Title: [MOD] (Alpha 3F) Map Generators - Fertile Plains & Snowy Worlds
Post by: ItchyFlea on April 10, 2014, 10:34:46 PM
Fertile Plains v1.0


Description:
These mods change the terrain generator.
Fertile Plains: This mod removes both the edge mountain and sand.
Fertile Plains - Edge Mountain: This mod just removes sand.
Fertile Plains - Caves: This mod generates a decently sized cave for you to start in. (Can cause problems. Read mod description in-game.)
Fertile Plains - Impenetrable Mountain: The Edge Mountain cannot be mined out.
Fertile Plains - Coast: Generates a shoreline along one of the map edges. Who said this uncharted RimWorld couldn't have a nice coast to relax by. (The water reduces walking speed to 10%)
Fertile Plains - Valley: Two mountains generate here. One to the North, and the other to the South, creating a nice valley.

Mod Team:
Downloads:
These four have only one side of the map open.
These are exactly like the ones above, except they don't generate thick roofs.

Mod Compatibility:
Download these if you wish to use this terrain generator with a specific mod that also changes the terrain generator.
Please note that I have not tested these versions for BetterPower+ but they should work.
Screenshots:
I stitched together 3 complete maps that are 200x200.

Snowy Worlds v1.0

Description:
These mods change the terrain generator.
Snowy Worlds: Nearly identical to the normal generator, except generates a snow covered landscape.
Snowy Worlds - Valley: Two mountains generate here. One to the North, and the other to the South, creating a nice, snowy valley.

I really like this mod :) I always wanted more grassy green area to farm and grow flowers to look all nice but it's always all sand. This mod goes great with the Wood Economy mod making nice little farms.

This looks pretty nice, it's an interesting change from the frequent mountains and desert of the regular game. This plus wood economy might make a very pretty looking more forested planet for players to work with

Snow biome!  Lava planet!  Complete mountain land with tiny hole in the middle where you crash land!  :P  That last one is probably doable actually.

You could make that one, would be neat.  Hide empty areas inside the mountain where you mine around and hit an empty pocket and the game says "You've discovered an area" or something.  :P  I remember bumping into areas before.

Post by: ItchyFlea on April 15, 2014, 07:28:56 PM
I've done the last one, but it causes several problems with animals. The game considers them to be serious problems, and as such the dev console pops up every couple of seconds.

I've toyed with adding lava to the game.
Here's some screenshots of different methods I've tried for adding it: (Texture is from Google)

Might be able to do snow as well, but haven't tried.

Well, you could leave one edge exposed.  Like a sort of tunnel or dead end canyon.  Or perhaps, even better, would be having multiple holes.  In the images below, black is mountain, brown is ground.

Canyon:

Multiple Areas:
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30270697/holesrimworld.png)

Also, lava should be harmful, and destroy items on top of it, as well as killing any creature who touches it.  You'd also need another mod to use lava but anyway, lava isn't part of this discussion.  :P  Can private message me if you want some ideas on lava.  I'm currently bug testing Better Power + and some other things.

This is very interesting ItchyFlea. It could make interesting gameplay to have differing biomes, or maybe possibly some sort of seasonal change. ;) ...is this even possible?

Uploaded a version which includes the edge mountain. :)

And now there's a version that's basically a decently-sized cave. Unfortunately there are errors with this one. Read the in-game mod description for more info. Most of the game's systems are designed for a world that is open, so a cave screws up those systems.

Itchy,
Made compatible versions of the mountains and caves. You can put them under mod compatibility if you wish.

Added a 4th generator. This one is pretty much identical to the Edge Mountain one, except that the mountain is made of a new rock type that cannot be mined.

It's actually a part of an unannounced mod I'm working on (major hints about it can be found in this thread (http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=3184.0)) but I figured I'd post this, as it will more than likely create a unique experience.

