18:43 sfan5     how useful would it be if mods could specify the heat/humidity map for the whole world in advance?
18:47 sfan5     with some restrictions on resolution this can be done in just 32MB of memory
18:48 sfan5     (different heat/humidity for every block, 8-bit resolution for both, linear interpolation for positions in between or so)
18:48 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> the red channel could be heat and the blue channel can be humidity
18:48 sfan5     forget images for this, the server can't read PNGs
18:50 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> then what will it use
18:50 sfan5     I once experimented and created a map like this https://0x0.st/KiV5.png but this relies on editing the C code
18:50 sfan5     @birdlover32767 just a binary file
18:50 [MatrxMT] <birdlover32767> i was thinking "core.set_heatmap("some binary string")"
18:51 sfan5     sure
18:51 sfan5     either way I'm looking for feed back on the idea
18:52 sfan5     the implementation detail can come later
23:17 MTDiscord <corarona> I think it'd be pretty neat I was gonna do the vintage story thing some time where u get more heat near the equator and less at the poles, wasn't quite sure if it could be done with engine mapgen though I guess this would make that possible
