[high pewter]

Damn, I feel like making maps again even though I'm waiting for that update

[bright fern]

central african republic more like sleep deprivation republic

thoughts?

damnit i forgot one thing

[arctic hamlet]

i don't like micro tiles kingdoms

[bright fern]

these are not permanent

merely partisan and rebel groups

[celest wigeon]

Early Rp most of them usually disappear

[bright fern]

i went for accuracy

[celest wigeon]

If one remains some player is messing about

[arctic hamlet]

i was about to compliment you for that

[celest wigeon]

Oh this is the world box server

[bright fern]

so uh

[celest wigeon]

I almost said something heinous

[arctic hamlet]

bruh

[bright fern]

cabinda is split like this

between government and separatists

now riddle me this

how do i give them half a tile

[celest wigeon]

Ok ok here's how u do that one

Nobody cares about them

[arctic hamlet]

imagine a mod that makes the borders as pixels

[bright fern]

cant really stretch it up north

yeah ill just

skip em i suppose

[woeful moss]

Is this supposed to be one of those “If all independence movements succeeded” maps

[celest wigeon]

Dawg it's a de facto map

[bright fern]

no

[woeful moss]

idk I barely pay attention to map discussion

[bright fern]

it's a de facto map

[celest wigeon]

De jure is the map u see on Google

De facto is who actually controls what

[bright fern]

showing as many rebels and partisans and tribes as i can fit into a wbox map and still have it be playable

[celest wigeon]

Also Maklo u can't show terror groups on here so be quick, some of these mods be butt hurt over ntn

[arctic hamlet]

wow man didn't know africa has so many rebels

[bright fern]

ok so according to wikipedia this has been ongoing for five decades

[celest wigeon]

Dawg 💀

[bright fern]

30,000 killed

[woeful moss]

Looks cool I’ll prolly use it when it’s uploaded

[celest wigeon]

[bright fern]

and the last decade is just occassional clashes

technically a ceasefire

ill just omit them

now this

i forgot about this and i cant omit it

i didnt actually forget about it on the blueprint

[idle totem]

terror groups are fine as long as they arent glorified

[bright fern]

there we go

i sure hope they havent committed any warcrimes

[idle totem]

i made a map with isis in it and nobody cared

yeah this one

[cyan dagger]

why do so many people hate space maps? even those decent posted in #🌐map-downloads

[idle totem]

some of them are mid

habitable space reference

[woeful moss]

I like that

[idle totem]

thx, its my de facto middle east map

[woeful moss]

I love maps like that

[idle totem]

#🌐✔cool-maps message heres the full map and download

[bright fern]

there were some guerillas south of PUK but i know exactly 0 things about them

so i didnt put them on the map

[celest wigeon]

I say some mod say you can't name drop them 😭 and I was like "literally 1984"

[woeful moss]

I wish more maps included like island territories of the US. Like instead of an independent Palau. I know it’s hard to with such a small island but still

[idle totem]

some mods are 1984 lmao

[bright fern]

also yeah there are 3 rojavas

[idle totem]

idc if yall mention terrorist groups just dont support their actions or mention their leaders

[idle totem]

this was lowkey one of my best border maps

[bright fern]

was about to rate this 10/10 but you must answer for this first

[celest wigeon]

💀

[idle totem]

?

[celest wigeon]

Does he know

[bright fern]

first of all uae doesnt even border qatar

[idle totem]

oh that might be an old pic

lemme check rq

[bright fern]

and the southern border looks wrong

[idle totem]

lemme check

[bright fern]

so uh

this is a mod i created for myself with mostly "borrowed" code (i cant code)

that adds these small ass houses

[idle totem]

this might be my best border map

its europe with the villages aligned in a way that you can represent all border changes from 1900-2023

barring a few that i'm still working on

[bright fern]

im thinking of uploading it along with the map and crediting the modder i "borrowed" the code from

[bright fern]

i also used to go for that on my maps

but i had some policy changes

[woeful moss]

I’ve been looking for a map like that

[bright fern]

regarding that

now im mostly designing villages with armies in mind

[woeful moss]

The pope just creating the perfect maps for me😍

[bright fern]

which is why i sometimes went with borders like these

oh and heres america

oh and one last thing

if you didnt notice yet

[idle totem]

why does the rio grande randomly end

[bright fern]

hoi4 river map

[woeful moss]

I’ve never seen so many houses😭

[idle totem]

the hoi4 river continues into new mexico

[bright fern]

the base map is sponsored by @celest wigeon

[woeful moss]

Pretty accurate tho

[idle totem]

i just played it yesterday

[bright fern]

i placed this shit manually

in fact every single building on here is placed manually💀

[woeful moss]

For a min I thought u could place then wish a brush tool then I remember you can’t

[idle totem]

alr i fixed uae

[bright fern]

i'll finish my map tomorrow

also i have a de jure version

without all the annoying 1 tile rebellions

will drop that too

[bright fern]

@idle totem would that be an okay thing to do

[idle totem]

yeah

[woeful moss]

I’m excited😍😍😍

I’m in love with that map

[bright fern]

the small houses arent really functional because i cant code, but theyre here, they make the small island villages possible

[woeful moss]

I need to check map discussion more often. Yall working on fire maps and I don’t even notice

[bright fern]

funny thing is

this took me like

almost 3 months to make

and 90% of that time

was spent on placing down buildings

because i decided to represent every city over 100,000 people with a tier 2 house or above

[idle totem]

just finished the ottoman borders in 1910

[bright fern]

this is probably the first and last world map project where i do this

[woeful moss]

I would NOT have the patience for that

Still a neat feature tho

[bright fern]

if i don't do that and just manually place buildings without paying attention to exact city locations

i can just storm these maps

i got a working blueprint

[brisk oxide]

Isn't it had Greece too?

