Map generation limit setting: Please update

by paramat » Post

The 'map_generation_limit' setting has been moved to a per-world mapgen parameter, it will now be stored in a world's 'map_meta.txt' file like this:

Code: Select all

chunksize = 5
mapgen_limit = 31000
mg_biome_np_heat = {
	flags = defaults
	lacunarity = 2
	octaves = 3
	offset = 50
	persistence = 0.5
	scale = 50
	seed = 5349
	spread = (1000,1000,1000)
}
mg_biome_np_heat_blend = {
	flags = defaults
	lacunarity = 2
	octaves = 2
	offset = 0
...
Your existing worlds will have the new mapgen parameter line added to their 'map_meta.txt' when you update to the new MT engine version, and the default value of 31000 will be set.
If you have an existing world with a non-default mapgen limit you will need to add a line like this to your minetest.conf file before rejoining the world in the new MT engine version:

Code: Select all

mapgen_limit = 4500
The desired value will then be set.
