Re: [Mod] River / mountain range mapgen [0.4.3] [watershed]
Version 0.4.3
Not very exciting but a significant increase in mapgen speed so i should mention it.
I recently discovered the voxelmanip volume always includes a one mapblock (16^3 nodes) thick shell around the mapchunk (80^3 nodes) being generated, this explains why my trees are rarely chopped off when extending beyond the mapchunk being generated.
This enables me to use the voxelmanip instead of 'minetest.get_node' for scanning the chunk below to see if it is generated, and to set the initial values of the stability table for each xy plane being generated. On my slow laptop this is saving 0.5 seconds in a 4 second mapchunk generation time.
Another minor change is i am using the 'sidelen' variable instead of '80', so the mapgen should be compatible with a configured mapchunk size other than 5 mapblocks, although beware the spawnplayer function is still dependant on a mapchunk size of 5 mapblocks.

WOW! Kudos to you, Paramat! this map gen is out of this world! I was trying to creep out way away from 0,0,0 and found this at 7000 nodes away:
I am so glad I found this mod, these are the landscapes I want to build on!

Re: [Mod] River / mountain range mapgen [0.4.3] [watershed]
The Pieces are Finally Coming Together
For quite a long while now, I've been evaluating and collecting mods to combine into one, special, main, singleplayer world that I could retreat to and relax in.
Watershed's mapgen is the foundation of that new world.
Now if you've ever tried to add landscape mods to Watershed generated world, you will have discovered that Watershed is incompatible with most of them. The landscape mods require nodes that do not exist in Watershed. The landscape mods, including Watershed have to be customized to work together.
Back when Watershed was in it's v0.2.9 stage, I made an attempt to add my favorite tree and plant mods to Watershed. The results were encouraging. However, Watershed's development was still tumultuous so I decided to wait till things stabilized a bit.
About the time of v0.4.1, I felt comfortable enough with Watershed's stage of development to take another crack at setting things up. Finally I've been able put many of my notes and ideas into motion for this project.
The following screenshots are from the prototype, "scouting/surveying/overview-map making/planning" version of my new world. No builds, just beautiful scenery. (Three worlds total, a "tinkering" version for testing and trying mods, a "scouting" version for exploring, and the main world itself. Yeah, I'm serious about this project.)
Landscaping Mods Used
Many thanks to Blockmen/PilzAdam, MirceaKitsune, Mossmanikin, Bas080, VanessaE, and especially paramat for creating the mods that make my long-time Minetest dream a [virtual] reality. ; )
Fog Banks
One of the many features of Watershed are fog banks. Here is a day-time shot of a tiny island engulfed in a fog bank. On the island is a solitary, MoreTrees fir tree. The island next to it has apple trees from MoreTrees. In the background is a Watershed snow biome and conifers along with some MoreTrees spruce, firs, and pines. In the foreground left, are plants from two mods, Ferns and DryPlants.
On a Dark and Spooky Night...
The same scene in a night-shot. The fog makes things look more spooky at night. It would be great to be able to add this fog to haunted builds and graveyards.
Extreme and Fantastic
In the foreground are Watershed's signature acacia trees and drygrass. However, the most defining feature of them all is Watershed's extreme terrain. In the background you can see MoreTrees beech, oak, and giant sequoia trees growing atop of Watershed's high-altitude floatlands.
Serene and Not-So Extreme
Not all of Watershed's landscapes are extreme verticals. Watershed also generates rolling hills and vast seas. Here is a serene night-shot with acacia trees and drygrass in the foreground. Watershed's jungletrees, Fern's tree ferns, and MoreTrees palms from edge-to-edge in the middle-ground. paramat's fork of Conifers produced the tall, slender trees jutting out against the nighttime sky in the background.
Tinkering, Persistance, and Level-Upon-Level of Scenic Beauty
As you have seen already, Watershed and other flora mods can be made compatible with each other,... with some tinkering. Persistence pays off with views like this natural apple orchard at the base of floatlands, under a thick MInetest cloud, under the thin, cirrostratus clouds of Watershed, under even more plant and tree covered floatlands.
The Stuff Fantasy Stories are Made of
Looking down from far above, you can see that the high-altitude floatlands are by no means barren. Ranging from a small cluster of stone to islands large enough to build farms, villages, and towns on, Watershed's floatlands present many creative possibilities. Imagine connecting the populated islands with bridges, water ways, and fanciful airships. For the sculptors of Minetest, envision riding large, winged creatures from one floatland province to another.
Are You Up to the Challenge?
Watershed is a radical and stunning break from the typical mapgen that most Minetest players are accustomed to. Watershed embodies "epic".

Re: [Mod] River / mountain range mapgen [0.4.3] [watershed]
Those are some really cool screenshots, LazyJ! Looks like you've put a lot of work into making those mods work together well. Sounds like you also rather like the floatlands that appear in the skies. Have you considered trying to put an official (float/sky)land mod into your world? Last time I tested them, MoreTrees, plantlife, farming_plus (or at least its trees), and vines all do work in several of the biomes of SkyLands.
It will take a long time, if ever, for my prototype mapgen to get as good as watershed...

Re: [Mod] River / mountain range mapgen [0.4.3] [watershed]
Had a good look at this, and yes really like it, would have liked to use it on a server, but unfortunately due to mapgen time, I can't :(
Keep up the good work, I hope this gets to a point where it can be used as a replacement to mg. I did notice it overlays itself if you have mg running as well. found a mg snow layer underneath it.

