Bukkit

@deleted_6846210 Yes the reason I want to lower the map is to gain building height. Thats why raising the water level isnt going to do it for me :)

Thank Your for the examples and the link to the reworked results page.

@rvarnell Thanks I will try that.

@deleted_6846210 I like it more difficult if it solves my problem :) I've already played with each biome file to change individual rarity and size. But I never realy understood how to apply the BiomeHeight value properly.

@deleted_6846210

I've been able to get rivers to appear consistently at a WaterLevelMax:30 map.

Using BiomeHeight in each Biome File, I set rivers and oceans to -1.9, and low lands (like Plains ) to -1.6 or -1.7.

Once that's done, Mysource's rarity settings are spot on. At GenerationDepth 13 maps now, I'm using RiverRarity:4, RiverSize:2 to create wide rivers that don't wind too much through the landmass. I like the occasional river as biome border, but I love it when it it's not 100% of the time.

Got a problem...

Im trying to create a world with:

• few rivers and small "oceans" (about 200-500 max length)
• average groundlevel of about 30. Default is 64 i think and as far as I understood the config I have to adjust the waterlevelmax value.

I made a world with a waterlevelmax value of 80 for mining and everything went fine. The new world (3000x3000 generated) just has no river / ocean at all.

• GenerationDepth:12
• BiomeRarityScale:50
• LandRarity:96
• LandSize:3
• LandFuzzy:4
• IceRarity:10
• IceSize:4
• FrozenRivers:false
• FrozenOcean:false
• RiverRarity:4
• RiverSize:1
• RiversEnabled:true
• NormalBiomes:Desert,Forest,Extreme Hills,Swampland,Plains,River
• WaterLevelMax:30

Another question: How can I reduce the ponds in plains biomes?...bigger biomes have like a few 100 in them.

@JoneKone

FK YES no more stupid snow workaround and weather hacks on custom worlds :), probably THE best NEWS to come out since the stuff about a new biome and rainforest cats :).

This means we dont need any more silly tweaks for custom maps we can control with TerrainControl the biome type per custom biome, I assume the color will be server end as well so that means no more odd colors like mix shaded terrain due mix match of biome type, Means that swamps water will be in swamps properly, I hope this will not require a new world I don't think it will though, I think the region files will update and as long as terraincontrol has updated to 1.2 before we swap to 1.2 we can go into out configs and setup the biome data for our custom biome and it should all take effect as it reads the Terraincontrol data for the world during the conversion process.

This means we will see our popular mob control plugins possibly be able to control what biome a mob will spawn in since bukkit will need to have biome events that we then could hook into to check the biome type and all sorts of tings like better seasons for example.

This really is most exciting news for us fellow custom world creators :).

This is from Jebs Twitter.

"Biome data will be saved with the chunks in the new world format. Tool makers can probably use this to restore old maps."

I'm thinking making custom biomes will be =D easy! now.. And they work on vanilla clients!

Having a huge problem :s We are working on a new map for the server and i finally have it all done. And then we went arround a bit and founda lot chunks with hunderds of mobs. and when i dod /killall it killed 12k mobs while there where only 3 ppl on the server. Here a screenshot of one of the chunks. (click to see larger) <A HREF="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44587676/2012-02-10_03.44.12.png"> Please let me know if i did anything wrong or fix the plugin. we cant use this if it stay like this all mobs will create tons of lag, We planned to change this weekend so i hope it can be fixed before that. Maybe add for each biome a list of mobs and how much of each type can spawn in each biome.

By the way Mysource -

The updated "Results" page Tutorial is AWESOME!

Thank you.

Mysource -

I'm using Bukkit 1.1 and TC 1.x.14, and I'm still having a regular problem when I change BiomeRarity in individual biome files to values lower than 100.

(And yes, I"m making lots of backups and changing only one or two values at a time...I know the drill. :) )

I'm trying to use rarities to make (for example) deserts not appear very often. I'll have the world generating just nicely with Deserts at Rarity of 100, and then will set Rarity to 10. Ocean world. I'll up it to 50. Fixed. I'll lower it to 40. Ocean World. I'll lower it to 30, Desert World. I'll raise it to 60. Ocean World.

Two questions: 1) How do you work around this? Just trial and error? 2) In your experience, is this better in 2.0? (I don't have a live server yet, so will probably start beta-testing with 2.0.6 tonight.)

Thanks!

@Khoorn

Mobs list for biomes! YES YES YES! Save me from having to dig up other plug-ins for this!

Go, Khoorn Go!

I suddenly got a ton of problems.

I redownloaded the mod, reinstalled it.

Everytime I generate new worlds I get a world free of any trees, grass or flowers.Snow cover is also no where to be seen.

Whenever I want to create a single biome world, by only leaving the wanted biome in the NormalBiome, I get multiple small chunks in a very small location.

Please help

@minechomp

I like the idea.

Please check this out and tell me if you think it is a good idea: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/terrain-control/forum/32277-temperature-biome-distribution/#p1

@worstboy32

Make a BO2 tree with vines on it. Other than that, don't know what to tell ya......

@minechomp

Thats not what i want :s
Need to make a jungle biome.
