how do i get custom edited maps

[silk pollen]

how can i get a custom edited map.

i see other servers have insanely generated maps and i put the seed in and its different

how do they do this its crazyyy

[slim belfry]

Mess around with the number here and put them in the boot commands (only mess with the 0 but not the first 0)
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 1 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 2 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 4 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 5 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 6 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 7 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 8 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 9 amplitude 0

[silk pollen]

How do you know this

[slim belfry]

Some guy found them and a bunch of others, no clue how though.

[proper thicket]

youre gonna wanna be careful with those

theyre quite... volatile

[silk pollen]

What exactly do they do

Do they make maps flatter? I saw radtown using them

[proper thicket]

they are shrouded in mystery

best to play around with them yourself and figure out cool combinations

[slim belfry]

If you don't change the commands I gave you and you put them in the boot command you will get a flat map .

[silk pollen]

All of them?

And could I get an extra mountainy map to like taller

[ashen remnant]

Any pics on what you were able to create?

[slim belfry]

Yes and yes

[slim belfry]

I haven't messed around with them properly yet, only things I've done with em is make a fully water map and make a flat map but i might mess around with them more later.

[proper thicket]

be careful though, youll need to wipe to reset stuff

[slim belfry]

Luke while your here being able to use the find command isn't ment to be possible right?

[proper thicket]

find is a weird one

[dusky steeple]

I'm gonna take that as you're not going to remove them?

We love you luke

[proper thicket]

oh also, youre missing stuff from those commands

[ashen remnant]

Ah okay, I assumed you had something cool to show off. I might have bought a server to try those commands out again if you did.

[slim belfry]

If I can figure out what the number mean e.g. 4 might mean like mountains or something, it would probably be much easier to make maps but that gonna be a pain to do

[dusky steeple]

The height noise
Amplitude, frequency and octaves
Is there more?

[slim belfry]

Do you have a good understanding of the commands or do you just know them?

[dusky steeple]

I have a good understanding of half of them

[dusky steeple]

I went through and tested them until I got a full flat map then I stopped

[slim belfry]

Alright then I might try and document the commands as well as I can later on and post them somewhere.

[dusky steeple]

Most of the commands are quite self explanatory

[slim belfry]

Should be easy then

[proper thicket]

ideally youd want this:
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 octaves 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 frequency 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 amplitude 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 offset 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 1 octaves 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 1 frequency 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 1 amplitude 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 1 offset 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 2 octaves 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 2 frequency 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 2 amplitude 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 2 offset 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 octaves 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 frequency 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 amplitude 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 offset 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 4 octaves 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 4 frequency 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 4 amplitude 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 4 offset 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 5 octaves 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 5 frequency 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 5 amplitude 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 5 offset 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 6 octaves 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 6 frequency 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 6 amplitude 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 6 offset 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 7 octaves 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 7 frequency 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 7 amplitude 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 7 offset 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 8 octaves 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 8 frequency 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 8 amplitude 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 8 offset 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 9 octaves 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 9 frequency 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 9 amplitude 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 9 offset 0

oh thats a bunch

[slim belfry]

Only a few

[dusky steeple]

Offset, never seen that before

[slim belfry]

Did you use this to create the base island of the donut map by chance or was that a different software or sum

[dusky steeple]

Wouldn't amplitude kinda drown out the affect of the others though? If it's set to 0

[proper thicket]

i mean theyre zero'd out

[proper thicket]

correct

[proper thicket]

nope, handcrafted every step of the way

[dusky steeple]

Did you make your own map editor

[proper thicket]

thats classified 😄

[dusky steeple]

I hope you guys release a map editor

[silk pollen]

how could i get more islands

[proper thicket]

try zero-ing out channel 3

[silk pollen]

whats channel 3

[proper thicket]

using the above commands, leave all others default but enter:
generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 octaves 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 frequency 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 amplitude 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 offset 0

[thick fractal]

Any idea on how to create one of these maps?

[slim belfry]

Use the command listed above and test things

[proper thicket]

you gotta play around with the above settings till you find something you like

every small change is unique, i havent catalogued all of them 😄

[dusky steeple]

if you want a map where the land extends to the world border use generation.borderpadding and have its value set to a negative number e.g =200
generation.borderpadding -200

This wont make the fully desert and flat like the map you showed but it will make the border look like this

[silk pollen]

@proper thicket jow would i get something like this

[twilit reef]

I've gotten similar ones with generation.centerfalloff set to 6500 I believe. Nothing else changed

[ruby helm]

Should definitely add these to the gitbook

[frigid shard]

does it work for nitrado?

[dusky steeple]

yes, put commands in boot commands found in both gportal and nitrados settings

then to get a new .sav file fully wipe the server

[frigid shard]

thanks

[frigid shard]

@dusky steeple is there a command to get rid of the trees, rocks, cactis etc

would anyone know how to remove the rocks cuase my flat map is covered

[dusky steeple]

Respawn_populations 0

[frigid shard]

thanks so much

[silk pollen]

is there a way for it to be specific

like only cactuses or even bushes

[dusky steeple]

i'm not sure

[bronze stag]

we should start a speadsheet on what codes do what would love to see what type of unique maps can be made

[grizzled egret]

@zealous cedar 🤣

[balmy schooner]

Server wont let me connect since i added that 😄

[dusky steeple]

If the map has no beach you will spawn at 0,0,0

That commands will remove beaches on some maps like flat maps

[dusky steeple]

Like you can't load into the server?
Or you can't respawn without dying instantly.

[shrewd jasper]

anyone know the default values of the "setheightnoiseparams"? i wanna go back to a default map

[slim belfry]

Use a preset map or delete the boot commands and change seed

[shrewd jasper]

[bright mauve]

@dusky steeple how do you get the water all in the middle?

[dusky steeple]

wdym

like a donut map?
or map that is split up into tons of islands?

[silk pollen]

is this fire

[dusky steeple]

Looks cool, perfect for a clan server theres tons of flat build spots

[bright mauve]

like the map hypes just sent

[dusky steeple]

you could try what luke suggested for more islands
#1460372116431044741 message

send a image of the map it creates for a record of what those do

[bright mauve]

generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 octaves 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 frequency 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 amplitude 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 offset 0

[bright mauve]

whats the commads you use for this?

[silk pollen]

how do i make it flatter

[bright mauve]

what commands did youuse?

[silk pollen]

generation.placecliffs 0
generation.placerockformations 1
generation.centerfalloff 222

[bright mauve]

we can share maps

[bright mauve]

having cliffs off casue no nodes in snow

[silk pollen]

it doesnt

[proper thicket]

i enourage you guys to share and collaborate on cool maps 😮

[silk pollen]

wait how do u get more nodes on map i see other servers with millions

[dusky steeple]

if you want a fully flat map you can set all of the heightnoise to zero for all layers but that will remove all hills. divots... the lot
I'm guessing you want to make it slightly flatter?
you could try just lowering all of the heightnoise from there defaults by a small amount
maybe decrease each one by 20%

[dusty crest]

G

[bright mauve]

did this and it was stuck on oceanman spawning

[bright mauve]

Any idea when you will make it so we can customize the entire map?

[proper thicket]

that would be very very hard to moderate 🤔

[bright mauve]

just being able to simply change where monuments are and changing the landscape of a specific spot would make a big difference

[proper thicket]

it would, but you gotta think not everyone has the best intentions

[bright mauve]

true true

[bright mauve]

used this and my map looks nothing like that

[bright mauve]

can you explain abit more what each one of these does #1460372116431044741 message

[proper thicket]

oh yeah im currently working on a little something

maffs

[slim belfry]

If that's going in the git book you gotta dum it down a tad

[proper thicket]

dont worry im in the workshopping stage

[bright mauve]

will it be done today?

[proper thicket]

good gracious no

[bright mauve]

Layer	Purpose (simplified)
0	Base terrain shape
1	Large hills
2	Medium hills
3	Small hills
4	Terrain roughness
5	Micro elevation
6	Cliff shaping
7	Detail noise
8	Terrain variation
9	Fine detail / jitter

[slim belfry]

Do you plan on adding a cap to the commands or just gonna let people run wild?

[bright mauve]

is this right?

[proper thicket]

theyre based on wave functions, theyre inherently capped

[proper thicket]

not too far off 😮

[median blaze]

Flash backs to a level maths for me

[proper thicket]

im glad i did further maths lmao

[median blaze]

Which one a level further or gcse?