Nope. Fertile Plains for Industrial RIM will work by itself. Just remember to activate it after you have activated Industrial RIM.
However it is for a previous version of Industrial RIM. The only differences between v1.0.0 and v1.1.2 I know of for the map generator are the sizes of some ore deposits.

For the cave version, I believe you should make it generate with 10 blocks of ground between the edges of the map and the inside of the map all the way around, this would prevent a lot of errors I believe.  Or take the suggestion of a canyon and have one edge exposed by default with a large inner area.  :P  Like my image.
Title: Re: [MOD] (Alpha 3F) Fertile Plains (v.1.0)
Post by: ItchyFlea on April 22, 2014, 08:39:05 PM
From what I understand, the generator doesn't work in that way, and I don't know enough about C# to be able to make my own that does. Although I could be wrong. As there's still a ton of things I'm learning, including ways of generating things that I initially thought were not possible, such as this: http://i.imgur.com/TfmEx4N.png (Coastal colonies anyone? In-progress version will be released in about 6 hours.)

I'll revisit the cave generator in a few days, after I've learned more about how to manipulate the generator via .xml. I do like the canyon idea, and will be experimenting to try and get something like that next.  :)

Post by: Vas on April 22, 2014, 10:19:52 PM
I have one idea for one that is like your coastal, but no thick roof anywhere.  So you can mine out every mountain completely and they all be gone permanently.  This could also go with some of your other light mountain generation maps where there is little mountain and much land.  It's really too bad you can't select the type of map generated when you click new colony.  You have to download new map generators all the time and figure out which one to activate in your mod menu.  It'd be nice to have a button to select the type of map you load, like those advanced options with map size that you can select.

What happens when you walk into the water by the way? On that map.
Title: Re: [MOD] (Alpha 3F) Fertile Plains (v.1.0)
Post by: ItchyFlea on April 23, 2014, 12:56:13 AM
I'll post a suggestion in the appropriate forum regarding selectable map generators.
As for the water, it's just like any other walkable tile, although in this case movement speed is slowed right down to 10%. I'll look into removing the thick roofs and if that works, I'll post versions of all the generators with the option of no thick roofs, along with the coastal generator. Shouldn't take too long. :D

I think I'm going to have to considering renaming this entire thread, since it's starting to become a large collection of map generators. :)

EDIT: They've been posted. Also posted versions that don't generate thick roofs.  ;D
Title: Re: [MOD] (Alpha 3F) Fertile Plains (v.1.0)
Post by: Vas on April 23, 2014, 11:57:44 AM
Well, you could make the coastal waters have no walkable for deep water, if you can make it generate deep water 3-5 blocks out with patches of shallow water in it?  Shallow water 7-10% walk speed.  If you really wanted, deep water could still have 5% walk speed.  With sharks!  xD
Title: Re: [MOD] (Alpha 3F) Fertile Plains (v.1.0)
Post by: ItchyFlea on April 23, 2014, 05:47:27 PM
At the moment, at least from what I can tell (when testing to make lava for a lava-world) tiles cannot be set as unwalkable, at least not at the moment. As for generating deep water further out, well it could be done, but with only a 25% chance that it would actually generate in the water.
What I'm using to generate the coastline randomly chooses what side of the map it generates on. I'd have to write a generator class if I wanted control over where it generates. Unfortunately my C# skills are virtually non-existent.

Then again, just last week I thought it was impossible to generate a coastline at all, so in another week I might figure out how to get it done. :D

Post by: Tynan on April 23, 2014, 05:48:24 PM
If you set the path cost to something over 10000 I think the game would intepret that as unwalkable.

Title: Re: [MOD] (Alpha 3F) Fertile Plains (v.1.0)
Post by: ItchyFlea on April 24, 2014, 05:02:17 AM
The problem with an edge mountain and shoreline is that the generator doesn't allow for specific placement of the edge mountain or shoreline, so in theory, there is a chance that they generate on top of each other. I'll see what I can do to reduce that. I personally hate spending a few minutes getting the ideal colonists (trying to get myself with decent skills feels weird), only to have a map that doesn't work for my intended storyline.  :-\

Well since you can change which genner it uses, I'll try alter the original and make it spawn them at opposite sides.

