KingGen - A Random World Generator for 7 Days to Die

[bdubyah]

That's one thing I was curious about. The vanilla mixer has min and max counts as well as a min distance for POIs, but it really seems to ignore the values for the most part. If there is any way to enforce something like that, it would be perfect.  Arramus gen'd several maps for my mod and most of them were similar to vanilla as far as POI counts. Like Khaine, I have a few POIs i only want 2-3 of max, and would like to limit some of the more basic ones if possible.

Not demanding or even expecting it, just curious if it would be possible.

Currently any vanilla property about count and distance is ignored. Where are they btw? Inside the poi xml file? I could try to use them.

Currently KingGen tries not to spawn the same poi twice inside the same city. However if it runs out of pois, it will spawn it again. Also there is no limit on how many times a poi can spawn in different cities/towns.

min_count, max_count, min_distance and max_distance are in the rwgmixer, not the POI XML.

I understand. They are properties of the generator, not the pois.

Yep, that's right.

It was built on Windows 10, I am not sure it will work on Windows 7.

I like the roads and the stlement structures on the preview. Unfortunately it is not working for me either under Win7. Files are missing.

It does not work with win7 because I am building it under win10. Maybe I could fix that, by including the missing files inside the executable. Would you mind showing me the error message that you are getting?

This is what I get first:

The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try to reinstall the program to fix this problem.

Next after:

Error loading Pyton DLL

'C:\Users\X\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI37122\python39.dll'.

Library: The specified module could not be found.

Thank you. I will have a look, but I cannot guarantee I can fix it.

That was same error I was getting except second one had LoadLibrary but that could just be a typo

How about you guys just update to win10? Im joking

lol, yeah I am putting it off as long as possible. I usually like to do a clean install instead of update and I dread having to load everything on again and get it how I have it set up now. But someday......someday...

I tried, and decided to stay far away from it. I managed the Win7 working on Ryzen, what was not a siple task. This is the most reliable desktop PC I ever had.

I think it only appears If you try to run it as administrator.

@Rukminesh@Gamida

Windows 7 is not compatible with python 3.9. I will downgrade to python 3.8 and build KingGen v0.4.0 there. Then you can try it and let me know if it works, (it might also happen that we fixed one issue, but something else comes up).

I will let you know when v0.4.0 is out. I hope around tomorrow night.

Hi KingSlayerGM

In the next update you will add the option (unique) to generate large POIs only one per map, I ask because I am playing a new map and they were generated as 3 large Stallions Hotels and other pois and it affects the performance too much.

Thank you for letting me know, i will try to figure out something.

Don't do anything that will screw anything up for others that it does work for. Although it would be great for it to work I rather not be one of the reasons it added bugs.

Thank you, the maps looks very good. However, I have noticed a couple of issues.

1. Traders placement seems to be off. Some place into next door POIs. Some place above or below ground level. Entrances are not aligned to the nearest street.

2. Some (>10%) POIs entrance alignment are reversed - away from streets. They also seem to place near center of the street.

I am using latest 7dtd update/patch and Compopack 47. Otherwise only a few QoL mods, nothing that messes with blocks or voxels. 

Also, I recommend not downgrading. Users can upgrade Win 7 without issues - it only requires them to do it correctly by following the guide posted by MS. They really do not need to rebuild and reinstall the PC. Being helpful is a rare human trait, but downgrading everyone else for the sake of one user that refuse to upgrade, may cause more problems for everyone else.

Very good advice. I say basically the very same thing in the post above yours.

I feel you didn't try to be, but it did come off as a tiny bit condescending. Two things to note.

1. There are two users that refused to upgrade, not one. We also specified why.

2. If I read correctly neither of us asked that he downgrade. He offered and I politely mentioned, at least for me, that he shouldn't do that for the reason you said.

I have said this in other posts that my online attitude radar is horrible. I usually read things the incorrect way and get meanings totally wrong so I apologies in advance for possibly doing the same for yours.