[proper thicket]

A level

coming in handy now 😄

[bright mauve]

you able to say which is what? trying to make some cool maps but legit putting random stuff and for some reason just makes a square map or some massive mountains

[median blaze]

Yeah took one look at that and nearly went into a coma 😂😂

[proper thicket]

honestly until the wiki is done, i would honestly recommend just playing around with the numbers

[slim belfry]

These are some of the maps I've been making and well you can see how weird they get

[bright mauve]

yeh same has been happening to me

[proper thicket]

might be helpful to add the values you used for each of these 🙂

[bright mauve]

legit made the ice wall from game of thrones

[slim belfry]

Some of the values for those are on my pc at the moment the other got scrapped cause well you can guess why

[proper thicket]

even still, its fascinating 😄

[faint heath]

@proper thicket im hoping for another map like the donut map but something else but for officials

For those maps you need a bot to Tp you out every time you spawn

[ruby helm]

Luke, you should pin this

So its on the front page of tell the devs

[proper thicket]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmaybe

[harsh fern]

@cerulean zinc

[harsh fern]

Your a absolute legend btw

[proper thicket]

nah

[harsh fern]

10/10 I’ve spent 48h searching begging fighting tooth n nail for the slightest bit of help

Any help and you hand me the whole mfkn platter what a legend

[proper thicket]

I'll warn you, these commands are highly experimental

[harsh fern]

I fully understand

[proper thicket]

feel free to experiment, but proceed with caution

good man

[harsh fern]

We plan on using a test server but no one would even remotely help us so it was kinda j a wild goose chase

[proper thicket]

this is the place to be then 😄

[worthy cliff]

Is there any command to make building more flexible going into the terrain like it is on pc?

[harsh fern]

Ig this kinda fits the topic of the thread is it possible to spawn in abandoned military tents and hangars? They are all deletable w entity delete and have paths for being a entity but I can’t find the spawn command id there is one

Same as the mlrs command id love to know if I can spawn the mlrs truck at different monuments j bc it’s a entity

[proper thicket]

its not unfortunately, theyre part of the actual monument and its locked to 1 per map

[harsh fern]

That’s def sum yall should look into saying the tents n stuff are already entity’s I feel like that could be a great thing for community servers

[cerulean zinc]

Same thing that is happening to me what did you change or are you still having the problem

[proper thicket]

you need to make sure youre fully nuking your map after every attempt

like full wipe

[cerulean zinc]

And also if I would just remove these from boot commands doesn’t auto go back to vanilla values or no

[proper thicket]

it does not go back to default automatically

[cerulean zinc]

Do I need a specific map for this to work ? Or did I maybe type the commands wrong cause I did full wipe

[proper thicket]

show me what you got

[cerulean zinc]

Nothing much at all yet
Server.maxrivers 15
Server.minriverdist 100
generation.placecliffs 0
Generation.centerfalloff 222

[proper thicket]

you dont need a specific map or seed for any of this, although things will look different with each seed

[zealous cedar]

No but different seeds give slightly different results and some are more difficult with monument placing

[cerulean zinc]

What command was it to get like the snake water path looking things on your one map if you don’t mind me asking

Or did you just mess around for awhile

[cerulean zinc]

Kinda like this second one you sent really good shit

[zealous cedar]

Honestly hard work and dedication dude, get a test server and run those commands until you break atleast 20 test servers and just when your on the urge of giving up all hope, keep going, perseverance wins every time mate

[proper thicket]

these are great 🙂 do feel free to share the setups with me if you like 😛

[zealous cedar]

Can I get a get a d11 position? 😏

[cerulean zinc]

Last question want’s default value for generationcenterfalloff

[proper thicket]

800

[proper thicket]

nice try 😄

[harsh fern]

😭

Nah ur maps r sick agro would b sick if u could help the community out n teach us a little bit of youre ways when hype isn’t here to take ya credit🖤😭

[zealous cedar]

Dam, well isn't there some server partnership thing happening? That could work, sure i dont have a million followers but i guarantee no server owner puts in as much dedication 👀

[zealous cedar]

Its not even about the credit dude, tbh as stated the commands are super volatile and instead of just being handed the values its better for owners to test for themselves on a test server that they can throw away if things go wrong.

[proper thicket]

i reckon theres much wackier stuff out there

[harsh fern]

Yes i agree 100% but when were the first 10 ppl trying this when we can see what u have done and what it did and see that it helps us understand and breakdown why we want our minds to do

[fallen swift]

I know one thing, it's much better playing around with the settings on nitrado, as it takes 3 mins to boot a server rather than GPortals 20+ mins 😂

[harsh fern]

So when we show you ours it’s ah how u do that then u do it w ur lil tweak and it’s sum completely different we both never seen but rn we moreless j spamming commands crashing servers n repeating

[zealous cedar]

Oh fr there 100% is I've seen a lot of it over the 48 hours i spent continually loading servers and editing values, the values we run now are like the best of everything for our type of server

[fallen swift]

What would be good to know are the min and max for each of the values we can change.....

[harsh fern]

Gate keeper of doom😭🤝

Yeah scroll all the way to the top and read down homie there’s a ton of information above

[zealous cedar]

I had two test servers running repeatedly for days using gportal i was losing my mind 🙃

[proper thicket]

well octaves is an non-negative integer
amplitude/frequency/offset is whatever you like

[zealous cedar]

Its not about gate keeping, its about understanding

[proper thicket]

theres honestly sooooo many combinations, even I havent had time to look at all of them

[zealous cedar]

Exactly and im sure some better than what I've managed

[harsh fern]

It’s a lot easier to understand when u have something to look at ur not j playing flip flop n skip the rock w values is my point my g i understand wym ima figure it out j a lot simpler if sb helps n im not building the ice wall of Antarctica

Could I possibly get the values and list on how u got your first map the way u did like hypes flexing so I can mess w it and understand that vs the base values?

[fallen swift]

So if you have all setheightnoiseparam 1-9 in your boot commands, regardless if you have values you still get a square flat map

[north sundial]

how might i get this many nodes spawning

[zealous cedar]

They're spawned in

[harsh fern]

Manually spawned or bot?

[north sundial]

ok

[granite prairie]

And here's me wondering if it's too late to minimalise how many I've added 😭

[thick fractal]

@granite prairie how do you do that?

[sullen nebula]

so when I did that it got rid of nodes as well I believe

[sullen nebula]

it will all be out there eventually. I been an owner 2 years lol so what doesn't come out now for everyone always comes out eventually. I learn as much as I can and the rest I am patient for.

[fallen swift]

Yea there's people out there who won't share config as if their protecting the Crown Jewels 😂, who ever makes the first tik tok on it will get tons of views,

[silk pollen]

Still need the command or are you done

[fallen swift]

I could do with them, for my test server, I'm trying to get creative but it either goes from a flat square, or the Great Wall in the north

[slim belfry]

Looking for some opinions real quick but out of 10 how good would you say these maps are, granted they are missing things like islands but I haven't gotten to that yet

[dusky steeple]

Thats gotta be the coolest maps ive ever seen

[slim belfry]

Once I feel the maps are fun I'll post them here incase anyone wants them.

[harsh fern]

We plan on starting stress testing things for the next couple days I’ll lyk how it goes if u got the list of values for the first map that was made id love it as another cross reference

[thorn bay]

Will we see rain?!

[dreamy helm]

@slim belfry do you have the values for islands

[dreamy helm]

fire

[dreamy helm]

this is bob btw

been trying for the last 6 hours. amazed at your progress

[slim belfry]

Horse shoe map:
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 octaves 1
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 frequency 0.4
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 amplitude 8
generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 octaves 1 generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 frequency 1 generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 amplitude 8
Must be seed 39 also if you want launch on the map try removing a monument e.g. I removed train yard and launch site spawned in it's position instead

Btw I've only just got my server back up after it being down for 24 hours so I haven't been able to add things or smooth it out so that's currently the second version of the map, have a go at trying to smooth it out a tad if you'd like.

[ruby helm]

@zealous cedar @silk pollen may either of you please share the parameters for your guys maps so me and finlay may document their effects

[grim jacinth]

Could you guys for example make a list of some cool different map examples that actually work?

[grim jacinth]

Server.maxrivers 15
Server.minriverdist 100

Is there a minimum number of rivers one also?

And is there a command for number of lakes also?

Thanks 👏❤️

[ruby helm]

Theres not from what I know of

[grim jacinth]

Ok. Thanks for answering me. But the river one works?

[ruby helm]

Theres no minimum river count, but there is minimum distance

[slim belfry]

For those getting started these are the main commands you should know about -

Channel 0 - makes the basic land mass
Frequency - how many land masses spawn
Amplitude - how thick the land masses are
(Lower the number the thicker they are)
Offset -just raises the land so that less of it is in the water essentially (minus makes the map more out the water.
See attached pictures for more info

Channel 1 - add small hills
Frequency - how many there are
Amplitude - how tall they are

Channel 2 - defines the terrain e.g. makes it smoother, more round and less bumpy or more depending on what you want
Frequency - how many bumps ans dips there are across the map
Amplitude - how large or small the bumps are (the bumps will not all be the same size some may be much bigger then other's)

Channel 5 - makes the large mountains mainly found in the snow
Frequency - how many spawn
Amplitude - how tall it is (Lower is taller)

Channel 7 - mountains in grass
very work in progress btw

testing these out rn

have you figured out octaves and offsets

i think i understand what they are but im not too sure at the moment

[dreamy helm]

channel 4 amp turned to -170 somehow

[slim belfry]

Octaves Just seems to multiply the values in the channel for example frequency being 0.5 will turn to 1 if octaves is set to 2 and will turn to 1.5 if set to 3 ect

It definitely does more then that but I haven't fully figured it out yet

[grim jacinth]

Thanks

[slim belfry]

discord not attaching the pictures for whatever reason

So what i wanna figure out is the frequency for channel 0

Cant seem to get it to work

[final crater]

Is there a way to remove rocks but not the trees and nodes?

