Thanks for the link, great shots. The sandworms are terrific :)) Btw do you know how to enable sloped terrain blocks in the latest version? The UI changed significantly, is it done by enabling a particular mod now?

Thanks. Now, if I can only get it all to work together...texmex wrote:Looks very good, duane!

You need a mod that lets you label geographic features as you come to them, then puts the names on your maps.ShadMOrdre wrote:And so I don't blow up the androids of the world....
It depends on what features you request. If you want river those start on a hill and go downwards (never upwards) to a shore, I don't think it's possible in a mapgen using perlin noise. There are a few mapgens generating rives which respect terrain, i.e. the river height varies according to the terrain. IIRC, there are only two: valleys and terrainbrot.ShadMOrdre wrote:I need a good rivers mod. hint hint....
I don't know about terrainbrot, but valleys figures out where the rivers are going, then builds the terrain around them. I can't imagine trying to do it the other way around.Hume2 wrote:It depends on what features you request.

Why not? Imo it'd me much more natural than creating closed up into more or less enclosed circular shapes ends of riverbeds. I do understand that for some reasons this could make shaping of terrain easier, but to achieve really good visual and realistic results the whole process should be done reverse: creating mountain first, then placing river source and then eroding a slope to create a true riverbed. This, of course, would be time-costly and a player would have to wait a little bit to see the final version of the landscape, but at least for the sake of the map generator art it's definitely worth trying out. Simple cellular automata mechanics would solve the issue.duane wrote: I don't know about terrainbrot, but valleys figures out where the rivers are going, then builds the terrain around them.

Another option would be making a small world and then enlarging it and increasing accurancy. It would be nice to have such mapgen but I think, it would take far more time.voxelproof wrote: Why not?

The upper course of a stream, before becoming a larger river would look like that (sometimes valleys mg locally follows the rules of gravity):
This is terrainbrot. It is also the mapgen used on my server. Rivers of terrainbrot are sometimes closed into a loop and sometimes they really begin on a hill and end in a sea. However, they don't neccesarily follow the direction of valleys.voxelproof wrote: Btw, what is Terrainbrot?
