[39a] World Editor maybe a little too difficult?
« on: July 14, 2008, 10:57:44 am »

When using the world editor - for me - for some reason changing any of the param sets or options causes my editor to go into an infinite cycle when generating a random world based upon it. This basically renders the editor useless for massively funky worlds. This may not be a bug, but it just seems alot of options become useless as they generate only a infinite cycle.

I believe Toady mentioned there was a way to negate rejection criteria.  Look through his recent posts...

I think the controls are a little too tough to handle on mine...

Allow me to demonstrate:

Just use Ctrl-F10, it's obvious you don't get the genius dwarven logic.

I think the only way we're going to get working worlds is by copying the default ones and modifying piecewise...

I think the cause of infinite looping might be that the game is repeating the same seed multiple times...

EDIT: Does anyone know how to make it gen volcanoes?  I have vulcanism all the way up, and they aren't being created..
There's also a separate "minimum volcano" setting. But if you turn it up too high it'll reject maps forever. I set it to 35 and there are more than enough volcanoes for me.

OK, don't tweak the minimum vulcanism that much...  setting it to 15 is as high as you'll ever need it.  Otherwise the game will worry about even volcano distribuition...
