Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) WGenerator 2.9 - Wurm Unlimited Map Generator Download Here | Contribute on GitHub This map generator has been completely redesigned to give increased usability and platform support. Thanks to Budda for the original program. Major features include: multi-threading, progress bar, import/export heightmap and biome images, biome and river painting, map markers, and tons of new inputs for creating varied maps. Out-Of-Memory Error Spoiler Try running the program from the console and giving Java more memory. Java version 8 64-bit is required. cd directory/to/program java -Xmx4096m -jar WGenerator.jar Where 4096m is the amount of memory, in megabytes. (1gb = 1024mb) Improvements So Far Spoiler Added progress bar with estimated wait time Added import/export 16bit grayscale .png height maps (credit to Xeon) Added reload water button (so you don't have to wait on dirt) Added ability to seed biomes around the water level (+/- height) Added checkboxes for random seeds (instead of clicking the button each time) Added tooltips to labels for clearer use Added biome random growth for each seeding Added file naming to Save Actions Added Clear Actions button (e.g. you can create a biomes action file separately) Added cliff ratio dirt drop input (how much large slopes protrude through the dirt layer) Added land slide dirt drop input (dirt sliding above the max set slope) Added erode max slope input (only erode below a certain slope) Added error reporting for catching exceptions Update 2.1 Added ability to place marker on map to see world coordinates Added grid overlay to the map with a on/off toggle Update 2.2 Multi-threading drop dirt (2-4x faster depending on your setup) Fixed map name save bug before you have a map Moved import heightmap button to heightmap tab Added grid size adjustment input (enter to submit) - For best results map size should be evenly divisible by grid size (powers of 2) Update 2.3 Added random growth rate to each seed in a batch (gives various sized biomes if using growth min/max) Fixed biome seeding so that all seeds grow a biome (instead of throwing away ones that don't match) Added biome density input to create sparse growth (higher numbers = more spread out) Greatly improved error feedback mechanism Update 2.4 Added biome paint mode (click on map to plant a biome seed) Fixed zoom on mouse Fixed map zoom resetting on view change Update 2.5 Added river/lake painting Save current view as default view (instead of map view) Fixed drop dirt creating ridges down the center Fixed digging on rock tiles (credit to Blayze) Added height (in dirt) to coordinate marker Fixed dirt drop not smoothing at max height Update 2.6 Added biome specific input values saved to config file (credit to Snowtech) Added undo river button (export/import heightmap on river generation) Added normalize low/high ratio to heightmap Added Memory usage display Added save/load biomes buttons Fixed map files reverting after doing another action Update 2.7 Added import/export of 24-bit color biome files Improved biome density for more natural growth Update 2.8 Added flower types (1-15) to biomes Added random flower type selection Added flower percent chance input Added a Biome view that shows the biome colors Added Tree, Bush, and Snow tile types Added additional biome import colors Update 2.9 Added orange tree Added hazelnut, raspberry, blueberry, and lingonberry bushes Added sandstone and rocksalt Biome Color Pallet [r,g,b]: Spoiler CLAY:(113,124,118) DIRT:(75,63,47) DIRT_PACKED:(75,63,46) GRASS:(54,101,3) GRAVEL:(79,74,64) KELP:(54,101,2) LAVA:(215,51,30) MARSH:(43,101,72) MOSS:(106,142,56) PEAT:(54,39,32) REED:(53,100,2) ROCK:(114,110,107) SAND:(160,147,109) STEPPE:(114,117,67) TAR:(18,21,40) TUNDRA:(118,135,109) TREE_APPLE:(41,58,4) TREE_BIRCH:(41,58,3) TREE_CEDAR:(41,58,2) TREE_CHERRY:(41,58,5) TREE_CHESTNUT:(41,58,6) TREE_FIR:(41,58,7) TREE_LEMON:(41,58,8) TREE_LINDEN:(41,58,9) TREE_MAPLE:(41,58,10) TREE_OAK:(41,58,11) TREE_OLIVE:(41,58,12) TREE_PINE:(41,58,13) TREE_WALNUT:(41,58,14) TREE_WILLOW:(41,58,15) TREE_ORANGE:(41,58,16) BUSH_CAMELLIA:(58,58,1) BUSH_GRAPE:(58,58,2) BUSH_LAVENDER:(58,58,3) BUSH_OLEANDER:(58,58,4) BUSH_ROSE:(58,58,5) BUSH_THORN:(58,58,6) BUSH_HAZELNUT:(58,58,7) BUSH_RASPBERRYE:(58,58,8) BUSH_BLUEBERRY:(58,58,9) BUSH_LINGONBERRY:(58,58,10) TREE:(41,58,1) BUSH:(58,58,0) CLIFF:(155,151,148) SNOW:(255,255,255) WOODEN_PLANKS:(114,102,80) STONE_SLABS:(99,99,99) SLATE_SLABS:(99,99,98) MARBLE_SLABS:(99,99,97) COBBLESTONE:(92,83,73) ROUGH_COBBLESTONE:(92,83,74) ROUND_COBBLESTONE:(92,83,75) FLOWERS:(220,250,51-65) MYCELIUM:(71,2,51) Options Menus 2.0 Spoiler Edited January 25, 2018 by Eitr Updated to Wurm 1.4 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 Nice - strange question, but what settings created that map in the screenshot above? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 Very nice, I especially like the tabbed layout, should fit just about any monitor and aspect ratio, all without input boxes getting squashed or pushed ofscreen. I love the progress bar, all in all, a fine tool for good maps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 Nice - strange question, but what settings created that map in the screenshot above? Which parts of it? I believe it was the defaults, and I just threw the map together for a screenshot. Very nice, I especially like the tabbed layout, should fit just about any monitor and aspect ratio, all without input boxes getting squashed or pushed ofscreen. I love the progress bar, all in all, a fine tool for good maps Thanks! The progress bar was what got me started on editing it, and I just couldn't help but fix up the layout.

Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Update 2.1 - Coords and grid Added ability to place a marker on the map and see the world coordinates. Also a quick grid overlay I'll improve in the future. Edit: I just realized the isometric map view might be hard for this, so use the topo view to be more accurate. Edited October 30, 2015 by Eitr 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 Really awesome so far testing with 8k map ive set it to 10g of ram ( you can use -Xmx10g also ) and it seems to be keeping itself at around 9g which is nice i can actually play around with biomes nowany other kind of memory optimization/cleanup would be great, reloading water still adds 1g to usageeverything else feels pretty nice, and i like the new look,import tab is nice but one must first set the size in heightmap tab aswell as set the Max Height, as this effects the outcome of the import, if you set max height to 2000 before you import it will be very flat but if you set 30000 you start to see the rock n mountainsmaybe add some boxes on the import tab to set size and max height and possibly not sure if other settings effect the import? as for suggestions main focus is with more control over biome placement-ability to lock down areas using the grid to only generate biomes in specific grid areas would be amazing, probably also an adjustable grid size so we can go smaller-add biome density setting for sparse forests / biome blending-biome import/export that follows the cliff and landslide dirt drop code. some import code is here (https://github.com/aekazakov/WurmMapUploader) but im not sure if its landsliding n stuff after painting the tiles ect (for now i would be happy to import one bugs:when i hit update map name it froze and i got-SEVERE: null java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException open and go to import tab rename the map and hit save i get-Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 from all the ones so far i like yours the most(the way it looks and handles)anyways i got a question would it be possible to setup something for biomes that is similar to ores in the sense of being able in 1 window to preset their sizes and amount and height and then just click 1 button to generate them all and undo and redo until you get one that you like and having it separate for trees and other biomes?as that is honestly 1 of the things all the map generators are missing so far is being able to just quickly make all biomes and undo and redo over and over and over 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 Yes, this is the best generator so far. Puts all good stuff from the others in one place plus adds some improvements and user candy. Good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 Wow! Those are some really nice improvements to the program. Thanks so much for all the great additions! So nice finally knowing roughly how long it will take for the drop dirt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks for the feedback guys! Currently I'm working on multi-threading the drop dirt function so that it is roughly 4x faster. It's almost complete and should be out today. I'll see what I can do about the UI improvements, and look into setting up separate biome settings for each tile type. I'm putting everything on a todo list so it should get done eventually.

