[grim bolt]

Instructed summoned

[desert carbon]

It looks complete to me.

[midnight kite]

Currently working on a very detailed Attack on Titan map of Paradise

this is how the north looks so far, whatyall think?

[sleek wadi]

I need him to pin the heightmap link

[desert carbon]

Well, the original file.

Not your screenshot. xD

[grim bolt]

WHERE ARE THE WALLS

[midnight kite]

those come at the end ofc

[grim bolt]

I see

Looks very cool

Where would you add it tho

[sleek wadi]

This

[midnight kite]

yes thank you, I just hope the update comes quick now so i can release it with all the new biomes

[sleek wadi]

Instructed, can you please pin this link so I could point people to it if people want a map of a specific place?

[grim bolt]

The walls take up like 20% of Paradis Island I suppose

[midnight kite]

OOooo that looks great

[sleek wadi]

With the height map update of the bot, it's a lot easier to make good looking maps

[grim bolt]

Even kideuz is here

[steep talon]

Walls when

[midnight kite]

Im using this map for reference

[grim bolt]

@midnight kite opinion on this

[midnight kite]

very good, will make the wb just as detailed

[storm elk]

time to convert

[grim bolt]

I haven't made any progress

[sleek wadi]

Here's an example

[grim bolt]

In two days

[midnight kite]

I think the only thing missing from you maps are the shape of the landmasses
They are not bad but since your terrain style is so great I would for the landmasses to look more natural

idk how to explain

but anyway still look decent

[grim bolt]

uhmmm

[midnight kite]

Aight

[grim bolt]

How can I improve on it

[midnight kite]

hmmm

[storm elk]

whoops missed a comma

[grim bolt]

Top right was done too

Sent older image

[midnight kite]

@grim bolt make the coast maybe look like this, less chaotic and more realistic looking,

Or just use real life coasts as a reference directly

Everyone does it different and its also a matter of taste, so you decide at the end

[grim bolt]

I see

[midnight kite]

Is pinned

[sleek wadi]

Thanks

[midnight kite]

np

[arctic hamlet]

the new converter made me motivated to start a new map

[desert carbon]

What do you think of the height map conversion tool?

[storm elk]

Behold the monstrosity

[grim bolt]

I feel like the coastlines in this one are a lot more chaotic than my first map

[grim bolt]

Ong

[desert carbon]

Brb, gotta add a new "acid trip" option to the AMP map converter real quick.

(Kidding.)

[midnight kite]

On one hand good because it makes map making alot easier

On the other bad because all those tools take away the independence of making maps, like making it too easy i would say

[sleek wadi]

I feel the same way. It feels oddly cheap

[midnight kite]

still

[grim bolt]

Looks like a good map for studying altitudes

[midnight kite]

The better the tools the better the maps, so it has its ups for the community as a whole

I guess

[desert carbon]

Yeah, though the latter kinda depends on how you use the tool. There's a major difference between hand crafting a height map to use as a base and copying one from the internet.

[storm elk]

Ok imma code it so the height map is scalable via code brb

[midnight kite]

the only things I use is map makers mod, cuz without it its just straight up annoying. Everything else is made by hand

Except when I do recreate maps like Attack on titan, Im mostly using a referance for that ofc

image to map is kinda necessary so I can make it look as accurate as possible

[desert carbon]

Yeah, and I think people can tell when looking at your maps (in a very good way) that you pretty much hand place every pixel.

[sleek wadi]

I need to change the brightness

Increase it a little

This was made with this height map

[midnight kite]

[sleek wadi]

0 is sea level, which doesn't align with how the heightmap image gen works

There are three layers of ocean, then it gets the sand/plains

[desert carbon]

It also seems like an insane time investment to be making though. IwI

[midnight kite]

yes it is, on average i would say 1 map of mine takes around 20 - 30 hours to complete

but its fun and increases skills like drawing and geography, so its time well spent

[sleek wadi]

#🌐map-downloads message what in Maxim's name is this?

[desert carbon]

We've gone too far.

[storm elk]

yes :3

[sleek wadi]

[midnight kite]

this automation stuff is getting out of hand..

but it looks cool so eh

[desert carbon]

Just a few days ago, AMP i2m was a total joke, and now it seems to have become the most advanced tool out of nowhere. xD

[midnight kite]

real

[sleek wadi]

AMP was what I used to get the main shape of a map, now it can make the entire thing with hardly any clean up

Just look at this thing ffs

[desert carbon]

Honestly, the most baffling part in my mind is the speed of the converter. Only like 25 hours ago, it took an eternity to do anything above 20x20 (talking about the new version), and now, I managed to optimize it to a point where it can no sweat convert to 50x50.

[sleek wadi]

Yeah

[desert carbon]

On that note, I'll be heading offline now and just pushed out the final converter update for the day.

It primarily adds stuff like a proper credits command:

[sleek wadi]

What did you add?

[desert carbon]

[midnight kite]

will we ever be able to run 100x100 maps without any lag full population?

