Dimension Generation Questions

[Flenix]

Such a simple fix, that fixed it!

 

Now, all I need to do is disallow the standard biomes from spawning in my dimension and it'll be DONE.

 

I tried using this:

 

    public static ArrayList<BiomeGenBase> disallowedBiomes = new ArrayList<BiomeGenBase>(Arrays.asList(BiomeGenBase.ocean, BiomeGenBase.plains, BiomeGenBase.desert, BiomeGenBase.extremeHills, BiomeGenBase.forest, BiomeGenBase.taiga, BiomeGenBase.swampland, BiomeGenBase.river));

 

 

But on a new world, I landed in plains after going through the portal. Is there something else I need?

But on a new world, I landed in plains after going through the portal. Is there something else I need?

 

I realized it was set as Plains as the default biome. Changed that to my custom one, and everything is peachy now. I don't know if multiple biomes work, as I don't have other biomes yet. I'll make one shortly and try it out...

For now though, I have one last question. How do I assign a biome decorator? I've made my own one, and I want it to add all the ores etc, I can't figure out where I should reference it and how though. I'd assume somewhere in my biome class? In vanilla biomes, it has "theBiomeDecorator" which is from BiomeGenBase - How would I do that?

This is the code that you need to add in your biome.  the decorate function is this.decorate.  you need to call your custom decorator instead

Adding custom blocks to biomes is a sinch!

 

What you need is a config file. Then using configVariableName.getTerrainBlock(Paramaters...).getInt();

 

that will make sure that the block ID is UNDER 255, because what you set the ID to is not the actual ID when it comes to loading...

 

And also, inside the chunk manager you can set the top/filler block without needing a biome.

 

see here:

https://github.com/haydenf96/Spazzysmod/blob/master/Spazzysmod/spazzysmod_common/Spazzysmod/world/chunk/ChunkManagerMoon.java

 

Thats some chunk manager code for a mod I help make.

 

 

[EDIT]

Also, feel free to look at the code for the dimensions. It is found in the world package which is here:

https://github.com/haydenf96/Spazzysmod/tree/master/Spazzysmod/spazzysmod_common/Spazzysmod/world

 

Look through that and you will find everything you need for a dimension.

Thanks but I've already got all that I mastered Dimensions about a week ago, just got my biome working nicely in it and all I needed was the decorator. Thanks though

How exactly do I call my custom decorator though? I don't see anywhere that... "asks" for it?

[OwnAgePau]

I still have this not working properly as my biomes spawn in the overworld and my dimension is still covered with all the possible biomes... And i think thats because of the fact that i use WorldChunkManager(), as it goes in there it has the list of all the biomes in there. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. I do have a biomeDecorator but i'm not sure wether it is working properly as i first wanted to try fix this. Although i think it works.

[Flenix]

Sorry, I still don't quite follow. Which lines am I putting in which classes? Any chance you can show me an example? (psuedocode is fine)

[OwnAgePau]

Custom biomedecorator is being called in the custom BiomeGenBase class and in all the biomes. Now i would really like to know how you guys did what i asked above. Because i almost got this to work i just need to find a way how to make it so that my custom biomes ONLY spawn in my dimension + that i don't get any overworld biomes to spawn there.

I don't even have a custom BiomeGenBase- I didn't know we needed one?

 

Anyway, to remove your custom biome from overworld, add to your @Init:

            GameRegistry.removeBiome(yourBiomeName);

 

And to remove all vanilla biomes from your dimension:

 

    public static ArrayList<BiomeGenBase> disallowedBiomes = new ArrayList<BiomeGenBase>(Arrays.asList(BiomeGenBase.ocean, BiomeGenBase.plains, BiomeGenBase.desert, BiomeGenBase.extremeHills, BiomeGenBase.forest, BiomeGenBase.taiga, BiomeGenBase.swampland, BiomeGenBase.river));

 

 

Did you manage to get multiple custom biomes in your dimension? If so, can I see your code, I haven't managed to get that yet either, but I put it on hold as the biome decorator is more important to me (I want ores, flowers, long grass etc)

[OwnAgePau]

Well i am pretty sure that in my case the lists that are defined in my ChunkProvider are read but not used in the generation. Also i somehow do not get a message when entering the world and such while its perfectly the same as in the overworld and such. So uhm jeah here are my classes:

BiomeGenBaseMarona // i am not sure what and how to use it yet because if i start changing everything to BiomeGenBaseMarona it makes me have to change a hell lot more... i haven't figured out how to do anything that way, like you end up making a custom WorldChunkManager, BiomeCacheBlock, GenLayer etc etc.  Thats also why i have everything outcomented in my editor.

Sorry, I still don't quite follow. Which lines am I putting in which classes? Any chance you can show me an example? (psuedocode is fine)

 

Im not home at the moment to go into more detail, but you can look at BiomeGenBase at all the code related to the biome decorator, copy it into your biome and change it to your biome decorator.  I personally dont use a biome decorator, I put all the decorating in the biome file itself.  Ill post some code later when I get time if you havent figured it out by then.

Anyone gotten any further on solving the problem around multiple biomes in your custom dimension???
