filled with "air".
The latest screenshots look good.

Oh thanks for this note. But there was a time when the trees were cut-off along the mapblocks.
I had to use those codes to prevent from getting those ugly parts.

I think the next step is to copy the normal/jungle tree generation code and add compability with the current MTG this way.

EDIT:

Are you sure about what you said?

[paramat]

Yes i'm sure. Are you placing "air" in your mapgen? if not, do your trees check for "air" and "ignore" before placing? Outside the current mapchunk the tree nodes will be placed in "ignore" instead of "air". Also, if your trees exceed 16 nodes in height they will get chopped. That's all i can think of so far.

EDIT
All lines like this:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

if data[vil] == c_air then
    data[vil] = c_oak_tree
end

Should be:

Code: Select all

if data[vil] == c_air or data[vil] == c_ignore then
    data[vil] = c_oak_tree
end

Oh, that was the problem. I did not expect any ignore nodes inside the loaded area.

I got problems with the riesenpilz mapgen. Somehow for a reason I don't know the big mushrooms generating doesn't work correctly:

This is now my favourite mapgen :D
