Another problem!

I have been having trouble with the swamp script for dragon, I want to make the trees and swamp things more dense, almost like a jungle thickness but not that much.

No matter how much I increase the frequency of the swamp trees or other items, it doesn't seem to actually work. I was wondering if there was a max limit for stuff you can have or a max frequency number? This is driving me crazy, no matter how much more shit I put in, it doesn't seem to increase the items.

Are you re-running Dragon so that the scripts get rebuilt? I have to ask, since some people forget that.

As far as a maximum, I don't believe there is, but I've never actually tried to increase it dramatically. One thing to try though is to make the differences between two items greater. For example, leave one of the ferns low and increase everything else. Let me know how it goes.

Hmm... well i decreased the numbers which were in the hundreds range (0100 - 0900)and put them back down low.. to about the same that i had down for the various forest trees (0030 - 0065)

ran dragon (i have been doing that) and dragonsp.. in dragonsp even with the lowered numbers it said the worldfile had about 620989 items. When I had the high numbers in, dragonsp said the worldfile had 622890 items. I can't seem to get above 622000 something so maybe there is some sort of limit?

Did what I just said make sense? lol

Also, what does the frequency mean? is it like a percentage or what?

yes, frequency is (supposed to be) percentage, but it seems not completely straight foward. Kind of interesting that you can't get above 622k items or so. I'm going to have to look into this. I'm currently working on some script issues as it is right now, so I'll look at this as I work on them.

Did you find out any more about how the frequency works or how to increase items in the swamp? Maybe its a bug with the swamp tile and it only sees some of them? I dunno...

Also did you figure out why the leaves weren't showing up in the forests?

Btw, i think the 00015 fixed to 0015 fixed that random stone wall 4 thing so thanks : )

It's just not the swamp that is affected. I think it's a matter of figuring out the exact method of getting more items in ANY script.
I'm currently working on trying to figure this out.

Stay tuned for details.