[sleek wadi]

Ah

Ok

[sleek wadi]

Prolly not

[sleek wadi]

Ayyy, that's me

[knotty hamlet]

The idea of having more biome variety to work with when the update comes fills me with hope.

[sleek wadi]

@knotty hamlet check this out

[knotty hamlet]

Love the layering

And mountain erosion

[sleek wadi]

Yeah

It's from this

[knotty hamlet]

Is that RAW DEM

Is that a snippet of real Topo or drawn?

[sleek wadi]

It's a real map from somewhere

I'm not sure where

[sleek wadi]

and yes, it's completely raw. Straight off the map bot

[knotty hamlet]

It’s a real good way to make real good terrain

[sleek wadi]

Yeah

I understand how good this is

[knotty hamlet]

My only wish is that we could show the layering in more detail within WB

[sleek wadi]

Another completely raw one

[knotty hamlet]

The real challenge with realistic maps is to incorporate biomes that are inherently unrealistic. Do it right and it’s beautiful

[sleek wadi]

Yeah

I think the meta for image made maps would be a height map for the base, then adding the biomes using either your imagination or following the real world biome map

[knotty hamlet]

My brother in Maxim you basically just described my entire workflow.

I like it tho, makes your maps not just a worldbox map but also something you can use else where

[sleek wadi]

And with this website you can easily make real world maps

I got it pinned

The only issue, is the way I have the pallet set up for the converter, it adds too much water sometimes

With this height map 0 is c level. But with the pallet, zero is deep ocean, and there's a few more layers, although small, until it gets to sand/plains

[knotty hamlet]

Does that site include the ocean floor?

[sleek wadi]

Yes it does

[knotty hamlet]

Good find

[sleek wadi]

But you'll need to edit the brightness to get the converted image from turning all the land into mountains

[midnight kite]

its jover for mapmaking

[sleek wadi]

This is what I mean

[midnight kite]

😭

[sleek wadi]

Australia usually isn't covered in water

[lean kraken]

Huh

[storm elk]

This is so scuffed lol

[lean kraken]

In sand
Yes

[lean kraken]

Alien technology

[storm elk]

@desert carbon opinions on my code?

( a pre defined TILE_PALETTE is already up there lol )

[knotty hamlet]

Welp looks like I’m retiring

[storm elk]

oh wait i can totally get away with decimal values in this

[sleek wadi]

Nah, there's good work in putting in effort for maps

[hollow drift]

@fossil schooner Your world map doesn't work for me

[storm elk]

there we gooo

[storm elk]

too big to run for u?

[hollow drift]

I don't know. When i put it in the save area it doesn't show up in the game

[idle totem]

This is crazy

wtf

[storm elk]

has to be named map.wbox

nothing else

[knotty hamlet]

Ooh getting fancy with some mid ocean ridges, one thing I will be testing out more in my next world

[idle totem]

This converter is INSANE

holy

[sleek wadi]

Crazy?

🐀

[cedar hare]

I was crazy once

[hollow drift]

There is already another map called that tho

[storm elk]

put it into the save1 folder or whatever number it is

and name it map.wbox

[sleek wadi]

Some of my favorites I genned

[storm elk]

delete any other existin ones in there

[hollow drift]

kk

[sleek wadi]

All with the heightmap thing

[knotty hamlet]

what made that 3rd image?

[sleek wadi]

Height map of the South Pole of the Moon

[knotty hamlet]

Crazy

[storm elk]

acid trip conversion mode 2.0

[storm elk]

yoink

[sleek wadi]

Do the acid trip on that

That'll be crazy

[storm elk]

ye

[sleek wadi]

I think the craziest part is, is how easy it is to make real world locations now

[idle totem]

Yeah

BUT

[sleek wadi]

Your mother

[idle totem]

hold on I gotta make an announcement rq

[knotty hamlet]

You put the fear of god into the pope, what have you done…

[sleek wadi]

It feels cheap, as I already mentioned up in the chat somewhere

[storm elk]

yeah dont spam these in #🌐map-downloads obviously

didn't ya already warn against that before

[sleek wadi]

Here

[storm elk]

My phone is fucking dying

too many tile types lmao

[sleek wadi]

What are you doing to the poor thing?

[storm elk]

dw it can run up to 30 by 30 just fine

[sleek wadi]

[storm elk]

:3

[hollow drift]

Alr I think it works.

[sleek wadi]

What works?

[hollow drift]

Though i feel the image on Map downloads is a bit misleading @storm elk

[storm elk]

idk why but the acid trip is failing to conver the moonmap properly

[storm elk]

Well it's the preview.png

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hollow drift]

alr lol

[storm elk]

wait do you mean my upload or someone elses

[idle totem]

Attention Map Makers!

Recently, a new map converter has been developed for the server (by our very own Key Of Wisdom). This is an incredible tool for making maps, BUT it cannot be abused. Do NOT spam maps made with minimal effort using the converter in #🌐map-downloads, and credit the converter if you do use it as a primary tool in the creation of your map.