[ruby helm]

Generation.placerockformations 0

Node spawns in the desert are mostly dependent on those rock formations however

[oak temple]

That removes nodes and trees to

[ruby helm]

No?

That sounds like a different issue

[oak temple]

It does, I just ran that on mine and now all rocks, nodes and trees are gone

[frail ice]

generation.placecliffs 0
generation.placerockformations 0

removes small cliffs also

[ruby helm]

Well, I can tell you for the nearly two years i've been doing community servers that no, it does not.

Not sure what's causing that but you need to check your other parameters

[frail ice]

It dose not remove trees thats for sure

[cobalt bluff]

What do i change for the map to not be square?

[ruby helm]

Great question. Keep running into that too.

@slim belfry

[frail ice]

you can onlu make it, flat...like compleate flat.

Then it turns into square

[ruby helm]

No, you can make it completely square without doing that.Trust me

[cobalt bluff]

How do i make a map like

[frail ice]

Oh, I have not tried it tho lol 😄

[ruby helm]

Me, and finlay are trying to figure that out. The guy that figured it out is gatekeeping it

[oak temple]

Nodes and trees were there prior to me adding that one command

[ruby helm]

Okay, and i'm telling you that it doesn't do that so there's an underlying issue

Especially if you're using the experimental commands, there could be something with those that's affecting that

[ruby helm]

Read this

[oak temple]

everything was there prior to adding just that one command

im editing and micro adjusting as i go to see whats going on

[ruby helm]

Again, you're using experimental commands.... there's gonna be some issues. That command itself does not remove nodes or trees

[oak temple]

oh i know, coding is my thing, im just trying to see if anyone else had encountered my issue

[frail ice]

World 2.0 will come out in upcoming months...so that will change stuff around also.

[oak temple]

it would help if we knew ** exactly ** what 1-9 did XD

[ruby helm]

Trying to figure that out. This is what weve discovered thus far

[oak temple]

as one of them has to have an influence on these spawns too

[ruby helm]

I don't have nearly the same amount of luck that he does doing this. It takes me a whole hour to wipe my server, takes him seven minutes

[oak temple]

the 20minute reboot time on servers is killer

[oak temple]

some suggest using rustedit.io with this stuff

[cobalt bluff]

Use a test server on nitrado 5 minute boot up time

[oak temple]

mines gportal

[cobalt bluff]

Gportal takes 15-20

[ruby helm]

Different versions of the game

[north sundial]

i used generation.centerfalloff to a map like this

currently using generation.centerfalloff 3500

the higher the number, the more weird the generation gets

[cobalt bluff]

Just that command?

[north sundial]

just add some numbers at the end of that command such as 3000 or something

[cobalt bluff]

I am giving it a shot thank you

[north sundial]

do kinda have to fully wipe the server do get it to work and a custom seed if you don’t already know

[oak temple]

I wonder if one of the 1-9 has an effect on "entities" like rocks and nodes

[ruby helm]

Ill try that out

[oak temple]

I can say for certain that 9 doesn't as I've so far tested that one

[ruby helm]

If I do remember correctly, there is a channel that does affect nodes at least from when I saw on a photo

[oak temple]

Yeah it's isolating that one and making it not affect terrain generation

[oak temple]

9 created a hill between snow and temperate

Well, created small hills towards the edge of each biome

[oak temple]

So far no luck on my end, how's yours going?

[atomic crypt]

[oak temple]

is there a way to directly influence node spawns?

[rancid whale]

gonna see if i can get an island map

[proper thicket]

there is not

sorry chief

[ruby helm]

Luke you gotta tell us what does the islands we are dying here

[oak temple]

It's weird as nodes seem to disappear when messing with these commands, I can't get them to spawn consistently with a flatter map, is there some kind of spawn logic surrounding the nodes?

[oak temple]

I agree with this notion 😂

It's just gone 10am and I've been up all night trying to figure all this out

[ruby helm]

Its a nightmare

[oak temple]

Like in hypers pic?

[ruby helm]

Yeah but there's ways to make it literally just patches of islands

@crystal prairie got it but wont share how

[oak temple]

generation.centerfalloff

Try this one with a random number after

[ruby helm]

https://tenor.com/view/im-on-it-gif-18392687

[oak temple]

Like 300 or something

[dusky steeple]

The game tries to spawn them near cliffs/sloped terrain I think so flatter maps will have less nodes

[proper thicket]

they're sort of base on slopes, but there are other factors

[oak temple]

It should totally be a population command like deer and boats

[dusky steeple]

Any factors people can increase? Even with flat maps

[proper thicket]

unfortunately not yet

[wintry lion]

Anyone want to learn and copy my presets let me know?

[ruby helm]

What are yours

[wintry lion]

I don’t know the exact values for everyone of those but I know how to get them

[wintry lion]

Dm me

It appears monuments can’t spawn on islands, apart from harbours, lighthouses

[proper thicket]

these are neat! id also like to know how you did them 😄

[wintry lion]

The islands are mainly all amplitudes at 0, tweaking the center fall off and ocean level

The ones with lots of lakes that are popular, are using the default rust commands also tweaking the ocean level and fall offs

I host rust console global warfare and looking to have an island warfare map but it seems to not spawn enough monuments 😀

Been spending the last 5 hours going through different commands

[proper thicket]

the islands have to big enough

[wintry lion]

I don’t believe that’s the reason, I believe the centre/main island is only capable of spawning regular monuments

If you look through the images only the center island spawns monuments despite others being “big”. Also with the less island maps, it’s still the same theory

[pure oak]

Makes sense, maps in the past in officials have had big islands and no monuments have spawned in them. Only the main island.

[ruby helm]

Which channels shoukd i be tweaking for this?

[wintry lion]

To get a fully island map I’ve zero a lot of the amplitudes

[ruby helm]

So through all channels yeah?

[wintry lion]

And used ocean levels and center fall off

[wintry lion]

I didn’t zero everything only

The 0 channel seems to be the most important

[ruby helm]

I know I mean through all the channels, for the amplitude section you put 0? Or just channel 0 really

[wintry lion]

Noise param 0 amplitude 0

[ruby helm]

@slim belfry this is big news

[ruby helm]

Wdym used ocean levels

To my knowledge right, they can only get higher, not lower

[wintry lion]

The ocean level wrap

[ruby helm]

Huh

[warm sierra]

So I've made a completely flat map with all monuments but I keep spawning underneath the map. Does anyone know which command it is to raise whatever needs to be raised to make sure that you spawn on the land?

[slim belfry]

You need a beach on the map

[slim belfry]

Try Channel 2 at 0.1 on frequency, amp and octaves at 1

[warm sierra]

Thank you I will give that a try

[wintry lion]

I’m trying to aim for a map that has lots of water but isn’t island, cause islands don’t spawn with monuments

Just got this one. I just don’t understand why it’s so small, there’s 4-5 grids empty on each side

@slim belfry is there a command affecting this? I use everyone of the defaults but I slightly tweaked them

[dusky steeple]

try decreasing the borderpadding/fallof

[wintry lion]

Just got this banger of a map

[oak temple]

That one actually looks sick

[oak temple]

Mind sharing the commands you used to generate that one?

[slim belfry]

Just checking did that work?

[warm sierra]

I haven't been able to check yet. I'm at work

[slim belfry]

I see

[crystal prairie]

?

[slim belfry]

He just asking for the configs for the map you made.

[ruby helm]

Omg wrong guy whoops

I meant @zealous cedar

[slim belfry]

Nvm mind

[wheat ginkgo]

How do I save it I have typed in the commands an saved but my map is still normal

[slim belfry]

Is it in the boot commands section and did you do a full clean wipe?

[wheat ginkgo]

No I did it in console log and yh

[slim belfry]

The commands must be in the boot commands section

[slim belfry]

The islands are 100% bugged, monuments will only spawn on the island closest to 0,0,0 apart from water based monuments like lighthouse or harbor. Below are some picture

Also here another bug where the game will infinity repeat invisible land with visible grass if a rock prefab spawns outside the numbered grids, also adds a straight line of land on the ui map

[upbeat birch]

@slim belfry can I get the seed?

[slim belfry]

You mean the commands?

[upbeat birch]

It’s a command

[slim belfry]

Yeah, a seed alone can not do that

[upbeat birch]

Then, yes, please

[slim belfry]

generation.centerfalloff 35000 that makes the monuments only spawn on 1 island (the one in the middle) generation.centerfalloff 5000 this is the one you'll probably want as monuments can spawn on any island but they're technically not islands.

[upbeat birch]

Is that all the commands I need @slim belfry

[slim belfry]

Yeah only that one for the islands map

[upbeat birch]

Are you sure that’s it? It’s not working do I have to wipe server?

@slim belfry

[slim belfry]

You can either do a full wipe or change seed

[slim belfry]

Also the command HAS to be in the boot commands

[slim belfry]

I definitely gave the wrong values I think, should be fixed now.

[zealous cedar]

From my perspective, I didn’t see anyone else doing this. I spent two full days, morning to night, running two separate test servers — constantly bringing them up and down, tweaking settings, and observing every detail. I had to delete and rebuild the servers no less than 20 times. It was painful to say the least, but I finally got everything exactly how I wanted it.
If I shared those values, the maps wouldn’t really be custom anymore — everyone would end up running the same setup. That would defeat the whole purpose of the time and effort I put into making something unique.