[idle totem]

no

[brisk oxide]

Wait nvm

[bright fern]

no

[brisk oxide]

1st Balkan war

Forgot it

[bright fern]

goofy ahh bulgaria

[brisk oxide]

Real

[idle totem]

theyre boutta get a lot more goofy when they lost the second balkan war

[bright fern]

shouldnt they have those 2 tiles

[idle totem]

no

[bright fern]

looks off

[eager coral]

🔨 Banned maxliont#9684 for 1 day

[arctic hamlet]

cooll! looks like the one i posted many months ago (and i'm going to update it)

u got better cultures border tho

and i bet, less population and lag

[idle totem]

@bright fern this look better in your opinion?

personally i like the first one better

[bright fern]

well of course id still say my suggestion looks better but yeah i think it is

oh yeah

thats a flaw of my map

for utility reasons i did 1 world culture

[idle totem]

your suggestion doesnt account for this

[bright fern]

because i want the world to have all techs BESIDES the housing ones

and i cant be asked to set that up for every individual culture

[idle totem]

this looks too smooth

imo

[arctic hamlet]

agree

[bright fern]

how about you account for deez fat nuts

[idle totem]

i would but you have none 😂

[bright fern]

will be getting new ones soon

[idle totem]

ok dont make nsfw jokes

[bright fern]

uhm sir i was talking about peanuts all along😇

anyways as i said my world has 1 culture

Wait

2 actually

Worldian and bangladeshi

(their population density is so insane i gave them the housing techs)

[brisk oxide]

I think gotta return to map making (or at least try lol)

Have like 1 map in process

[idle totem]

this was the culture map on my ww1 map

truly a culture map of all time

[brisk oxide]

Agreed

[haughty wind]

why not make a newly drawn/converted map?

[dry mulch]

Brother what the hell is happening in the Maghreb 😭😭

[idle totem]

french

mixing with arabic

[dry mulch]

Ive never seen such a non-uniform mix like that

[idle totem]

lemme see if i can find the map i used

i cant find the map

rip

it was really intricate and crazy though

so its pretty off

[haughty wind]

Welsh being the only independent culture in the British isles

[idle totem]

its the last remnants of gaelic

wales is one of the few places where gaelic is still common

[haughty wind]

😵‍💫

[idle totem]

by 1914 ireland had like one or two port cities where gaelic was spoken but it wasnt worth mapping

[bright fern]

Who can help me make allince

For my cold war map

[haughty wind]

me when I don’t know 🗿

[idle totem]

what year

[daring dew]

watch it turn into one culture in a few hundred years

i wish we can disable culture spread

[idle totem]

true lmao

[agile ridge]

Anyone have map advice?

[arctic hamlet]

Show your maps

[slender sparrow]

Lol I got a bit lazy with mine now but I'm pretty sure the Novari map had that distinction. Might do the same to mine as well later!

[dry mulch]

I suppose Kinshasa and Moanda(and other DRC ports) are down south because of the river. So it makes sense for you to give Cabinda the western port right there, it might look a bit weird as an horizontal province but is better than a landlocked patch of land. Plus Ponta-Noireis more to the west than south as it sits in a sharp peninsula. I think its possible to build a port in the other tile. So give this port to cabinda anyways.

Wait this thing is a day old, why did discord open this channel at it

[bright fern]

hm

perhaps

will look into that later

[wary garden]

I just can’t understand why people are making more and more maps of Europe and the continents closest to it?! Europe has already been converted so many times, in good and not so good quality. There is already a super detailed Europe with mountains and rivers, a political map and so on. Why rivet the same thing over and over again, which is also inferior in quality?! Why do so many map creators stumble on this so often?

Yes, there is a problem with discord, because the best of the best works simply fly up and are forgotten, but still...

[tepid sparrow]

honestly, it's all about the one that downloaded the map itself. it just that the majority of user trying to recreate the world war with those map

[wary garden]

I understand that people want to recreate a historical event, but why not just put it in the search...

[tepid sparrow]

you see, these user were mostly a person who didn't know discord pretty much and then just joined after 1-7 days. so it's more like understanding the application features itself also, some of them can't even speak English (only native).

therefore, old map thay you find in the search can be problematic and buggies

[winter remnant]

How do I access the android/data folder on android 13+ when it's not accessible without root access? I've used both MiXplorer and ZArchiver to no avail.

[wary garden]

Well, I guess I agree with you partly. We'll just have to continue to ignore it

[tepid sparrow]

try going into this forum post
https://discord.com/channels/522561390330904585/1150826964937084969

[high pewter]

I kinda like the thick hills, but myself I'd add more mountains in the mix so it's not just the same terrain that far

The biome placement and coastlines look great

[agile ridge]

Ok

[arctic hamlet]

It looks like scaled for a city, or just a little region, i don't have any particular feedback, just maybe detail it more

[bright fern]

In the new update this will more natural

[dry mulch]

Dude, i've been away from this server for way more than a year and even with such a gap of participation i can still relate to your point lmao. It never changes.