Nice! ... One question though: Could it happen that you are completly walled of? The last screenshot has only the west open, so do you have programmed in that at least either east or west are free for visitors?

I hadn't thought of that, but I guess it's possible to end up completely walled off. A solution to this will probably take a few days. In the mean-time a workaround solution would be to mine into the rock at one end of the world.

Sure. :)
I've re-uploaded the .7z file for Valley, so you should grab that if you grabbed the initial version. (I haven't changed the version number, as the change I made was very small.)
I've also added a brief note mentioning what I've added to the mountain genner, and what the value ranges are. Included in that note is blanket permission to anyone who wishes to use it in their own mod.

I'm also working on changing the terrain patch generator so that it can generate patches of rock instead of just terrain. That will be finished after I get some sleep. Something tells me coding at 2am is a bad thing. Especially since I don't know the C# language. :D

Yet another generator has been added. This one is something I've wanted to make for a while. This generates two mountains, one to the North and one to the South, creating a valley. :D

I love this one (http://i.imgur.com/z9iN8mo.png) the most.  Can you make a generator that always has 3 sides as mountain and always leaves one side open?

One side does always need to be open or you do start getting script errors.  Kinda sucks.  Would be nice to have it totally walled off and stop most visitors and animals.  :P

Yes. Here's 4 generators, one for each specific open side, as well as screenshots of what they generate. (West is a special case, 9 times out of 10 it won't generate like that.)

Would be even better if it could just randomly select one side to leave open and the other 3 closed off.  :P  But anyway.  I'll try out the west one for a bit.  Since I'm on a wide screen (like pretty much everyone else in the world) it makes sense that you'd want east or west open.

What I've learned about the map generator over the past couple of weeks. This isn't meant to be a tutorial on how to add specific things, but rather just a collection of things explaining what I think various parts of the generator do.

First off, Tynan has noted throughout the map generator .xml file what various parts do. I'm going to try and explain what each tag inside those classes does.
I'll be quoting various parts of code from the map generator .xml file, and I'll try to do it in order from top to bottom.

Code Select
<li Class="Genner_FloatGridFadedCircle">
<gridName>Sanctity</gridName>
<radiusInner>12</radiusInner>
<radiusOuter>35</radiusOuter>
</li>
I'm fairly certain this part basically tells the game to ensure that the colonists have an open space to land in, rather than landing in a hill.

Code Select
<li Class="Genner_RandomSelector">
This line is followed by 3 sections, which have various 'weights' attached to them, indicating how likely it is that the game will choose that generator for the main layout of where hills, sand, soil, etc are located on the map.

Specifically:
Code Select
            <genner Class="Genner_FloatGridPerlin">
              <gridName>TerrainIntensity</gridName>
              <perlinConfig>
                <ampLow>0.4</ampLow>
                <ampMid>0.3</ampMid>
                <ampHigh>0.3</ampHigh>
              </perlinConfig>
            </genner>
This is what determines that. The three tags, ampLow, ampMid and ampHigh ultimately determine the main layout of the map. I don't know what each of those do, but they have something to do where the generator places rock.

Code Select
      <li Class="Genner_FloatGridGrossFade">
        <gridName>TerrainIntensity</gridName>
        <skipChance>0.2</skipChance>
        <possibleFadeSpans>
          <li>0.43</li>
          <li>0.43</li>
          <li>0.43</li>
          <li>0.1</li>
        </possibleFadeSpans>
      </li>
This is the edge mountain generator. There's a 20% chance a map will not contain one at all (<skipChance>), and a 25% chance that it'll be a thin one that can barely be dug into, the 4 items listed under <possibleFadeSpans>. It randomly chooses what side of the map it'll be placed on.

