It is not normal. Does it eventually finish the generation? How long does it stay on "generating random pois"? Which settings are you using?

sidewalks look nice

Any news on RWG?

You need to put KingGen somewhere where it has writing permission. This error is saying that it cannot save the config file. Or run it in as administrator.

Version 0.5.0 released! Here is what's new: Improved village generation (now smoother) Added option for all custom sizes 5K,6K,7K.... Added city grid size option Added spawn points option Added button to increase and decrease number of generations Added header image Added check for newer versions available Added Rtree data structure for cities towns and villages locations

I see. Let me explain how it works. When you select snow size, you are actually selecting the elevation at which snow will start to appear. Small snow means higher than 150 elevation, medium means higher than 110 and large means higher than 70. So, if you generate large or small mountains that has an impact on snow too. Since you brought it up, I have added "Check snow and mountains balance" to the todo list.

Are you using the option "small mountains" too? if so, that has an impact on snow.

I haven't looked into that yet.

Traders have a certain probability to spawn. When you select "increased", every city and every town will have a trader. When you select "medium", about 70% of cities and towns will have a trader. If you try a few times you should be able to see that with "medium" some cities do not have a trader. I tried small and medium snow and for me they are different. Are you sure?

Great! I am not sure why being on a different drive would cause it not to work. Perhaps it's a matter of permissions

Alright, sorry about that. If you want to give it one more try, you could run it inside a terminal window with the command: .\KingGen.exe KingGenWorld 4 | more This might give us more info about the error. Hey man, I know that formatting a computer might seem a daunting task. Believe me, I have been there. But after you have done it, you actually realize it is fairly easy. It's been probably 10 years now that I format my computer once a year. It keeps everything fresh and running smoothly. The trick is to keep your stuff organized, so when the time comes, you immediately know what to backup and what to leave. Btw since Win 10, you don't need a licence anymore. You can download the original one from Microsoft's website and just keep it "unactivated" (with some minor restrictions).

@Gamida doesn't it give you an error message? They are called "KingGenConfig.txt" and they are saved twice. Once inside the generated world and once right next to KingGen. Every time you generate a world, the configuration is dumped inside the world, so that if you need to, you can always know how that particular world was generated. A copy of the config is also saved next to KingGen executable file so that next time you open KingGen, it will remember the last configuration.

12k option is also already in KingGen. Pois and roads are mostly fine. It's only on mountains that terracing happens and cities never spawn on mountains.

I will, but I don't see the need. Btw if you use the command line interface (see guide on page 1) there are no limitations to the sizes you can choose.

Yes, I am aware of those. They happen only in villages and only on mountains. It's because the terrain is not levelled. I have to come up with something

That's great news! Thank you

Version 0.4.0 released! Here is what's new: Improved village generation. Now villages spawn on mountains and are connected one another by roads. Added option to generate multiple worlds at once. Added terrain roughness option. Added single-city option. Added no-preview option to make generation faster. Added check when creating cities. The game now tells you which pois are missing from the custom list. Added check to skip commented/empy/wrongly-formatted lines in custom list. Added button to open worlds folder. Expanded tips at the top. Added link to KingGen page. Added settings files. Seed is now optional Player spawns are now closer to traders. Added "reset to default settings" button. @Gamida @Rukminesh, v0.4.0 was built with Python 3.8. Please let me know if it works on Win7.

By definition, unsupported software does not recieve security updates, while supported software does. Support for windows 7 ended a while back.

I thought about it, but my laptop is plenty slow already and i don't like this alternative 😕

Thank you for the long feedback. Are you using the option "vanilla+compo" or are you using "custom list" and then the list provided by Compo Pack? I recommend the latter, at least until KingGen is updated. If this doesn't solve your problems, I think there might be an issue with some CP pois. Here is the thing: I have 3 machines where I test KingGen. One with Python 3.9, one with 3.8 and one with 3.7. KingGen works on all of them. Coincidentally, the one with Python 3.9 is the one I use to build KingGen for Windows. Moreover, I already use the machine with Python 3.8 to build KingGen for Linux. Python 3.8 is a perfectly fine and, more importantly, still maintained version of Python and my code does not use any Python-3.9-only features. I have downgrated my machine already to 3.8. No biggie. Let's have a go. It might still not work for Win7 (the real fix would be for me to have a Win7 machine to build from, but I don't like that option). If it doesn't work, I might just update everything to the very new Python 3.10, with its awesome new pattern matching feature!

Thank you for letting me know, i will try to figure out something.

@Rukminesh@Gamida Windows 7 is not compatible with python 3.9. I will downgrade to python 3.8 and build KingGen v0.4.0 there. Then you can try it and let me know if it works, (it might also happen that we fixed one issue, but something else comes up). I will let you know when v0.4.0 is out. I hope around tomorrow night.

How about you guys just update to win10? Im joking

Thank you. I will have a look, but I cannot guarantee I can fix it.

It does not work with win7 because I am building it under win10. Maybe I could fix that, by including the missing files inside the executable. Would you mind showing me the error message that you are getting?
