How could i add caves to infinite terrain | Suphi Kaner | Page 1

I want to have some randomly generated caves, or underground biomes, how could i implement that?

you'll need to consider the verticality of the chunk when generating it, and you might need to do chunk based perlin worms

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 5:58 PM

#

thats using the plugin?

floral meteor Dec 17, 2022, 5:59 PM

#

you'd have to code it

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 5:59 PM

#

or seperate scripting

floral meteor Dec 17, 2022, 5:59 PM

#

the plugin has 3d terrain but not perlin worming

#

I'm also implementing it 😎 we'll see who does it first...

floral meteor the plugin has 3d terrain but not perlin worming

the noise preset has worming

#

is there a way i can generate multiple presets at once, so lets i say i can have one generating tall mountains, and another one just generating flat desert

floral meteor Dec 17, 2022, 6:02 PM

#

no way 💀

if there is a way to do this, then i can see how i can add caves and such

floral meteor Dec 17, 2022, 6:02 PM

#

So the way I am doing that is by having different 2D points of interest in the overworld @elder thunder and treating a magnitude around it like the biome in the height rules

#

and if there are two within the same magnitude it will use whichever is closest

#

i'm not certain it's great at blending atm

#

haven't gotten far

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 6:03 PM

#

couldnt you build off of what Suphi Kaner did in the biome video?

floral meteor Dec 17, 2022, 6:04 PM

#

right but I'm tryna isolate biomes to islands

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 6:10 PM

#

because all id like to do is have multiple instances of terrain generator generating at the same time. So i have multiple presets generating at the same time

#

there should be a simple way to do this

#

see, lets say i wanted to implement "floating islands" , a way i could easily do it is generate a noise for how i want them to look like (i.e. mountains, water, etc) then on top of that i would put a noise to delete large sections of the terrain to make them look like floating islands.

#

it would look like this

#

all i did there was pregenerate a large section of land using the roblox terrain generator, then generated noise on top

#

but this method is not infinite

#

#

me personally I would do an inverse mountain

#

and then on top of that you could have a layer of terrain that eases into the drop offs

#

i will also use this method. thx for the idea.

#

:3

#

lol

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 6:18 PM

#

floral meteor me personally I would do an inverse mountain

that could work for floating islands, but lets say you just wanted to have caves, it would be much harder

#

ill see if i can figure something out

floral meteor Dec 17, 2022, 6:18 PM

#

Floating islands over the overworld is something I'm conceptually fuzzed by

#

my game is supposed to have floating islands in every ocean sector but I feel like now that I'm switching to infinite scripter I might say fuck the sector system and just let the game be infinite

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 6:19 PM

#

it would be cool to have it infinite

floral meteor Dec 17, 2022, 6:19 PM

#

really perfect timing tho if infinite scripter didn't drop I would probably not be as confident about having to drop my previous version in it's entirety

#

like bruh I was generating the whole world using parts

#

my dumb ass developed the game on that premise for a year before considering the memory bottleneck issue

#

💀

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 6:22 PM

#

holy

#

lol

#

im thinking that i could also utilize slope values to create holes in the terrain to make caves

#

@floral meteor this looks interesting

#

if you keep changing the noises mid generation, you can get some really interesting stuff

floral meteor Dec 17, 2022, 6:34 PM

Demon terrain

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 6:41 PM

#

how do i set up client sided terrain generation

#

because the original video is a little outdated

#

@floral meteor

floral meteor Dec 17, 2022, 6:46 PM

#

I'd just put the infinite scripter preset you're using in starterplayerscripts

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 6:48 PM

#

just the terrain data?

#

or the whole folder

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 6:49 PM

#

floral meteor I'd just put the infinite scripter preset you're using in starterplayerscripts

like this?

#

because that aint doing anythin

#

@floral meteor help me, it aint working

floral meteor Dec 17, 2022, 6:54 PM

#

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

#

So I believe you may have installed it incorrectly

#

it should not have actors prior to running

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 6:58 PM

#

my mistake was putting terrain data under the local script

#

it should be under "data"

floral meteor Dec 17, 2022, 7:02 PM

#

Mine just doesn't look like yours

#

Like I don't have a configuration object or a data configuration object, I just have the modules

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 7:07 PM

#

the newest updated one uses what i have

floral meteor Dec 17, 2022, 7:07 PM

#

maybe it's a difference between synchronous and asynchronous?

#

oh

#

so I'm outdated...

#

fuuuukcdv

#

vc

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 7:07 PM

#

yeah

#

also, do you think its possible to run both at the same tiem?

#

because i want seperate water levels, render distance, etc

#

well render distance dont matter

floral meteor Dec 17, 2022, 7:10 PM

#

I would try to combine the logic into one terrain script if possible

#

It really depends on the situation, so I mean, if it makes sense then yeah keep it separate. Like I only want to generate the seafloor if the camera goes underwater

#

but it's not really easy to tell the chunk loader to blend between above water and below water

#

Where is the most updated version of Infinite Scripter @bronze crown

#

is it not the one on the website? mine says it's updated

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 7:23 PM

#

Try creating the preset agaib

turbid rose Dec 17, 2022, 7:48 PM

#

elder thunder if you keep changing the noises mid generation, you can get some really interest...

Hi, do you know what values you used to configure this?

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 7:48 PM

#

To get that I just rapidly duplicated and deleted a line of noise, and it created that pattern

#

I can give you the values I used for generation when I get home

elder thunder Dec 17, 2022, 7:49 PM

#

elder thunder To get that I just rapidly duplicated and deleted a line of noise, and it create...

I did it manually but I’m sure you could set it up with a crispy

elder thunder

cool thanks!

elder thunder Dec 18, 2022, 2:28 AM

I need to figure out how to generate multiple presets at the same time, then i feel like i could easily add biomes and more