Code Select
      <li Class="Genner_ThingsFromGrid">
<gridName>TerrainIntensity</gridName>
<thresholds>
<li>
<thingDef>Rock</thingDef>
<maxGridVal>0.45</maxGridVal>
</li>
</thresholds>
</li>
This is how much of the map should be composed of mineable rock. The value ranges between 0 and 1. At this point I'm going to point out this tag: <gridName>TerrainIntensity</gridName>
From what I understand, while the game generates the world, it is normally composed of two layers, the first is named Sanctity, the second TerrainIntensity. Santity is the area where your colonists land, and as such is always void of rock, regardless of whether or not the rest of the world is made of it.
You can create your own separate layers, giving them different names. I suggest reading this thread for a bit more insight into how you make a new layer: http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=3184.0

Making a new layer allows you to place different types of rock on the map. I initially used this for creating the Impenetrable Mountain generator, and have since done so for the others.

Code Select
<li Class="Genner_RoofsFromGrid">
<gridName>TerrainIntensity</gridName>
<thresholds>
<li>
<roofDef>RoofRockThick</roofDef>
            <maxGridVal>0.40</maxGridVal>
</li>
<li>
<roofDef>RoofRockThin</roofDef>
            <maxGridVal>0.43</maxGridVal>
          </li>
</thresholds>
</li>
I think this section is fairly self-explanatory. If you want to get rid of thick roofs, change the <maxGridVal> to 0. If you want to get rid of all types of roof, change both <maxGridVal> to 0.

Code Select
<li Class="Genner_TerrainFromGrid">
<gridName>TerrainIntensity</gridName>
<thresholds>
<li>
<terrainDef>RoughStone</terrainDef>
            <maxGridVal>0.46</maxGridVal>
          </li>
<li>
<terrainDef>Gravel</terrainDef>
<maxGridVal>0.47</maxGridVal>
</li>
<li>
<terrainDef>Soil</terrainDef>
            <maxGridVal>0.51</maxGridVal>
          </li>
          <li>
            <terrainDef>Sand</terrainDef>
            <maxGridVal>100</maxGridVal>
</li>
</thresholds>
</li>
This determines how much of the world is covered by differing types of terrain. All 4 list items must always be present in this generator, otherwise the game will crash. If you want to, for example, get rid of sand, you can either change it's value to 0, or if you want the game to place a different type of terrain where it otherwise would have placed sand, change the <terrainDef> tag to what you want. For Fertile Plains, I changed it to Soil.

Code Select
<li Class="Genner_TerrainPatches">
<terrainDef>SoilRich</terrainDef>
<patchSizeRange>
<min>7</min>
<max>11</max>
</patchSizeRange>
<patchesPer10kSquaresRange>
<min>0.7</min>
<max>2</max>
</patchesPer10kSquaresRange>
</li>
This I think is also self-explanatory. This is the part that tells the game where to put those patches of rich soil. You can use this to have other types of terrain placed randomly around the map.

Code Select
<li Class="Genner_ScatterMinerals">
<thingDefs>
<li>Mineral</li>
</thingDefs>
<chunkSize>29</chunkSize>
<minSpacing>5</minSpacing>
<countPer10kSquaresRange>
<min>10</min>
<max>10</max>
</countPer10kSquaresRange>
<forcedPlaceOffsets>
<li>(-5,0,-11)</li>
</forcedPlaceOffsets>
</li>
This is the part that determines how big each patch of metal is, as well as how many of those patches will be generated in the world.
<forcedPlaceOffsets> tells the game to make that metal patch that's always present next to your colonists when you start a new colony. If you want to add new ores to the game (lets say a patch of coal) you'd change this    <thingDefs><li>Mineral</li></thingDefs> to the name of your new coal resource, and you'd want to get rid of the <forcedPlaceOffsets> tag, or at least change the values, so the game doesn't overlap the patches.