[high pewter]

At least we don't have people begging for 7 likes on their map here

[wary garden]

hehe, imagine if every member of the server who wanted to become a map creator had to pass an exam in which the task was to draw or convert Europe xD

[dry mulch]

Fr lol

[steady tulip]

It's all about the iOS security system, damn it

it is almost impossible to download a map on an ios device, only if with third party applications and system interference

[sullen reef]

anybody got a very huge map of the modern world with countries

[steady tulip]

I agree, IMHO there are too many restrictions in the free version of the game and it’s sad

[tribal pier]

How

You can do basic stuff for civilization

Humabd

Humand

Humans

Change name

It's supposed to be a paid game

Most games are paid

You're lucky it's even on phonr

And that you can watch videos for certain lockrd stuff

Which are

Shit

[tribal pier]

Not even proper games

Just fidgets

Yeah but riddled with ads

Worse than pay to play

Pay to play is just any normal PC game

And worldbox is really good quality

Example?

Minecraft

Yep

Terraria

[tribal pier]

(haven't played it so I'd not actually know)

Basically every roguelike and every old game

Every game before the 2000s costs money

Because it's a fidget

Thats fair

There are ofc good free games

I love free games too

But I'm saying

Paid games aren't bad

They're paid games

Because people worked on it rlly hard, and don’t want micro transactions

Or ads

I'm saying worldbox

Should be payed

It's really good, lots of effort, and devs shouldn't just give it for free

And roblox has microtransactions

Worldbox isn't a game that you can get micro transactions with

Unless you want map makers to pay for the membership for making maps

That's a one time purchase

Still, I'm saying every game needs a way to make money

So you have 3 options

Ads

Yeah not every game

Games that want to make money

Have 3 options

Ads

Microtransactions

Or one time purchase to get the whole game

Ofc there are other rarer options

Maybe have a billionaire dad or something, sponsors, i donno

But

Those are the main 3

And worldbox is a good enough game to be good to make money from

[tepid sparrow]

blud think maxim should starve without money 😭

they're not robots, of course they need money

[bright fern]

Wait can you download maps on mobile?

[tepid sparrow]

Yes but only android, if you're on iOS then no

[true pelican]

It's impossible to install maps on iOS because the operating system refuses to give you access to the game files that you'd need to insert the map into.
@bright fern

[bright fern]

w-w-wait

They're not robots???

I've been deceived

[tepid sparrow]

[bright fern]

how do i import map conversion map in to game on pc

[round radish]

Does anyone have an achievement world

[tulip tulip]

What are the new requirements for map maker role?

[celest wigeon]

The council must vote u in

[tulip tulip]

Perhaps the council will notice me when I finish my next map

[desert carbon]

I'd rather suggest that you contact the map managers (pope and Instructed), as they're not even allowed to just give you the role, unless you ask for it.

[tulip tulip]

Thanks

[desert carbon]

You're welcome!

[idle totem]

@hoary timber can you repost the map but this time make sure the map.wbox file is in the same message as the picture/description of the map?

[hoary timber]

ok

[static spoke]

The wiki says "Generally, 30x30 is the maximum size of a playable map for most advanced computers, requiring a computer with at least 16 GB of RAM to run."

is this still true?

Thinking about making a 30x30 made up of multiple large islands. I just don't want to make it and then the game crashes when I attempt to load it.

[steady tulip]

well that's a good question...

[terse hedge]

what is the biggest custom map ever made?

[static spoke]

oh my god okay then got it

[steady tulip]

but again, such a scale is already too much, even on powerful computers it is impossible to settle a civilization here normally.

the only thing is that in order to make a very large map at least more or less playable, you need to use as few mountains as possible in it

[static spoke]

Wait, as few or as many?

Wouldnt more mountains reduce the amount of habitable land and therefore reduce the amount of people?

I can’t send an image here, but I’m planning on making a solar system map like some of the others posted, so a majority of the map volume will actually be mountains

[steady tulip]

that's not the point, the game starts to lag a lot due to the additional layers of land at such a scale

[eager phoenix]

anyone know a giant earth map I could use?

[static spoke]

Oh really?

I had no idea mountains lagged the game

[steady tulip]

oh btw, if you want to post a picture of the map while you don't have access, just use the screenshots room

[static spoke]

Got it

[static spoke]

Wait one more question, does this lag just happen when loading the world for the first time or does it persist?

[steady tulip]

When you start the map, it can take quite a long time and will slow down in the future as you populate the world. In short, mountains can play the role of noise that loads the PC, for example after conversion, if the map is very large or, for example, there are just a lot of mountains. If you compare a flatter map to a mountainous map, the flat map will perform better on average.

I don’t know if this will continue, but every time you start a blank map with mountains it will always slow down a little

[static spoke]

So mountains cause constant performance strain? Even after they’re loaded?

