Bukkit

just a silly question, does biomes keep refreshing? I made a nice map, and then changed the settings for this plugin. But on my dynmap I can see the biome changing in every chunk I cross to the new setting. Snowtiles doesnt change to sand or something like that, the map is the same, but the biomesetting seems to change permanently?

I thought the biome is saved together with the chunks, once they have been created. I wanted to place different biomes in certain areas of the map, so I rendered the areas seperated and changed the biomesettings. Is this biomerefreshing new? I dont want a desert in my northern iceworld or a frozen see in my southern desert :(

Do biomes have any other effects then snow/rain? I culd still make a map and just ignore the biomesetting, but it just looks so wrong on the map ;)

Use the seed 292202 to fix biome colors! It will generate green biome colors for most of your world. This will fix swamp colors. Avoiding swamp colors is better than having them in the wrong place! Just my opinion there.

Alrighty I will start with normal default and test that way for now.

Is there a release for 1.0.0 bukkit?

@Khoorn

Alright, was not trying to be rude or anything, Just I don't understand how to make large or small land and make oceans less anymore.

If I was going to comment them Id comment something like the example below.

Landsize Increase for bigger biome - decrease for smaller biome - beware low numbers = large oceans

Generation Depth - Effects Landsize something something Large does This Smaller does that. Rarity - Rarity is chance to generate "or something"

Ores have proper comments like I can easily read that and do some small tests to find out what makes more ore/object appear and what makes less and so on. that was easy to work out thanks to in depth comments about each decimal spot.

Tho the Overall generation at least in the World config needs similar comments like to explain how making it smaller or larger will effect the other settings. Then in the biome configs you would have comments like in world config but explain how setting it will have a direct effect on just the biome it self and not overall.

I can live with out proper comments tho if I had it explained here instead could live with that as id at least have an idea what im doing wrong. I mean once I get the "world config" sizes and stuff set correctly for the overall amount of land mass vs ocean and things I can easily tweak the biomes around that and rinse repeat different settings. but I think its the fact I dont understand what direction I need to go up or down to balance out the biomeland vs ocean that has me stuck.

I think I might start with a fresh config and just play with the depth rarity and stuff for bit then when I understand it I will try use it with advanced stuff.

i´ve sent you 2 pm:s

Bug:

And sometimes trees have water as trunk... :)

EDIT: or this:

I really love this Plugin, its the most important for me, because I dont like the normal world generation. I also prefer much bigger biomes. And with this plugin, I was even able to make ice-planets or total desert planets :)

The only think I miss is something to create "real" worlds. Like big continents or at last a cold north and warm south. So that biome-chance would be effected by X and Y coordinates. Its just wrong to run through a iceworld, and see Jungle at north and south of it.

But with this plugin, its also possible to make that manually, I "just" need to change the biomes and prerender the world in certain coordinates. But sitll, a biome related to coordinates would be fine, so you could say that all biomes after X:10.000 are just ice or something like that.

@poiNt3D

Could be your temperature settings in biome configs make sure they are like vanilla. or the wetness settings.

I did notice it rained on icebiome and other ice biome, the proper taiga biome had snow tho.

@Fr0zenFr0g

It is is possible it has something to do with the new changes we just don't understand how they work in relation to biome size anymore.

I know I had a large continent at one stage but I broke it and I have no idea what setting's are doing it.

i would like to make large continents with many biomes that stick together and a ocean without islands, not that freakin ocean over the hole world with some small islands, i have tried for at least 10 houers. is it possible to do that? can someone please help me?
