KingGen - A Random World Generator for 7 Days to Die

[GlassDeviant]

This is intended behavior. I keep making new maps and I want to overwrite the old ones. I don't want several folders laying around.

Perhaps a checkbox toggle then? I keep making maps and I want to compare the new to the old. Or I can just change the name, but then I have multiple folder name roots for the same seed instead of keeping them to a single root name for the same seed.

The root name has to change in any case, since you cannot have 2 folders with the same name. Also, is there a specific reason why you are using the seed? If you leave it empty KG will use a random one each time.

Experimenting. It's also the seed I use most of the time for most games that have seeded random map generation, although I use others or random seeds as well. It depends what I am trying to do. Right now I am seeing the differences in city layouts for multiple maps of multiple sizes using the same seed, as I noticed a tendency to cluster buildings of the same type in the same area of each city (though different for each city). I'd prefer cities that "mix it up" a bit more, but not if it's going to be a big pile of work for you.

Hi, I noticed since the latest version of kinggen, that the heights of the POI's seem to be varied. IE some are 1 block out of the ground with a small lip, others are floating entirely off the ground(this is the bad part)  when a player activates the poi and zombies spawn the entire POI often collapses.  We tried an experiment on a quest and regenerated the POI and the same result the POI collapsed again.  The maps were all created with a custom heightmap, citymap, and biome image.  I played with city height to see if that made a difference(nope).   I used Darkness falls POI list Kaine provided for Kingen generator.   Any idea how to fix this?

The issue you describe seems to be caused by a mismatch between the poilist and the installed pois. This happens when people update one but not the other. Try with a fresh installation of DF and with a new poi list.

A couple of minor points from a first time user:

1) KingGen always opens maximized, at least for me. Not a big deal, but a minor annoyance especially for large screen users.

2) KingGen does not observe "dark mode" settings. For a user who is using dark mode, a brilliant, white window suddenly filling the entire screen is bordering on painful to sensitive, old eyes.

That's all for now, besides thanks for picking up the ball that was dropped with NitroGen.

Im experimenting with dark mode

Are KingGen maps (random maps in general?) compatible with overhaul mods? I was messing around with War of the Walkers with a KingGen map and the WOTW modded traders weren't spawned in.

Awesome

any way  to reduce size of map uploaded it and replace the old map with new sized map and not interfere with what people have built?

yes, pm me the details

Further on floating POI's.

So I wiped Darkness falls and reinstalled from a fresh download.  I used Kinggen poi-list creator to generate a brand new list of POI's.   Created the map, and everything is raised 1 block. so ground level POI's are floating, when someone enters or zombies are spawned they instantly collapse.   So far I have changed the height map to 3 different background levels,  I have used several generated POI lists,  completely wiped the Dfalls directory and redownloaded Dfalls, and did manual installation.  I re-downloaded the latest Kinggen also(was same on I had though)    Every building is still 1 block raised, this only seems to happen on the latest version of king gen, I wiped the old copy I'll try and see if I can find an old backup and test that again.  If anyone has any trouble shooting ideas let me know what to try next.(my next test will be just the cp files not Dfalls)

 

[Roy02]

ok just tested this using just cp poi list( cp47, tested with vanilla and DF builds same result.    I used a custom height map could that be a factor.  Not sure what to test to narrow this down.

Have you tried generating it without adjusting the heightmap.

I will try without a heightmap next

 

[Roy02]

With no selected heightmap the effect was much less prevalent but the spiral library was 3 blocks higher than ground level, most were normal.  I took some screenshots if you wanted me to send those.  I will try to figure out more tests in the morning

Start small dude.

Use df - df list and df prefabs. 

Or use cp - cplist and the prefabs provided 

Df has their own prefabs specific for their overhaul. They also use some cp prefabs which they may vary from the cps  so using one list and prefabs from another may result in bad Map gens.

 

[Snackiz]

Since 0.11.1 is not working, is there a way to download the previous, working version until the issue is fixed?

Check your pm's.. I've sent you the older version.

I did that,  I tested only DF prefabs(generated from the mod POI's),  only CP prefabs,  Vanilla Prefabs,  Tested all 3 of those with Vanilla game and DF mod game. I totally wiped DF mod install and reinstalled that and tested again.    All those test were bad using a custom height map.  Last night I tried no custom height map using CP with vanilla game and first thing I found was the Spiral library 3 blocks higher than normal, the majority of the rest of the POI's were good but it was late so did not do a good check.
plan for todays test;   download all new CP POI's, download a different (working height map.  

Question, is there a link to current POI lists and current POI's so I do not mix them up or should I keep using the tool to generate the lists?

You can use one list and combine another list.  But you also need both lists pois in the game prefab folder.

 But concentrate on getting one to work first before trying to add others.
