[Mod] Experimental mapgen [mg]

Ehm... Ho do those cities generate or build? I've found none yet nor a command to force the generation of one

They generate naturally. You'll find one eventually

[mathiaswolfgang]

Is really easy to find a city.
Look at the Debug Text.
The first thing I see it this...

A village spawned at: x=-152 z=88

I do not see a city but I know where to look for it.
If there is no city at the beginning, then you are too far away from it.
Then choose one way and go it straight away.
Look at the debug window and you will find a city, believe me.



But I get a problem at the start again.
I spawned in earth again. Buried alive.

This is the Biomes o' Plenty Mod I was looking for!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Enke]

Very nice biomes mod.

[sfan5]

Support added for waving leaves

[viv100]

What is this mod works with NPCF???

[philipbenr]

I spawned in earth again. Buried alive.

If I create a new world, I always spawn underground/at water level.

How do I disable villages and related components?

The biome system was derived from this viewtopic.php?id=6736

... actually i'm in the mood for adding more biomes to that now.

[Nore]

D0431791: To disable villages, change the village_at_point function in villages.lua to:

Code: Select all

function village_at_point(minp, noise1)
    return 0,0,0,0
end

paramat: maybe we could work together on a new mapgen some day?

[paramat]

Yes of course 'new mapgen' is my thing

[jin_xi]

fuck yeah! nore and paramat mapgen!

[rubenwardy]

This is pretty awesome. I love map generation mods.

It keeps respawning a village it all ready created and I was over 500 blocks away.

This is causing server issues.

[Nore]

freejack, no, the village is not recreated... I know the messages are a bit misleading, but what happens when the message appears is just that is asked if there was a village to spawn here to check if terrain should be flattened, so nothing to worry about...

[prestidigitator]

I spawned in earth again. Buried alive.

If I create a new world, I always spawn underground/at water level.

I suspect this might be because it is still trusting the C++ MapGen for "ground level". Somehow I doubt changing the heightmap array in "on generate" callbacks will be reflected in the actual ground level afterward, but I COULD be wrong.

[webdesigner97]

Very cool mapgen! I love it!

[meldrian]

sweet! A great a idea, brings more adventure into this open world building game.

[Novacain]

overpopulation? I think that there would only be a certain amount of NPC's with a limited lifetime... But I might be wrong...

A solution for over population could be that NPCs must be within X distance of spawner, and spawner can only generate Y NPCs.

As a seperate idea, the spawner could be designed to look like a bed, so they are more incognito.

I've been thinking of something similar for the peaceful_npc. They do not need to roam the entire map. If there's more of them in towns then that's fine. Unfortionately, peaceful_npc are not the most intelligent and drown often, so the loss rate is quite high.

As a seperate idea, the spawner could be designed to look like a bed, so they are more incognito.

I had planned something like that for my villages. Unfortionately it doesn't work - the space above the bed is too tight in my cottages for the mobs to stand on (their collusion box is always vertical even when the animation is diffrent).

[twoelk]

so always spawn besides the footend? or search for enough air nodes?

[prestidigitator]

So I've completed a simplex noise algorithm (basically Perlin Noise v3) in pure Lua. Running luajit from the command line, it can generate a single 2D chunk of 80x80 noise values in just over 1 millisecond, and a single 3D chunk of 80x80x80 noise values in approximately 0.25 seconds. For real mapgen this would probably have to be done a few times for multiple octaves and probably different ore types (caves, etc.) and such, but IMO it's getting competitive enough to be worth the flexibility of doing things purely from mod code, especially because it doesn't mean having to get C++ changes past the dev team....

I generated an 1600x96x1600 map today and made an overview map:

Edit: This is not the full map, for the full map see viewtopic.php?pid=134164#p134164

Looks fine. It seems far more structured/less small-scale than the usual mapgen.
