Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation

[xoft]

That should work. Try with the debugger, step through the cComposableGenerator::Initialize() function and see whether the right generator is setting up.

[NiLSPACE]

It seems to initialize normaly. Now trying to see if the StringToBiome function works normaly.

That also seems to work normaly.

Doesn't the nether look a lot better with a little bit of soul sand?

How do you generate nether/end in MCServer?

[NiLSPACE]

Nether:

Code:

[Generator]
BiomeGen=Constant
ConstantBiome=Nether
HeightGen=Flat
CompositionGen=Nether
FlatHeight=128
Structures=Ravines,WormNestCaves
Finishers=LavaSprings,BottomLava,PreSimulator
BottomLavaLevel=30

[General]
Dimension=-1

End:

Code:

[Generator]
BiomeGen=Constant
ConstantBiome=Sky
HeightGen=End
CompositionGen=End
Structures=
Finishers=

[General]
Dimension=1

I love working on the nether:

Sadly I did this with a plugin

I'm now also trying to create a cFinishGenNetherSprinkleFoliage finisher.

[NiLSPACE]

I think the NetherSprinkleFoliage is ready:

We do need glowstone and nether fortresses but I think those are structures. (at least the nether fortress)

[xoft]

Looks nice, but if it uses the same generating principle as SprinkleFoliage, then it's not so good. We'd need something that generates "clumps" of the same thing - a group of 16 fires, a group of 8 mushrooms, etc.

[NiLSPACE]

No it doesn't generate clumps. In 3 for loops (x, y, z) it checks if the block is air, if the block bellow is solid and then it uses CubicNoise1D to decide if there should be a mushroom/fire.

I uploaded it to a new branch: https://github.com/mc-server/MCServer/tree/NetherFinish

[NiLSPACE]

I have the feeling that there is something wrong with the Noise3D generator:


It is incredibly slow and generates a flat land.
