AeroGen
AeroGen
Planning
I am currently in the process of planning a new version of AeroGen for Bukkit 1.7.10 and higher if they ever update. Here are some problems I need to solve:- First and most importantly, Bukkit is dead, I am only posting here because people knew this existed. I am looking for a new modding platform.
- Minecraft has added a load of new biomes and previous versions of AeroGen did not change the biome generator. This means I will need to either implement my own versions of all the new biomes, or I need to program my own biome generator.
- Old island generation was very slow and caused some issues near the edges of chunks (trees getting chopped in half, lava spills)
- I want to be Minecraft version independent. I will most likely be coding my own biome generator so I can add features when needed and I won't fall behind when Minecraft updates. The result, of course, being that AeroGen will not fall out of date.
- Previously, all islands were a single biome, I'm considering making multi-biome islands.
- I'd like to add generated structures, like npc villages, dungeons, bridges, floating temples, and a bunch of other cool stuff.
- Generation is slow and CPU intense, so I'd like to make multi-threading available.
- Finally, I liked my old generator, but the islands were all very similar. I want to add more variety.
I know it has been almost 3 years since I update AeroGen, so the fact that I'm back and considering it again is kind of significant. No promises, as I'm a college student with plenty of other draws on my time, but I do want to have floating islands again. (Last updated: December 9th, 2015)
UPDATE: Still seems to work for me using Spigot 1.8.8. The generation is a little slow and a bit laggy, but definitely works :)
I really hope that you'll update this project!
Just thought that I'd mention: This plugin is still fully operational (as of 1.8.7 I believe)
Would be great to see this back on the road! ;)
@P197
Updating takes time. every plugin has to go through a regression updating process. Maybe he got tired of updating it. Or maybe he got board. Before criticizing or asking read this. the last part is not for you. Here
What happened here?
No updates?
@MortusNegati Too bad this plugin has died out, as I really enjoyed it. We, the community, will look forward to our next encounter.
It is clear, given the situation of this mod, that I am, in fact, deceased. It is sad to say, I know, but maybe some day I will be able to come back to life and finish my work in the floating lands of Minecraft. Please forgive me, as being dead is an incredible disability.
Is this still being updated to 1.3.2?
@bitWolfy
Source is available. Look in the download section.
Amazing. The project is abandoned, and there is no source code in sight. Just perfect.
This looks nice! Do you mind if I use your old source as a starting point for my generator? I am attempting to make a custom island generator, with a few extras.
The generator is referred to as AeroGenFix, not AeroGen. Also, it runs out of memory at about 60%...
EDIT: finally got the world to generate, i guess i just had another plugin sucking up memory usage.... THESE ISLANDS ARE THE ISLANDS TO END ALL ISLANDS! Its flipping awesome! One thing though, could you add villages?
/mv create Paradis Normal AeroGen *
Hello, I installed the plugin, I put the phrase in bukkit.yml, I restart the server, I created the world / mv Normal Aerogen create Paradise, and I find myself in a normal world without islands. Thank you for helping me
Gonna keep those in mind..ty for the help..I found AGTV and Piggy pilot and that combo should allow the crafting of saddles and the pigs only will fly combination. I don't want her high jacking every mob in the game. If ihave time I'll try both combos and post results.
@jimmyymmij
Check out "Pigasus" to make any creature fly, and MobRider to allow the riding and rough steering of said mob. Pretty fun combo, and definitely an "earned experience".
There is a server flying pig mod but requires a saddle. I am not sure If the mod allows crafting of saddles say like client side mod "simply horses".. I built the server for me and my daughter to play on and create the experience she enjoys. I know how to tweak mods but I don't do any actual coding.I use multi verse and I can just put a portal under the spawn and have it drop you on the preferred starting island. I know flying is just an easier way to travel from island to island, but I would like travel to be more of an earned experience (my daughter is eight years old ) and more rewarding that typing /fly.
@jimmyymmij
Pigs with wings? Not possible unless you get a client mod atm...
This is so far the nicest looking skyworld gen. I have used so far ..Skylandsplus is nice but Aero really has a good feel to it , very natural like .It generated awsome cup and bowl like lakes (actually one looks like a floating tea cup dead on) .Really nice work .If you are fast enough in exploring new chunks you can see water falls and lava pours just starting to rain down and form lakes on islands below . I am using rocket boots right now with mod to allow flight with gold boots , but would like to see a dragon mod like in single player where you tame dragons to travel (seen ender dragon mod ) I have seen the pig fly mod , but only problem is creating a spawn where pigs will spawn ...I havent found any pigs on islands yet ..might have to add a pig spawner .I would like to find a pig mob with wings that fly around randomly tthat you could tame mod to enhance the floating island experience .
notes : * I can set spawn , but after a reload or restart it resets to the default spawn area# Ore seeding is a little excessive with iron and coal , gold and redstone is spot on , i haven't seen any diamonds yet , but I prefer them to be rare , esp with using the rocket boot mod temporarely.
Something i'd like to see for this: The ability to set the average size of islands and their average distance to each other. :)
