Heightmap not working

[mighty wasp]

Hello, the algorythm that fills the holes in the map doesn't work

[swift holly]

the heightmap error correction is for "smoothing" the areas where rivers / lakes are placed... in this area, there is no water

you can try the offline heighmap addon, as it has a better resolution and accuracy

[mighty wasp]

I've tried that addon and it still gaves the same output

[prisma yarrow]

try using a DPT of 1

[mighty wasp]

I did

[vagrant tendon]

did you try generating the same tile again?

usually fixes it for me

[mighty wasp]

…

Yes, I’ve obviously regenerated the map with the new DPT

[mighty wasp]

@swift holly Please fix the program

[mighty wasp]

Aparently people doing commisions have the same issue as I do

I tried contacting someone for a commision, but they said it’s a earth tiles thing and that I should use an older version of tiles as they do

[mighty wasp]

@swift holly Still not giving up, I want to finish my earth map!

[mighty wasp]

@swift holly Day 30 of asking for help

[swift holly]

I am still not sure what the problem is 😄

you said that the correction isn't working, but in the image is no water, so nothing that should be corrected

strictly speaking, the error correction never worked before, or did not solve the problem of river flows going up and down...
since the update with the new algorithm it is finally possible to solve the problem, but it needs extremely much computing time. It can also crash with very large tiles. If you turn off the error correction, Tiles works again as before.

[mighty wasp]

I'm not sure if the heightmap correction is the issue, but this is the issue

The terrain isn't smooth as it was with the older earth tiles versions. All terrain has these blocks missing inside it, so (lets take a circle as an example) instead of having a filled circle we have a circle full of holes like this cheese image

[swift holly]

this is indeed not related to the error correction
I am not sure why it should be different on different version of TIles, because it uses the same data-source (heightmap)... I only added a third option for the offline heightmap error

with the same verticle scale, the map should be the same 🤔

the only "correction" that is done is a simple blur filter to smooth out rough edges (steep mointains), but this wont affect the smaller "1 block up and down" areas

[mighty wasp]

Would you be able to check my enviroment? I see my friend has the same issue on their system

[mighty wasp]

I'm not sure, I've generated an earth map with the same configuration but the old archives in January, but it didnt had this issue

[swift holly]

mh, I will also double check my code... I finally know where to look at

[mighty wasp]

Haha sorry for not reporting the issue correctly

[swift holly]

no problem, I am also very busy at the moment

oh, there was indeed a change in the heightmap generation... previously, I loaded the heightmap in QGIS and exported it (like all the other images)... the downside: qgig only supports 8 bit image exports... so now I am exporting a 16 bit image directly from the heightmap source using gdal, instead of using QGIS to load and export the image

as a result, the newer images have way better quality

so it's not really an bug or error that you see, but it is the effect of a better quality

the question here: is it good the way it currently is... I would say: not really
I can edit the image post processing and try to reduce the noise (up and downs), but this needs some testing

can you send me your settings and the Tile / location of this image? I will recreate different blur operations to see what will fit in best

[mighty wasp]

I'm not sure what tile it is since that picture was taken over a month ago, but the issue persists planet wide on all tiles

[mighty wasp]

How is it going @swift holly

[swift holly]

not really, since there is a new bug worldpainter... and I submitted an issue

[mighty wasp]

Could you at least provide me with an older version of tiles that doesnt have this issue

[mighty wasp]

@swift holly

[mighty wasp]

@swift holly

[mighty wasp]

@swift holly

[swift holly]

I don't have the older version.... if I would save them, every version would be more then 40 GB and I need A LOT of external hard drives just to store the older versions

[mighty wasp]

Any new updates?

[mighty wasp]

@swift holly

[mighty wasp]

Does it even make sense to ping you anymore

[swift holly]

I am still waiting for a WorldPainter fix...
https://github.com/Captain-Chaos/WorldPainter/issues/362
you can follow it here 😉

[swift holly]

ok, the bug should be fixed now. Will take a look at it today or tomorrow

[vagrant tendon]

tested it, same issue here

[swift holly]

no, the worldpainter bug is fixed... I haven't changed anythin on Tiles yet

[vagrant tendon]

ah ok

what i've noticed is that it mostly happens around rivers

[mighty wasp]

Has this been solved?

[vagrant tendon]

i think latest update did

[mighty wasp]

There's a new error
