About testing new versions .. i hope this will do not only you ;)

I hope too ;-)

So Khoorn, after a short test with TerrainControl v2.0.6 and using 1 to 1 the last creation of "Mayhem map", I could see nearly everything working okay, in this short 1. view.

"Only" these ugly, steppy / blocky parts show up in the map as a bad difference to TC v14.
May be it´s a problem with this/my specific map (there are configurated 2 empty layers far down in the worldConfig and these blocky parts are right at parts of the map which show "holes" down till bedrock)

I will use the v 2.0.6 now always to compare-test all maps I create in the future...and let You know for sure if something didn´t work identical.

Hi Khoorn,
I was talking about this here from Raws:
https://github.com/raws/bukkit-dumptruck

It´s old and no more working and by the way no jar to download...:-(
This:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/187737-minecraft-land-generator/
is working, but gives the to avoid ugly steps even in a pregenerated world new from scratch...and this way of no use in my eyes.

The one common and negative thing with all the "map-pregenerators" or "WorldPainter" and simmilar Tools and Mods is, that always ugly steps occure in the map after using this tools and use the map at the server after this.

It´s only partly satisfying usable, if a world (map) is created complete by using only ONE of the tools / mods and surround the world by a border (many possibilities to do this), so it isn´t possible to "travel" more far in game across this pregenerated points in the map.
All other ways leads directly to the ugly steps (even in the sea) at the point of new generated landmass in the map.

It´s no question why this allways occures (I assume, I know why), but if it is possible to avoid it, a working "map-pregenerator" would be much of use not only for myself, to cut down the creating time for the map-requests.
(to fly around though the worlds to build up the map and so to be able to control, if anything is building up to the wishes of the map-requesters, is the most time consumimng part in map creations till now).

I think You now know what I´m asking for ;-)

About separation: First - you may do this now - make one normal biome like neutral plains and spawn all other biomes as isles in this biome, this will make plains biome between all others.

Thanks, it´s so simple...but I may have "stood on my own feet", I really belive ;-)

Quote:

Second - i may add another mechanism, like minechomp proposed.

Okay, I´ll be curious about this...

Quote:

About old versions - i need help with test compatible. So if you see any wrong generation after version upgrade - show it me. I make this alpha and beta versions only for this.

I will do this more, I promise...but if someone "orders" a map, I will have to take always the save way to avoid getting complaints after...
I will countercheck more and more the v14 created configs comparing and using it in the dev version too and look, if everything seems to work same way = okay too.

And...by the way, thanks for "transmitting" (I think You did ?) the big map request from Mayhem (Savage Realms).
It´s finished now and You should´ve got Your % part in the meantime too ;-)

Hi ledhead900,
I don´t remember that You´ve asked me for this..but, best is to send me an Email with the regarding images in and I see what I can do.

To get Vulcanos is simple if You mean this:

You need to use OceanBiome.ini and:

BiomeHeight:-3.0

BiomeVolatility:2.0

SurfaceBlock:10

GroundBlock:1

and set this biome to a relatively small size.

Quote:

and the Spikey biome

I don´t know which biome You´re really thinking of?
As I told, send me an Email please containing all the Images You want to get the regarding configs.

@Jythri

Hi,
how do You convert .schematic to bo2 ?
(... do You have a (compiled) tool for doing this?)
I´m by far not the only one to never get this done...

Please tell more about Your conversion procedure here to all of us.

Hi Khoorn,
...but never ever drop the bo2 support in TC-Mod.

With the bo2 support, nearly everything is possible.
An additional .schematic support...okay, if it doesn´t hurt anything.

A "wish" from myself if possible for an extension of the TC-plugin:

I know that Raws did some "Pregenerator" for the map, but everything seems to be 100% outdated and not working with the newer TC Versions.

But, try this only to implement if it´s not producing the ugly steps in the map like all the other pregenerators do, even in brandnew world (this keeps me aways from using it, but would help much to "see" the complete map and not always beeing forced to "fly" it complete, would be less time consuming in map creation for myself).

A second request would be a better separation of the biomes.
Means, despite blocking in the configs with the settings:

NotBorderNear:

and

BiomeIsBorder:

it´s often ignored by the TC-Mod, as I experienced and Deserts build up next to snow areas.
May be it´s possible to improve this a little too.

... and please try to keep all the comming "Updates" compatible to version 14 world configs / maps.
I definitely have to stay with v 14 still now because the dev versions aren´t still as good as the v14, in my experience / eyes.
