[Mod] Ridges, rivers and paths mapgen [0.7.3] [riverdev]

[paramat]

I just remembered the reason why i disabled water flow: because it never seemd to flow at all, however i have also just realised why, 'update_liquids()' must be added at the end of the init.lua after 'write_to_map(data)'. I'll make this change to watershed too. Any liquid added by voxelmanip will not flow unless this line is added.

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

vm:write_to_map(data)
vm:update_liquids()

This is extremely good to know. I think I'll have to go add this to SkyLands, although I will admit that I've never had problems with liquid not flowing after being placed by mg. *shrugs* Still a good thing to have. And I WILL need it when I get around to updating CaveRealms again. ;)

0.5.4 ... lots of development currently, time for an update.
Big biomes: forest, grassland, taiga, snowyplains, jungle.
Boulders (inspired by Cube World)
Magma tunnels surrounded by obsidian, at the surface are created mini-volcanos.
The tunnels are now expanded into fissures or caves at places.

The underground mapgen will probably be ported back into watershed. This mapgen is essentially watershed without streams, with fewer biomes, and with paths added.

As a fan of exploration, this mod is amazing.

Just one thing tho, when I generated a new world with this mod, I got spawned inside a block

[paramat]

Agh ... i forgot to update the spawnplayer function, until then newly spawned players will need to enable freemove and fly to the surface.

0.5.5
Fixes the many bugs of 0.5.4.

^ Spiky volcano.

















^ One of those boulders inspired by the Cube World game.

Greetings. I am spawning inside blocks again on 0.4.10.

[paramat]

If you spawn below ground it means i have tuned the terrain but forgotten to update the spawnplayer function, enable 'freemove', switch 'noclip' if necessary and fly up. If you spawn high above ground disable damage and start a new world.
While i am tuning the terrain i sometimes don't bother updating the spawnplayer function because this is sometimes wasted work.

Version 0.7.2
Players should now spawn at the surface again.

[highbomber]

It works great!

Would it be possible to have an option to set a single spawning point? I like the idea of spreading out the spawns for new players, but I'd like a way to reduce the area or just have a single spawn for some servers.

This is a great map generator. Thanks a lot!

In the functions.lua file, in the spawnlayer function, set parameter PSCA = 0 (all spawns will be within one mapchunk) or whatever player scatter you prefer.
The problem is that since oceans can be very large, a small spawn area might be entirely in ocean, all you can do in this situation is try a few seeds until you get one that results in land spawns.

[highbomber]

I had to set PSCA = 1; otherwise I was consistently spawning underground. I still occasionally spawn underground on some seeds. After a few attempts I found a seed that worked and I liked and I don't seem to have any issues. Thanks!

[paramat]

Ah yes, sometimes a single mapchunk will be completely underground, resulting in underground spawns. If you have PSCA = 0 it should be possible to eventually find a seed that results in good spawns: a mapchunk in low terrain and not completely in ocean. The spawnplayer function is not as powerful as it could be but i'm not sure when or if i will improve it.

Version 0.7.3
Remove realm limits, fix lighting outside limits. Spawnplayer function: create noise objects only once, move to init.lua. New LGPL, CC BY-SA licenses. Improve code style. Add info to readme

[Don]

Keep up the great work! It is appreciated.