Additionally, when applying for map maker, you will now need to show proof and screenshots of the creation of your maps. Significant effort has to go into the creation of the map for you to be considered for the role. Maps that are mostly created by the converter will not be taken into account.

Thank you, and good luck map making!

[storm elk]

ok was askign wether ya gonna pin that

[storm elk]

ok for some reason it's freezing up on this

[storm elk]

when trying to load the map i gneerated

[idle totem]

Also repinning that

So people see it

[storm elk]

Welp i unintetionally made a map.wbox that freezes the game but doens't crash it...

neat

[sleek wadi]

Devious

[storm elk]

~decode

[true pelican]

Decoded file map.wbox (attachment 1).

[storm elk]

Oh i think ik the problem

tilemap exceeds 128

_gloop's code has a failsafe where it spams in mountains at the end of tilemaps should any of the tilearry numbers get too high

ok this is fucking wierd

worldbox keeps freezing

[sleek wadi]

Literally the island of Sodor

Hold on

There

Hmm, not that good

Something weird happened

[storm elk]

Yeah something about this just makes my acid trip create a game freezing map.wbox and i can't tell why

oh happened with the island of sodor as well

hmm

I don't understand why worldbox can load the literal randomized pixel maps but not the acid trips...

Always getting stuck on the recreate sizes step..

[storm elk]

finally got it to work by removing explosives en shch

[sleek wadi]

[storm elk]

it's lovely

[lean kraken]

Moon

[balmy linden]

you can exceed the 128

[storm elk]

aight

so probably the explosives then

[balmy linden]

just needs to be multiples of 64

like 64 128 etc

[storm elk]

hmm ok

[balmy linden]

works for higher numbers too

[storm elk]

welp i'll edit this then ig and see if it loads up

Nope still gets stuck on Recreate Sizes(3/4) (10/13) for zome reason

doesn't even crash

[main shore]

What is the correct size to convert an image into a titanic map?

[sleek wadi]

8x8 iirc

9x9 is iceberg

[main shore]

Ok

[sleek wadi]

Guys

Unholy abomination time

AI made height maps

[lean kraken]

What the

[sleek wadi]

Not that great, pretty messy

Made from this

[lean kraken]

The water looks completely unnatural

[sleek wadi]

Because it is

The AI does NOT know what I'm talking about

YEA

IT HAS A HEIGHTMAP

We have easy procedurally generated maps

@idle totem would the map maker role be restricted to people who make really good handmade maps, political border maps with civilizations already placed?

[idle totem]

wdym

[sleek wadi]

What are you looking for when someone applies for map maker?

Effort?

[idle totem]

Yeah

If it takes effort and it looks appealing

It can be a political border map, it can be a fantasy map, doesn’t matter

You can’t just peel a map off the converter and add biomes tho

[sleek wadi]

Ya, ofc

That'll just make me feel bad

I know how much effort it takes to make some of the maps in #🌐✔cool-maps , and I don't want to take away from that

I think I'll try adding more details. Ruins and other things

This bot update really messed up some things

It's annoying making custom kingdoms, but not too bad

[bright fern]

Wip

[sleek wadi]

Hmm

I should stop

[bright fern]

debería aplicar eso

[sleek wadi]

Huh?

[bright fern]

should apply that*

[sleek wadi]

Apply that to what?

[bright fern]

sorry I missed the Spanish

[bright fern]

this

[sleek wadi]

What are you applying?

[bright fern]

the map textures

[sleek wadi]

The biomes?

[bright fern]

yes

[storm elk]

ur addicted

[sleek wadi]

Maybe

I should actually make map instead of just genning more things

[storm elk]

yeah

that or code a map from scratch

[sleek wadi]

@storm elk

Made a proof of concept map

15x15

[desert carbon]

I've seen far worse. xD

[storm elk]

cool :P

[storm elk]

ooh neat

[sleek wadi]

@desert carbon did you see the new pin in this channel?

[bright fern]

the biomes

[desert carbon]

Yup!

[sleek wadi]

i should have hidden what was possible and then applied for map maker

[desert carbon]

IwI

[grim bolt]

using the single pixel brush is kinda stressing lol

[wide mauve]

How to put the maps from here on Android version?

[steep talon]

This reactions looking real sussy #🌐map-downloads message

[sleek wadi]

[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.

if the following guide above doesn't work for you, try the alternative way through this link: #1150826964937084969 message
@wide mauve

[hollow jacinth]

idk why you didn't change your pfp yet

[celest wigeon]

Saw could someone help me on how to get the map image converter to work on its own
(personally don't want to use the server one because im making a map and I want to reveal it when its done)

let me try a jpg

yup still ntn

[knotty hamlet]

Are you talking about the sea pickle one?

[celest wigeon]

i was but im good now

[knotty hamlet]

Alr happy mapmaking

[celest wigeon]

😈

[lusty basin]

Hello good friends! You come to ask a question! Does anyone remember the measurements of a titanic map? If they were 11x11 or 10x10?

