Merry Christmas Survivalists,
We have a great new patch under the tree. Note this patch has some major reworked random generation code play old A13 saved games at your own risk.

I have been posting pics of new RGW issues here:

https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?36439-Biome-transition-issues

Here is a video I did a quick tour to show you some of what this new RGW does. If not, scroll down for pics.





If you want a few pics to show why this needs work:

Same pic without map, there are 4 biomes in this and that far biuilding is in radiated biome (you can see where it cuts in)

Spoiler (hover to show)

2 more, same spot just facing different directions:

Spoiler (hover to show)

Roads and prefabs

Hub transitions( they still need to make hub sizes larger)

Spoiler (hover to show)


No smooth transition:

This is how they generate it now:

So I went to the edge of the  map and I found this:

That's an ocean...started about 8600 N to 10k N. To bedrock. (i'm underwater)

Spoiler (hover to show)

I go to 10k where radiated begins (underwater still)

I fly up to look at the  edge:

Everything to the north of my backpack is radiated. Then draw a circle and it's all radiated.

Remember this is the world now: (red is radiated)

It will "take a bit to balance..."

Well we do want to add more things to the list of what earns XP including location discovery, quests etc these things are in the works. I'm sure it will take a bit to balance the A13 content as we have a lot of new things in now.


They are aware that there can be a huge flat biome at the ceiling of the world:

They still need to fix dupes and bugs:

They are aware of the timer in forge and campfire issue

They knew about the straight lines:

Not yet.


They screwed some stuff up and I'm not ready yet!


(also waiting on prefab modders to finish some stuff)

Hmm, I see; good call. I've not flown around so haven't experienced this yet. Seems to me that they've lost virtually all of the biome dithering effect that I loved so much. :'(

Yuck, that's a step in the wrong direction. I wonder what happened to the code that smoothed biome transitions. It's gotta be something simple that was overlooked, commented out, or removed by accident.

Hi madmole, hope you guys have great holidays :) just a few questions:

Are you guys aware of the current issues in RWG, such as biomes dividing in straight lines from one another (no dithering) and flat snowy mountains?


Quote from: madmole;372348
That was a design choice for this version so we could get it out. It may return in the future.

well,, here is what it looks like when you use NVGs.





Lot of things need addressing still.

I'm working on seeing what I can address through .xmls... time-consuming and tedious work!

I'm not a fan of the tone-mapping; I'd rather use my video card software and monitor to tweak my settings (I had!)

People still report issues with rgw worse than what I posted.


QualityJoe perks still vanish upon logging unless thy're at level 3.


servers with airdrops of 8-12 hours get dozens of airdrops within minutes...every game day.


a new stuttering bug has reared its ugly head.

tons of issues if you try to use an item from backpack or chest...lot of items vanish, or, in the case of recipe books, don't work.


etc etc.
