A19e Nitrogen - UNSTABLE

Only files directly in the folder, not from subfolders. That's why I was suggesting moving them to a subfolder :)

 
Has anyone used this tool yet with 18.1 stable build 7? I just found out about this tool this morning and it looks great! I had generated a couple maps in Vanilla last night and they both looked like crap!

 
CompoPack 40 prefablist.xml

I see that Nitrogen is now packaged with a Prefab list for CompoPack 39. Will this also work with CompoPack 40, or is there an update to the list coming soon?

Here is an updated list I made for CompoPack40:

All the "Asian" buildings are spawning in their own city so, if you don't like that, you've to change it.

Yes, works great!

@Damocles

Works great as always!

Would be nice to have a drop down list for different settings like you did for the prefab lists.

Do you think you'll add that at some point?

Thx again for your greaat work!

How do i know if Nitrogen is generating a map for me? i press generate world but the console underneath doesnt seem to do anything other than output the radiation map.
(Edit: 4k maps seem to generate, but the default 8k just doesnt for some reason)

Would look like this in the console:

Code: 
Warning, maps above 8k are just experimental ! They will take very long to generate, and might require higher memory allocation.

I had the same issue when I used Prefabs with the UNIQUE entry in the prefabslist.xml.

After removing it, every map size was possible to generate.

I believe ive fixed my problem, i installed 64bit java and i was able to successfully gen a 6k world, i guess 32bit just doesnt want to do it, though im bit confused why there was no error or anything to indicate it wasnt working?

Glad you got it working. It's a great tool.

Yeah I wondered the same, regarding an error message. There was just none and nothing happened. :)

 
Here is an updated list I made for CompoPack40:View attachment 30531

All the "Asian" buildings are spawning in their own city so, if you don't like that, you've to change it.

Thanks for doing that, never used this tool before today.

What I did do is to rename that file that you uploaded to "prefablist_CompoPack_40" and popped it into the resources folder.

I then added "prefablist_CompoPack_40.txt ; Compo Pack 40 (full)" to the configPrefablists.txt file.

So now I get the choice of using the Compo Pack 40 using that updated list.

Of course I installed the actual Compo Pack 40 to my game, as instructed.

Does that seem ok...?

Thanks

 
Damocles,

This is a fantastic tool. Thank you for all you do.

Any chance of having your tool generate a new custom main.ttw per map gen. Friends and I re-start many times during experimental, and the main.ttw generated by Nitrogen is the same for every map which causes clients to have to re-download. I do know I can do a map gen with RWG and use that main.ttw, but was hoping for it to just auto create.

Thanks again for all your efforts.

Good to know. I can have a look at making a unique one.

Yep, that's right. Should work then.

 
@Damocles

Is it possible to set a "spawn point" for a prefab before generating the world?

Like: I have a lobby for a server and I want that lobby at the X and Z = 0 position.

So, is it possibly to set it and that the world gets generated "around" that prefab.

Right now I just hope it "spawns" close to the middle of the map or I try to adjust the prefabs in the 7d2d world editor before I upload the map to the server.

I can add an option to spawn them as central as possible. Due to the generation algorythm, I cant gen the prefabs relative to a spawn-position, but I can move the spawn position close to a city. I could add a zone marker for spawn though, so that marked prefabs will place playerspawns nearby. (or even inside them?)

 
We are trying to remove a few of the larger POI's from the map, but once the map has been generated these POI's are back in the map.

Which file does Nitrogen look at to add POI's in please....Thanks.

 
You can only manipulate the POIs by editing the prefabs.xml BEFORE starting the game (entering an area)

You may try deleting the POI from the prefabs.xml AND the region files that it is located in.

Maybe that works in a running game.

 
Not trying to do this while the game is running, but before generating the map. have edited the prefabs.xml but they still apear in the game.

- - - Updated - - -

Using the compo Pack to try and get some smaller POI's into the game but just getting lots of very large building everywhere.

 
I have tried this most useful and pretty amazing tool for the first time today, I'll need to practise more to fully appreciate it. Thanks for sharing it.

Is there any way to select the sizes for each of the biomes available.?

I include the burned and wasteland biomes and find that they are typically very small and randomly placed, whilst the others are comparatively large.

Also does the smoothing option define the transition stages between the biomes..?

Thanks again for your work here.

Sorry, "spawn point" were the wrong words... My question was all about generating a prefab where you want to have it.

Hope it was not misleading. My bad english.... :)

Personally I don't like the lobby close to cities so, an option to get a prefab as close to the center of the map as possible, independently from cities, would be great in my opinion.

A marked area for spawns is not needed in my eyes since you can set the spawn position in the spawnpoints.xml or, like in my case, with Botman (bot to manage servers).