That just makes no sense to me lmao how can static objects be taxing after they’ve been loaded in

I know you’re not a developer but that just baffles me

Or maybe I just misread what you said and mountains only cause strain when the world is loaded for the first time lol

[steady tulip]

I assume since mountains are an impassable object for moving objects, then a large number of it as noise, for example, and on a very huge map not originally intended for the game, adds additional load. But again, God knows how it works xD

[static spoke]

I’ll prolly just test it with a world full of ocean and a world full of mountains and see if either of them cause more strain :P

[static spoke]

ok so just to update for anyone backreading, mountains do not cause performance issues that last throughout the game. they only seem to make the game store a very minimal amount of more ram

[steady tulip]

What PC configurations do you play on? Because I have a relatively weak computer, which starts to slow down more if a really huge map (30x30/40x40 and so on) is overloaded with mountains rather than plains. This does not apply to the average maps provided by the game or a little more. I speak now personally from my gaming experience

[sweet siren]

Personally a huge map that’s all forest lags more than one that’s almost all mountains

[steady tulip]

ok, maybe I’m really wrong, lately I rarely deal with really large maps

I was wrong, although I was sure I was right. My bad

[static spoke]

My computer has a ryzen 5600x cpu, 32gb of ram and a 1TB SSD

I tested it on an iceberg size world just to see if there would be any difference

[steady tulip]

iceberg is just 9x9, In general, your PC is of course much more powerful than my calculator lol, But that’s not even the point. The guy above said it correctly, probably huge maps like 30x30 or 40x40 basically slow down, because it’s too much. My conclusion about the mountains was purely intuitive, as it turned out. A couple of times it seemed to me that the noise after the conversion slowed down my computer more than on the plains

[static spoke]

By the way, how do you even make maps that are that large?

ImageToMap only goes up to 25x25.

[arctic hamlet]

Mapsizes mod

[static spoke]

Oh I see, so mappers make their stuff ingame then

[keen hawk]

Not necessarily

It's actually better to do it using an art program then convert it into a worldbox map

[static spoke]

Yeah but how do you do it for larger world sizes past 25x25?

[keen hawk]

What I just said

[static spoke]

“Convert it into a worldbox map”

Yes. How?

[keen hawk]

By using the image to map converter

[static spoke]

But it only goes up to 25x25

If you try to tell it to make things any larger, it just says the world size is too big

[keen hawk]

The program does not have a size limit

You're talking about the bot

[static spoke]

Oh, the program

Why did it delete the link??

[keen hawk]

Something appeared then disappeared

[static spoke]

Uh.. hold on

(This is why I never speak on mega servers)

[keen hawk]

It's because your role is not high enough

You don't have link permission

Yep

[static spoke]

wow not even in-server

That’s borked

Hold on

[keen hawk]

It's to prevent spammers

[static spoke]

This one?

[keen hawk]

Yes

[static spoke]

Ok got it, thank you!

[midnight kite]

premium isnt micro transactions
worldbox without premium is basically just the test version

also saying free games are most of the time better than paid games is bullshit

[bright fern]

my map is done!!!!

i intend to release this along with the map (pope said its fine please dont strangle me i credited the people who actually did the work)

its kinda... necessary for these villages to function

[celest wigeon]

Betts credit me for the base too 🤬

[bright fern]

i will

[celest wigeon]

If that don't give u mapmaker idk what will

Edited the base map corecting mistakes
Accurate town/building and border placement
A mod that comes with it

addon would be a better word

[woeful moss]

I need that mod

[sturdy latch]

@bright fern what's the difference between the jure and the de facto? also congrats on finally releasing!

[bright fern]

de jure is pretty much the internationally recognised map (with some arbitrary expections like transnistria)

de facto is the version where i included rebellions, civil wars, actual territorial control as best as i could

[glossy goblet]

Is there any larger than average balkans, but not too large, like the one in #🌐✔cool-maps

[tribal spear]

Chad

[bright fern]

thank you dear sir ||for the code ||

[idle totem]

@bright fern how many maps have you posted

[bright fern]

like

i dunno

4 or 5

[idle totem]

mk

[bright fern]

i intend to release another one on the weekend because i just remembered i never released it

[idle totem]

my map will be coming out soon

I just gotta do a few things

[bright fern]

i specialise in historical maps

[bright fern]

https://tenor.com/view/tbh-creature-autism-creature-yipee-yippee-confetti-gif-26570203

what is it

[idle totem]

my europe map

with the configs

I’m gonna post all the configurations in the thread and pin them

[bright fern]

ah

[idle totem]

and I’ll take suggestions and frequently update the map

[bright fern]

i feared posting this map

because ive made some balancing changes in my assembly file

tweaked some numbers

and i havent actually tested the maps without that

but it should be fine

just slightly less balanced

[idle totem]

the scariest map I ever made was my Middle East map. the amount of Palestinian and Israeli nationalists that DMed me about how I incorrectly represented the Israel-palestine conflict or how I’m a racist pig is crazy

[bright fern]

wonder if im gonna get any shit for my portrayal of it

palestinian authority marked with the same color as israel since its very dependent on it

and hamas as a separate thing

and only present in the de facto version

in de jure i made palestine independent since its recognised by quite a few countries

[bright fern]

[sweet siren]

@slender sparrow what age do you play on for your space maps?