[storm elk]

8 by 8

so 512 by 512 tiles

map sizes in order: #🚑help-chat message

[lusty basin]

Ok

[storm elk]

Welp got white noise function down for map generation
Time to figure out other stuff... yay

[sleek wadi]

Gosh darn discord ruining everything

[hollow jacinth]

how about random color for the map convertor?

[storm elk]

easiest way to do so would just be shuffling around the tileMap data

[hollow jacinth]

how about putting trees and houses on the map

[storm elk]

That's alot more complicated -w-

or well tedious

[hollow jacinth]

with the convertor

[storm elk]

Well the #🔁map-conversion is just for turning images into terrain

I'm just making my own code for randomly generated maps that look good

python map converter
#🌐map-discussion message

If u want to mess around with a map converter of ur own and don't mind coding do dis

[hollow jacinth]

idk why we can't see the seed we got when the game generates a new world

[hollow jacinth]

i have the image to map mod

[storm elk]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[storm elk]

Honestly don't think there is a seed system in worldbox

or well something that can easily be implemented anyways

[hollow jacinth]

i can't share images to show proof but there is a seed system

[storm elk]

aight dm that ig

[sleek wadi]

Share it in #📷worldbox-screenshots I'm curious as well

[bright fern]

PROGRESS, suggestions?

[desert carbon]

WorldBox worlds don't have seeds. The screenshot that you sent of my mod which allows for entry of a seed is a completely custom attampt at adding a seed system to the game, and it has bugs.
So no, the base game doesn't have any seed system.
@storm elk @sleek wadi

[hollow jacinth]

#📷worldbox-screenshots there is one

[hollow jacinth]

oh

nvm then

[desert carbon]

Considering that I'm the person that painstakingly tried coding this seed system in, I can safely say that it's not from the base game. xD

[hollow jacinth]

idk how is it so accurate to what it is normally

[sleek wadi]

Oh

[knotty hamlet]

I recommend blending the biomes more. Specifically in the North where the savannah/desert suddenly becomes polar.

Also some the rivers defy gravity

[bright fern]

How do I mix the biomes so that it doesn't look weird?

[bright fern]

oh... should I do?

[knotty hamlet]

In a realistic sense there would be a stretch of forest/grasslands/steppes between savannahs and the poles. We only have really grassland to choose from to represent this. This is also disregarding more complex factors such as wind, ocean currents, and moisture. Rivers find the path of least resistance this causes them to merge as they flow to the ocean. The only exception is deltas which rarely occur.

I feel like the only cardinal sin is the rivers, but you can morph it into lore for the world. Is there some mysterious force that causes rivers to flow upwards defying gravity, maybe the ocean is like a plant covering the continent with tendrils of water. Get creative with it.

[bright fern]

well first I found the map on the internet and second I only thought about the aesthetics, but it would be more attractive to have some realism

[bright fern]

I could wait for the next update that will come with new biomes or I don't put any biomes and it's just land

[desert carbon]

Because I rig the entire games RNG involved in world generation to allow for the existence of seeds, while leaving the process of how it uses that RNG to generate a world untouched.

[knotty hamlet]

If aesthetics you're after than obviously you can forgo some realism. The next update so far only has a few biomes that could be categorized as realistic. Those are (thus far) maple, birch, rocklands, and perhaps flower forest.

Then again this is a game where you can spawn dragons and drop nuclear explosives, realism is simply a suggestion

[lean kraken]

I dont think wb should have a seed system

[desert carbon]

Understandable.

I mainly did it because I wanted to figure out how I could even accomplish something like that.

[marble mauve]

40/10

[bright fern]

[midnight kite]

look what im cooking

still things that need to be done is

• coastline
• ocean
• more rivers
• lakes
• mountains
• biomes
• LOT of details
• walls

[molten jay]

good map

[midnight kite]

oops

[molten jay]

I speak as an experienced map maker.

[molten jay]

@slow trail

[midnight kite]

show maps

maybe ill give u map creator

[molten jay]

I really have a lot of maps, many of them are posted from an account that I had to delete. Some I simply don't publish. I don't think the title of "map maker" will help me much.

[steep talon]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-squint-suspicious-hmm-futurama-gif-8526915

[bright fern]

@knotty hamlet By mix do you mean something like that?

[knotty hamlet]

yeah something like that, really all that id add is a thin strip to make the transfer between savannah and polar less extreme

While I am at it, thoughts on these landmasses thus far?

[bright fern]

oooh

[bright fern]

WOW

[sleek wadi]

Interesting

[knotty hamlet]

look how they massacred my boy

[sleek wadi]

Yeah

It lost a lot of detail

And I didn't bother swapping the colors

[lean kraken]

Hmmmmm

[storm elk]

Took me 1.5 hours to just get the terrain expansion part of my script working qwq

[bright fern]

the predominant biome would be the desert

https://tenor.com/view/travolta-desert-dry-drought-gif-20765263

[sleek wadi]

Why?

