Larger Biomes - Realistic Biome Transition

[Scooterdanny 285]

Well, i suppose i understand, and torodial, most people will assume is spherical anyways, so i see no harm in a torodial wrap.

no wraps.

I thought we were doing latitude and longitude and thewhole hotter at the equator colder at the poles deal how will that happen without a wrap?

well... You can imagine how hard it is to do a wrap, the terrain has to line up with itself and minecraft is designed intirely linearly. It can't deal with the idea of a wrap, it just doesn't fit the array structure of chunks. Think of it more as a simulated world. There will be latitude, but not longitude.

its discworld, exept that now, its ribbonworld !

It's more of a 2D map, where x -> infinity and y-> +- 90 degrees. and temperature is inverse to y.

Suspension of disbelief.... shattered.

XD

[Scooterdanny 285]

Elegantly stated Dunk XD of course, it won't be exactly inverse will it? i mean there will be a variation depending on biome too, yeah? like a desert would be much hotter than a ocean of the same latitude. Also, Deserts, as i'm sure you are aware, are blazing hot during the day, and frigid during the night, because of the lack of a water buffer. maybe that could be implemented?

A minor correction, an ocean would be more consistant in temperature then a desert at the same latitude. Unless currents are implemented. So at say 1000 miles north of the equator you have a desert, in that desert there is little humidity, and as such the temp could be 115f in the day, and 30f at night. The ocean however has plenty of humidity and as such could be a nice 85f during peak heat of the day, and maybe 65f at night.

Which you mostly mentioned, but I just embelished upon.

[Scooterdanny 285]

Lol, yes, i understand the concept, thank you for the clarification anyways.

actually, it probably wouldn't, as the ocean is so deep and the water has a much higher specific heat capacity. To raise the temperature of the ocean as much as you do the sand or the air, you would require a great deal more energy than you would the sand.

Wasn't refering to the water temp, was refering to the air temps over the water, and they were more of a made up number to greater demonstrait that air temps in an ocean biome would in theory be more stable than a desert.

The air temp is also affected.

[Jasnatdic 85]

I know, but your saying the same thing I'm saying, the temperatures over the ocean remain more constant and don't change but a few digrees at any given time without something substantial. Like storms and shifts in major currents and such.

well yes, but I wanted to sound like we were saying something completely different... >.> oh well

[Buzhwaz 17]

There will be latitude, but not longitude.

I dont think i understand this completely. It makes my brain hurt a little.

[Scooterdanny 285]

basically, there is a finite North and south, but not a limited west and east, this is so that temperatures can vary based on latitude.

more like this.

[Ulfengaard 44]

This... is what I've been talking about... so long. Very nice. Is that what we can expect from the generator in terms of masses? In other words, will the landmasses be centrally located, or will there be 'polar' landmasses as well?

Was that sweet sweet preview or just shooped ? Because it got me uncomfortably excited for such a non-de-script image :L

[Scooterdanny 285]

I would assume it isn't a preview, but that's just me, unless the ice caps are pure white on the map that is.

That's what I was presuming :L

we haven't started coding yet, but we're looking into it. (That was 15 minutes in paint.NET =P)

That took you 15 minutes, boy got some novices here. This is how it's done.

2 minutes of paint.net, masterpiece.

Anyway, besides that, I am totally confused.

[Scooterdanny 285]

About what exactly? things are pretty clear to me :/