Code Select
<li Class="Genner_ScatterThingGroups">
<thingDefs>
<li>RawPotatoes</li>
<li>RawBerries</li>
<li>Metal</li>
<li>Metal</li>
<li>Silver</li>
</thingDefs>
<minSpacing>15</minSpacing>
<countPer10kSquaresRange>
<min>1.7</min>
<max>1.7</max>
</countPer10kSquaresRange>
<spotMustBeStandable>true</spotMustBeStandable>
<groupSizeRange>
<min>3</min>
<max>6</max>
</groupSizeRange>
<stackCountRange>
<min>40</min>
<max>60</max>
</stackCountRange>
</li>
This is how the game decides where to put all those various piles of potatoes, berries, etc, when you start a new colony.
If you add a new resources to the game, and want it to be present when you start a new world, you'd either add it to this, by adding a new list item (<li>ResourceName</li>) or by copying and pasting this entire section, and changing the various values to what you need.

And that about covers it.

For a bit more info that discusses how I went about creating new layers, which allowed me to create the Impenetrable Mountain, Coastline, Valley mods, see this thread: http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=3184.0

I also suggest having a look at the .xml files for the various generators to see exactly what I've done to accomplish different things.



When the game just doesn't have enough flexibility, you can write your own genner, or modify and existing one to give yourself that flexibility.
Feel free to use the .dll below in your own mod. Just mention my name in the mod credits.
In the case of the Valley map generator, I needed to be able to control where the game placed the edge mountain, rather than letting it randomly choose where to put it.
As such, I created this .dll: MountainGenner.dll (http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2910.0;attach=2088)

What I essentially did was add another tag that I could use to indicate which side of the map I wanted the mountain to be placed on.
That tag is named: <gridSide>
The values that can be placed in there range from 0 to 3. Each indicates a different side of the map. 0= East, 1= North,  2= West, 3= South

This is the code I used to have a mountain generated on either side of the map, creating the Valley generator:
Code Select
<li Class="SideGenner.OptionalSide, MountainGenner">
<gridName>SideGrid</gridName>
<gridSide>1</gridSide>
<possibleFadeSpans>
<li>0.33</li>
</possibleFadeSpans>
</li>

<li Class="SideGenner.OptionalSide, MountainGenner">
<gridName>SideGrid</gridName>
<gridSide>3</gridSide>
<possibleFadeSpans>
<li>0.33</li>
</possibleFadeSpans>
</li>

Who were you saying that too? :P

What I was asking for, is a way to randomize which side is open.  You posted 4 separate versions of the 3 sided mountains.  But why not just one version where the game will randomly pick which 3 sides are covered?  Instead of having it always on the same sides.
Title: Re: [MOD] (Alpha 3F) Fertile Plains (v.1.0)
Post by: Haplo on April 29, 2014, 02:59:34 PM
I think what he means is, if you do this in your code and set the gridSide to -1:
Code Select

        public override void Generate()
        {
            if (gridSide < 0)
                fadeDir = (int)System.Math.Floor(UnityEngine.Random.Range(0.0f, 3.99999f));
            else
                fadeDir = gridSide;
            ...
        }


This way you have an optional random side generator.
(But it's not always said, that a valley is generated...)

Trees are coming in A4, so when that's released I'll just rip out the cactus entirely from the snow generators. Until then I'll leave the cactus in as is. Mainly because I can't draw textures to save myself.

Is it possible to get an OSO to generate stone debris? I like the map but something seems to break that doesn't let the stone debris spawn and I haven't been able to figure it out on my own.

I never noticed that. For some reason, the debris genner is breaking. I'll see what I can do to fix it.

this mod is amaze. what about a coast/valley hybrid? I love having a beach but miss the snugness of the valleys.

hmm... any possibility of a "river/canyon" version with water in the middle and mountains on the side?

A river canyon type thing is something I've looked into in the past. At the time I wasn't able to find a way to implement it with my limited programming knowledge. It is something I want to do though, so we'll hopefully see something in the future.

That's because this is for Alpha 3F.

The Alpha 4F version can be found in this thread, here: [MOD] (Alpha 4F) Map Generator Pack v1.1 (http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=3750.0)
