*Sirens* *Thread is rushed in the emergency room* "Quick! Get the Bump Machine! Ready... CLEAR!" *Zap* .... "It worked! It's back!" *Cheers*

Anyway, I think I should get a prize for starting this flood of terrain generators. :p

im ready to DL it, but this makes me stop "The new terrain does not show up on the minimap."

im a terrainer, and i always get tired when making some cool looking random terrain in some large maps, that cause bad looking terrain, i heard this thread and seems its nice, it gives all the work for u, but hearing "The new terrain does not show up on the minimap." makes me fell tired again...

and i really thought it was a program after all, but when i scrolled down, i saw a giant wall of triggers....

but anyways, +rep cause this can help other people except me...:p

Click to expand...

Really? I thought you should get shot! Ha! >_<
Lol, this is a pandemic not a miracle. One is enough. More than enough really, I think a 3rd party program that terrains in WE for you would be better.

Once I learn and completely read Visual C++/C++ For Dummies (Yes, I have that book, the ending is quite predictable towards people like me :p), I'll take a shot at making one. Maybe. I'm not sure. :D

You might want to add in Doodads also :p

You weren't talking to me with that, right? That's been discussed.

Come on! I'll bet there are things I could do better! Give me some! (No, I'm not going to convert doodads to destructables for the demo map. If someone wants to do it themselves, be my guest.)

What's JASS?

I think I'm going to have to wait on that. I need some more experience before I do it.

I guess you can add special effects with doodad models that are like "doodads". Of course, that would leak. xD

And weather/fog.

And Jass.

Didn't dhk add doodads?

In the form of destructibles, with the correct field checked they can't be destroyed.

Yes. But I'm not.

Because it makes it more difficult to implement.

The way it is, you just switch out your terrain types and destructables.
If I were to create new destructables, then someone that has a different tileset would have to change them all to make them fit that tileset.
I think it has more flexibility without doodads.

Plus, would you really want to copy paste all those destructables as doodads and add them in the triggers?

This could be really helpful for my map Ghan, would you mind if I use the coding for my FF7 Murder Mystery map? I plan to randomize the ground around the center, then keep the center the same, since that will be the spawn point for the "victims".

Not at all. That's what it's here for. Though, I am in the process of converting the triggers to JASS. If you want, you can wait for that version, which will be, of course, more efficient and generally better.

I like it Ghan

I am kinda doing the same thing, but only with randomly generated regions, not the entire map, however, I like the way yours LOOKS a lot better than the garbage mine churns out. Is there any way to set yours to only work on a certain region?

It's all set up for you. There is a region variable called AffectedRegion. Just set that to what you want, run the triggers, and it will only generate terrain in that region. Though, it's not exact. It will exceed the boundaries a little, so don't expect a perfect square. :p

The time has arrived.

YES! IT HAS HAPPENED!!

I'm not kidding here, folks.

Ghan has done something... big.

He has:

USED JASS! :p

Yes. The system now has a JASS version.

But.

GET OFF ME! Of course, I don't expect it to be anywhere close to perfect. But it works. And it's quite a sight nicer that what it used to be. :p

The end result is quite nice.

Great job.

Just one problem: I removed the waits (In case someone wants to make that terrain generator instant) and it didn't create the destructibles.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