Re: [Mod] River / mountain range mapgen [0.4.3] [watershed]
Good post LazyJ, stunning screenshots, i really like your translucent fog, by default i had to use opaque fog for speed.
Seems like a long time since i found a volcano, anyone else seen one? i may have set the parameter wrong, it's very sensitive to change, easy to make volcanos non-existant. I'm considering including volcanos into the minimap so they can be located. If i change the volcano parameter this is unlikely to result in any visible mess in your worlds as they are so rare.
Now a warning in the next version i am going to increase the scale of the biome noises temperature and humidity, this will cause a few straight-edged biomes, or you can continue to use the current parameters if you prefer. The full history of the mod is available at github so you can always find old parameters.

Re: [Mod] River / mountain range mapgen [0.5.0] [watershed]
Version 0.5.0 (0.5.x in progress)
'Update liquids' is now used to make rivers flow, therefore i have also made freshwater have a range of 2 instead of zero.
Adjusted volcano parameters to make them more common, they appear along mountain ridges spaced by roughly 1kn.
A new chat command '/regen' will regenerate the player's current chunk, requires 'server' or 'rollback' privs.
Soon there will also be a matching 'watershedmini' mod that is a 3D map of the watershed world with variable zoom. Currently that mod is here https://github.com/paramat/watershedmini but needs updating.
Biomes have now been doubled in size, those of you with existing worlds may prefer to continue to use the smaller biomes, if so edit the temperature and humidity noise parameters in the init.lua file, return the 'spread's to 512 like this:
Using the new biome size will cause a few straight edged biomes in your exisitng world, no other 0.5.0 changes will cause a visible mess in an existing world unless you're unlucky enough to have half a volcano form, but that is unlikely since they are so rare.
On my new computer (Intel Core i5-4670T processor) chunk generation time has dropped to roughly 2s.

Re: [Mod] River / mountain range mapgen [0.5.0] [watershed]
Added volcanos to the 3D map https://github.com/paramat/watershedmini
Also there is now a unique node for each of the 9 biomes, any biome with trees has that tree's leaves as the map node.
The default zoom factor is 16 so this is a mapblock resolution map. The map matches watershed 0.5.0 so just multiply map X and Z co-ordinates by 16 to get the corresponding co-ordinates in watershed.
Soon i will place the map high above the clouds and spawn the player there, currently having the clouds visible looks wrong and is a problem if you want to fly up and get an overhead view of the map.

At this time I don't have any plans to upload this personal-retreat project. I've set stuff up specifically for use only in a creative-mode, singleplayer world that, because of all the extra plant mods growing and decaying ABMs and other custom ABMs of my own, requires a strong computer.Inocudom wrote:LazyJ, do you plan to upload your modifications to watershed as a fork of it?
VanessaE and paramat have been chatting about mapgen stuff and her coding skills are light-years ahead of mine. If Vanessa wanted to setup of a Watershed-based server, she could do it very easily (and much better without my kludge code). ;)Inocudom wrote:... Even VanessaE might be interested in it if you do.

Well a lone sheep and a couple rats finally spawned, so it's at least partly compatible. Generating the landscape is really demanding on my ancient laptop so I was thinking it was only now getting around to the mobs?
It's definitely making it an interesting challenge to not starve to death (again lol) since I haven't found any apple trees yet. ;)

Re: [Mod] River / mountain range mapgen [0.5.0] [watershed]
I love the coal seams, but I'd like to find a way of having ores manifest in veins and come out nearer the surface (i.e. river valleys and such like). It's too disheartening to explore a whole fissure in the dark and find no ores at all. I'm finding it difficult to figure how densityper and ORETHI work together in order to change this and add more ores. I just downloaded HeroOfTheWinds "skylands" mod, which I will study for ideas.
I'm frustrated that it breaks nearly every other mod's register_on_generate hooks. It would be great if it were possible to get them to wait for this process to complete. I'm wondering how much pointless overwriting is happening if non-compatible mods are loaded.
The custom nodes are also irritating, but easier to change. ;-) I shall continue to resist the urge to write a mapgen from scratch. Thanks for an otherwise excellent mod. :-)

Re: [Mod] River / mountain range mapgen [0.5.0] [watershed]
My advice is head for high ground, eventually you will reach a mountain range with lots of exposed stone, so easier to find a coal seam to make your first torches.
To make the ore seams wider increase TSEAM to 0.4, this will double the seam widths (making them 1/3rd the volume of their strata) and increase the chance of them intersecting fissures, so easier to find. Increasing ORETHI makes the seams taller (more ores) but not any easier to find.
You need to set dependancies to run this mod before any 'add node' mods, see viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2290&p=154789#p154631

I'm now trying to figure how to do mountains (i.e. reducing vegetation & soil at higher elevations to reveal bare rock). Not quite as straightforward as I'd hoped.
Rivers aren't looking the way I want them - too much sand and too shallow. I'm getting some really wide shallow floodplains which look ugly. Also streams / rivers should have more bare rock in them and less sand at higher elevations. Could you explain how water level, sand-line and riverbed depth are calculated?

Soil already thins with altitude, but not completely.
Line 284, add a ' * 3' after the grad, this will make soil thin out at a lower altitude, or try ' * 4' for a lower altitude.
Line 276 controls the river channel cross section shape, try the following to change the shape of lowland river channels:
Lines 33 controls river depth:
The more negative -> deeper but also wider.
Line 281 controls river sand, try the following for less at high altitudes:
The whole river system was carefully tuned, each time you change one parameter you may need to adjust others to make things work.
Line 284, add a ' * 3' after the grad, this will make soil thin out at a lower altitude, or try ' * 4' for a lower altitude.

Code: Select all
local canexp = 0.75 + terblen * 0.25
