Posted October 22, 2015 Updated jar with blayze's change: https://github.com/BuddaT/WGenerator/releases/tag/1.11 Now all we need is for Xeon to tell you how he did the cliff addition, and we'll have all extras in a nice shiny box ^-^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 22, 2015 Still, would like to see Worldpainter-like features in future version so you can make terrain with specific features, not just random one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) OK I need some help. I think I might not be doing something right... so I can generate heightmaps just fine - I see a variety of black and white images for various map shapes (see below). However, that's as far as I can get. The erosion and the dropping of dirt seems to do nothing. I set various values on those categories and then click "Drop Dirt", "Erode Heightmap", etc and it takes a good 30 seconds, but nothing happens. The image remains at black and white and I have no idea what I'm looking at. Is the image supposed to change to reflect the amount of dirt dropped, biomes created, etc? In other words, once I generate a heightmap, nothing else I seem to do makes any noticeable difference to the map on the screen. It's still like the one below - am I missing something? Also - I would assume that the light gray areas in this image would be under water, but again I can't tell. Thanks in advance.

Posted October 22, 2015 Wow, res of 1k will make land to the corners. 20 iterations will make it very bumpy. 500 water will cover some of the land but still... Just go with the default settings at first. Do the Get Height map. Then Drop Dirt. Wait for the dirt button to come back 'up'. It will be dark until it's done. Then you can erode. But after it gets done eroding all you will see is the Height Map. You have to click on Show Map View at the bottom to see the map again. That's probably where you are having a problem.

Posted October 22, 2015 Well, I don't know what to say. It works for me and 11 of my friends. I know that doesn't help you. Maybe try downloading the most recent version that Budda put up recently? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 22, 2015 I had the same problem as Kruggan, it was because I had placed the Wgenerator.jar file in my Program Files directory and it did not have write access there when it tried to save files. I changed the Start in directory on my Wgenerator shortcut to C:\ProgramData\Wgenerator and it worked. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) After reading further I realized my issue was Java 32 bit edition. With the 64 bit edition it runs great and here's my first creation! I have to say it was a lot of fun generating it - especially when I figured out how to do sand on the edges of land to form beaches - it was a good feeling. One other question I have before I try and import this to play on it - any tips on making a more flat map overall? I'd assume making the max height something shorter and changing something with erosion? So thanks for the help! Here's my first creation (2048 size). I'm looking forward to testing it in game and seeing what needs tweaked. Edited October 22, 2015 by Kruggan 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Hey uh, Budda. Any chance you can make the 'random seed' buttons randomise the entire number? Also... what is Erosion actually doing? Edited October 22, 2015 by Tyroki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Ok having an issue with this as well...I open the program, leave everything as it defaults, I click gen heightmap, I click erode, I click drop dirt..all I see is the grayscale map. I try get heightmap, drop dirt...I can see the map now...click errode and it goes back to grayscale. In either case if I click show map view at the bottom I can not see the map only the grayscale version. Also I initially attempted to make a larger map and it hung like it was attempting to use too much memory. I waited for the button to come back up to show it completed but still couldnt do anything. So I tried to do as Budda suggested and change the amount of memory being used and I get this error: Error occured during initialization of VMCould not reserve enough space for 2097152KB object heap Thank you Explora, that ended up being my issue as well. Everything is working correctly now. Had to move it to another directory. Edited October 22, 2015 by Krieden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 23, 2015 When I went to load a 4096 indy size map it said loading servers and it didn't load. Then one time I said, ok, give it more time. So that was it. It just needed more time to load. Also, when I used the older version of Budda's nothing loaded cuz the map maker was bugged. He fixed it so I downloaded his latest version and then loaded my maps into it and saved them from the new version. They worked perfect. So, make sure you got the latest version of the map maker. Load your maps into it with the LOAD ACTIONS. Wait for the map maker to get them all done. Could take some time. WHen it's done save it all. Then load your maps into the game. It should work ok.

Posted October 23, 2015 Alright, well I'll explain what worked for me in case it can help anyone~ STEP 1: Navigate to your WU directory or dedicated server directory. (\Steam\SteamApps\common\Wurm Unlimited\WurmServerLauncher) or (\Steam\SteamApps\common\Wurm Unlimited Dedicated Server) by default. STEP 2: Copy and the "Adventure" folder and paste it to make a new server folder ("Adventure" seems to work best?). (\Steam\SteamApps\common\Wurm Unlimited\WurmServerLauncher\Adventure - Copy) or (\Steam\SteamApps\common\Wurm Unlimited Dedicated Server\Adventure - Copy). STEP 3: Rename this folder to match your server (or what ever you want). For example: "\Steam\SteamApps\common\Wurm Unlimited\WurmServerLauncher\MYSERVER" or "\Steam\SteamApps\common\Wurm Unlimited Dedicated Server\MYSERVER". "MYSERVER" being anything you want it to be. STEP 4: Copy your custom map files into your new server folder- they should overwrite the old ones. For reference the files you need are "flags.map", "map_cave.map", "resources.map", "rock_layer.map", and "top_layer.map" STEP 5: In your server folder navigate to the folder "sqlite". STEP 6: In the "sqlite" folder find and execute "rebuild-dbs.bat"; when prompted to continue in the command window, type "y" and press enter- wait until it finishes and states to "press any key to continue". STEP 7: Start WU or the dedicated server. If starting WU go to "Manage server" STEP 8: In the "Manage server" menu select your new server from the drop down menu on the top. STEP 9: Edit your server settings and start your server STEP 10: Hope it works? Use Xeon's method ^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks for trying to help, but unfortunately no luck. I've followed Xeon's method precisely and did reload and resave the map with the latest version of the generator, but no luck. Anyone have any suggestions or mind trying to see if the map will load for them? https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3o50jwy2plrn906/AADAltqkOULrcGbuhIK8jRB0a?dl=0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Oh dear.. added height map importing- needs some work still. Implemented height map importing, but it does has some rather lousy drawbacks: First is that there are only 765 height steps (RGB channels, 255 + 255 + 255 = 765). I don't know of a better way of deriving height data from an image- if you do please let me know Other draw back is that it is not very user friendly, and if you do something wrong it will just sit there and not do anything. I have included the dirt drop fix that was recently added into the program by Budda. I can take it out too if some of you would prefer that I also have not tested this in game, but I would assume it works fine. If you want to try it out: JAR: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v8sxvwknqy8oe0l/WGenerator-ArpyEditv2.jar?dl=0SOURCE: https://www.dropbox.com/s/98qzw8fz03gnrt3/WGenerator-ArpyEditv2.zip?dl=0 how to use itSTEP 1: Make an image. Images need to be square and in Wurm map friendly sizes (1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384) then make sure you save it as .PNG format; if you upload an image that does not meet these requirements it will do nothing. STEP 2: In the generator change the map size and height to match your desired settings (you have to do this first otherwise import will do nothing). STEP 3: Click on import and select your image, once you press "okay" it will begin converting it- might take a bit as always. From there you can treat it just like any other map~ Yay!
