Posted March 29, 201312 yr I was looking into creating a new dimension and found the DimensionManager class. Seeing the registerDimension method, I understood that was what I needed to get started. Looking at the incoming parameters I saw registerDimension(int id, int providerType), the first parameter I Understand, it's used by my generation class in the switch/case to call the method the defines how the world should generate. However the second parameter threw me for a bit of a loop. What is a provider type and is there a list of providerTypes somewhere I can look at?
March 29, 201312 yr It's just an integer, but it's one of those "conflicts with other dimension mods" if you try to use the same ID. Use a config value for it and pick a random 3-digit number* as your default (odds are you won't conflict, I think Mystcraft uses...12 and DivineRPG uses 7**). *I don't know what the maximum acceptable value is, fyi. But I'd be willing to bet that it's greater than 16. **For a while they were both on 7. Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice. Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked. DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
