Generating a world gen structure

[M1kep]

Hi, so im trying to generate a world gen structure whenever i use an item. for example, if i right click with my item i want it to generate a mine shaft right there.

Does anybody have any tips for where to start?

[Mew]

Will be fairly easy.

 

In the method, just call something like this

 

@Override
    public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World, EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer)
    {
        WorldGenFileYouWant gen = new WorldGenFileYouWant();
        gen.genereateStructureMethod();
        return par1ItemStack;
    }

 

Are you also trying to make your own structure?

 

If you need help with that i can help

[M1kep]

Thank you do you mind if I pm you when I get to that point?

[Mew]

Sure go ahead.

Ok, so Im attempting to generate a village and im running into some problems, i cant seem to figure out what the Array Of Bytes is for and also i dont really see how to go about generating the village, heres my code:

	@Override
public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World,
		EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer) {
	IChunkProvider chunk = par2World.getChunkProvider();
	MapGenVillage gen = new MapGenVillage();
	byte[] par5ArrayOfByte;
	gen.generate(chunk, par2World, 10, 10, par5ArrayOfByte);
	return par1ItemStack;
}

Any idea??

Make your own generation file for a village? That way you can make it a lot easier...

[M1kep]

uhhhh..... what? Can you please explain?

[Mew]

Make your own village WorldGen file and call that instead.

Ive looked into the classes, I dont understand how to make a class that will generate a village Can you point me in the right direction?

[Mew]

Go on youtube and search how to make structures. Especially the tutorial by theinstitutions. He shows you how to do structure generation and such. Then all you have to do is find the places where specific parts of the village you want and past it into the generate() method in the world gen file you create

[M1kep]

Ok! Thank you so much If i have any more questions ill post here

[Mew]

Your welcome for what help i HAVE given you, thank theinstitutions for the rest

[M1kep]

Is this the video your talking about?

[Mew]

Yeah that one will do. But you only need to worry about the WorldGen file. The rest is not really that relavent to what you are doing. But its good to know anyway

[M1kep]

ok, so villages, they are using "components" and what not, so how do i go about getting those to generate? Because in his tutorial he uses world.setBlockWithNotify

[Mew]

Hmm..

 

While I look at the Vanilla code, I would suggest using world.setBlock() and make your own replica of a village!

 

Im looking through the vanilla code now and it is a little confusing...

[M1kep]

Ok, well, if it starts making any sense to you just let me know, please :DD And thank you for all of your help so far

Or use world edit to make a copy of the village as a schematic and then look at wimpy's 1.4.6 tutitrals for the converter to change that to .set blocks and there you go.

[M1kep]

I can't seem to find the video you are talking about, think you could post a link?

[Mew]

Wuppy29*

 

But yeah, there is that too

[M1kep]

Lol, well that's probably what was giving me trouble

[M1kep]

I still can't seem to find tr converter you talk of....

[Mew]

its in his 1.3.2 tutorials. Try them

[M1kep]

Okie dokie, will do

[Flenix]

Especially the tutorial by theinstitutions.

 

Bit late here, but aren't his tutorials for modloader...?
