Problem with generating islands (SOLVED)

[Karel]

Hello, i have a stabbing problem. I tried to speed up the process of generating islands by using a larger number of smaller atlases. Of course, I try to generate different objects, but when I create a second object with an atlas to generate an island, the first island is automatically drawn on it without adding a script to the new object. The same thing happens when I change the name of an object and an atlas. Don’t know where the mistake is?
And here is the script:

local perlin = require('main.perlin_noise')
local rgb = hash('rgb')
perlin:load()

local colors = {
	water = 255 * vmath.vector3(0.2, 0.5, 1),
	sand = 255 * vmath.vector3(1, 0.9, 0.6),
	grass = 255 * vmath.vector3(0.2, 0.8, 0.4),
	forest = 255 * vmath.vector3(0.1, 0.6, 0.2),
	rock = 255 * vmath.vector3(0.7, 0.7, 0.7),
	snow = 255 * vmath.vector3(1, 1, 1)
}

local function set_pixel(stream, width, x, y, color)
	local index = 3 * (x + y * width) + 1
	stream[index] = color.x
	stream[index + 1] = color.y
	stream[index + 2] = color.z
end

function init(self)
	local width = 256
	local height = 256

	self.buffer = buffer.create(width * height, {{name = rgb, type = buffer.VALUE_TYPE_UINT8, count = 3}})
	local stream = buffer.get_stream(self.buffer, rgb)

	local scale = 1 / 30
	pos = vmath.vector3(128, 128, 0)
	radius = 200
	for x = 0, width - 1 do
		for y = 0, height - 1 do
			local v = 0.5 + perlin:noise(x * scale, y * scale, 0) / 2
			distance = vmath.length(vmath.vector3(x, y, 0) - pos)
			if distance < radius then
				part = distance / (radius/150) 
				v = v - ((v/100) * part)
			else v = 0 end
			
			local color = colors.rock
			if v < 0.1 then
				color = colors.water
			elseif v < 0.13 then
				color = colors.sand
			elseif v < 0.32 then
				color = colors.grass
			elseif v < 0.40 then
				color = colors.forest
			elseif v > 0.5 then
				color = colors.snow
			end
			set_pixel(stream, width, x, y, color)
		end
	end

	local resource_path = go.get('#sprite', 'texture0')
	local header = {width = width, height = height, type = resource.TEXTURE_TYPE_2D, format = resource.TEXTURE_FORMAT_RGB, num_mip_maps = 1}
	resource.set_texture(resource_path, header, self.buffer)
end

	local resource_path = go.get('#sprite', 'texture0')
	local header = {width = width, height = height, type = resource.TEXTURE_TYPE_2D, format = resource.TEXTURE_FORMAT_RGB, num_mip_maps = 1}
	resource.set_texture(resource_path, header, self.buffer)

It looks like the resource they all share might be being overwritten by each other? You could test this by having 2 island with 2 unique starter atlases associated with their sprite. But there is probably a better way to deal with this. If you just want to generate several islands in advance you could have like 5 generated at once each associated with one atlas and then cycle through them / their sprite id.

Thank you very much for the answer, unfortunately it still doesn’t help, although I assign different atlases to objects, the result is still bad.

[Pkeod]

Please make and post a minimal project where it works not as you expect. I’m going to make a test and see if it is not working how I would expect it to.

MultiResourceBufferSprites.zip (7.2 KB)

Here is a sample where 3 different objects get their textures changed as expected. So either something I don’t understand about the problem, or something else you are doing is making what you are doing breaking.

go.property("r", 255)
go.property("g", 255)
go.property("b", 255)

local function set_pixel(stream, width, x, y, color)
	local index = 3 * (x + y * width) + 1
	stream[index] = color.x
	stream[index + 1] = color.y
	stream[index + 2] = color.z
end

local function actual_init(self)
	local width = 64
	local height = 64
	local rgb = hash("rgb")

	local declaration = {{
		name = rgb,
		type = buffer.VALUE_TYPE_UINT8, count = 3
	}}
	local abuffer = buffer.create(width * height, declaration)
	local stream = buffer.get_stream(abuffer, rgb)


	for x = 0, width - 1 do
		for y = 0, height - 1 do
			local color = vmath.vector3(self.r, self.g, self.b)
			set_pixel(stream, width, x, y, color)
		end
	end

	local resource_path = go.get('#sprite', 'texture0')
	local header = {width = width, height = height, type = resource.TEXTURE_TYPE_2D, format = resource.TEXTURE_FORMAT_RGB, num_mip_maps = 1}
	resource.set_texture(resource_path, header, abuffer)
end

Also if you want resources to be generated faster you will probably want some of your game to be native code via native extension.

I also tested not having scripts on the other two

@Pkeod, thank you very much for your answers. It’s not still working for me, so there I send you the project:

Noise.zip (31.5 KB)

[Pkeod]

It looks like you need both a unique atlas and a unique texture within the unique atlas. Maybe it’s an optimization Defold does silently that messes this specific situation up.

[Karel]

I was trying using unique atlas and texture too and Itwas the same.

Noise.zip (8.7 KB)

Here they are different now, you should be able to change the randomness of the noise to whatever you want.

There was also a problem with the script it was referencing the go, I changed it to

local resource_path = go.get('#sprite', 'texture0')

[Karel]

That’s really great, thank you very much @Pkeod!