[slim belfry]

Fair enough, but we only really only wanted the commands you were using to make the islands which we have now.

[ruby helm]

[calm robin]

How does 1 do this?

[calm robin]

nvm

[slate rapids]

@latent ivy

[wintry lion]

Best map I generated, I mean there’s literally a mountain with a river running down it 🔥

[dusky steeple]

😂

[wintry lion]

That’s chopped 😭

[slim belfry]

Best River of all time

[wintry lion]

Watch the end of my video

Coolest terrain thing I’ve ever seen

[slim belfry]

Only 12 hours to make a 10/10 map, just imagine what longer will get you.

[wintry lion]

Worst part about it was my ps5 kept overheating

Could barely load in and had to get other people to😭

[slim belfry]

At least your server isn't going down for 24 hours every 2 seconds and this is the support g portal gives

I just wanna makes maps man

[wintry lion]

Nitrado….

I mean it can be annoying but have never had a single issue with the server crashing even at 100 pop

Only bad thing about it can be the monument spawning

[slim belfry]

Idk it's Just a pain

[wintry lion]

Nitrado?

[slim belfry]

I'm deffo gonna switch to them once this has run out

Nvm I misread

[wintry lion]

Yeah it’s definitely the better one, think G portal is just easier to use, but Nitrado more secure

I use Nitrado

[slim belfry]

I've only heard good things about them tbh

[gaunt kayak]

Soo what did the update add I can't tell

[ruby helm]

Nothing

[gaunt kayak]

Actually

[ruby helm]

There wasn't an update. I don't know what you're talking about.

[gaunt kayak]

I swear I saw a tiktok saying there's an update today

[ruby helm]

Never believe anything on tiktok, especially if it comes from CNQR

[wintry lion]

lol he doesn’t he like the game, he’s just doing it for money and fame

[ruby helm]

He ban evades

[oak temple]

Check out this crazy map cake I made 😂😂

[ruby helm]

Beautiful

[zealous cedar]

Is it a test server?

[slim belfry]

Huh? I only use it for testing if that's what you mean

[zealous cedar]

Yeah, in that case may be worth deleting it and open a new one?

[slim belfry]

Yeah that's what support said they're gonna do, just waiting for them to do it.

[zealous cedar]

You with gportal?

[slim belfry]

Yeah

[zealous cedar]

You can delete it yourself if you go onto my servers and click the trash can on that server, your refunded time is then available instantly for you to open a new server

[slim belfry]

The more you know, anyway they've just done it

[zealous cedar]

Nice, you'll probably be good now if not atleast you aint got to wait for gportal

[warm sierra]

This is one of my maps I've came up with. Took me quite a few attempts to get it stable.. but it is huge and completely flat

It spawns no matter the seed. I've tried it 15 times and all 15 times it worked perfectly

[dusky steeple]

Those slight beaches on the edges are very nice.
i'm guessing you've utilized the borderfalloff/padding commands?
what values/commands did you use to generate this map?

just wondering are they actually beaches?

[slim belfry]

I'm gonna guess not considering they died at 0,0,0 probably after loading into the server

I'm guessing you want beach spawns for your building server

[vivid kiln]

Does this all work on console?

[dusky steeple]

i meant to ask if the edge of the map was a beach that you could spawn on....

[slim belfry]

Yeah and that's what I was on about

[slim belfry]

Yeah, everything here works on console.

[dusky steeple]

true, just looks really skinny lol

[vivid kiln]

And I can add monuments to these maps

[dusky steeple]

yup
thin enough and close to border like that map

[slim belfry]

Yeah but you can't chose where they spawn at least not easily

[vivid kiln]

Is there any site that I can look at to help me with this

I don’t wanna mess my server up if I edit these settings

[slim belfry]

I remember having a command which added a beach to a flat map, I'll send it here once I get back assuming it works

[slim belfry]

This thread is the only documented place of the commands (untill luke updates the gitbook) so ask questions here.

[vivid kiln]

Okay

[dusky steeple]

thanks, i my self havent had time to test most of these commands lol
kinda just found the flat map and shared the commands lol

[vivid kiln]

What commands to make my build server completely flat

[dusky steeple]

generation.setheightnoiseparams 1 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 2 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 4 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 5 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 6 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 7 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 8 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 9 amplitude 0 

[vivid kiln]

And where do I add this too, the start up commands?

[dusky steeple]

boot commands yes
then wipe the server

[slim belfry]

Make sure to full wipe or change to a seed you haven't used yet

[vivid kiln]

Ok awesome

[slim belfry]

Yep, put them in there.

[vivid kiln]

Dope man I spent hours trying to find this

So donut map exist too?

[slim belfry]

Sort of, I've been trying to make it to the best of my ability and these 2 are the best so far

[vivid kiln]

For the flat map what size do I use and what seed

[slim belfry]

Any seed (just not one you've used before unless you have full wiped)and 3500 size

[vivid kiln]

Will this cause server lag if I add them to custom boot

[slim belfry]

No

[dusky steeple]

were these made with different seeds? or different commands each time?

[slim belfry]

Different seeds mainly but once I found something I liked i would tinker with the commands to make that map bigger/better

[vivid kiln]

Can I have a 3500 size map, good spots to build, broken up like islands but will keep all the main monuments

[dusky steeple]

Tomorrow i will get a Nitrado server and start doing map gen
could you send me the commands/values you've used to generate these maps
and maybe the commands you haven't tried yet?

[slim belfry]

Yeah it possible

[slim belfry]

Yeah sure

[slim belfry]

If you want islands chuck generation.centerfalloff 5000 into the boot commands aswell but that may need abit of tinkering with

[vivid kiln]

Can I see your sickest map build

[dusky steeple]

no rush btw im going to bed wont be on for a while
dms are fine if you want

[slim belfry]

I'll just send all mind but it's not many due to my server being down 24/7

Those are some of the best/ weirdest ones I've made

I definitely would have alot more if it weren't for g portal

[dusky steeple]

i would definitly reccomend nitrado for this lol
i am an avid gportal user but nitrado boots up in 5 minutes even on wipes

[slim belfry]

Yeah, if I get another it will deffo be with them

[vivid kiln]

Any legit maps for wipes

[slim belfry]

Only ones are the ones I've posted tbh because many keep theirs secret

[dusky steeple]

dm me i will see if i can give access to a nitrado server
i wouldnt mind funding your experiments

[vivid kiln]

Same

I’d pay for unique maps that spawn monuments

[warm sierra]

No I died falling out of no clip to make sure I wouldn't clip under the map.
I was in the center of the map so I can work out node spawns as they don't spawn anymore so I will be manually adding them

[slim belfry]

So you had a beach you could spawn on?

[warm sierra]

Yes you do spawn on the beaches either side of the map that was one thing I struggled to get right but after about 60 attempts I got it consistently working

[slim belfry]

Do you mind sharing the commands used to make the beach?

[warm sierra]

I messaged around with this one until I got it right

generation.setheightnoiseparams 2 frequency 0.5

The 3 maps I've made are just slightly different values in that command

[slim belfry]

It was the command i was thinking of neat

[vivid kiln]

Like working ones

[slim belfry]

Crazy

[warm sierra]

That's madness. Part of the fun is building something yourself lol makes things more unique

[pure oak]

rule 11.

[vivid kiln]

Yeah but building it myself I’ll some how end up blowing the server up, the other server owner will then have to spend time trying to fix where I messed up, players will cry about it

What’s rule 11

[pure oak]

this place is literally made cause users want to tell about their made maps

not gatekeep them

[slim belfry]

Well im going to be documenting all my finding here

#1460372116431044741 message these are some I've documented so far

[vivid kiln]

Then, someone please give me 10 custom maps that are unique, have flat builds and will spawn all the good monuments including bandit camp

Oh I have to read these rules, I don’t usually talk in here like that

[dusky steeple]

i reckon when we have tons more maps we should make posts in #1020496823279951953
so we can just link to those posts so people dont have to scroll up here...

[pure oak]

you've been given instructions how to do it yourself as well.
or go scroll up and find what others have made and ask them questions

[slim belfry]

Yeah definitely

[vivid kiln]

Jkjk don’t ban me plz

I scrolled up I couldn’t find any custom maps except for people asking questions about it

[slim belfry]

Yeah alot of people are keeping it secret sadly, best to experiment for yourself

[wintry lion]

This is by far the best I’ve generated, it has nearly ever monument, and a waterfall/river running down a mountain

[pure oak]

next time send this without the discord link ☺️

[wintry lion]

Ahhh thought I’d be able to sneak it in lol

[pure oak]

that waterfall is sick

[hard tulip]

Just stumbled across this thread but huge +1 for find. There are many commands that are undocumented and many that are documented that don't exist

[wintry lion]

Yeah literally loaded in like 100 maps

[wintry lion]

What’s it do?

[hard tulip]

Lists valid rcon commands lol

[slim belfry]

It finds commands

[wintry lion]

Where do you enter?

