Does anyone know how i would go about spawning trees throughout my world that do not have leaves? I want the trees to be three times as hard to find, even trees that are 5 blocks up would be excellant. Any help?

I have this one http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/terrain-control/forum/28203-share-your-custom-biomes/#p6 < for sharing Biome config files with a pic, and this one http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/terrain-control/forum/28204-terrain-tips/#p1 < for pasting code and getting help with settings also sharing interesting settings that are not completed but just general settings that produce certain effects so others may learn what settings will create what kinds of effects.

In my world I was sticking to an enhanced natural generation with far less ore as I have a space world I wanted to use for mining of rares. but I liked your ice mountains and stuff and I wanted to take a look thru the biome code to see what ore and replace settings you used for it I have since upon asking migrated to 1.0 test version myself but I am just trying to iron out some issues with generation before I fine tune individual biome. I have pretty general understanding on how it works I just seem to be getting an issue where I can visually see where chunks start and end esp noticeable on the sea floor I know someone had this issue wondering how they combat it.

Eaither way in my world I wanted to have Increased height verations on everything and add a couple custom biome. Im working towards an end goal of having some islands but not many mainly large continents that are are just breathtaking compared to notchs still mainly flat landscape.

I wanted to have a underground cavern experience as well with LARGE canyons that much is working alright but I do need to adjust the canyons the max height is a little too much causing them to cut thru some smaller biome hills EW.

the generation is working amazingly well tho apart from that I just need to get rid of the stupidly large frozen oceans and rivers. I will work most of this out by 2moro :) and take some shots for you all.

EDIT Oh and once we get a fix for the custom biome settings not keeping on world create I can test out my Wasteland and Cake biome :), I tried to make frozen ocean and rivers part of the taiga biome as shore line and isles tho I think its not working as expected need to play MUCH more with these settings to get the effects I need.

@Shaun_das_schaf

Install a plugin to be able to check what biome your in the modify that biome so that it DOES generate trees how you want them :) this what I have been doing I added trees to extreme hills and plains :) just made it less dense.

@Khoorn: Thank you very much for your explanation, I'll continue to experiment :D

@ledhead900: Your post seems to indicate it was also a response to me, and if so, I would certainly like to take a look at your biome share thread ^^

@Khoorn

Bug in your test version, Custom Biome's will not save correctly and reset in the world config.

@seanskroht

You could use PTM173 instead of TerrainControl. But with PTM173 you don't have all the features you have here, but try it out.

@Khoorn

It's different.......as in, a different map is being generated.

When we first created our server, the map that was generated was based on this seed: 4580899268973138743

As a test, I used that seed in single player Minecraft v1.7.3 and it generated the same map as the one in our server. But when I use that seed to generate a map using your 1.7.3 terrain generator, the map is completely different.

I'm asking how I can make sure your 1.7.3 terrain generator generates the same map as Mojang's original Map Generator. The reason being is so that server admins can use the regen command in WorldEdit to regenerate damaged parts of the map as well as explore further parts of the map that will blend in with the original parts of the map.

We don't want to start a new map all over again because too many people have built too many things.

I have one more problem: I wanna have (cool mountains with) forest and desert, but not the treeless region between forest and desert. Problem is that forest has moisture about 1.0 and desert has it about 0.0 and the treeless region has about 0.3. So if I set minMoisture to 0.0 and maxMoisture to 1.0 I will get everything. How can I beware the treeless region then?

I'm sorry for annoying you :)

Care to share ? I like the way the snow biome looks and wonder how u got the lava to fall in the wasteland.

I have similar ideas but more natural looking I just wanted the other biome to be more random so I would like to learn from yours, I have a biome share thread if u wish to take a look at that.

Khoorn,

Is there anyway that I can get the 1.7.3 generator to generate the exact same terrain as the old 1.7.3 Minecraft Server jar file? I'm getting completely different terrain even though I am using the exact same seed. I have set OldTerrainGenerator:true and oldBiomeGenerator:true in WorldConfig.ini. I have also added the necessary lines to bukkit.yml.

Hey i have an important question. The problem is the map generation. If i were to use the dev build of terrain control would it work with the one that will be the supported version of the reccomended 1.0.0 build or will it mess the map up? Thanks

EDIT: I've noticed snow generates very weirdly and i can't find any way to remove it. Just wanted to let you know

"About swamp color - it is client side color :( So for fix this need install client mod .."

But client doesn't decide where to use swamp colour, right? So I think it's possible in the server, isn't it? (Don't know, just an idea...)

Allright I think I understand Landsize :D thanks! So, given a simple LandRarity=100, if I set LandSize to 0, I'll get a big continent and if I set it to GenerationDepth I'll get small islands.

Then I still wonder: What would happen if I would keep LandSize=1 and would set Rarity to lower values?

I've also been messing with the biome settings, but am not getting the results I expected, and so I also ask: - What does it mean for the biome if I set the BiomeSize to either 0, or to GenerationDepth, with BiomeRarity=100? and - What does it mean when I set the BiomeRarity higher or lower, with the same BiomeSize? (basically asking: what does biomeRarity even do?)

I'm sorry to bother you with these questions :p The thing is that I've been trying to get rid of taiga and swamp, by messing with their individual Rarity values compared to other biomes that i do want, and instead -no matter what- Ive been ending up with worlds full of taiga and swamp XD noooo Appreciate your work :)

Thanks for your reply Khoorn. Unfortunately i was editing my last post as you replied, because i wanted to change my question to you. You might have to do refresh on the web page. My apologies :). My new question is about the 1.7.3 terrain generation.
