Hi. I just found this, and it seems really cool. I have a question though:
Without actually having tried the server yet, I was wondmering how it works regarding map generation?
-
Mineserver uses NBT map format (same that original minecraft server) and old maps can be used in it although there will be little offset where mineserver's mapgen starts to generate chunks.
Mapgeneration itself is still not fully complete but will be quite similar to what original server has. Later we plan to implement themes for mapgeneration.
If you have some more detailed questions about map generation I will happily answer those :)
-
Nredor, from what I understand, the seed used for map gen never changes, right?
I'm just making sure, because I was experimenting with the server (love it so much XD) and it keeps generating exactly the same terrain each time, either covered with snow or grass, depending on the config file.
-
It actually should be random..
level["Data"]->Insert("RandomSeed", new NBT_Value((int64_t)(rand()*65535)));
-
Then what is used to seed rand() ?
