For looking at your generated maps in one large png picture, useful to find out where everything is.

The example image from that thread: http://i.imgur.com/zVOIu.png <- SPOILERS

Though I'm pretty sure that's a large world, I'm also pretty sure anyone's concerns that they might ever run out of room can be safely put to rest.

... No, that's a small world.

my small world is also 4200x1200 pixels, a large world is... 8400x2400

Also using this tool I've discovered that

Forests are (probably) always under a corrupt zone, and (probably) always exist at the depth you see both lava and water.

I just thought of a PvP system.

2 Teams of 4, set equipment (Weapons and Tools mainly)
Objective, FILL a Designed hollow Ebonstone Statue with Magma perhaps.
1 of each type of class. One Weapon at a time.
Classes are Ranged, Melee, Magic, Builder.
The Ranged can carry Bows, Guns, Rifles and such.
The Melee is your Swords, Hammers, Axes.
The Magic is with any of the Wands (ONLY 1 At a TIME)
The Builder is with the Grapple and the only one with it, he can choose between Ranged or Melee for weapons.

The Builder's Job is to Construct the Defenses around their Monument, they can be assisted but they get are the only Class who gets an Inv full of building Mats, he needs to hand them out for others to help.

Anyone can carry the Buckets of Magma, but there is only 4 on each side.

Also inside your base is Summon items for your opponent's Magic User to find and use, thus summoning EoC or EoWs inside your base...

The Melee is the only one (other then the builder if he chooses Melee weapons) who can destroy constructions that is built by the other team, but no weapon destroying weapon is above Gold.

Extend on these ideas...

Finally got an Ivy whip.
So what if we generated a small world specifically to look for the Jungle

Though I'm pretty sure that's a large world, I'm also pretty sure anyone's concerns that they might ever run out of room can be safely put to rest.

Actually, I'm 99.9% sure that's a small world. Here's my small world in comparison. In terms of HD space, a small world's png is ~1.3 megs, medium, strangely, only about the same. A large world, however, is 5.41 megs on my computer. It's 8400x2400 resolution! Not sure if that translates into blocks, but... probably. Probably. It'd fit the "few miles wide" thing the devs stated at one point.

I've also uploaded a .zip with a sample of each world to mediafire, here. Would have just linked them, but apparently five meg .pngs make the browsers I use implode when trying to upload them, or something. Everything but the medium one's pretty pristine, and even that one's not been messed with much.

Anyway, from what I gather, if resolution=blocks, each size increases the world by 2100 blocks of width and 600 blocks of height. A large world's dimensions are doubled compared to a small one.

Re: Jungles, though, it seems more like part of them are always underneath corruption, but not necessarily all of it. Also, how far up and down it goes is pretty random. I've got one in one world (the large one in the zip) that stretches all the way from the top to just barely above the hell layer. Some part of it probably does stick around lava/water areas.

So no thoughts on my PVP idea???

[Itnetlolor]

Just used the viewer out of curiosity to check out my starter world, and I must say, small worlds are surprisingly big, and apparently what I initially thought was digging deep is actually rather shallow. I may need a bunch more torches. Also thanks to this viewer, I now realize that a couple ores I've been searching for have been just in the shadows of where I already setup my site. I'll have to take a moment to destroy the path and then repair it after mining.

Somebody should start a new server with the rule that we all enter as new characters, with nothing but default stuff, then 15 minutes in PvP is turned on, and no teams allowed.

*pops shadow orb* *A meteor has landed!* *toodles around looking for meteor* *... finds it*

Spoiler: What loving god would allow this to happen!? (click to show/hide)

Yes, that's a corruption chasm.

Arghlefwargle. Screw that. I went home

[Urist Imiknorris]

Quick question: Does ebonstone count as "corruption" with regards to spreading/creature spawns? Because that might be a problem for my future ebonstone warp tower.

[Frumple]

I... I'm not sure. I've got a few hundred ebonstone blocks sitting around. Let's find out!

[Urist Imiknorris]

I've got one sitting next to a tree to see if it spreads corruption. Nothing yet.

download link seems to be too busy or something, can anyone put it in a dropbox or something for us?

EDIT: nevermind, got it.

[Frumple]

Building a little solid tower-like construction of just shy of 200 blocks definitely causes the sky to start darkening. Gonna' hop over and get the rest of my ebonstone and see if I can get eaters to spawn

EDIT: Another ~150 stone and I've got eaters confirmed. Ebonstone causes corruption spawning, but not corruption spread.
EDIT2: *promptly builds a little house on top of the corruption tower for that world's guide*

[Urist Imiknorris]

Well that sucks. I think I'm going to have to use obsidian then.

EDIT: Just jumped down a chasm and found five demon altars on the way down.

[Max White]

Hmm, I have a rod that can move dirt, and a staff that can plant grass... Brilliant!
