[SOLVED] [1.6.4] Spawning mobs in other mods biomes

[saxon564]

now i know the quick fix would be doing BiomeGenBase.* or something like that, but what  wondering is if there is a way to get the temperature for the biome and spawn that way, i seem to recall that this was possible, but im not finding it without calling a specific biome. Could anyone explain how this would work? I am looking at the source for Mo' Creatures, but he adds mobs in a roundabout way.

In post init loop through the list of biomes:

 

public static void generateBiomeData()
{
	for (int i = 0; i < BiomeGenBase.biomeList.length; i++) {
		BiomeGenBase biome = BiomeGenBase.biomeList[i];
		if (biome != null)
			if (biome.biomeName == null) {
				System.out.println("[Wispy] Biome (id " + i + ") has null name, could not build spawn information.");
			}
			else
			{
				String name = biome.biomeName.toLowerCase();
				float E = biome.temperature;
				float F = biome.rainfall;
				float H = biome.minHeight;
				int I = biome.theBiomeDecorator.flowersPerChunk;
				int J = biome.theBiomeDecorator.grassPerChunk;
				int K = biome.theBiomeDecorator.treesPerChunk;
			}
		}
	}
}

 

There are other factors too, those just happened to be ones I was using for a mod (my variable names ended up coming from an excel spreadsheet.  F was column F, etc).

Changing a mod's biome is impossible otherwise you have the mod sources and the ability to change the source !

 

If you only want to create a new Biome, no problem it's simple (very, i think a big noob or troll can do it) !

 

My Biome code :

package fr.stoneline.biome;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

public class Biomes {
        // The stoneline biome is not generated by Minecraft World Generator (it's the StoneLine Dimension Biome Template)
public static BiomeGenStoneLine stoneLineBiome;

        // The automn biome is a normal biome auto generated by Minecraft World Generator
public static BiomeGenAutomn automnBiome;

public void registerBiomes(){
	GameRegistry.addBiome(automnBiome); // Registering biome to authorize Minecraft to generate it
}

static {
	stoneLineBiome = new BiomeGenStoneLine();
	automnBiome = new BiomeGenAutomn();
}
}

The automn biome :

package fr.stoneline.biome;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.entity.passive.*;
import net.minecraft.world.biome.BiomeGenBase;
import net.minecraft.world.biome.SpawnListEntry;

public class BiomeGenAutomn extends BiomeGenBase {
public BiomeGenAutomn() {
	super(24);
	setBiomeName("autumn");
	topBlock = (byte) Block.grass.blockID;
	fillerBlock = (byte) Block.dirt.blockID;
	theBiomeDecorator.generateLakes = true;
	theBiomeDecorator.treesPerChunk = 10;
	theBiomeDecorator.flowersPerChunk = 10;
	theBiomeDecorator.grassPerChunk = 10;
	theBiomeDecorator.deadBushPerChunk = 10;
	theBiomeDecorator.mushroomsPerChunk = 10;
	theBiomeDecorator.reedsPerChunk = 10;
	theBiomeDecorator.cactiPerChunk = 10;
	theBiomeDecorator.sandPerChunk = 10;
	rainfall = 0.7F;
	minHeight = 0.1F;
	maxHeight = 0.3F;
	waterColorMultiplier = 0xd9aa0d;

	this.spawnableMonsterList.clear();
	this.spawnableCreatureList.clear();
	this.spawnableWaterCreatureList.clear();
	this.spawnableCaveCreatureList.clear();
	this.spawnableCreatureList.add(new SpawnListEntry(EntityHorse.class, 5,
			1, 5));
	this.spawnableCreatureList.add(new SpawnListEntry(EntityCow.class, 5,
			1, 5));
	this.spawnableCreatureList.add(new SpawnListEntry(EntityChicken.class,
			5, 1, 5));
	this.spawnableCreatureList.add(new SpawnListEntry(EntityPig.class, 5,
			1, 5));
	this.spawnableCreatureList.add(new SpawnListEntry(EntitySheep.class, 5,
			1, 5));
	this.spawnableWaterCreatureList.add(new SpawnListEntry(
			EntitySquid.class, 5, 1, 5));
	this.spawnableCreatureList.add(new SpawnListEntry(EntityWolf.class, 5,
			1, 5));
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public int getBiomeGrassColor() {
	return 0xd4c941;
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public int getBiomeFoliageColor() {
	return 0xd4c941;
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public int getSkyColorByTemp(float par1) {
	return 0xffffff;
}
}

This code is completely working.

I have this feeling you didn't read what they're trying to do.

Thanks, and from this i can set up some arrays for temperature ranges then spawn my mobs off of that

[Draco18s]

Yup!

[saxon564]

ok, so after a bit of fooling around to get the filtered biomes sent back as BiomeGenBase i finally got it working as intnded, thanks for the help once again Draco