[hard tulip]

You'd use it via an rcon client in a bot, or in the console page on GPortal or Nitrado. But it doesn't work for RCE (does for pc tho)

[wintry lion]

Oh

[hard tulip]

Yeah, why tf is that?? GPortal boots are soo slow

[vivid kiln]

How can I use this map

@slim belfry you should make a map where it’s super flat except the middle it’s just a giant mountain

[slim belfry]

Yeah I'll give it a shot

[vivid kiln]

Or the entire map is just a giant mountain that goes upward

[limpid wadi]

Volcano map?

[smoky panther]

Any node spawn command to up the spawn rate of nodes?

[hard tulip]

You could maybe try using spawn.fill_populations in a scheduled command to regenerate them more often than usual

[zealous cedar]

@indigo whale

[hard tulip]

From the last devlog :

Something else we want to bring in 2026 is [...], along with a special partner program

Also is there any word on this community server partner program yet? Would love to have a comms channel to D11 for community server owners

[vivid kiln]

Ummm

The map is flat now but there’s rocks everywhere how do I remove all these rocks on my build server

[dusky steeple]

respawn_populations 0

generation.placecliffs 0

generation.placerockformations 0

[proper thicket]

yes, technically they are

[ruby helm]

I think he means the rock formations

Generation.placerockformations 0

[proper thicket]

im not sure what you mean

[slim belfry]

You guys said something about a top x amount list of community server or something like that, I think they are on about that.

[harsh fern]

I keep seeing people talk about lowering the sea level to get the islands and oasis coves how is that working?

[harsh fern]

Been working with it, seems if I can get the land to connect at all it will allow monument spawns

So gonna try and connect them all as one land mass with small land brides to allow every monument

Any suggestions?

[slim belfry]

Monuments will only spawn on the island closest to 0,0,0 for whatever reason so best to try to make it all one island like your doing

[pure oak]

Would be cool if monuments spawned on the islands other than the main.

like that dome there.

or quarrys going to further islands. without a road

feels like every time quarry needs to have road to even be on the map

[slim belfry]

Yeah would create much cooler map especially if you could manipulate the spawn of monuments to a certain degree

[pure oak]

cause that dome placement is SICK

[harsh fern]

Exactly if I can split all these monuments up like that dome it will be a 10/10 experience

Anyone reading this of ur using Gportal for a test server stop buy Nitrado rn u will cut ur times in 1/3

[native wagon]

@austere seal

[clever birch]

@wooden bridge

[fast bison]

How do I make donut map?

[wintry lion]

Yeah I want to host a island warfare for my server and it fits perfectly but it sucks this is a thing expect for lighthouses harbours and some random supermarkets

[wintry lion]

It genuinely amazes me how many people use G portal….

Had a small conversation with mclovin Caleb after his servers kept crashing today cause of G portal

He still believes G portal is better, despite his servers being unplayable

I’ve had 100 pop servers and they rarely crash and if they do, they’re back up within 5 minutes

I do run 0 bots on my servers so that could be a factor but still

[dusky steeple]

idk who it is but someone here has a server named
"Testing custom maps DONT JOIN"
1/1 pop sitting at the top of the server list lol - and its gportal serv

[quasi venture]

Think they did sometimes on old gen before shutdown

[wintry lion]

😭 rip to them

I’d spend the money just to save time

Also to save myself time cause my ps5 would overheat loading into an American server from Australia I would just look at the monument list from the server list

If it didn’t have launch or a good amount of other stuff I’d just simply forget it

[pure oak]

Yeah that was donut map.
1 dev made it but now we have ability to make custom maps

[quasi venture]

Okej will we have ability to make flying Islands sometime lol

[pure oak]

I got no idea.

[tepid violet]

If you have a full sized superflat map with no beaches you spawn under the map and die

How to fix this without a bot?

I’m not fussed with map being full size, so could I change generation.borderpadding ?

[harsh fern]

mess with input channel 2

likely frequency

[harsh fern]

yeah i could never and would never

[slim belfry]

generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 octaves 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 frequency 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 amplitude 0 generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 offset 0

generation.borderpadding -0.55
Put that in

Too many commands but I cba to clean it up

[harsh fern]

really only need the frequency then turn off cliffs n rock formatkions

[tepid violet]

ATM I’ve got this and haven’t seen any issues besides spawning under map due to borderpadding ig

Respawn_populations 0
generation.borderpadding -200
generation.placecliffs 0
generation.placerockformations 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 1 frequency 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 1 amplitude 0

generation.setheightnoiseparams 6 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 7 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 8 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 9 amplitude 0

[harsh fern]

Set both #2 to 0.5

[tepid violet]

Need to test border padding more cause -200 is max map but so is -50, then 0 is normal idk

[slim belfry]

Border padding should be -0.55

[harsh fern]

Got this lastnight

[tepid violet]

Is that just smaller than max map? Why exactly .55

[slim belfry]

Because then the spawns on the flat map are only on the corners keeping the size

[harsh fern]

Btw fin mess around with channel two you can get some crazy cove inside of the weird elevated terrain if someone can figure out how to fill in the bump terrain

[tepid violet]

Okay I’ll try #2 to 0.5 and borderpadding to -0.55

Thanks guys

Same boots u use js a different seed

[stoic leaf]

How can I make it not square

generation.setheightnoisepar

[slim belfry]

Border padding is the cause get rid of it

[stoic leaf]

What does it do?

[slim belfry]

Also with your center falloff that high monuments will only spawn on the island closer to 0,0,0 which is not good

Put that around 4000 maybe a bit lower

[slim belfry]

It just pushes the map to its border making it a square

[stoic leaf]

Oh I see thanks I’m just looking for a slightly flatter map so more places to build and then I want lakes and more rivers

[slim belfry]

There a command to add more river and if you want a flatter map just lower all the octaves by 1 or 2 if possible, that should do the job

[stoic leaf]

Do you know the river command?

[slim belfry]

Your octaves are quite high tbf so lower it more than that

[slim belfry]

Server.maxrivers 15
Server.minriverdist 100

[stoic leaf]

what’s the distance how far they can be from each other?

[slim belfry]

Ngl I don't remember, best to experiment

[stoic leaf]

alrighty thank you so much

[slim belfry]

Np

[stoic leaf]

Are my nodes not spawning because of no rocks?

[slim belfry]

Nodes should still be spawning

[stoic leaf]

Only near rivers not a single one anywhere else not fully flat

[slim belfry]

Did you change it to a fully flat map?

Nodes are dependent on slopes, like they will only try to spawn on slopes/near them, also they will try to spawn near rock formations but you have them turned off so.

[stoic leaf]

I have no rocks or cliffs but I still have hills and stuff I’ll put rocks back and see if it changes it

[slim belfry]

They should still be spawning then I would think

[stoic leaf]

that’s what I would assume but they’re not so idk the issue

[slim belfry]

Looking back people seem to also have the issue with nodes not spawning in when rocks/cliffs are turned off so that's probably the cause

[hard tulip]

Does the rivers one even work? I feel like I tried it in the past to make more rivers and still ended up with like only 2

[grim jacinth]

It works. I got way more rivers with it

[grim jacinth]

Try like Max 15 and then distance between 70-100 if you make more or closer then it will make some rivers that cross each other. In average the setting avove gives around 7-10 rivers

[hard tulip]

Nice will try that. Thanks

[grim jacinth]

Your welcome. Put them first in your boot commands then make a wipe and it works.

[harsh fern]

Could you dm me

[proper thicket]

im liking the information exchange over here, good stuff guys

[slim belfry]

@pallid palm just gonna move the conversation in here real quick but they disable rock/cliffs and other ones add more rivers

[pallid palm]

yh

ooh i get rid of the rocks that just randomly stick out

[thick fractal]

Ik this is somewhat hard as doing different commands results in different stuff but can we get atleast definitions and defaults over onto the wiki for commands?

[slim belfry]

Yeah if you want to do that use the generation.placerockformations 0

[pallid palm]

okay so

wait i cant send it can we dm

[slim belfry]

Sure

[vivid kiln]

I tried the flat map but I have all rocks everywhere, how can I fix this?

[slim belfry]

generation.placerockformations 0

[vivid kiln]

If I add that in boot up command, will it reset my entire server like a wipe

[slim belfry]

Not until you manually wipe it

[vivid kiln]

Ok so the rocks won’t disappear until I wipe it

[slim belfry]

Yeah but it gotta be a full wipe for that

[vivid kiln]

how do I do a full wipe

I can’t just change the map and seed for the settings to work

[slim belfry]

Yeah changing the seed to one you've not used before works aswell

[vivid kiln]

Ok

[proper thicket]

dont worry im working on it 😄

[vivid kiln]

Would be dope if it where possible to divide 4 of the biomes with rivers. So basically normal map but divided into 4 islands for each biome

[slim belfry]

Tbh there's probably a seed out there that does that just gotta find it

[proper thicket]

theres a huge, huge number of possible maps

[slim belfry]

I'm currently trying to find a combination that make a perfect circle but it's a pain

[proper thicket]

theres at least 2,147,484,000

multiply that by your noise gen

bigly numbers

[slim belfry]

So a number which breaks calculators neat

[faint violet]

Just give us noobs a simple map editor please 🥺

[slim belfry]

People can't be trusted sadly, even with just vending machines

[proper thicket]

yeah you gotta think about people who would use it for evil yknow?