[brisk oxide]

@bright fern Nice map, would be played it but afraid that my potato gotta do kaboom

[bright fern]

it only has about 30k population

it is huge though in terms of size

[hoary stratus]

any tips on getting levels so i can post maps w/ previews? im working on a few and just got referred to the discord by a friend

[sweet siren]

talk

a lot

It's doable in under a week if you talk a lot

[slender sparrow]

Just dark and hope but you can go whatever. If you plan to have a lava star turn off Moon and Tears cause the rainclouds will mess it up

Age if Ice and deapair take too long to melt rhe ice off the mountain-void so I don't use it anymore as well

[bright fern]

@bright fern bro u gotta tell me the difference of de jure and de facto 🙏

[sweet siren]

Yeah

[sweet siren]

Alright thanks I’m going to use dark to make space look… darker

[hoary stratus]

im not tryna bug people w noties tho cant i get banned for spamming?

[nimble panther]

Then don't spam

[hoary stratus]

ig im just worried abt the fine line between textmaxxing for levels and spamming

ion wanna be annoying

[nimble panther]

Don't textmax for levels, that's mostly what I'm saying

If you just go into #🌎general and have a few conversations with people over a week or so, you'll get the role. And a week is probably the longest it'll take, if you are active it might only take a day

[hoary stratus]

ok cool i didnt know how long itd take realistically thanks

[robust spoke]

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

[sturdy latch]

the map discussion of all time

[wispy prism]

It is a map discussion, just not a WorldBox related one

[bright fern]

Clarified what de jure and de facto are

[olive scroll]

making detailed kingdoms with customize cities

[dawn scaffold]

I am trying to copy a worldbox file to my worldbox save folder, but i am unable to go into the data folder as access is denied

please could someone help

[arctic hamlet]

fricking cool

[lusty basin]

You map is amezing ❤️

[olive scroll]

Thank you!

Update. 3 Kingdoms done

[high pewter]

I love those mountains. And damn, you're making me want to make maps again even though I'm waiting for new biomes

[sweet siren]

Are those caves in the middle of the mountains?

[olive scroll]

hmm valleys or cave yeh mahbe

Update: 4 Elf Kingdoms finished. next is Humans

[sweet siren]

I'd imagine the frozen part is a valley, while the mushrooms are caves

[olive scroll]

i can see that

[sweet siren]

Also, those city designs are sweet

[olive scroll]

thank u

[sweet siren]

Where are humans gonna be? grassland?

[olive scroll]

yah

Elf Kingdoms

love the capital of florenica, boats go through the city haha

[sweet siren]

10/10 name

wait no florence isnt the one with the canal streets

But still it fits with the flower city

[idle totem]

that’s Venice

[sweet siren]

yep

[idle totem]

speaking of which, making a Venice map could be cool

[sweet siren]

do it

[olive scroll]

yahh

I might

[olive scroll]

make sure the bridges are not straight

Here's the whole map so far

[olive scroll]

ooooh

multiverse/dif planets theme?

[sweet siren]

Planets yeah

[olive scroll]

its like im looking at a screen of a multiverse traveller, choosing which world to enter

[sweet siren]

It's divided up into different sectors, where to get from sector to sector it takes a while but its easy to hop planet to planet in your local area

[olive scroll]

i see

niceee

[sweet siren]

Abyssus, the hell one, is at the bottom with a plague planet and a demon planet

[olive scroll]

what the moon for

[sweet siren]

by the pink circle

[olive scroll]

make underwater world ahha

[sweet siren]

Novus is above abyssus with 4 or 5 worlds, Betus is above that, and Frontier Space is where I just made the moon for

[sweet siren]

bet

[hardy monolith]

When the world box is updated, is the update also applied to the map?

[sweet siren]

I think so yeah

[hardy monolith]

[sweet siren]

Big worlds can be laggy

[hardy monolith]

Are you satisfied with large maps?

[sweet siren]

[sweet siren]

nope dont have one

[hardy monolith]

Where do I get the photos?

[olive scroll]

Hmmm...all biomes in a single planet. But made it like splotches of them and doesn't blend well. So we can have different flora and fauna

[sweet siren]

Progress so far-I think I can fit in 1 or 2 more sectors

[shell lagoon]

boys what do we think about this map so far

its not the full map but its a part of it btw

[lyric ermine]

gppd

gppd

good

sorry new keyboard

[sleek wadi]

@lyric ermine you're missing biomes

[lyric ermine]

oh

ok

[sleek wadi]

Where's the normal sand biome and the wasteland biome?

[lyric ermine]

bruh

[sleek wadi]

And depending on who you ask plain dirt is also a biome because civs can survive there

Your sand is the beach biome. It changes into desert once it gets far enough away from water

[lyric ermine]

im sorry bt i dont care

[sleek wadi]

Ok?

[lyric ermine]

i removed the all biomes thing ok

[dry mulch]

Erhm akstually Seafloor is also a biome becos things can survive in it until it🤓👆 floods

[sleek wadi]

They can't build buildings in it, so I wouldn't call it that 🤓🤓🤓

[dry mulch]

But a biome isn't a place you can build things in, its a place where nature can develop, and animals can roam the seafloor 🤓🤓🤓

[sleek wadi]

Your mother 🤓🤓🤓

[normal bough]

how do you guys do this?