[storm elk]

🚱

[sleek wadi]

Ah

[storm elk]

thankfully moving coordinates is so fucking simple

oh wait why'd i do width for y whoops

[junior junco]

hello! Does anyone have the map of the world with most of the countries with towns?

[bright fern]

it would be like an oasis

[hollow jacinth]

can you make the convertor be able to recompile decompiled worldbox worlds

[storm elk]

Already have a python script for that

[storm elk]

Also the bot already has that

it's the ~encode command

I've been using it in #🤖bot-commands as u can see

[hollow jacinth]

but the problem is that I can't put files in bot commands

because i'm not chicken

[storm elk]

use #🔁map-conversion then?

[hollow jacinth]

it worked

[hollow jacinth]

how many world maps you think have been created

[sleek wadi]

At least two

[full geode]

For curiosities sake, how do the map measurements work? And what would be the base game map sizes be in map measurements

[knotty hamlet]

so for example lets take a Iceberg sized map which is listed as 9x9. 1 singe chunk is divided into 64x64 pixels. So 9x9 chunks would translate to 576x576 pixels. the map sizes are 2x2,3x3,4x4,5x5,6x6,7x7,8x8, and 9x9.

[full geode]

Got it, tysm

[knotty hamlet]

👍

[full geode]

Got curious and my computer definitely does not like the 25 x 25, it’s only 7.7 times bigger than Iceberg

[knotty hamlet]

Its a lot for the ram and cpu to run

[full geode]

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense

[storm elk]

WOOO finally finished my map expander code after 5 hours https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/647779500930629642/1251387300437295134/map_expander.py

@desert carbon i see the question often enough that maybe it should be an amp command.

[storm elk]

Oh fuck forgot about culture zones

fucking hell what's with some stuff using the 1d coordinate system rather than 2d

ugh

welp good thing already coded that but that's for individual tiles

[sleek wadi]

🔥

[storm elk]

Ok also have to fix the critical error of the occurance when a building is at a 0 coordinate yayyy

[knotty hamlet]

can you fill me in on what this program is?

Saw stuff about it earlier but didn't pay much mind to it

[storm elk]

So I can use it to take a map like this
#🌐map-downloads message

Which is 7×7

and expand the map to a size like 11×11 while keeping everything on it intact

The way it's set up currently is that it'll center the original map

Though due to the variables can definitely have the original map be located elsewhere

[knotty hamlet]

so are buildings on a map maintained or terrain only?

[storm elk]

here an example

went from 2 by 2 to 5 by 5

[storm elk]

So yes everything on the terrain is maintained

[knotty hamlet]

neat, I assume this is designed for android users?

specifically

I'm not really sure how code works between platforms 😄

[desert carbon]

👀

[desert carbon]

It's python code, so it can be run on any device that the python interpreter installed.

[sleek wadi]

@desert carbon would there be a way for you to be able to change a wb map to a height map?

If it is a mountain it changes it to a white square? And the sand to the sand grey value?

And if it is a plains Savannah, it just gives it the value of a plains tile

It'll be really cool to be able to change this into a height map

[desert carbon]

Yeah, theoretically, but I'm not planning to add what's effectively map2image to an image2map command set. xD

[desert carbon]

It's fascinating to me how y'all are seemingly allergic to explicit types and coherent variable/function names btw, ran into the exact same issue when I initially had to add the tool by _gloop into AMP.

[sleek wadi]

[limpid mist]

How I install on android I don't find

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.

@limpid mist

[storm elk]

as for the naming? Yeah I don't care bout convention

I just short hand almost everything to not have to type it out

[storm elk]

So discord bots need explicit types?

[desert carbon]

Well, yeah, but it makes it incredibly painful to try working with the code, and I can guarantee you that you in a few months would agree with me on that if you ever have to modify the code again. xD

[storm elk]

aight

well i can modify it to be entirely explicit type defined variables

¯_(ツ)_/¯

as for the naming of stuff

Yeah probably not changing that

[desert carbon]

They're not needed for code to function, but it makes things more readable for others and also makes it significantly easier to spot potential bugs when doing stuff/avoiding mistakes. At the very least, we always type all functions/methods to make it apparent what parameters they expect.

[desert carbon]

Not necessary, I already did that.

[storm elk]

cool

[desert carbon]

Same with the variable naming.

[storm elk]

aight

how long it take anyways? :P

[desert carbon]

Luckily only like an hour because I could steal all typing for the map.wbox file from the image2map typing I had already done.

[storm elk]

ah

[storm elk]

so what does the cleaned up code look like? I'm curious

[desert carbon]

I can show you once I'm done integrating it into AMP if you want.

