Go into DesertBiomeConfig.ini and set DisableNotchPonds: True

Hi i have tried to make a desert map with no ponds only rivers. I can't sem to get rid of all the ponds on my map.This is my Worldconfig.ini file
I am sorry if this isn't the right place for asking help but i diden't now where els to go

Go into worldconfig.ini and set all the following settings to 0.0:

MaxAverageHeight

MaxAverageDepth

FractureHorizantal

FractureVertical

@minechomp

In my ocean config height is -1 and volitality is 0.4, maybe that's the problem? World config has everything set to 0.

Edit: Tested it with Volitality at -1 and height at 0.4. Results in ocean biomes filled to the sky. Now testing with height -1 volitality 0.1

Edit: Height-1 volitality 0.1 fixed it. Default still generates at Height -1 Volitality 0.4 though.

@Isocadia

Ocean volitality should stay at -1.0 while ocean biome height should stay at 0.4 Changing either of those settings in ocean biomes can be dangerous. Also make sure that all volitality settings in worldconfig.ini are 0.0

I think I've found a bug in the latest dev build. Basicly, it's generating enormous "epic" overhangs and cliffs in ocean biomes. I tried adding the ocean biome config to the world config and I double checked all the settings that were in there, but still, when standing on such a cliff, /tc biome says it's an ocean biome.

I've disabled all biomes exept forest and ocean, and it seems that the world is much more volatile than 2 versions ago, and oceans are just out of control.

@VariousArtist

Use /tc biome. Alternatively, you can use /tc map [world name] -s [map size(preferably from 300-500)] to create a biome map in your main folder.

:D i dosnt see the Link for 1.1, all fine at this moment :)

Hi ill run the bukkit version craftbukkit-1.1-R1-20120120.104802-76, does anyone know that terrain controll run with this version ?

I get the error "An internal Error occured whyle attempting tp perform this commend" while i use the commen /tc check

just wondering what would be the settings to achieve a fully enclosed cave world like the ones in more world types mod for SP.

I want a map that's all caves for mining so its always dark and full of mobs.

appreciate any help thanks!

@Crunkatog

Lower the biome volitality to around 0.1 - 0.2 for the biome in question. Turn the worldconfig.ini volitality (both of them to 0.0). Bam, seed can't do shit. Make sure to turn biome height down as well.

Quote from Khoorn:

You know about biome DesertHills ? If this is not this biome - place screens please ..

I don't think it's DesertHills, because I don't have that biome enabled. It coincides exactly with a mountainous area on our vanilla server using that seed....

It doesn't need a screenshot. It looks exactly like Extreme Hills, except for instead of grass and the rare tree, it has sand and cacti and a few shrubs.

I'm going with "there's not much TerrainControl can do to suppress the seed's native noise" so I will choose a different seed, one that has mostly ocean at its origin. Perhaps the gentler terrain noise of 1.1 will make it not so annoying.

That said, if there's a way to completely override the seed's native noise and replace it entirely with TerrainControl values, that would be awesome.
