Small maps won't gen
« on: July 14, 2008, 03:52:25 pm »

For some reason, after I successfully gen a couple of worlds, the game won't gen a small sized world for whatever reason. It would work fine for a few times, then just get stuck in an infinite reject.

All the other sizes work fine. I didn't mess with the advanced worldgen settings either. No mods added or removed. Is this happening to anyone else?

I can generate repeated pockets without an issue.  Is there a formulaic way to reproduce this (after deleting any saved parameters in the data/init folder if you have any)?

I meant "small" sized maps, sorry. Pocket, smaller, medium, and large work except "small" size.

All I did was open and close the program a few times after genning a few worlds. Didn't use ctrl-alt-del either.

Here's the save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=292

The folder has saved world gen parameters in the data/init folder, and the small is overwritten with one that isn't going to work.  You just need to delete your params or fix that entry.

Ah! so deleting the params will reset them to 'factory' defaults?

I wish these [e]xpanded settings would't overwrite the parameters unless asked to do so,
or create a fresh entry if neccesary (like SMALL_1).