[storm elk]

👍

[main shore]

What could I improve on this map? (Yes, I copied/was inspired by a guy on the subreddit)

[main shore]

I haven't finished it yet, nor converted it to a map in fact, it's still just a drawing I made to become a map later

[sleek wadi]

Found this heightmap of middle earth

[storm elk]

oh boy

time to ruin it :3

I can't load up 128 by 128 maps tho :(

[sleek wadi]

[storm elk]

Hmm gonna have to adjust the color matchin cause it's so fine

[sleek wadi]

@desert carbon are you willing to make another heightmap variant?

[grim bolt]

Hundreds of galaxies in 9 seconds

[lean kraken]

Wb needs more terrain variety

[peak thunder]

new heightmap generator is cool but the forests def dont match up with how they should be

but i guess its only for quick maps

nice work

[sleek wadi]

The forests are just used as a higher elevation, not actually where forests would be

[peak thunder]

Yuh i see that

[lean kraken]

I think I know whats lacking

The generator should also generate biomes

For coloring

[storm elk]

just convert an actual color map of a place at that point -_-

can't get biome info from a heightmap either

[lean kraken]

Okay uhhhh

I think the problem is

That in the images there are many varieties of black and white colors

But wb only has

[storm elk]

yeah not much elevation wise

[lean kraken]

5 terrain levels I think

[storm elk]

8

deep close shallow sand soil forest hills mountains

Excluding the ocean tiles

how do i download ryders Full Resolution World Map 5400 x 2700

ik that .wbox u drag them into a save file

but what abt json

jeez the one u provided me with has been loading for 5 minutes straight now lol no wonder u said it will struggle

.wbox or .meta are the only worldbox files that create maps as far as I'm aware.

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

1. Download a third-party application like "File Manager" from google play,

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),

@balmy linden what's the fullform of amp

[desert carbon]

👀

[storm elk]

Not really an indepth explanation or anything

but does line break some stuff out and marking them with #

Alright way to get a basic understanding of the json that makes up a map.

What I won't do is compile a name of all the ids of traits, culture tech, buildings etc.

Probably best to find those by decompiling the game

[bright fern]

Do you think it's missing something or should I upload it like this?

[knotty hamlet]

I feel like the shallow ocean is unfinished compared to the detail in the close ocean. Otherwise If you feel happy It looks finished

[bright fern]

this zone?

[knotty hamlet]

yes, and the middle southern inlet.

I feel like there could be some more detail within those

[knotty hamlet]

I could be wrong but in the northwestern portion of the map is there small areas of dirt without biome?

[bright fern]

yep

I did it on purpose

[sleek wadi]

Nice

I like using dirt

[knotty hamlet]

New map?

[sleek wadi]

Yeah

Azgaar's Fantasy Map Gen is really powerful

It's great for making a map with

[knotty hamlet]

I was wondering if it was Azgaar.

As long as you don't copy and paste. Its good with me

[sleek wadi]

I don't plan on posting any of the maps that use it unless I do some serious changes

I really wish there were easier ways to make custom borders and kingdoms

Dang

It's annoying on mobile

[balmy linden]

something like "Artistic Mapping Program" or the likes

[desert carbon]

You also can't remember for sure anymore?

[grim bolt]

@tacit mesa @desert carbon since even igniz doesn't know for sure, amp now means Amusingly Malfunctioning Prototype

[tacit mesa]

No

[grim bolt]

yes

[desert carbon]

It could also mean that you're about to get banned for AMP slander.

[storm elk]

Algorithmic Map Producer

[balmy linden]

well M is mapping and p is program

A Is either automatic or artistic

either way its just named that way because it was initially made to interface discord and the convertor for this server

[desert carbon]

Well, great to know that that whole time, we've been constantly referring to AMP by the feature it by far sucked the most at until a few days ago. xD

[balmy linden]

I mean it was fine for a while because all it did was run the existing convertor like 3 years ago

and some image adjustments so that it didn't implode

[desert carbon]

Idk about that, the image handling of the old converter had consistently been causing crashing issues for us...

[desert carbon]

It'd technically be guaranteed to never break since game devs keep backwards compatibility with old saves.

[bright fern]

Do you know how to shrink maps?

It is for those who want to play the map without it being slow

[hard herald]

hey does anyone know how to download a map on macOS worldbox? ive been trying and cant figure it out

[storm elk]

solved

was file name issue

[sleek wadi]

Do you have the game made preview picture from the files?

[storm elk]

cause can just run that through #🔁map-conversion

make sure to remove all buildings trees, etc. Anything laying atop the biomes

[sleek wadi]

Yeah, it should be pretty simple. Obviously small things like rivers might get messed up

[storm elk]

that's the old format

and no it's not the map.json the bot outputs from decoding

put em in the same way like a map.wbox

[sudden shale]

Hello, I'm from Brazil and I play Worldbox on Android, I wanted some help, I've always wanted to play European maps. of America or the world within the game. But whenever I download maps for Android, I do all the procedures with the file, the game crashes and doesn't open the map. what can I do? (sorry if the text is strange, I used Google to translate)

[warped agate]

are you using zarchiver ?

