Multi-Paste

In order to use the multi-paste feature of the Terrain Generation Tools you will need to make use of a Mod. Multi-Paste allows you to copy and paste your entire map at once instead of one slab at a time saving many hours of work.

Installation

Thunderstore Mod Manager

Using Thunderstore makes the process of installing and managing mods extremely easy.

  • Install Thunderstore Mod Manager.
  • Launch Thunderstore and it will prompt you to select a game type TaleSpire in the field and click either "Select Game" or "Set as Default".
    • The Set as default option will automatically launch TaleSpire every time you launch Thunderstore, useful if you aren't using it for modding multiple games.
  • Use the Default profile or create a new one if you want multiple mod setups, then click "Select Profile".

Installing Mods

  • Under the left side menu select "Get Mods"
  • Search for MultiPasteSlabsPlugin select it and click "Download" and "Download with dependencies"

When you are done you should have at least 3 installed mods when you click on the "My Mods" category, it should look something like this: image

Usage

You can now launch TaleSpire modded by clicking the "Modded" option. TaleSpire will launch along with a log window, at the welcome screen you should see that mods are in use, you should see a minimum of the ones shown here:

If you don't see them you will have to look through the log and see if there is anything highlighted in Red and re-check the installation procedure.

Once you start up a campaign you will want to create a fresh board to paste your Terrain in to. In Houdini on your TaleSpire Terrain node click "Multi Copy Slabs (requires mods)" you may want to turn off "Use Registration Marks":

For large maps with a lot of slabs this may take a while, if you get a message pop up that warns that you have exceeded the 30k slab limit you must select a smaller slab size and try again.

Now switch back to TaleSpire and press LeftCtrl+B. Your map should start pasting in to TaleSpire.

⚠️TaleSpire might get very sluggish while pasting, try not to move your camera while it is working, you can check the log window to see when it finishes, the log will stop scrolling messages when it is done, then it is safe to move your camera again.

This replaces a previous mod CALPIE, if you are already using CALPIE you do not need to install the Multi Paste Plugin, the keybind for CALPIE is LeftCtrl+S
