Are there any 3d visualisers for 31.18?
« on: November 20, 2010, 10:46:04 am »
I want to get a better feel for the site I'm embarking on so I can plan out my fort better, I'm not using anything other than Phoebus's graphic pack, which basically means that I've been micromanaging everything in my fort.

If there aren't, will I be able to use the world generated for 31.16?

I don't think there are (in fact I don't think there are ANY visualizers that work with .18 yet) but yea you should be able to generate a world in .16 and move the save to .18 without issue.

What I was asking was if I could take the world I'm using right now which was generated by 31.18 and use it in the previous version?

Oh my bad.

When I tried it way back in a previous version doing that was a no-go.

I haven't tried with this version though, so If you really need to visualize something I would give it a shot just copying the save.  But I would not be hopeful.

Not necessarily - I tried this with a particular save and it didn't work. It is possible that there were shenanigans involved with this particular file, though.

You could try exporting your worldgen parameters in legends mode, then using those (including the seeds) to generate a world in .16. That should give you the same world, but genned in .16, so no issues.

is indeed working with 31.18 all you need to do is download the memory.xml file from here
