RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - xoft - 06-02-2012
the default is 96 (6 chunks), though I might still increase that up a bit.
RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - xoft - 06-02-2012
Biomal height generator added. Finally when the biome says "mountains", the terrain is mountains, and if biome says ocean, the terrain is water

nice now only river=river and beach=beach and biome height generator is finished??
RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - xoft - 06-02-2012
Rivers and beaches are actually the domain of the biome generator. The height generator has nothing to do with it.
I don't think I'll be touching that in the nearest future, I'm more concerned about composition now. Deserts should get sand, swampland shouldn't have sand, etc.
And of the most impotance - we definitely need a biome generator cache, because the new height generator uses 9 chunks worth of biomes for each chunk generated, resulting in about 5 times slower chunk generation.

i don't know if i did something wrong but take a look at this picture (r536)
i uploaded the world.ini to (had to change it to txt to upload to the forum)
RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - xoft - 06-02-2012
You're explicitly using the Classic height gen. You need to set HeightGen=Biomal in your [Generator] section.
And of course, if you have some leftovers generated by the previous versions, they won't get overwritten - you need to delete the "region" subfolder.
Yes, the speed was fixed quite easily. I'm now doing some statistics to see what the best cache size is.
RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - NiLSPACE - 06-02-2012
ok thanks
is the slow generating fixed in r537? https://code.google.com/p/mc-server/source/detail?r=537
THE MOUNTAINS ARE SO AWSOME!!
RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - xoft - 06-02-2012
Wow, those caches are really worth every single keystroke spent coding them. I added both a biomegen and a heightgen caches, and now the generator is twice as fast as before I even started working on Biomal. And at only 35 KiB of RAM usage more, it's an incredible deal
So, yes, the slowness has been fixed. It has been even over-fixed
RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - NiLSPACE - 06-02-2012
awsome it looks like i am in single player but then with terrain i like
it just generates the terain so fast sadly when i explore allot (and i do that with this terrain) after a while i get kicked with the error: too many packets in queue 
whats the diffrence between r537 and r538??
RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - xoft - 06-03-2012
"Too many packets in queue" means that the network is too slow, unable to transfer packets fast enough from the server to the client.
Are you using any mod in the client? For faster movements perhaps? Though that wouldn't probably work with vanilla servers, so no-one would bother writing such a mod, I guess.
Rev 538 got a second cache, which made world generation even faster. Nothing else has been changed.
