World editor

[thedude]

How do we save changes made in editor in order to play in the actual game ?
And how we delete world editor's created worlds ?

[Hackles]

The world editor is designed to add, remove, or adjust the placement of prefabs in a custom world template. It isn't designed for adjusting terrain or for placing individual blocks like you would in a creative map. Anything you alter that isn't saved into a prefab will be gone once you exit the map. The various block editing tools are for editing the prefabs and not general map terrain. Although, like cardre89 said, I suppose you could convert portions of the map into a new prefab and it would carry over when you start a new map to play on.

It has to work , try this way :
Steps:
1.Go to editor tools.
2.Create a new world from there.
3.Go to world editor and choose the world you just generated ( it has to be random gen).
4.Make some edits in the world ( some houses , a base , a bunker ).
5.Include all creation(s) into one big square box and save it by pressing "k" on your keyboard.
6. You can adjust the height / length by pressign shift+g and dragging with the mouse till you include all creation in a squarebox then save it as in step 5.

Let me know how it worked.

I don't know... sure I'm missing something.

Hi , sorry for late reply.

You selected just save prefab , you have to select create new prefab and then save all prefab positions.

No problem, you are becoming my best friend actually.
Next step will be that I'll pay you a journey here in Italy to show me how to use this xxxxxx 7dtd world editor.

Anyway... it doesn't work..
Ok, I have to study how to use the prefab editor I guess.

Glad to hear the first thing , sad to hear the 2nd one :(
As i saw in your video you were doing just fine just remember to press create new prefab and then save.

I did it!!!
I pressed:

- "create new prefab"
and then
- "save all prefab position"
then
-save (also to be sure "saveworld" in console)

Dont know then , maybe it is a glitch in this version try 17.0 stable.

In the last video I uploaded I did 2 different attempts.
Did you see any mistake in the workflow?

[thedude]

No all was like i said , maybe it is again a bug of this version , it is happeing to me as well now. Worked last time in 17.0 (b248)

Are you guys starting a brand new game after you save your prefabs to the map? If you are trying to save them to the same map you already have been playing on you will need to reset the chunks or wipe the region files for the new prefabs to show up.

Hi Hackles
I tried in every way... "new game" ,"continue game", "hunger game"... Probably I tried also in anther videogame once i get crazy...

anyway, It seems as you said :
World editor now it's not designed to modify the in-game terrain.
(Why is it called "World editor"? Don't know.. they should call it "Unuseful editor")

You have to go in the game data folder -> data -> Worlds
and manually delete new worlds folder
