I know that a lot of you have asked me about terraforming tutorials. The good news are that I'm going to start a blog about terraforming if there will be enough interest in it. If there is something you would like me to cover, feel free to write it down in the comments or on twitter.
I chose to not show the projects on my profile but instead focus on what i'm working on right now via wall posts. You can find all the projects i made in the dropdown menu under submissions.
I'm creating a new Worldmachine flow. Every now and then I will "live tweet" while working on it. The image album below includes images of various development stages. Currently 4 biomes done: forest, savanna, jungle and swamp.
I want to address some issues people are having with the project. To really step up the game and make it entirely foolproof I am looking for a web developer who can help me.
I would like to create a website where people can select what region(s) they want to download visually. Based on the requested tile(s) a download is generated that downloads ONLY the selected tiles, the spawn tile and all the regular stuff (level.dat, etc).
Do you know anyone who you expect knows how to do this? Tell me!
Actually I just noticed that the anvil save format (the latest format) also uses individual files for chunks, which is even easier if you decide that the other person's way won't work.
I'm talking with someone else about a solution aswell, something that is already in development and that could work for my purposes. I've never heard of the alpha save format, I'm going to look it up, but converting would be an additional step so I put my hopes towards the thing already in the works. If that doesn't work out, i'll be sure to contact you! Thanks again for reaching out!
If you're still interested in this, I have a concept. If we can convert your world to the Alpha Save Format somehow, we can make it so when you visit the website, it will download a base folder for you. Then, when people select all the regions, it will download the files for each selected chunk, because Alpha Save Format used files for every individual chunk and the files will be put in a folder in that base folder that was downloaded. Finally, it would convert the folder back into the Anvil save format. Just a concept, if your still interested I could try making it happen.
As far as I know, that's a realistic analysis of the situation. That said, I would like to hear from who does do backend work whether your analysis checks out. For all I know there could be a relatively simple solution.