[faint violet]

They will find a way with all these crazy boot commands eventually.

Also people doing bad, it'll be easier for D11 to take their whole server down.

We lost vendy renaming, we won't get signs, can't have a simple map editor, us good guys suffering due to a few nutjobs 😢

Please start catering to the good guys rather than banning everything because of the bad guys 🙏

[hard tulip]

Ya'll should really consider making the wiki open source so people can contribute. Me personally I would at least be willing to update/improve docs on commands, as I have quite a lot of xp (bad and good) with rcon commands after building a bot from the ground up lol

[hard tulip]

Evil as in exploiting the game or evil confined to their server? The former I get but the latter is a bad reason to not let the good people be free imo

[proper thicket]

community commits to the wiki would require verification and vetting first, not a bad idea though i might raise that 🤔

[proper thicket]

its not up to us unfortunately, its more a platform thing

[hard tulip]

check out https://github.com/cla-assistant/cla-assistant for a pretty solid bot that guides contributors through signing an agreement on pull requests

[hard tulip]

I also feel like we're missing a place on Discord for these kinds of convos. Would be great to have a place for community server owners to share their experiences and help eachother

[lethal narwhal]

Hey. Can someone please explain some of this to me as if I’m completely new. 😅 I’m not but this all looks fun and confusing af 🤭Would love to try and make a cool map but wouldn’t know where to start.

Cheers folks.

[harsh fern]

So I’m

Trying to get my Gportal maps to work and they don’t take the same commands as nitrado I guess bc my set list works for every map through nitrado but Gportal j doesn’t change?

[slim belfry]

Both providers use the same commands

[harsh fern]

Well I cannot get Gportal to make oasis

Nitrado does this w j centerfalloff Gportal won’t

[slim belfry]

Gportal does do that

[harsh fern]

I’ve put it in 10x full wiped every time

[slim belfry]

Spelling mistake maybe?

[harsh fern]

Respawn_populations 1
generation.centerfalloff 5750
Server.maxrivers 15
Server.minriverdist 250
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 frequency 0.3

copy n pasted from nitrado

Changed to 5 seed full wipes 10x it won’t change anything tbh

[slim belfry]

Do you have a map preset on g portal?

[harsh fern]

Yeah I have one as a preset that’s how I generated them on nitrado was preset

Saying I should try turn off the preset type in seed and try that?

[slim belfry]

Yeah

[harsh fern]

Bet gimme 10 I’ll try it

Think ima wipe w boots dead empty next and try and do that w no preset

Then put in center fall off see if that will do anything 5000 normal does good but it’s dead not changing a thing

[harsh fern]

You r a legend noted Gportal can’t use presets

[slim belfry]

Np

[slim belfry]

Use this #1460372116431044741 message not super up to date but has all the main things

[opaque mango]

Would be amazing on gportal, you select your seed (it shows you the terrain of the map in a window on the screen somewhere) and when you enable a monument you want on your map (like launch) it then shows on your map terrain (but selected and highlighted) which you can then drag it around the terrain where you would want to place it. Then you can select one by one which monuments and where you want them. Obviously once you put other monuments there will be a certain distance where you couldn’t put two side by side it shouldn’t allow that.. but that’s the idea.

[hard tulip]

yeah the ability to generate map previews based on settings would be amazing (even if it took a couple minutes to generate, better than waiting for the server to start and load in).

would also be very useful for server lists and community server previews on discord, etc.

[opaque mango]

@hard tulip yes the map terrain previews. Then the ability to drag and drop the monuments in the preview where you want them on the map.

[vivid kiln]

Please give me the settings for this map please

[proper thicket]

oh thats a cool one!

[harsh fern]

Lukeeee

Can u tell me how to spawn in bandit camp shops ive seen 3 diff ppl on TikTok w it cant find the id for it or how tf did they do it? Custom code??

[proper thicket]

what do you mean "bandit camp shops", can you show me?

[pallid palm]

yo you should make a fire map again like the donut one you did and show us

[harsh fern]

Like yk the drone shop you can purchase from bandit or players shops with? They have that spawned at fishing village

[proper thicket]

i have some concepts but theyre top secret

[harsh fern]

Dm me them please😭🖤

[proper thicket]

got alink to the tt?

[pallid palm]

come onnn just a lil sneak peak

[proper thicket]

noooope

[pallid palm]

1 map sneak peak and i wont leak it

[proper thicket]

nah nah nah lets get back on topic

[harsh fern]

Gimme a few igu

[harsh fern]

I’m searching for it again, idrk how long it’s gonna take but I’ll link it when I do but it’s considered the “marketplace” the drone shops at bandit

Someone have 4 of them one at bandit on at outpost one small fishing one large fishing, idrk how they got the id or any idea how to replicate it unless it’s custom code but atp couldn’t you j copy any item in the game n recode it so i got sum questions for you outside of this chat dm me please😭

[proper thicket]

DMs are a no go chief

[slim belfry]

Just spawn it like any other entity, name is "marketplace"

[harsh fern]

You’re a giga chad atp🖤😭

[slim belfry]

Luke that's how it done

[harsh fern]

Maybe homie spelled it wrong he said he tried it wouldn’t spawn it

[slim belfry]

Probably

[untold ether]

Thanks for helping out @slim belfry. Have 300 Extra Scrap!

[foggy hollow]

Ynhhhggfgbjk

[harsh fern]

Another question anyone know how to do the custom signs? We still using piping or have we had anything added we can do it cleaner w?

Can we upload images like pc can what’s good w that

[slim belfry]

Not possible, only way is via wiring, piping, or the hose tool

What each channel does (some may be a tad incorrect)

Channel 0 - makes the basic land mass
Frequency - how many land masses spawn
Amplitude - how thick the land masses are
(Lower the number the thicker they are)
Offset -just raises the land so that less of it is in the water essentially (minus makes the map more out the water.
See attached pictures for more info

Channel 1 - add small hills
Frequency - how many there are
Amplitude - how tall they are (unfinished will update later)

Channel 2 - defines the terrain e.g. makes it smoother, more round and less bumpy or more depending on what you want
Frequency - how many bumps ans dips there are across the map
Amplitude - how large or small the bumps are (the bumps will not all be the same size some may be much bigger then other's)

Channel 3 - desert mountains (layer 1)
Frequency - how many there are
Amplitude - how small/tall they are
Amplitude 0.1 is 87.5 meter in game

Channel 4 - desert mountains (layer 2)
Frequency - how many there are
Amplitude - how small/tall they are
Amplitude 0.1 is 70 meters in game

Channel 5 - snow mountains( layer 1)
Frequency - how many spawn
Amplitude - how tall it is
Amplitude 0.1 is 175 meter in game

Channel 6 -snow mountains (layer 2)
Frequency - how many there are
Amplitude - how small/tall they are
Amplitude 0.1 is 100 meter in game

Channel 7 - grass mountains (layer 1)
Frequency - how many there are
Amplitude - how small/tall they are
Amplitude 0.1 is 60 meter in game

Channel 8 - grass mountains (layer 2)
Frequency - how many there are
Amplitude - how small/tall they are
Amplitude 0.1 is 107.5 meter in game

Channel 9 - spawns mountains all over the map except from tier 0 areas (layer 0.5)
Frequency - how many there are
Amplitude - how small/tall they are
Amplitude 0.1 is 40 meter in game

(Btw these values were tested on octaves set at 8)

[pallid palm]

yo check dms

[slim belfry]

Horse shoe map:
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 octaves 1
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 frequency 0.4
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 amplitude 8
generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 octaves 1 generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 frequency 1 generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 amplitude 8
Must be seed 39 also if you want launch on the map try removing a monument e.g. I removed train yard and launch site spawned in it's position instead

[lean surge]

@vivid kiln Im gonna start messing with this feature So Id be down to get some help to try some crazy shit 😅

[lean surge]

Didn't mess with too much for my first try but.. I dont think it came out too bad

[slim belfry]

Looking for anything in particular or just messing around at the moment?

[lean surge]

Mostly just messing with the commads trying to figure things out some how made an Oasis in the desert.

[vivid kiln]

@slim belfry I’m trying to add a bit of flatness to my map, nothing crazy, and remove the rocks. What’s the commands for that

Well remove some rocks

[slim belfry]

generation.placerockformations 0
And if you want the map to be flatter try lowing the octaves by a few

[vivid kiln]

Can you give me exact command

[slim belfry]

generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 octaves 6
generation.setheightnoiseparams 1 octaves 2
generation.setheightnoiseparams 2 octaves 2
generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 octaves 3
generation.setheightnoiseparams 4 octaves 3
generation.setheightnoiseparams 5 octaves 2
generation.setheightnoiseparams 6 octaves 1
generation.setheightnoiseparams 7 octaves 1
generation.setheightnoiseparams 8 octaves 1
generation.setheightnoiseparams 9 octaves 1
I don't remember how flat this is but you can have a look

[proper thicket]

nice! that one looks very crispy

[vivid kiln]

I just want one that’s somewhat flatter

[slim belfry]

Those commands should do

[vivid kiln]

Thats a lot for just some flat

[slim belfry]

Yeah

[vivid kiln]

I wish there was an app that lets you create a map and see it in real time

So I put all those commands in boot up?