Posted October 30, 2015 Lol "Java heap exception". Probably I have no luck to generators Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 I keep running out of memory at different times making a map so it is getting me frustrated. My java is set to have 6g's of ram and yes I have a 64bit machine and java. But your map gen just don't want to work with my pc what so ever with out having a memory issue some where along the lines of creating the map. Until you get this fixed I want risk my pc to damage. Looks nice but the memory issue that keeps poping up is just not worth my patients or my pc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks nice but the memory issue that keeps poping up is just not worth my patients or my pc. How big of maps are you guys trying to generate? It shouldn't have any problems up to 4096, which is plenty big for most private servers. Unless your computer just doesn't have enough RAM. If you need bigger maps, generate several smaller ones and connect them as neighbors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 Update 2.2 - Multi Threading Added multi-threading to drop dirt (2-4x faster depending on your setup).Fixed map name save bug before you have a map.Moved import heightmap button to heightmap tab.Added grid size adjustment input (enter to submit). - For best results map size should be evenly divisible by grid size (powers of 2) Before:After: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 Eitr,First of all, you're amazing! So glad to have multi-threading enabled for this application, doesn't take nearly as long anymore to drop dirt. Think I might use this as a new benchmark tool for overclocking my PC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 Hmmm multi threading sounds good and is very promising. But I think that problems with heap are genereted by java controlls not by a map itself. I use my own command line program to edit maps 4096 and over and have no memory issues. For most simple modifications my code uses only two map rows. Of course dropping dirt is much more complicated question. I stay tuned for more news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 What would be wonderful would be some way to randomize the biome size. It's a bit annoying to generate the same biome multiple times just to get different sized patches of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 What would be wonderful would be some way to randomize the biome size. It's a bit annoying to generate the same biome multiple times just to get different sized patches of it. Agreed. It definitely feels like an art-form and I for one am a horrible artist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2015 Hi Eitr, I've played some night with WorldPainter and the Converter made by Captain_Chaos and what I really appreciate in his WorldPainter was the options for the brush : CheckBox "At or Above" then numerique inputCheckBox "At or Below" then numerique input (possibility to check one, none or both) CheckBox "only on" then list of the possible TileCheckBox "except on" then list of possible Tile Checkbox above, Checkbox below and an numerique field to enter slope ( possibility to check one or none) With this we should be able to make something like : Put clay except on rock above 480 below 510 intensity 30% or put cliff when slope in more than 40 It could be an improvement for the biomes generation .

Posted October 30, 2015 What would be wonderful would be some way to randomize the biome size. It's a bit annoying to generate the same biome multiple times just to get different sized patches of it. Biome size is kind of random through growth. But it applies the same growth rate to each seed on the action. Biome size is basically the max it can grow (at 100% growth rate). I could probably make the growth random on each seed, so you could set a min and max growth, and hopefully keep it consistent with saving actions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could probably make the growth random on each seed, so you could set a min and max growth, and hopefully keep it consistent with saving actions. Right now when you generate a biome, all the patches are pretty much identical in size, if not shape, that's what is annoying about it. If making the growth random on each seed would result in several different sizes in each action, I think it would go a long way towards making it far better.

Posted October 31, 2015 My maps are 8192 and heights of 16384. Like I said before it don't always run out of memory it is random when your version does it. Some times it will happen on the Erosion process and some times it's the drop dirt process and other times it's random in the biome generator. I've yet been able to get to ore generator with out this happening. In budda's and Warlanders versions this hasn't happened to me not even when I do a 16384 X 16384 map. I have 16gigs of ddr3 in my machine every stick is in 100% working order and flawless. 6gigs was devoted to java programs and the rest left to windows.Some where something is lacking to see how much ram is there cause I've watched the processing as things where being done and the generator never reached 6gigs of ram yet it says it was out and closed. Is this version 32 bit java only? or is it 64bit as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 31, 2015 Update 2.3 - Biome Improvements Added random growth rate to each seed in a batch (gives various sized biomes if using growth min/max).Fixed biome seeding so that all seeds grow a biome (instead of throwing away ones that don't match).Added biome density input to create sparse growth (higher numbers = more spread out).Greatly improved error feedback mechanism. Random biome size example (all from the same batch) Playing with different biome densities Previous Biome Action files are not compatible 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this version 32 bit java only? or is it 64bit as well? I've successfully generated an 8192 after giving it 8gb for RAM (it never actually used that much). Generated heightmap, erode it, dropped dirt, biomes, and ores. Maybe try reducing the number of iterations on your actions and manually running them several times? I've updated the error reporting so that might help troubleshoot the issue. The underlying program that does all the generating is the same as Budda's because it was built off it. So if it works on his original one, it should work on this one. Is it possible to add the ability to manually add in Biomes at set coordinates with a set size and seed? Manual biome seeding is on the todo list, but it will take a little longer to implement. Eventually 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
