Disable generating of Big Oceans.

[Lejo]

I still tried to just delete all *_ocean biomes, the Oceans are now smaller, but the beach looks like this:

Is there any better way to disable big oceans?

[Krock]

It's only a workaround but you could try to set the water level to -10m.

[Lejo]

Thanks for the Idea!
Now I get this:

Can I disable this Unterwater things?

[GreenXenith]

You could make a quick mod to aliase coral nodes to air.

[TumeniNodes]

or, you could experiment with the params to expand the land, (along with lowering the water level as Krock said)
use spflags to remove ridges, etc...

(side note:) it would be nice to have a more end-user friendly way to use the mapgen settings... using a gui

this could have been posted over at viewtopic.php?f=47&t=15272

give the thread a look over though to see if there is any info which might help

It works my Solution:

• Water level -60
• Disable Corrals and Kelps

PS: You can may get something like this(look at the y-coordinate)

[Lejo]

Better Soulution:
Set Water level to -120, because the underground biome starts at -113.
This prevents this(picture in previous post)

You can also do the same thing that was done with the corals. Replaced by air. Then the caves are still at the same height.

I can easily disable the oceans with water-level -60
But the rivers can't be disable so this results in this cliffs.
Is there any other way to disable the rivers?
Can I decreases the spawn rate of oceans?
The Problem is that every where oceans should be is sand....sand...and sand.

Is there any other way to disable the rivers?

you have to look at the available flags for each mapgen.
as I said before, you can experiment with the parameters within each map
Some of the changes you are looking for you are going to need to experiment with mapgen.lua

if you ask these questions in the mapgen questions section (which I provided the link to earlier) they will be noticed better

The Problem is that every where oceans should be is sand....sand...and sand.

That's not the problem, that is how it is coded to work by default. You have to make changes.
there are some I believe you can make using the config file, but not all

[Lejo]

Thanks!
noridges works good!

Indeed removing the 'ocean' biomes does not remove oceans, that's not how the biomes work.
Lowering 'water_level' causes many problems like huge beaches and corals/kelp in air. The correct way to reduce the area of water is to instead raise the terrain by altering the parameters and noise parameters for the mapgen, it's not easy though.