[slim belfry]

Yeah give it a shot

[vivid kiln]

This will keep the maps shape

[slim belfry]

Probably not give me a sec

[vivid kiln]

Trying to keep this shape but flatter terrain

[slim belfry]

I've just edited the commands above so now copy those

[vivid kiln]

Ok

[slim belfry]

Btw are you using the preset or typing the seed in?

[vivid kiln]

Preset

Can you do it with presets?

[slim belfry]

On g portal using a preset won't allow the generation commands to take affect so just type the seed in

[vivid kiln]

I can find this Gportal seed?

[slim belfry]

It at the top left of your pic 10358

[vivid kiln]

Ooo okay

[lean surge]

Thanks, ended up getting an early release for Oasis 😉

[weary field]

What's the line of commands for this map

@harsh fern

[glass condor]

Is there a way to fix spawning under the map?

[slim belfry]

generation.borderpadding -0.55 put that in boot

[glass condor]

Thanks

[queen veldt]

Can anyone help me get this exact map setup? Im using g portal

[glass condor]

How can I do a buikd server ive been trying but cant quite figure it out total flat map no monuments

[slim belfry]

generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 1 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 2 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 4 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 5 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 6 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 7 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 8 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 9 amplitude 0
Generation.placerockformations 0
And turn off monuments

[slim belfry]

generation.centerfalloff 8500
Put in boot and full wipe

[queen veldt]

So i put in same map size seed and do what you just told me then full wipe not save wipe

[slim belfry]

Yeah, you may have to play with the number a bit in order to get the exact same map

[queen veldt]

So like add or subtract that number ?

[glass condor]

Is there a way to fix spawning under a map ive been trying g this commands generation.borderpadding -0.55 an I still spawn under the map I appreciate your patience

[slim belfry]

Either

[slim belfry]

Try lowering the number to -0.4

[queen veldt]

Do i need to wipe every time I change the number

[glass condor]

Ok so I did it an fist time spawn in i spanwed on top of the map but when I died I spawned under again

I respawn i respawn y:-9.00

[slim belfry]

Yes full wipe

[slim belfry]

Weird it worked for me, keep Lowering the number

[glass condor]

Do i need to wipe or just server restart every time?

[slim belfry]

Full wipe

[glass condor]

Ok ill work woth that an try to get it working. How would I get rid of trees and rocks?

[slim belfry]

Try Respawn_populations 0

That also has to go in boot commands along with a full wipe

[glass condor]

Ok ill try it

Gonna try a different seed because I cant for the life of me fix spawning issue

Ok the trees an nodes are gone but I still have rocky masses

[slim belfry]

Generation.placerockformations 0

[autumn pecan]

Gonna have to come up with a bot to spawn your nodes for ya or manually respawn then

[untold ether]

👋 Welcome to the discord, sorry if I've ever killed you!

[queen veldt]

Your an absolute rust god thanks so much its the exact map !!

Only issue i noticed is I selected all the water wells not to be in the map and military tunnel, the rest were selected to be in the map which all were except outpost 🤔

[queen veldt]

I just realized there's no outpost on this map aswell

[merry cedar]

how to make a map in this style

i just want more flat beaches inland like this pic and islands basically

[charred cloak]

Starting to get some real nice mountains

[dusky steeple]

thats sick

[autumn spruce]

@wintry lion Yo. Do you have commands for a cool map like this one?

[charred cloak]

Cheers man 🙂 it's got a load of deep canyons that have deep rivers running through them, as well as canyon sections that have lakes and little flooded areas.

When I'm finding time to, I've been testing each command and documenting what they seem to do. Once I'm done with my research and happy I understand it all, I'll probably release it with examples and what not, for everybody to see.

I also believe I'm quite close to being able to make a variation of the donut map 😁

[autumn spruce]

Do you know commands for a map like this one? #1460372116431044741 message

[charred cloak]

If I remember correctly, you want to increase generation.centerpadding

[slim belfry]

I've already documented all the commands so if you want you could check yours against mine and see if any of us are wrong on any. #1460372116431044741 message

[proper thicket]

borderline name change required chief

[amber oak]

😂😂👌

What the default value for Center padding is it 1 or 0.1

[charred cloak]

0.1

[amber oak]

Crazy that you can do all this just annoying how long the servers take to restart other than that having fun with it

[slim belfry]

I'm guessing your with g portal?

If you want it to be a bit faster you can turn off all the monuments and turn off any spawning of rowboats, bears ect that tends to help

[amber oak]

Yeah is it better with Nitrado?

[autumn spruce]

Anyone know commands for a map like this one?

[amber oak]

I’m trying to get a similar one now but it’s basically just generation.centerpadding

[slim belfry]

Yes

[slim belfry]

Yeah just generation.centerfalloff 7000 or somewhere around there

[runic canopy]

@slim belfry would you be interested in helping make up a custom map for me? I'm not good with computer stuff. My server is on gportal

[median blaze]

I’d recommend deleting that and check the rules again especially rule 11

[runic canopy]

I didnt read any rules so thats my bad.

[median blaze]

Yeah I’d recommend you do to make sure you don’t catch a mute or even worse a ban if you break any of them

[runic canopy]

I check it out and saw how i didnt follow that rule very well lol. Thanks for the heads up.

[median blaze]

Course just thought I’d let you know

You may still get mute but at least you know for future

[runic canopy]

Well I deleted it so should be fine lol

[median blaze]

Yeah should be

[runic canopy]

I'm interested in seeing how you got this exact map set up. Monument location isnt a big deal but the layout itself is crisp

[slim belfry]

Sure just tell me what type of map you looking for.

[runic canopy]

Can you DM me?

[slim belfry]

K

[harsh fern]

Good definition for sure not holes? I was getting almost caves in the side of these mountains but u can’t build in them

[carmine root]

G'day guys, is there any way to stop decay on certain buildings on a map? Can zones be used in some way? I want some builds to remain an entire wipe on a custom build server (decay is turned on so player builds decay and don't fill the map)

[proper thicket]

you can set up zones around those buildings

[carmine root]

And is there a zone decay?

[runic canopy]

You can also put god stacks in them so they can have 100+ days of upkeep

[carmine root]

I think my stack size is limited by server settings, ive tried to move quickly big stack and it seems limited, or am I doing something wrong

[runic canopy]

So if you have a god stacks of stone in your inventory, and you want to move it to the tc, put a stack of wood metal frags ect in tc, then take the stack in tc and swap it with the god stacks. It'll move god stack into tc. Same rules apply for boxes ect. But if you try to swap the god stack with the wood in tc, itll only move one regular stack. You have to take the other item and swap with god stack.

[carmine root]

Ok cheers that should do the job then, thanks heaps

[elfin kayak]

Looking forward to it. Been coming back to this post just for that. Great work!

[vivid kiln]

@slim belfry when I use your custom map settings to make my map flatter yet seem more natural. All the ores disappeared and only stayed on shoreline, is there a fix to that

[slim belfry]

Not really, just gotta spawn them manually

[vivid kiln]

That’s a lot of nodes to spawn in manually

Each node I have to spawn in

[surreal flax]

you can lower the cliff angle and allowed to spawn and nodes should spawn easier

[rough wadi]

Where do I put this? On boot commands?

[slim belfry]

Yeah, make sure to full wipe or change to a seed you've not used before.

[rough wadi]

Okay thank you

[thick fractal]

how do i get a completely flat normal map where its not a square?

[bronze anvil]

Anyone have any good maps saved ?

[slim belfry]

What do you define as a good map?

[oblique dock]

With many big spots

For clan server

[little cobalt]

.

[austere seal]

i have a few dm me

[autumn spruce]

Can u send em to me to🥺

[dawn siren]

How do u make it fully flat?

[charred cloak]

Just got back to playing around again and got a few nice little canyons. Even go Dome spawning on a mountain

[versed kettle]

so i copy pasted this into my server on gportal and it did nothing to the map, i even tried changing the last 0 to different numbers in boot commands

[dusky steeple]

send a screenshot of how its entered

[versed kettle]

I’ll try wipe it, I’ve only been restarting it.

I’ll have to show you once it restarts again

Takes a bit of time as I’m
Australia

[frail ice]

Looking sick 🔥

[versed kettle]

Isn’t gonna work cause it won’t even start my server

[dusky steeple]

they need to be

generation.setheightnoiseparams 1 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 2 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 4 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 5 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 6 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 7 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 8 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 9 amplitude 0

[versed kettle]

Oh I got it around the wrong way

[dusky steeple]

for all the layers from 0-9 you set there amplitude to 0

[versed kettle]

Copy I’ll try that

[versed kettle]

So what will that do to the server?