I want ANSWERS

[olive scroll]

Update: Humans Kingdoms Done!

[midnight kite]

your mom is also a biome, atleast in the size department

[bright fern]

earthquake and then some messing around I assume

[idle totem]

height map conversions usually

or painting over a height map and converting it

[bright fern]

how do i get started on making maps

[bright fern]

nevermind i just saw the pin

[lyric ermine]

anybody know a good way to make good rivers

[lyric ermine]

also yeah how DO you do this? do you just use earthquakes?

[peak thunder]

they probably just grabbed a heightmap online, assigned worldbox colors to certains heights in photoshop, then turned it into a wb map

easiest way to make a map

not very realistic though

[lyric ermine]

thanks

what about rivers?

[peak thunder]

just grab a brush and draw some lines

[olive scroll]

Start it on the mountains going to the sea. There could be lots of rivers coming from the mountain that are connected to a single river when it flows out to the sea

Like this

[idle totem]

also fairly lazy

[tawny kelp]

Are maps bigger on steam than mobile?

[amber coyote]

can you download maps on mac book ?

[sleek wadi]

They tend to be because you're actually able to run them

[tepid sparrow]

hmm i think there's a way, have a look at the guide below

[true pelican]

Follow this guide to see how you can install and upload maps:

@amber coyote

[normal bough]

how does this look like?

[normal bough]

wdym

[arctic hamlet]

Very interesting to settle on

[west dirge]

Nice but needs a bit more detail

It looks too smooth

For a map

[lyric ermine]

I still don't get it

[lyric ermine]

What about mountains aswell

[arctic hamlet]

Just draw a line from a mountain to a sea, is that difficult

[lyric ermine]

Oh

Oh
Ok

[lyric ermine]

Very rude of you

[arctic hamlet]

How

[lyric ermine]

Just the way u said it

[arctic hamlet]

Rivers are literally that, they dig the ground, that ground make them curve

[olive scroll]

You can watch my tutorial on YouTube

#🎬worldbox-content message

[lyric ermine]

wait why do you do the waters after

[olive scroll]

In case I wanted to add another island. So I'ma not detail the ocean early

[lyric ermine]

ok

[lyric ermine]

whats your thought process when making shorelines

and the shapes of the islands

/continents

[olive scroll]

hmm they should not look too smooth or even cuz that make it look like man-made or just blobs

Update: 1st Dwarf Kingdom done!

[lyric ermine]

so whats a good way of coming by this without doing zigzags

[olive scroll]

hmm thats really the way i can think of

[lyric ermine]

@olive scrolllike how can i improve on this map #🌐map-downloads message

[olive scroll]

just watch my vids

[lyric ermine]

ok

[olive scroll]

What do you think about these names hahaaha

[lyric ermine]

idk

@olive scrolli'll try using your guide when i get home

[olive scroll]

Bruh 137 Villages hahahahaha

some names are not even popping out from the map

[lyric ermine]

@olive scrollwhat kind of map should I do? should i do a map based on the cursed biome or like a war-torn wasteland biome based world

im on the fence with these two

[olive scroll]

Why not both

A story where a war-torn wasteland with its toxic land that remains for hundreds of years turning it into cursed land

[lyric ermine]

That sounds cool

But first I'm going to do the pre-war world

So later on I can just use biome seeds

@bright fern this sucks ass man #🌐map-downloads message

[cold coral]

Hi, can you send me the link to a valid tutorial for downloading the worlds, I can't get it to work

[lyric ermine]

Check pins

[cold coral]

ty

[lyric ermine]

Yw

[sterile pewter]

Any way to download a map on mobile

[lyric ermine]

check pins

[sweet siren]

Crystal*
Sorry just bugs me for some reason
I like em tho

[normal bough]

ik

thats why i wanna know how to do this

I want my land mountains and ocean look like this

[sleek wadi]

What I've seen people do is scribble down lines use the vortex tool and then clean up what you get

[olive scroll]

That's intentional

[idle totem]

they find a height map of whatever region, color it with WorldBox colors, and put it in a map converter

[sweet siren]

Ah ok

[ruby summit]

Hey guys, I'm having trouble getting maps, I'm on a Google Pixel 8 Pro, any time I try to move the file to one of the save files via the 'explorer' app, I receive a message stating, "Can't use this folder, to protect your privacy, choose another folder." Anyone know how to fix this?

[true pelican]

How to access worldbox data folder on android 11 or above!

1. Download a third-party application like "File Manager" from google play
2. Now go to your phone’s "settings" application, after that find/search an factory system application called "Files" (has a darker blue background with a big white folder in the center of the icon), then click it
3. you will be showed the "app info" screen after clicked the "Files" application, find the three dots button
4. After you see the three dots button, click the three dots button and then if it has an "uninstall updates" option there, make sure to choose the option (wait until the uninstalling process is done and completed to avoid a mistake)
5. Now open the third-party application (File Manager) and allow it to manage files
6. Find the "Android" folder and open it, then open the data folder
7. You'll see some popup, touch "ok"/"yes" and also touch the "use this folder" button at bottom without opening any files that are showing
8. If you have succeeded, the app will now have access to android file and can enter the saves folder in "com.mkarpenko.worldbox" folder

[west dirge]

Draw squiggly lines everywhere, every godamn where and use voxel

[olive scroll]

Done with Dwarf Kingdoms.