[errant gate]

So I'm trying to use a custom map on mobile using zarchiver to add it to the worldbox saves but I'm having an issue getting zarchiver to behave the data file it needs to go through isn't there I used to be able to do it on my old phone but now using an s21 and so I'm stuck

[warped agate]

So your problem is that you can't find a file, is that it? But which one?

[muted owl]

I'm also from Brazil

The map might be too large

[bright fern]

norse mythology be like:

context: odin and other gods killed the titan ymir, with his body they created midgar

[knotty hamlet]

👏 Astute observation, This is actually a remake of one of my older maps. Which is based on the giant Ymir.

[sudden shale]

@muted owl no, I'm using another manager, but I'll try using this one

[warped agate]

I advise you to use it, it's the easiest way

[sudden shale]

But I'm already downloading maps for Android, shouldn't it be the right size?

If I can use zarchiver I'll let you know, thank you very much

@desert carbon can I go crazy in #🔁map-conversion

[desert carbon]

Feel free. xD

[sleek wadi]

NICE

Hmm, slightly annoying that Azgaar doesn't save the whole map

Nvm, I found a fix

[bright fern]

[sleek wadi]

This is what is possible to generate using the updated map bot.

I have not loaded this into the game or even touched it

But, using Azgaar and the ability to make custom profiles with that and in #🔁map-conversion you can easily import those maps into world box.

It has automatically placed biomes and rivers.

You can use the tools in Azgaar to make insane stuff and adjust the climate

I'll make another one right now, taking screenshots.

[lean kraken]

It looks like Georgia

The country

[sleek wadi]

Get the biome map (BM)
Get the height map (HM)

Then I load my custom bot profile with the correct pallet so it matches Azgaar and import it.

Then I have a detailed semi realistic map to use

You can customize what biome Azgaar uses goes with what biome

If you wanted to, you can replace something with candy, or corrupted if you want

With the ability to edit your pallet, you can get nearly perfect conversions.

If you have some areas that aren't generating right, get the hex for that color and plug it into the bot

[sleek wadi]

@pulsar plover

[pulsar plover]

oh i already did that

[sleek wadi]

Did you make a custom profile so it can be loaded easily?

~acp set [name of the preset]

This is what I have

``:permafrost: Taiga

:jungle: Tropical rainforest

:swamp: Wetland

:wasteland: Cold desert

desert: Hot desert

:crystal: Glacier

lemon: Grassland

:savanna: Savanna

grass: Temperate deciduous forest

mushroom: temperate rain forest

:bare dirt: Tundra

Enchanted: tropical seasonal forest

You can use other biomes if you want to

Wasteland could be a good cold desert biome, and I used corrupted for the Tundra before

I hope we get a temperate pine biome next update, ngl

[errant gate]

It's hard to explain without showing screenshots but i need to go to android, data when I click on data it wants me to choose a path which just needs me to find the data folder again but it's not there as this is the folder that has the worldbox files in with the saves etc if I could show screenshots or drop you a message so I can send the screenshots of what I mean it would be easier to explain my predicament

[storm elk]

Max world size is 256×256

[storm elk]

There isn't really a scale in worldbox?

it's just whatever looks good

[storm elk]

nice

[sleek wadi]

I love that

[sage wing]

someone should make a 1 pixel = 1 meter vatican city

[storm elk]

roughly 850 by 850 pixels huh

neat

[arctic hamlet]

i think i already saw one map for this

quick searched and i believe it was deleted

[sleek wadi]

Only 1 meter?

[arctic hamlet]

tecnically it is

[steep talon]

How big is a block in worldbox, 5m²?

Considering npcs could be 2m tall and 0.5m wide

Hmmmm, but i think a block would fit only 2 npcs in a block

So 2m²?

[steep talon]

Also, anyone got the link of the map being used at #🗺map-updates

[sleek wadi]

They are probably going to release it when the event is over

[steep talon]

I see, well, might as well use that time to improve my old map

[sleek wadi]

You can ask the people who made the map if you can have it

[idle totem]

everyone will get it once the event concludes

[sleek wadi]

I figured

[zealous flame]

Está cosa es más grande que el mismo worldbox será que lo aguante mi teléfono con 2gd de ram

[storm elk]

2 Gigabytes of ram

Hmmm yeah that's enough to run 15×15 albeit barely

[steep talon]

I think this is pangea ultima #🌐✔cool-maps message , tho it's really similar to pangea proxima

The map is a W too

@keen hawk

This is proxima according to wikipedia

And this is ultima

[keen hawk]

You have it reversed

Ultima is the first set of images you posted, Proxima is the latter

[steep talon]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaea_Proxima

[keen hawk]

I am aware of that article and it is incorrect

[steep talon]

Really?

