FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I made a little test to see which dB is faster. I run /emergeblocks (-1000,-20,-1000)(1000,20,1000)

Leveldb was a little bit slower, but not much. The more interesting fact was that the sqlite DB has 66MB, leveldb only 36MB

Maybe just an interesting FYI

Recently I ran /emergeblocks (-5000, -50, -5000) (5000, 150, 5000)

About 5 hours of processing and 4.2 GB of map.sqlite file size.

The map only has ~1900 mapblocks from the center to the edge, if I'm not totally wrong.

From center to edge are ~31000 nodes, each mapblock has 16 nodes.

31000/16=1937.5

Or did I miss something and emergeblocks means nodes and not mapblocks?

Not mapblocks. Coordinates. You can type /emergeblocks (-10.5, -5.5, 0) (10.9, 1.5, 20)

From wiki:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

/emergeblocks <pos1> <pos2>

— Starts loading (or generating, if inexistent) map blocks contained in the area within pos1 and pos2

If I run this I got error messages like "couldn't get block..."

That's strange. I had no error messages.

Well, to be honest, I had no messages at all, not only error messages but also processing messages. I thought my computer froze, but I look into MT world folder and map.sqlite was growing.

/emergeblocks takes 2 co-ordinates in node units, it means 'emerge or generate the mapblocks that intersect the volume defined by these node co-ordinates'.
