Hi,
okay, as I´ve said, the floating seems not bad/annoying to me (not visible from ove water point of view).
But if You dislioke it this much, try to give the Mangrove bo2 much ore dirt at the bottom of it´s roots, may be to -15 deep below 0.
I have never tried this out myself, but should do the job together with the rest of my sugestions.

To avoid deeper water in the swampbiome would be a better solution, but I don´t know now how to do...will be found out too if possible some day.

Please tell if it worked out the "problem".

@mysource: Go Yeap it is interesting, will add link soon :) Also may you adds your great worlds to this page ?

Hi Khoorn,
thanks, good Idea and already picked up by "wessexstock" and myself today.
He has contacted myself and made some sugestions how to future handle the bo2 stuff, maps and so on.
We hopefully will work together some more close and share EVERYTHING with all people here.
More Infos regarding this connection will be offered soon, I promise now.
Some little things to make some "appetite"....
1.
I plan a little Fort as bo2 to be placed by /spawn fort at places in the world one likes.
2. For the Video-Freaks, I will make a Video showing "LARA" (that´s my char as everybody knows ;-) ... ) "traveling" through one of our best words, in future.

Should be kept interesting this way too ;-)

PS:
Khoorn, it would be a nice idea fom my point of view, to share our Email Adress and a little more Infos via PN, to get much more direct and easy in contact, if necessary in the near future. Good Idea?

@wessexstock

Hi wessexstock,
thanks a lot for Your PM, You´ve got an positive :-) answers from myself already.
Will be a creative future for us (... and the other people here hopefully too...) soon, I think.

The "BetterBOb"-Crash Problem is solved already too (see some posts down).

Hi,
thanks a lot, I´ve set a Link to my Website there now too.
(much more easy then posting all this stuff again and again ;-) ... )

@Slye_Fox

... solution to avoid this error is exacly as I´ve told before some posts down.

Values for water level:

If Your world is for instance at water level 64 (standart), Your Mangrove Settings for Min/Max spawn altitude should be:
61 (Min)
67 (Max)

This way the mangrove Tree is forced to spawn always the same level, spawing under water and showing exact the same amout of it´s rest over water.
(For sure it is "floating" in deep water, if not worked around llike I too mentioned in my last former post....but this too is no probleme in my eyes because it is not to see without diving at the trees roots.)
Try it out this way please.

Hi,
I will do soon, give me some time.
But...as there is a saying:
To help someone is not offering him the "fish", but teach hin to catch the "fish" ... ;-)

What I want to say is, if You took You some time and compare the different world visa their settings, You will soon recognize which will lead to which result.
(most things have been explaint in the configs itself by Khoorn)

... but I will do it soon one more time ;-)

Hi,
I found 2 reasons why BetterBOB is crashing if someone tries to open an edited bo2:

1. If it has ablock ID not wanted by BetterBOB like 9 (water)
Solution: Change it "back" temporarely (Notepad) to somthing like stone (ID 1)

2: If it has a "Spawn Biome" not basic for BetterBOB (like Custom or ...).
Solution: Change it "back" temporarely (Notepad) to somthing like Forest.
..............
Regarding the SwampTree:
I played a little more with it and came out with this:

Download bo2.

As You see in the screens, it is working well as You want it to do in my world.
Did You check water level in Your setup?
(and edit it to +/- 3 to Yours in the bo2)

May be it still floates in deep water.
To avoid this tree in deeper water You have to manage that the biome (swampland) for this Mangrove-Tree is without deep water (like in real nature, Mangrove doesn´t grow in deep water).
Not easy, but worth the effort I think.
I know no other solution so far.

Hi,
sadly I couldn´t open it with BetterBOB (it seems something is out of the limitations of BetterBOB, like it often happend with my bo2´s too).

So I opened it with Notepad and changed this bolt parts:

[META]
version=2.0
spawnOnBlockType=9
spawnSunlight=True
spawnDarkness=True
spawnWater=True
spawnLava=False
underFill=True
randomRotation=True
dig=True
tree=False
branch=False
needsFoundation=True
rarity=50
collisionPercentage=5
spawnElevationMin=59
spawnElevationMax=65
spawnInBiome=Swampland
[DATA]
-2,-1,-2:3
-1,-1,-2:3
0,-1,-2:3
-2,0,-2:3
-1,0,-2:3
0,0,0:17.0
-1,0,0:17.0
-1,1,0:17.0
0,1,0:17.0
-3,0,0:17.0
0,3,0:17.0
-1,-2,0:17.0
....
Here a screen of Your bo2 file in swamp-world:

... and this is my edited (the bolt parts above) bo2:

Please try it out.
My "Idea behind this 59/65 settings is, that in this way it only is allowed to spawn at this waterlevel (if too 62 in Your world) to "fit".

In my Reed.bo2 (schilf.bo2) I´ve made a "basement" of some dirt blocks sitting -2 below the water level (62 in my world) and giving it min/max to 59 and 65 (at water level 62) in WorldConfig.ini.
(Same I did with Your bo2 now)
This aids to "underwater floating" reeds...
But this can be seen only, if Your char is diving ;-)

In case of Your Mangrove-Tree, it is filled now below the roots to the ground with dirt (ID 3, under water).

I hope I could transmit the point, I wanted to explain.
I use the dirt and the settings just as an aid to get it spawn in water + under water and only in a very limited height level.

May be I´m totally wrong, but with my Reed.bo2 it worked out very acceptable in my eyes.

Hi,
mainly @Khoorn:

As I`ve promised, I `ve set up a little Website regarding the .bo2`s.
Actually it is now "only" a short illustration how the bo2´s are looking like and at the Bottom is the Download-Link containing all of my (and 2 "foreign" ones, the 2 palms from "wessex") bo2´s in one single .zip file.

If You like the idea / Site, feel free to set a Link in Your Forum here, to give everybody access to it.

Here we go:

Enjoy, best regard
