iLiberate Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) How would one go about modding world generation to make the world even larger? I'd like to make a very very large world with small diverse biomes and spawn players all over the world Edited July 13, 2015 by iLiberate Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/56140-a-much-larger-world/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzisor Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) @iLiberate, it is not possible from a modding level. I sent PeterA a message with some changes which will make it possible for modders. Basically the issue is the world sizes are hard coded and are not in a file which can be overwritten by mods, simply changing the values to a modifiable variable will allow mods to manipulate world size.

But the mod "extended world generation" adds a massive extra biome? Why couldn't I add lots of extra biomes?

Kzisor Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 @iLiberate, Extended World Generation simply adds Tasks to the level, it doesn't modify the actual world size.

iLiberate Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 @iLiberate, Extended World Generation simply adds Tasks to the level, it doesn't modify the actual world size.So this statement by the author is false? =/ Deja Vu [author] Jul 11 @ 9:09pm @[NG] Pvt. UlrichThis indeed makes the world that much bigger. There are many different biome types in Cave world so each biome takes up a chunk of land and adds that much more content to the entire map. Also this mod does not replace any existing biomes, it simply adds the Cave biomes next to default ones.

Kzisor Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 @iLiberate, no it's not false. Tasks = Biomes. Here is an example of the differences in world sizes. STANDARD HUGE MAP: MAX MAP POSSIBLE WITH DEFAULT TASKS/BIOMES: MAX MAP POSSIBLE WITH INSANE BIOMES: Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/56140-a-much-larger-world/#findComment-654032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLiberate Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) @Kzisor How do I get a map as large as that bottom one? I've never had one anywhere near that large?

Kzisor Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) @iLiberate, you cannot mod it, you have to change the original files which get overwritten every update. Until the developers add a way to customize the world map size as a whole (IE the hard coded value) it's not really possible to release something that would be hassle free. Not to mention the amount of lag that I get on my i7 Quad Core running at 4.3GHZ through the dedicated server software is massive when certain functions run such as the auto save function, is tremendous. I spike for at least 5 seconds if not longer and that is with only two players on the server. If I opened the server up to everyone I imagine it would spike even worse.

iLiberate Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 @Kzisor What about the middle one? Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/56140-a-much-larger-world/#findComment-654043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzisor Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) @iLiberate, the middle one can be achieved by simply copying/pasting the forest_map.lua file into your scripts/map folder and selecting huge world. The bottom one is achieved by copying/pasting both files and selecting huge world. You can copy/paste the levels folder ontop of scripts/map/levels and it will simply add additional biomes to your map without changing the default values for those times where you want to experiment. Once again as stated above, I believe it was originally set to the number it has been at because of performance issues. If you run into any performance issues, please cease using this modification by deleting these files and validating your files through steam.