[sleek wadi]

You'll NEVER guess where the orcs will be!!

[olive scroll]

Only a genius can

[normal bough]

wouldnt they be in the ocean?

[arctic hamlet]

They may be the black civilization but is zoomed too out

[haughty wind]

no I don’t 😈

[sweet siren]

Ocean

[sweet siren]

Idk why but this is giving me eragon vibes, I gotta do an actual good Alagaësia after my space map

[olive scroll]

Finally im done. Orcs Kingdom:

[lyric ermine]

@olive scroll i don't know how you rough up the terrain like that

its so hard

do u have any advice

[olive scroll]

just slowly do it i guess

using the proper brush size

[lyric ermine]

which size and shape do you reccomend

and how should i go by roughing it up

[olive scroll]

uhh the first one on the first row

[olive scroll]

just dont make it too smooth looking

[lyric ermine]

got it

[lyric ermine]

and should i use the finger like you do in that video

[olive scroll]

Dont make it something like this

you can do it like this:

if its like huge land or continent

[olive scroll]

yah my advice, so u can redo it if you made a mistake

[lyric ermine]

but should you start with this and work off of that?

[olive scroll]

yah

basic shape first. even like simple blob shape, then start carving it with the ocean

trim abit to the edges so it doesnt look too "round shape" or smooth

[lyric ermine]

what about vortex?

how often should I use it?

@olive scroll

[olive scroll]

I use it on the edge of the biomes. To have a nice transition.

[lyric ermine]

got it

[olive scroll]

But I can manually do the transition myself by using the finger tool.

[lyric ermine]

but then again, you are experienced

[olive scroll]

Yah haha

[violet grotto]

do it randomly squiggly

[bright fern]

add more green in it and make little islands

[violet grotto]

just an example though

[violet grotto]

@bright fern

[bright fern]

how to build like that

[lyric ermine]

[tender jasper]

NBM

nvm

wait

[idle totem]

@bright fern dont ask for pirated versions of the game

[brisk oxide]

I missed the fun 😭

[bright fern]

Every time I use image to map, I don't know why but I get these things on the map

[junior quest]

Does anyone know how to download maps on mobile? (Android)

[violet grotto]

what app do you use to make maps?

[bright fern]

I tried Photoshop and then Illustrator, but it's still the same.

[hybrid imp]

do you use the map conversion bot or the application

[bright fern]

Application

[violet grotto]

can i see the image you tryna convert?

[violet grotto]

application?

you didn't use #🔁map-conversion ?

@hybrid imp i see that

[violet grotto]

your work?

[bright fern]

yes

[violet grotto]

cool

[hybrid imp]

so you used the sea pickle app to convert it?

[bright fern]

nop

Wait

[violet grotto]

there's nothing wrong with it though

[hybrid imp]

ohhh you use that,

[violet grotto]

i think it's the converter

[bright fern]

yes

[hybrid imp]

i dont know much about that one, but maybe that uses a different color pallet

thus, it fills in the blanks with those weird materials

or maybe your image isnt a good resolution

[violet grotto]

ye color pallette

i tried to convert it

[bright fern]

ok

[violet grotto]

it's not the resolution though

[bright fern]

well

I'll see what I do

[olive scroll]

#🌐✔cool-maps message Im finished with the map, uploaded already

this too if u want

[violet grotto]

nothing seems wrong

[violet grotto]

not a fan of erotion?

cool map though

I'll give it an 8

[bright fern]

How??

[violet grotto]

try to use the converter on pins

and turn off dither mode

[olive scroll]

Yeh. the rivers look weird with sand. Instead of it looking just a strip body of water dividing the land a bit, it looks like seas with beaches

And in rl maps, the rivers blend well into their surrounding, but with sands it looks weird

[violet grotto]

i will try to edit it

[bright fern]

This is what I do and I also put the layers of the biomes

Will it be the image to map version?

[violet grotto]

maybe it's because of the size

make it 1024x1024

your map is 1088x1080

here

1024x1024

[bright fern]

I'll try it tomorrow

Thanks

[violet grotto]

okay good night

it's afternoon here though

[olive scroll]

@fresh parcel is the Europe map you posted mobile friendly?

[olive scroll]

[olive scroll]

First time building with a huge map and WTH, look at the biggest brush it looks so tiny hahaha.

i never thought something so big before (mobile-user before) is now sooo small ahha

[olive scroll]

ima make a bigger version of the detailed kingdom

[fresh parcel]

idk

i didn`t even try

[tepid sparrow]

splendid

[violet grotto]

[lyric ermine]

oh i see it

so just add some land so it doesn't look like a hammer? @olive scroll

like this?

[olive scroll]

yah better

[lyric ermine]

@olive scroll how does this look?

@olive scroll

know what i should do just a massive landmass

is this good

[violet grotto]

tryna make realistic map?

[lyric ermine]

yup

but it's themed around the cursed biome

[sleek wadi]

Has swamp vibes

[violet grotto]

not a fan of symmetry?

[lyric ermine]

not working on that one anymore

[violet grotto]

cool kingdom though

I'll give it a 7

@lyric ermine hey

[lyric ermine]

yup

btw i finished the coastline

[lyric ermine]

does this look good though?

