Father Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 community maps sorry but i think i figured out what was wrong , it seems snow level went from 0 to 1 just reset settings hopefully it will come out right just hope this generator don't leave mosses parting the red sea areas in the water like nitrogen does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) i really like this map but wow takes 6 minutes download from server to client and you get network time out before it's fully downloaded... further note from inspecting the map in game it needs alot of smoothing done mountains look like they was generated for a minecraft map...

Gilthanaz Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Mhhhh came back after a long break, found out Nitrogen is dead and the link goes here. Well, looks promising, but I had to disable all antivirus software to even get it started. And once I click "Generate Map", I get a black screen of death and have to hard reset. Pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to be. OS Windows 10 latest updates. Anyone experienced anything like that and has a workaround? Edit: Running as admin doesn't help, getting all kinds of errors and weird user rights issues (haven't ever seen those before with anything else). Sure the binary from the download link is ok... ?

Imagine someone using a medieval mod, they wouldn't want vanilla pois. If you generate the poi list correctly it will not be empty. to generate a poilist, you just have to supply KG with a prefabs folder. Want a vanilla poilist? Give KG the vanilla prefabs folder. Want vanilla+custom pois list? Give KG a folder containing both. (alternatively you can generate 2 separate lists and join them together) I have created a custom Prefabs folder and point Kinggen to it. It opens the folder up, then asks me to give it a name and save it.... within this folder it creates a completely empty .txt. file within the list of the POIs, named with what I just named it. When I try to generate a map in Kinggen using this custom POI list, it wants me to select this .txt. file and I do but then I STILL only get the vanilla POIs. I have been trying this awhile now. I try it once, give up. Two weeks later I try it again and give up. I must not be generating the POI list correctly for Kinggen. Could the kind fellow who created the YT tutorial videos please include this setting up the custom list as well? In his tutorial he just mentions that he doesn't have one and leaves it at that. Otherwise, can someone please show it using screenshots or something? I've had no issues getting CP 47 POIs to generate within my Nitrogen maps; I prefer Kinggen's speed and superior map generation but just cannot figure this one out. I'm sick of just having vanilla POIs in my maps Edited July 4, 2021 by quietone748 misspelling (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to create a custom poi list: copy all the pois you want to use in a folder run KG click on generate poi list selecte the folder containing all your pois select a save location done. When you generate a world, give it the list just created. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntentionUnclear Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 A couple of friends of mine decided to get back to 7 days to die again and found out that nitrogen is dead, and was directed here. We're getting a dedicated hosted server and would like to know if this is something that we can use to generate our world? We don't do custom POIs and stuff.

Gilthanaz Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Yeah... not touching this outside a VM anymore... maybe I can reproduce the error in the VM to get you more info on why its hard-reseting my gaming rig. Edit: That might come off a bit wrong. Thanks for all your effort Edit2: Appears to work fine in a Windows7 VM I can work with that.

GlassDeviant Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 A couple of minor points from a first time user: 1) KingGen always opens maximized, at least for me. Not a big deal, but a minor annoyance especially for large screen users. 2) KingGen does not observe "dark mode" settings. For a user who is using dark mode, a brilliant, white window suddenly filling the entire screen is bordering on painful to sensitive, old eyes. That's all for now, besides thanks for picking up the ball that was dropped with NitroGen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlassDeviant Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hey I have a question that is probably more regarding 7dtd itself than the map generator, but does it always have to be a square map? Like, say I wanted to make a map that was 12k wide but only 6k high, is the game just not able to handle that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlassDeviant Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Found another little issue: First I made a 6k map, named it Jennytania (because the seed is 8675309). KingGen put a folder in its own folder, named Jennytania. WAE (working as expected). Next I made two 6k maps, using the same name. KG made Jennytania1 and Jennytania2. More or less WAE. Then I made two 12k maps, using the same name. KG replaced Jennytania1 and Jennytania2. Unexpected. I had thought that KG was checking, finding the original Jennytania, and because of that making 1 and 2, but now I am thinking it's just seeing the multiple map setting and appending the numbers to keep the new maps separate as it is making them, but not even realizing that it's overwriting existing files. Would be nice for it to see those previous maps and continue the sequence, so that in the third case it would have made Jennytania3 and Jennytania4. Just a thought for consideration.
