Suggestions for the "void"

[Bennydangles.]

I know there has been a lot of talk about what to do with the void empty space such as floating islands and stuff so post your ideas here.

i like keeping the void as is....I like the mining opertunitys there are there :)

The fate of the void has already been decided, all that remains is implementation.

well, the thing I had planned - mce crashes when I try it, I think it's too large.

However it's too big to stick in the void anyway, so I'll come up with something smaller.

removeEntities fails, as the map is apparently too large. I'll open a ticket on the site.

Trying to remove rails now. :/

We have an excellent server for stress testing peoples tools lol.

I had a look at the Python code, and surprise surprise, codewarrior tries to load entire bounding boxes straight into memory.

The block replacer seems to be okay though, but it's working very slowly.

That worries me. :/

[rbos]

No kidding about the stress testing. I've filed some tickets, I bet he thinks I'm a whiner now.

ayep, the block replacer must be stuck.

There, doing it from -2000,0,-2000 to 2000,128,2000 is working.
