WorldGeneration not generating..

[Naddox]

Hey all, I am trying to get some of my blocks to generate in my worlds. I have made a world gen class and registered it within my main class and have no issues at all there or in my world gen class, but nothing new generates in my worlds. Can someone please help me out?

 

I am using this tutorial as a semi-base: http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Adding_World_Generation

and using the generated code from MCreator for the code to generate: http://pastebin.com/aMH988h3

 

Main Class: http://pastebin.com/330u2s3w

World Gen Class: http://pastebin.com/ThDu7qci

In your main class add:

 

public void generateSurface()

{

case 0:

//generation stuff overworld

case -1:

//nether generation

case 1:

//the end generation

}

So I am guessing that should go in the @Init area and does this remove the need of having the generation class?

 

and could you give an example generation using this method please?

One thing:

 

 int randPosX = chunkX + rand.nextInt(16);
                        int randPosY = rand.nextInt(250)+0;
                        int randPosZ = chunkZ + rand.nextInt(16);

 

ChunkX = 5

randPosX = 5 + [0-15]

 

Gee, I wonder where it's going to end up.

(You have to multiply your chunk X/Z by 16).

[Naddox]

dont know where you got that 5 or the 5(0+15) but it is multiplied by 16...

No it's not.

 

chunkX is not premultiplied and it's certainly not being muliplied before it gets passed on WorldGenMinable.

 

Oh, and if it's magically getting multiplied after you add the random value, you're still doing it wrong.

Here is where I got the code, mod generated from MCreator, and this works 100% perfectly fine.

line 142-149

 

public void generateSurface(World world, java.util.Random rand, int chunkX, int chunkZ){
for(int i = 0; i < 40; i++){
int randPosX = chunkX + rand.nextInt(16);
int randPosY = rand.nextInt(256)+0;
int randPosZ = chunkZ + rand.nextInt(16);
(new WorldGenMinable(mod_quartzOverworld.block.blockID, 40)).generate(world, rand, randPosX, randPosY, randPosZ);
}
}

Do this:

 

System.out.println("RandPosX: " + randPosX);

 

(or use whatever printing statement you like) and run it.  Check the outputted values and insure that they're within the expected range.
