Getting an error too when trying to generate the map:

@tille
@charly-o
the error appeared today when I moved my account to another computer. Thanks for giving clear ionstructions, your solution worked.

charly-o fix is working, here is a more detailed approach:

go to \steamapps\workshop\content\1066780\1960762394\res\config\terrain_generators
open the file tropical_ext.gen.lua with a text editor
find the following:

line 118
local land = params.land / 4 (delete the /4)

line 120
local islands = params.islands / 7 (delete the /7)

save and have fun :)

@charly-o
which file and location should i edit?
Tks

derelict

Abandoned mod. :(

@charly-o thanks! it works
and with a brief analysis those two variables are not even being used

I got both map editor for temperate and tropical , while temperate works perfect
the Tropical always causes an Error and can't create a map...

Someone got an Idea why it doesn't work?

There are two divisions in Line 118 an 120 which causes the error. I deleted these two and the mod works. I don't know what was the sense of the two division. I do not notice any changes.

fail generater error.... :(

@henning.schaefer . I really like this idea but, as mentioned earlier, it needs updating / fixing. I and others would really appreciate it if you could find the time.

@henning.schaefer Could you update this? It only gives a error, no matter what setting I use, it will always give a error.

Generates an error

Gives an error regardless of settings.

Any plans for an enhanced generator working for the dry climate?

Returns errors on all settings. Maybe an update is needed.

I like so much these generators! Thank you so much for making this

Im sorry but wen I want to use the extended version it doesnt show me the map
How can I fix it?

Gave @Duckboot's workaround a try - sadly it didn't work for me but I'm glad it worked for others! Hopefully we'll get an official fix!

@Duckboot: Your workaround works. Great!

I've also found this mod no longer works - any suggestions? It's fantastic and I'd really like to use it again!

I tried to use the mod today and I got the same error.

Is there any reaction from the developer?

This error it shows up

Exception type: Lua exception

This error is usually caused by modding. Some game resources contain incorrect data.

After Summerupdate this Mod seems to be out of Order.

looks like this mod is dead.......

@DiscoDave i have the same problem

Not working with latest update. Get this message:
Map generation failed: Internal error.

@Skara-Baeus: after that fix, there is no difference between that and the vanilla generator.

@Boontee: just get this marked out of "tropical_ext.gen.lua"

"-- local islands = params.islands / 4"
"-- local islands = params.islands / 7"

at Line 118 and 120
tis how to marked out with "--"

for me it works now

I want to create one with a round center, as shown in your mod picture in the mod list.

how to generate an island ring (atoll) with the sea in the middle?

Really like this generator but I'm wondering if there's a way to smooth out the edges of land masses and cut down on the 'island fragments' when you make a smaller main island and several outer islands. (see pic) There's lots of little bits of land that get generated making the map look messy. It's like it's using a fractal equation to generate the map and leaving random bits in the water. https://i.imgur.com/jhCp9uc.jpg

This mod does not work for me. Error message

Flipping marvellous. I've spent days messing around with Gimp and PaintShopPro trying to edit my own heightmaps, but with this mod I had what I wanted in 15 minutes. Brilliant, mate!

How did you manage to get a stand alone island? My creations always have some kind of connection to the borders.

Thank you so much! I wanted to create a map with a really huge and isolated big island in the center. With the default Terrain Generator it's impossible, but with this tool it's so easy! After a couple of tries I finally got what I exactly wanted.

also could you publish a tutorial on how to get different island/atolls? I'm mainly just randomly guessing on what sliders effects are

this is great, any advice on slider settings to make multiple large disconnected islands?

AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
