[TOOL] [DISCONTINUED] Empyrion Playfield Designer Alpha7 v1.36.1 [deprecated version]

It works now the list has the terains all of them

Still want the log?

 

Finally...

Yeah, log would be great to find out what it was in the end. The only thing i really changed was that with no subfolders in terrains, but who knows.

Thank you for your support and sorry for the inconvenience.

ok so i have used your tool before love it first off .... but now with 7.0 out i tried to make a planet and the mountains look like the old school mountains they do not look like the 7.0 mountains of the new Akua. what is up with this or am i doing something wrong ?

thanks

 

If you select e.g. 'NewSnow' as the terrain for your playfield, you additionally have to copy the 'terrain.ecf' file from the game's playfield folder 'NewSnow' to your playfield folder. if you pick NewTemperate500 as your terrain, you have to copy the 'terrain.ecf' found in NewTemperate500 playfield folder.

Empyrion needs this file, as it describes the terrain textures, colors, relief, and so on.

Maybe later, when i understand completely, how this new terrain works, it might be integrated directly into EPD and the files will be copied into your playfield folder automatically.

But for now, you have to do it yourself.

Thank you for the reply got it now

 

Maybe you will be able to figure this out. I have no spawns on this planet and I have zero clue as to why.

Couple of things.

The only biome that exists from the ones you defined, is TropicalForest, so only creatures of that biome will spawn in the game.
I fiddled a bit with your biome setups to make OpenPlains show up, too, but it's still very scarce.
Some biomes don't make much sense, as you only have set up decorations that have a density of zero, but maybe that's just WIP.

Secondly you have added spiders, Overseers, Hexapods and CaveWormsGreen. Those are predators (creatures that attack you right away). Those creatures only spawn after 24 in-game hours have passed.
To test them, enter 'dm' in console, hit ESC and enter debug menu, move time slider to the next day, then enter 'ents' and your critters should be listed there.
The only creatures that are spawned instantly after you hit the ground, are prey (LizardMules, Slimes, ...).

So in general your setup works as you can see from the screenshots, but you have to wait so see them.


One other thing, you defined creatures for the 'water' biome. You set your sealevel to 28 and the 'water' biome top range ends at 28 as well, so there's no land for creatures to spawn on. They can't spawn under water. Either you would have to define your sealevel lower e.g. 20, or raise the water biomes max height to 35.

Hope that helps, if you have any more troubles or follow up questions, i'm glad to help.

I added a modified playfield for you, but as it still contains only predators, you would have to wait 24 in-game hours to see them, or accelerate time again via debugmenu.

But i still found a bug with the RestrictYMinMax feature in EPD. You can't set it to disabled atm. So for now, you would have to set it to 0-255 to make creatures spawn. But in your case, it worked. Just as a sidenote.

I had someone donate 3 yaml files to the server but he was having issues with them and gave up. Im still learning myself lol as documentation is a bit scarce (Trying desperately to solve this as we speak but it takes a strong understanding of how everything works to even start writing documentation). I did not edit the playfields a whole lot other than to correct some minor issues that I knew i could correct. As for the creatures and the biome issues... Well I havent put together how that all works in my mind yet lol but im going to compare the two files and see what all changed which hopefully will help a bit. I would like to build one from scratch but so far every attempt to do so just crashes HA. Maybe some day.

Only predators was a choice for this planet we made to make the planet seem dead and "safe" to mine at first lol.

I noticed that I couldnt find open plains either but figured having zero creatures in ANY biome was a larger more immediate problem. The again the two are closely related and well my understanding of their relation is just not far enough along I guess. Also noticed the water issue too. I will address those as I can (past what you have and THANK you for fixing some of it). I need to play a little more with it all so that I have a solid understanding of it. We really need more variety in planets to say the least to make exploration a bit more captivating. I need a relatively flat desert planet that works to toy around with lol.

 

Hmm, maybe i'll come up with a basic Biome setup guide at least, as this is still causing the most issues, and it is also very related to many of the creature spawning problems.

It's really not THAT complicated, but there's ARE some things you have to know, otherwise, it's making you carzy.

Let me see if and how i can do this the best way.

BIOME SETUP GUIDE
As this is causing a lot of issues

So here is a basic setup guide for biomes and creatures (as far as my knowledge goes).

If there is something unclear, please be free to ask and give feedback, so that i can refine the guide further.

/jmc

 

Ok so i made one planet it worked fine ..... now i make a second planet and for some reason the ground is all hazy can't see nothing and it wants to crash on the planet mmm

 

Please upload your playfield renamed to .txt here, then i can check it out.

/jmc

 

Ok, the problem with the COQ on load was that you had added 'GrassGreen01' twice to the same biome cluster, one time with 'GrassDense' as distribution pattern, the other time with 'GrassPatches'.

Generally, you can only use the same deco/grass type only once in the same biome cluster, no matter if you change the distribution pattern or density. Empyrion will crash, if it loaded the same grasstype already once before in that biome cluster.

For the hazy part: i can't see anything strange on the terrain. Looks fine imo.



Did you add the correct 'terrain.ecf' to your playfield folder matching the 'NewTemperate' terrain? (you can find that in the 'NewTemperate' playfield folder).


Hope this helps, otherwise feel free to ask.

I included the fixed playfield.

/jmc

 

The funny thing is i never changed that biome i left that alone

 

not sure what i did but i just deleted it and redid the planet and its all good now hmm

 

The new terrain is just great

 

UPDATE (v1.35.4)

CHANGES:

• Added missing new v7.x items (NanoTubes, OreScanner, EnergyMatrix, WarpDriveSV, ...) in PlayerStart setting

FIXES:

• fixed: RandomResources' DistributionType setting was not working (empty group showing, no input fields) when loading an existing playfield or editing an existing reource deposit

KNOWN ISSUES:

• Using new fixed terrains' SplatMap for setting biome cluster distribution not yet possible