[keen hawk]

Check the actual sources

It even says so in that wiki article that there are two models

The older model from the 80s is the first set images you posted, called Pangaea Ultima

The current model was renamed into Pangaea Proxima and the landmasses were rearranged into the latter set of images you posted

[steep talon]

I see, well, good to know

[keen hawk]

You can even view the cited source in the wiki article, which is the youtube channel of Christopher Scotese, the geologist and paleogeographer who formulated these supercontinent models in the first place

You can clearly see that the shape of Pangaea Proxima in his youtube channel follows the second set of images you posted

[bright fern]

When I have time I will edit this old map

[molten jay]

How did he put this map in the workshop? My 25x25 map doesn't fit there.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3272558150

[storm elk]

Yeah dunno how people bypass the vanilla size only

For any developers wondering how I broke the upload limit:
I simply replaced the files during the loading process. I'm not a hacker, relax.

huhh

Well here's a different way of doing it seems
https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/manually-uploading-to-steam-workshop-with-linux-and-mac-and-windows.118872/

(id is for Starbound tho)

[carmine epoch]

I made a mod that will allow you to load maps of any size directly from the game, without editing the files. Enjoy!

#🔧mods message

@idle totem could you pin my post? 🌚

[storm elk]

convient

[storm elk]

@molten jay well there's a tool now

[idle totem]

Why?

[carmine epoch]

Since this channel already contains some programs, mods and materials that simplify working with maps (#🌐map-discussion message, #🌐map-discussion message)

[sand pawn]

[lone trench]

God bless the mod makers that make map building easier

[queen grail]

dies anyone have big earth map?

[idle totem]

Alright, it’s pinned

Thanks!

I'd like to play that you guys choose.

[arctic hamlet]

[maiden marlin]

Thanks. Good map.for my galaxy

i am gonna mage circular city here

[neat plume]

Every time I put a map into the save folder it saying error 😭

[storm elk]

Has to be named map.wbox

also could be possible what you downloaded ain't even a valid map

Though if can't eben put it in the save folder

[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.

[neat plume]

Nah I put it in load up the game and all the saves are basically errored and I can't open the one I imported

[storm elk]

Ok so the save itself is either

1. not named map.wbox

2. simply ain't a valid map file

Wether cause u downloaded a modded save or for whatever reason the uploader didn't put a valid file in

[neat plume]

Downloaded it from here

[storm elk]

Yeah some downloads here aren't valid map.wboxes for some reason

rare (i think) but happens

[neat plume]

I've tried 2 now

Can I DM you?

[storm elk]

sure

[stray otter]

Does anyone have a map of Palestine - Israel?

@candid anchor

Lame

Imagine star reacting your own post so you get on starboard

[topaz atlas]

2b2t, 2018 spawn region (2021 is just so messed up that theres no point making it)

its not done tho

its based off an image, but im editing it so its like the real spawn

the terrain and spawn walls/obsidan roof is actually like the real one tho

It would be fun seeing how ncps will try escaping this

[lethal sand]

How do I download the mods for the map on my WorldBox?

[storm elk]

That's steam only

only the steam version of worldbox has working mod support

[lethal sand]

Thank you so much for letting me know. I’ve been watching all kinds of videos for like a year.

[storm elk]

As for downloading a map can do that atleast

[true pelican]

If you own a PC, you can install maps on iOS as described in this guide: #1213490166023331850 message .
Otherwise, if you only have your iOS device, 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.

[storm elk]

tho not ideal

[lethal sand]

OK, thank you anyway

[lean kraken]

If you have your phone rooted and you know what you're doing you can do it. Otherwise not really

[restive ledge]

I simply do not understand how to download and use maps. I've followed the instructions from the wiki, and created the "save1" file inside "C:\Users\siyxmiy\AppData\LocalLow\mkarpenko\WorldBox\saves"
Everytime I load WorldBox, I can see the world slot, but I am unable to load it, and instead are only given the option to save my current world that is generated whenever I load the game. What am I missing?

[swift glade]

@restive ledge it’s easier to generate a new world within the game, exit and go to the files, replace the map.wbox file of the new world’s save file with the one you want, go back into the game and load that world

also make a shortcut to the mkarpenko file somewhere in your desktop - helps avoid all that navigating through appdata ‘n stuff

[barren gazelle]

Yo I need to know

Is there a way to make map

Using a screenshot

Of a map

Like a mod

[bright fern]

I don't know if it's official. But how the directors of the role like to expand the world

[storm elk]

Uh as far as I know no one has attempted making mods to somehow run on mobile worldbox.

The native mod loader is technically there but almost no one uses it even on steam

and experimental mode is needed which ain't even accessible within mobile worldbox

Though ig the mod loaders of NCMS or NML use it

would make sense

#🔧modding-talk message

[storm elk]

Ok after lookin into it seems like it's for .dll mods

[desert carbon]

The native mod loader is technically there but almost no one uses it even on steam
NCMS and NML are loaded via the native modloader, everyone uses it indirectly except for BepInEx users.

[storm elk]

yup

[desert carbon]

Ah, sowwy, didn't read that far. xD

[storm elk]

:P

So anyways the mobile application would have to be directly modified to even run mods if possible at all right?

[lean kraken]

Yeah
