How much impact do you expect?

Nonfunctional.

It relies completely on FAWE to get anything remotely resembling real-time performance, without that it slows down to be as bad as the vanilla generator, worse once trees/structures are involved.

I also need to implement offline chunk edits to solve some weird bugs, and i cant do that with every mca editor broken.

I don't know too much about that sort of stuff, but I do really enjoy learning what I've learned and learning more. I'll check out some stuff on noise generation online to get a better idea of that before I post anything, though.

Most of the stuff you will find online is very basic, lots of people cover it for procedural generation, but it rarely goes beyond pathetic 2D heightmaps. I can teach you some tricks and ways to combine noise eventually, if you want.

I'll probably go with 2D noise for awhile, but I'd definitely love to learn 3D sometime when I've got 2D and just the NMS stuff in general down. I'm generating "planets", so basically each world is a random biome with custom generators for each planet. I don't mind it being basic for now, but it would be pretty cool to make it more advanced later on.

oh gosh

A properly scaled Julia set combined with other maps will not - config file will allow mixing different generators for each type of map.

Oh, so reasonably cheap pseudo randomness. Nice.

It is a lot more expensive than most forms of noise, just more interesting. The generator is already far faster than the vanilla one, due to removing a lot of 3D noise.

I have been reading most of your posts regarding this new plugin and I must say it sounds quite promising. Are there any news about it? Stuff to do, numbers of headaches remaining till release date, $JokeAboutEWGSchematicsTrees, etc?

Lots of headaches i cant deal with now, mostly related to native code and compression and some complicated math. I need to optimize generator performance more (the goal is lighter than a vanilla server without sacrificing anything)

Sounds very interesting! "lighter than a vanilla server" is certainly a very healthy and nice goal. It clearly seems that it will not be ready in the near future, is such a shame to have to wait so much. I still wish you the best with those headaches and will keep track of this project progress :)

It is not so buggy anymore, quite close to being finished.

You've been working on it for a year, and you are probably one of the most talented Java developer's that I have talked with, I can't wait for the project to be released.

That moment when i log in and see 18 new messages and 6 people following me.

Wat.

Egads.

Lots of ones that suggest that link points to a nonexistent domain. Usually firefox, by process of elimination (everything else is a flaming pile of garbage).

Updated my domain earlier, https://www.aderm.me/i/151107f09.png - And ah.

I make an effort to try and ensure i am right before saying anything. For some reason it offends a lot of people.

I just wanted to say to you my response to you was a but uncalled for. I get mad when people tell me i cant when I have. Me and a friend have learned to work with spigot and java without any classes or any training. We are capeable. I also thought i might tell you people get mad at you when you are "right" about them doing something. All i had wanted was help and not to be told i need to learn java.
