You need to set the MCServer as the startup project - right-click it and choose Set as Startup Project from the menu:

Thanks it starts now. The only problem I have now is that it doesn't seem to have permission to have read/write access or it's on a really weird location without any files.

RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - NiLSPACE - 11-11-2014

Hmm weird. I got the debugger to load the BiomalNoise3D generator, but I don't get those huge mountains and stuff there, and thus I don't get a crash.

RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - NiLSPACE - 11-11-2014

I don't think this stacktrace is going to help much:

Code:
    MCServer_debug.exe!cBlockArea::Clear() Line 298    C++

     MCServer_debug.exe!cBlockArea::~cBlockArea() Line 290    C++

     MCServer_debug.exe!cChunkDesc::~cChunkDesc() Line 41    C++

    MCServer_debug.exe!cChunkGenerator::DoGenerate(int a_ChunkX, int a_ChunkZ) Line 301    C++

     MCServer_debug.exe!cChunkGenerator::Execute() Line 277    C++

     MCServer_debug.exe!cIsThread::thrExecute(void * a_Param) Line 78    C++

But I have a feeling it has something to do with a finisher, because I've only noticed the crash with Taiga.

Ok I think I found the problem. The TallGrass generator tries to generate above 256 which causes it to crash.

Forest:

Code:
case biForest:           a_HeightAmp = 0.27f;  a_MidPoint = 62; break;

RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - xoft - 11-12-2014

Isn't that a bit too mild for a forest? I'd have expected a bit more hills.

RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - NiLSPACE - 11-12-2014

Then how about this:

Code:
case biForest:           a_HeightAmp = 0.23f;  a_MidPoint = 62; break;

RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - xoft - 11-12-2014

Is the water at the bottom part of the forest biome? If so, we might want to bring it up a block, forest normally doesn't have water in it, except for explicit water lakes.

RE: Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation - NiLSPACE - 11-12-2014

Yes that is also part of the forest biome. I guess setting a_MidPoint to 63 or 64 should do the trick?
