JodoKirvanti Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I have been playing around with Nitrogen for the last week. It seems like it is/was a great tool. However, many of the POI's that generate into my map are broken. The best example is that drawbridges seem to just look like stacks of wood, some buildings have blocks filling them in (look like they have a marble texture, etc). I have given up on getting a fully working map. The only mod I'm using is Compo 47 for Nitrogen and it is a must. I'm hosting a new game for my birthday next week. Can anyone point me to a place where there are already some working 8k maps that use Compo 47? Or would someone with a working version be willing to create me a strong map with many of the 47 POI's? I really want Quiet Pines, the TV Tower Restaurant, and the Castle M1 present. Also, on a side note, I saw that someone had created a Nitrogen map that used the United Kingdom as the landmass but that it is buggy and doesn't work well. I'd really like to get one like that working! That sounds like a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in vanilla. The drawbridge one is not fixed tho this way but when you get closer it will change to the actual block.

7daysexpert Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Stallionsden he doesnt have to exit game what he can do is hit the F1 key then type in pois that should fix it and is there anyway you could maybe get nitrogen into the mods and vanilla? As im kinda tired of having rocky mountain roads XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple times with multiple maps. It did not correct it. The drawbridges, where this error occurs, does not correct when I walk up to it. They also have the interior of the castles with the same issue with the marble-like blocks. Players on my server all encountered the same issue for the same POI each visit. It's definitely something with my install of Nitrogen or Compo (I include Compo because it hasn't happened on any Vanilla POI's). I did try uninstalling both Nitrogen and 7DtD (and reinstalled Compo) to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not be close enough. does all the players have the prefabs on the client side game prefab folder to.

Yeh it sometimes does to. But more often then not exiting and re entering fixes the marble texture bug . Occasionally have to do it a couple times. But yeh either worth a try.

Star69 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I'm having difficulty getting the nitrogen map I generated to work correctly. I'm sure it's a "me" problem but I just can't figure what I did wrong. I rent a dedicated server from Bluefang. I used Nitrogen to create an 8k map named TurtleSoup. Using the explanation that Guppy made in the first post, I took the Nitrogen output folder TurtleSoup and uploaded it to the Data/Worlds folder on the server. On the command line, I changed the GameName to TurtleSoup and the WorldGenSeed to TurtleSoup. I then started the server and it spent 40 minutes generating a new map so obviously didn't pick up the uploaded folder. Are there other command line changes that I need to edit? Such as changing GameWorld=RWG to something else or userdatafolder=worldgen to something else? I'm feeling sort of stupid not being able to figure this out. Thanks in advance.

SylenThunder Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Gameworld=RWG should be changed to GameWorld="TurtleSoup" for it to use the uploaded world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Thank you, I knew it was something simple I was doing wrong. I’ve been wanting to try this map generator for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiting a half dozen times seems to work but doing that for every POI is cumbersome. Might just use a RWG map instead of Nitrogen. It doesn't happen on those.

Ive never had trouble with 16k maps SP, but everyone else Ive known that uses them have seemed to. 10k makes sense on a server with 20+ players, and there are tools to reload regions, so its doable, but the server admins need to have the resources and the ability to reset those regions. Well i always played 16k maps and i did not have any problems what so ever that being said i do have 1 issue and that sometimes when i generated one i could not load into the map but thats about as far as the problems go.

But I'll be more clear: It happens on every Nitrogen Map I create. I have generated 6 RWG worlds and it hasn't happened at all to me. I just can't get the POI's I want in a RWG world for some reason so I was hoping there was a solution or someone had a working Nitrogen map that fit my needs. It seems that's a no.

JCrook1028 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Sadly the fact is that Nitrogen is a wonderful tool that has been abandoned and is limping along on life support. Best we can really hope for is A20 TFP incorporate most of it's good stuff into vanilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you all anyway for trying to help. I'm learning! @Jodo .. if we are still talking about marble texture block issue here .. Yes it is a Vanilla bug and TFP are aware .. But seems to happen more in Nitrogen Now than it used to .. Unfortunately nitrogen has gotten out dated by all TFP updates and has some real problems .. Like most of us .. We are hoping that TFP do use some of the Features in up coming version of game. My main reason to use nitrogen is the landscaping value .. I don't like Wasteland and Burnt forest Have a good one and Take Care ... the Old Gamer .. 😌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dashbarron Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 So I'm assuming that the world data is saved in the subfolders inside the Roaming profile folder? I'm trying to use Nitrogen to build a custom world, then modify my game settings and point to this world data. But I don't know how to do it? Do you change the folder name to equal the GameWorld property field? I've tried ^ this before, but I've never found the any folder or file matching mjy GameWorld data. I have no idea where the actual game data goes or how to point to a new game data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonestarcanuck Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I have a server owner who does not want to use Nitrogen (V0.501?) because he believes it does not have all the A19.x prefabs. is this true? I generated a map using the A19 Vanilla prefabs and I think I see all or most of them. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is due to the fact that support for Nitrogen dropped well before a19.0 went stable. It shouldn't be too tough to add them in though if any were missing. And to be perfectly honest, if any are missing, it's probably not more than 3-5 total out of 500+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKnight1N Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Since installing the latest version of Java, I have not been able to get NitroGen to function at all. It keeps telling me that it needs a Java environment to work, but Java is installed and fully functional on my system. Im not running microsoft edge which I understand has been having trouble with Java Recently, I use Firefox so I really cant understand what is going on. Have tried removing and reinstalling, repair, rebooting my system, checking my virus protection...nothing has worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elainethepaine Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 someone might have already asked this question, but I cant get WOTW poi's to spawn in on my nitrogen map, could someone plz explain a not to complicated way on how I can get them to spawn in, I would really appreciate it, thanks!

Astralweaver Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 You have to add them to the nitrogen prefab list for them to work. It isn't hard but it is very time consuming. You need the numbers from the editor and the nitrogen zones you want them in. The list of zones is near the top. You entry should look something like this. -A19-dwalls_Farm_Cocoa,Industrial;ResidentialOld,0,-1,11,3,13,farm The numbers will be in the editor and the nitrogen zone would be on the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
