[Conceptual Showoff] Automated terrain

[d3rrial]

lol why should they do that?

Complaining or using old tools? :P

[Cromon]

Basically: Both?

[Zantas]

It's a bit similar to the levitate exploit in exploring section.

The amount of those threads just was disgusting.

[Cromon]

Well, look, zantas:
At the moment the section is flooded with "Look my 2x2 chunks island" and "Look my nice hill" edits. This is kinda boring. Sometimes you have big edits with nice models and details, then its called "wow, thats just amazing!!". With generators for the terrain this will be just the normal. It will be flooded by amazingness (lol...) and there will be some uberamazing things compared to the edits today that will show up. So basically its an improvement for everyone.

And as i told:
I dont care what anybody says. I program for the public and open source. There wont be any argument that makes me do otherwise. ANd if there would be one i just dont listen :P

[Zantas]

Haha =P

Well let's just see what happens then.

[Xel]

Instead of "killing" model editing this just makes it larger-scale.
No more time wasting for basic texturing or ground shaping.

This is what they do at Blizz:
1) Basic Area Generating (with given values)
2) Special ground shaping, texturing, object adding

[Zantas]

I though this supported all kinds of special ground shaping to just skip spending too much time on that.

[Cromon]

So this is basically finished fo 2x2 ADTs. Need to wait for some people with some info to finish and release that :P

[alj03]

Ah mate, this is sweet. Going to release it when its done? :O

[liaa]

I'm not entirely sure what you're all whining about- this is a spectacular program and its applications are vast.
However it's not a "world automator". Not at all. It looks as though it just lays out groundwork for a real edit.
A real great edit comes from contouring and shaping the land to create atmosphere and a truly incredible in-game experience. A script like this is not creating a world it is merely a starting point.

[Khira]

Very good idea Cromon (like always) ! This part of World building is VERY boring. Maybe you can add to Yiasedit directly ? It is juste an idea.
Good job and good luck.

[newtech]

I really like the idea of this tool, as it will improve many peoples worldbuilds. Remember. This is just a random landscape. Its not an actual ADT which means there is still the road and trees and stuff to place :P And texture :P

[Flagg78]

this is completly awesome! i cant wait.

[newtech]

I really do hope you release this tool

[Breakdawn]

I won't ever use that program, i didn't see any cool terrains in the screenshots sorry