[dusky steeple]

it will make a flat map
i'll find an image

[versed kettle]

So then I just change those numbers

But not the 0

[dusky steeple]

just delete the generation commands you have and paste in this

generation.setheightnoiseparams 1 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 2 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 4 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 5 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 6 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 7 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 8 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 9 amplitude 0

should look something like this

[versed kettle]

Ok

I’ll try that and I’ll get back to you

[versed kettle]

Yea I tried that wouldn’t load my server up, kept failing

I’ll just stick to normal maps.
Only wanted the different map to get better pop

[proper thicket]

i mean arguably you just need octaves 0 for each channel

[austere seal]

Has anyone found a way to get rid of the power lines? I’ve been able to get some really good maps the only problem is most of the build spots has power lines that either block or limit building larger bases

[versed kettle]

So after putting the commands in and removing the commands my server fails to start or let me connect. So now it’s a gportal issue.. hah great…

[versed kettle]

Well I got this one but tried to make another and I’m back to the old maps again and can’t get to make a unique map again hah

[alpine badger]

Anybody know how to get the map to look like this?

[slim belfry]

generation.borderpadding -0.1
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 1 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 2 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 3 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 4 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 5 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 6 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 7 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 8 amplitude 0
generation.setheightnoiseparams 9 amplitude 0

Try that, won't be exactly the same

[alpine badger]

how can i select different land monuments, because it wont let me pick the ones i want

[slim belfry]

You g portal or nitrado

[alpine badger]

nitrado

[slim belfry]

Turn off the server and then full wipe once you've selected what you want, this is where you select them.

[charred cloak]

Here's a crudely drawn visual guide for everyone about the heightnoiseparams ....well the basis for them anyway and im probably butchering it. But, it helped me understand it picturing it as a waveform, so hopefully it'll help others.

Amplitude - This is the height of the waveform from the bottom of the wave to the top of it. In this image, the bottom is the 0 point on the x-axis and the amplitude creates the height from this point to the peak of the wave.

Frequency - This is the number of waves generated. 1 peak up and 1 peak down is 1 is a singular frequency, in the image there are two sets making a frequency of 2.

Offset - This is essentially moving your starting point for the wave. Minus numbers shift the wave below the x-axis and positive numbers move the starting point of the wave above it. This can be used to create more or less height.

Octaves - These kind of act like multipliers for the frequency. For example, if you have a singular frequency but an octave of 2 you will get a frequency of 2. Or, if you have a octave of 3 you'll have a frequency of 4. Calculation is NewFreq = freq * octave^2.

Please feel free to correct me on my poor explanation, drawings and if i got anything wrong

[frail ice]

That's some PRO Paint stuff W

Love it

[charred cloak]

I think my lack of sleep started to really show during the octaves drawing 😅 i have no idea why I thought it would be a great idea to do it on my phone lol

[twilit reef]

I like this visual, it'll definitely be a help to others! 💪
This is pretty much what I've gathered:

Amplitude - How strong the layer affects terrain height.

• Change mountain height and valley depth
• Change vertical intensity

Frequency - How stretched or compressed the terrain affects are.

• Changes size of hills/mountains
• Changes distance between elevation changes

Octaves - Amount of layer detail stacked within that layer

• Change terrain detail complexity
• Change surface roughness/smoothness

Offset - Vertical shift of that layer

• Raise or lower terrain contribution before combining layers

Layer 0 = Base landmass shape
Layer 1 = Major hills/mountains
Layer 2 = Medium hills
Layer 3-5 = Smaller elevation variations
Layer 6-9 = Fine terrain detail / surface roughness

[buoyant cloud]

no offence but this is AI generated.

Nobody would add bullet points

[frail ice]

Even it is, AI makes youre life easy

I use it every day Why Do I type all this, if I can copy paste

Main thing is understanding it

[buoyant cloud]

maybe so but it just looks incorrect

might just be me

[frail ice]

Jtrott is the main guy that dose map generations.
That's his passion. So I doubt its AI generated.
He owns the biggest Rust help discord server out there. (commands ect)

[buoyant cloud]

idk man I doubt he wanted to add bullet points, punctuation etc

[frail ice]

AI dose not give you punctions like this, this is just discord formatting-

• 1
• 2

They use images.
That's his saved explanation probably.

I keep many commands, and explanations how things work in my own private discord, for fast grab when its needed.

That's how people work who help community.
We pre save stuff, so when its needed we can just copy paste, and we have something to check upon to if we forget how it works.

[buoyant cloud]

Idk man.

Seems pretty ai generated to me

[twilit reef]

I copy pasted it from my discord lol

[buoyant cloud]

Ok lol

[charred cloak]

Tbh I would have added bullet points to my post, I just don't know how to in discord.

What's wrong with punctuation?

[twilit reef]

🤷‍♂️

[buoyant cloud]

I rest my case.

It just seemed ai generated

[slim belfry]

Layers 3 - 9 are just mountains essentially not fine terrain details

[twilit reef]

Some of the info was. I didn't really understand the offset but the description I got seemed pretty correct from testing

[charred cloak]

Wait?! You have a channel for this?!

[twilit reef]

Still brushing up on some descriptions and making sure they're correct as you can see lol. I don't want to post it with wrong info

[charred cloak]

Fair enough lol

Just dm'd you btw with a link about octaves

[twilit reef]

3-5 seemed to be all the like rolling hills (small-medium) and 6-9 seemed to just be the really small hills from what I was testing. I started flat and tried seeing what each command did lol. I could 100% be wrong though

[slim belfry]

#1460372116431044741 message

This was my understanding of them

[twilit reef]

I'm definitely gonna save that post and do some more testing later. I gotta go grind some trials in arc 😅

[charred cloak]

This actually helped me out a lot. Appreciate you for posting it!

[buoyant cloud]

I knew it.

[charred cloak]

What does it matter? He's using it in the correct way. Collect data, verify data, use data

[buoyant cloud]

Some of it is just incorrect.

Layers 3 through to 9 are just mountains essentially and not fine terrain details

[limpid sonnet]

Yoooo this is GOATED info holy cow

[untold ether]

👋 Welcome to the discord, sorry if I've ever killed you!

[slim belfry]

That's the outdated info #1460372116431044741 message refer to that instead

[limpid sonnet]

How has those creations been going mate? Im curious have you found a way to make god rocks? Is there a way to mess with the rock formations themselves?

[slim belfry]

We don't have that much control, all we can change is the land in which those prefab spawns on, so unless we get a map editor this is all we can do.

Still those i imagine once the gitbook gets updated people will create some insanely cool stuff

This is what I've made thus far but I'm going to wait until l the world 2.0 before I make anything more as that will likely change map generation a bit

[limpid sonnet]

Maybe even give us more to mess with too

[charred cloak]

Seed: 31279
Size: 3k

generation.centerpadding 0.8
generation.setheightnoiseparams 1 octaves 9
generation.setheightnoiseparams 8 amplitude 0.02
generation.borderfalloff 220

[slim belfry]

get some more monuments on it, a bit empty at the moment.

[charred cloak]

Just sharing the settings incase anyone wants to make a similar shaped map 🙂

[hollow nebula]

whats the commands and seed

[slim belfry]

For which one?

[slim belfry]

generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 octaves 1
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 frequency 0.4001
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 amplitude 6
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 offset -0.13
generation.centerfalloff 4150

If you go full screen on whatever map you want the seed will be at the bottom

[hollow nebula]

ty

[haughty pawn]

What’s best way to get custom maps and put them on my community server?

[slim belfry]

The commands listed above are the only way.

[stray hound]

Is there one that gives the donut map

[slim belfry]

I found one that sort of give donut map

[stray hound]

Dm it to me please

[proper thicket]

i am intrigued by your concepts

[stray hound]

Just give us the real thing back pleaseee

[haughty pawn]

Ok

[slim belfry]

Looking at it again it doesn't really look like donut map so yeah

[proper thicket]

yknow, i quite like that

[stray hound]

[slim belfry]

You still want it?

[stray hound]

That looks like a karambit with ed

[stray hound]

I wanted the oil rig in middle

But this is good

[slim belfry]

Yeah only luke can do that, unless he gave us a map editor

[proper thicket]

the true donut cannot be "generated"

which is a sentence i dont think ive ever said before

[stray hound]

map editor then pweasee

[slim belfry]

generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 octaves 1
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 frequency 0.4001
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 amplitude 6
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 offset -0.1

[stray hound]

Ty

[slim belfry]

Hey luke quick question, how much will world 2.0 change the commands we have

[proper thicket]

[slim belfry]

Hmmm

[haughty pawn]

What’s this map look like do you have a pic of it

[slim belfry]

Look above that message abit

[slim belfry]

I forgot to tell you but make sure you have the same seed as that pic 457

[stray hound]

Bet , might do it later

[haughty pawn]

Have you got any custom maps what include like outpost launch and bandit camp?

[slim belfry]

I mean yeah

[haughty pawn]

Could you post a decent map up for me to use please you don’t have have to if you don’t want to

[slim belfry]

It's more so of what you consider a decent map

[haughty pawn]

I dunno just ones with at least the main monuments and could be fun

[buoyant cloud]

Maybe if this bit wasn’t here

[slim belfry]

Yeah, but i can't just get rid of that sadly sort like a all or nothing sort of thing.

[haughty pawn]

Could I get the details to number 1 bud please

[slim belfry]

generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 octaves 1
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 frequency 0.4001
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 amplitude 6
generation.setheightnoiseparams 0 offset -0.13
generation.centerfalloff 4150

Seed 1003

[haughty pawn]

Cheers bud do I put that all on the boot command?

[slim belfry]

Yeah apart from the seed