[violet grotto]

yeah

[lyric ermine]

how should i come by making beaches

[violet grotto]

try sand first

or just make a squiggly line

[lyric ermine]

why does this look like a dog

[violet grotto]

yeah

dog

wait

you make maps on worldbox?

[lyric ermine]

yeah not very good ones lol

#🌐map-downloads message, #🌐map-downloads message

[violet grotto]

im making maps on mobile (Android) though and making alternative way to add buildings manually

i did this on Android

took a day to finish

[lyric ermine]

wowo

[violet grotto]

[violet grotto]

Ur map so good that bot didn't add downvote

[lyric ermine]

lol thanks

[lyric ibex]

You should?

Oh

probably you need to be level 10

so with chicken role or higher

okay

[normal bough]

hmm making maps using wb huh

cool

Its just that sometimes i forget to pause and it the year is already 1000 when i complete

is there an way to stop that

and i take some seconds to pause too

which takes away some months

and i dont constantly work on a map so if there is a way to put back the time to 0 i would love it

[olive scroll]

I think there's mod for that ifk

[bright fern]

the bottom of the map

[signal sequoia]

Hello, are there Fortnite maps?

[amber moth]

best map?

[lyric ibex]

ther is no one best map. Also, the best maps are to large to use them on mobile

[olive scroll]

i made maps for mobile

btw i laid out the borders of the countries:

wdyt

[normal bough]

nice

[normal bough]

what size is this?

[normal bough]

probably

you can make mobile friendly rectangle maps

@olive scroll what size is the map you are making

[olive scroll]

It's big so It's not for mobile

[normal bough]

ik

i want the x * x

of the map you are making

@olive scroll ???

[olive scroll]

I don't think you can make those rectangle size maps in mobile

[normal bough]

well what size it is

we can do it

but anyway

im on pc rn

[olive scroll]

I'm not done yet

[normal bough]

and you can make them on mobile too

[olive scroll]

How

[normal bough]

if you have heard of #🔁map-conversion

[olive scroll]

I don't lol

[normal bough]

you can basically create an image and put there

and you can adjust the size

and download it

then make it on wb

or you can just make a map on a paint app and converse it and post it

im making a map like slime

!!

im live on vc 1

making this map

[violet grotto]

you can make though but smaller

[olive scroll]

Current Kingdoms

[cinder forge]

Can you make a version that ony have the fotress but not with the civs ? Pls

[olive scroll]

Why?

I can after I'm finished

[cinder forge]

Me want to make the civs myself

[cinder forge]

Ok thank you : )

[olive scroll]

Do you want to keep the buildings or..

They are customed placed

[cinder forge]

No wipe it out

[olive scroll]

K I'ma finish it first

[cinder forge]

Ok

[brisk oxide]

Ima actually try to make custom cities

[olive scroll]

Yeh try it, city planning of worldbox is trash lol. But you have to use mod to manually place buildings

[brisk oxide]

Ik

[violet grotto]

or

[olive scroll]

I mean you can do it on mobile...but it's tedious...I tried. Having to wait them to build the structure I want in certain place..ugh

[sweet siren]

@lyric ermine you should get map creator

Your stuff is genuinely on par with some of the stuff in #🌐✔cool-maps

[lyric ermine]

thanks man

[lyric ermine]

i have something planned for my next map

i think its going to be great

i didn't really expect this map to do so well #🌐map-downloads message

i thought that the rivers looked ugly lol

[sweet siren]

Yeah the rivers are the weak point, but rivers are hard to do unless they’re huge

[lyric ermine]

i'm getting my gaming pc soon so i'll be able to make bigger maps

@sweet siren

[sweet siren]

Niiice

[lyric ermine]

that looks nice how'd u do it?

[sweet siren]

That’s sick

It actually looks amazing how you have one area that’s done and then a flat line for the part that isn’t

[bright fern]

It's an extra continent for an old map. Let's say like a WOW expansion

[sweet siren]

Ohhh

How’d you do that? Export the map and then make it bigger with the bot?

[lyric ermine]

@bright fernhow do i come by making terrain that looks like that?

Error: agile, was passed as addition_method instead of a valid addition_method! Please specify either add or replace as the first command argument.

[lyric ermine]

what the hell does define traits do

[bright fern]

simply put small surfaces from another biome to generate that sensation of depth

[lyric ermine]

will u please speak english lol

[sweet siren]

Use slightly different colored biomes to make it look like it has depth

[bright fern]

There is a mod called image to map. Export an image and the mod will convert it into a map. What I did was enlarge the image of the old map and then use the mod

[lyric ermine]

no i mean making the high and low ground parts

[sweet siren]

So basically you did what I said but with the mod and not the bot

[bright fern]

yes

[lyric ermine]

so by using that i could potentially make a series of maps that are all in one map together

so like i can make each continent individually

and then once i post all of those

i can mesh all of the images together

in one map

to form a big map?

with all of those continents?

@bright fern

bruh

@bright fern tell mee

[bright fern]

yes yes

[lyric ermine]

oh nice!

how do i make that good terrain with the high ground and the low ground?

[bright fern]

but make sure it is small or you may have some errors like these

[lyric ermine]

make sure what is small

[bright fern]

with this
