Adding Generator For Single Prefab Structures

[12xx12]

There is no menu item at all for the GalExport plugin

Ah, you need proper configuration for the GalExport's web interface to appear. I think there should be a message in the log about it, when starting the server.
You should have a GalExport.example.cfg file next to the server that has an example config. This is my config, use it as basis for yours:

Config =
{
	CommandPrefix = "/ge",
	ExportFolder = "GalExports",
	ExportLineEnds = "\r\n",
	WebPreview =
	{
		ThumbnailFolder = "GalExportWeb",
		MCSchematicToPng =
		{
			HostName = "blackbox",
			Port = 9998,
		},
		MCSchematicToPngPort = 9999,
	}
};

Note that you need the WebPreview secvtion to enable the web handling, and for that, you need the MCSchematicToPng daemon to be running somewhere accessible. https://github.com/madmaxoft/MCSchematicToPng

Ok now it works. The MCSchematicToPng server is actually need. Now I see everything. Thanks

The generator works now.
May I make the prefabs ready for export on the Galery Server?

Are you reusing existing areas? Are they already approved? If so, clone a copy first.

[12xx12]

Are you reusing existing areas?

Sometimes - already did a clone because a block wasn't vanilla
The other ones I build myself

Are they already approved?

None of them

for some i need the backup to experiment with the metadata to make it work

Gonna do this tomorrow so no hurry

Avaiable Pool Metadata:

• GridSizeX
  - Numeric Value: every n blocks in X direction the structure is placed
  
• GridSizeZ
  - Numeric Value: every n blocks in Z direction the structure is placed
  
• MaxDepth
  - Numeric Value: Maximum depth of recursion while placing the structure (limits the size of composed structures)
  
• MaxOffsetX
  - Numeric Value: Maximum X deviation from  the position resulting from GridSizeX
  
• MaxOffsetZ
  - Numeric Value: Maximum Z deviation from  the position resulting from GridSizeZ
  
• MaxStructureSizeX
  - Numeric Value: Maximum size of the structure in X direction
  
• MaxStructureSizeZ
  - Numeric Value: Maximum size of the structure in Z direction
  

• SeedOffset
  - Numeric Value: a Value to add to the seed provided to generation (modifies the generation for every structure)
  

• AllowedBiomes
  - list of all allowed biomes as strings and comma seperated
  
• AllowedRotations
  - Numeric Value
  

• IsStarting
  - NumericBool (0,1): defines if the piece is a starting piece
  

Village specific Pool data: (quite self explainatory)

• MaxDensity
  

• MinDensity
  

• VillageRoadBlockType
  
• VillageRoadBlockMeta
  
• VillageWaterRoadBlockType
  
• VillageWaterRoadBlockMeta
  

Avaiable Piece Metadata:

• AddWeightIfSame
  

• DefaultWeight
  

• DepthWeight
  

• MergeStrategy
  - msOverwrite
  - msFillAir

• MoveToGround
  - NumericBool (0,1)
  

• VerticalLimit (Sets the maximum value for y position)
  - "", none
  - Above
  - AboveTerrain
  - AboveTerrainAndOcean- Below- BelowTerrain- BelowTerrainOrOcean
  

• VerticalStrategy
  - Fixed ("Fixed|NumericValue")
  - Range ("Range|LowNumericValue|HighNumericValue")
  - TerrainTop ("|LowNumericValue|RangeLimitNumericValue") the LowNumericValue describes the offset to terrain top. And RangeLimitNumericValue describes the possible range the object may be placed in. Positive values over Terrain. Negative below.
  - TerrainOrOceanTop ("|NumericValue|RangeLimitNumericValue") the NumericValue describes the offset to terrain top. And RangeLimitNumericValue describes the possible range the object may be placed in.Positive values over Terrain. Negative below.
  
• ExpandFloorStrategyy (names are self explainatory)
  - RepeatBottomTillNonAir
  - RepeatBottomTillSolid (Note: Plants and so on are not overwritten)
  - none
  

• ShouldExpandFloor
  - Numeric Bool (0,1)

How are we gonna do this with the prefabs?
Do I commit them? Do I send you the metadata to export them?

[xoft]

Great work with the metadata, we should definitely collect that somewhere in the DevDocs, and keep it updated.

With the prefabs, I guess it's easiest for you to send me the list of the prefabs and their metadata (possibly as exported cubeset files, I can read that
