Thought I'd post this here as well, since I know some of you play Minecraft. After finding and repairing Jong89's Height Map Importer for Minecraft, I've been working on and off for the last few weeks on importing Dereth. At the present, I'm close to having results I'm willing to call final.

I've made another post on the AC General forum, here

And the current status of the project can be seen here

I've already submitted this to the ACVault News feed thinking it might interest the general community (And I don't want to spam every forum with similar messages).

You're converting, not building, dereth?

That's pretty awesome. I'd totally download that map if it left the normal progression of blocks under the surface layers.

Not sure how you're getting the 3d map of dereth o.o

Ah, my bad aon. The images thumbnails are viewable in the Minecraft forum post, though.

Didn't realize linking to images like that would cause problems. I'll have to change the larger linked images on the MC forum post, too. Thanks for letting me know.

Need a spot to host the World File? I'd like to take a run through it and happen to have some space online

I won't be releasing the actual Minecraft level for a bit yet. You can't tell from those images, but it's pretty buggy in game. For example, the roads have been populated as made of snow, instead of stone. Likewise, most of the coastal areas are a mix of snow, stone and sand. Additionally, the swamps, much of the southern mountains...

In short, there's a lot of work remaining to make the color map more transferable to a color pallet made up of solely:
Grass (Green), Stone (Grey), Snow (White), Water (Blue), Sand (Yellow), Clay (Red; I'm using a texture pack I've been working on since October 2010) and Obsidian (Black).

I'll post updates as progress is made, and I'll certainly be dropping by again when a draft of the map is ready for release. It'll need further work beyond fixing the color map, as well, as the height map importer has a tendency to ONLY populate the uppermost visible layer with the correct block. For example, wandering around Aerlinthe's obsidian areas in Minecraft, you'll find the island to be almost entirely made of stone. I'll want to fix those issues as well, probably meaning I'll have to go through in Creative Mode or somesuch to manually replace the blocks.

Ouch, that's pretty bad.

Thankfully there are a lot of mods out there for mass replacement of blocks; plus with the new creative mode it'll go by a lot faster.

GL with it. It looks cool
