I've been trying out different worlds to start a single player game in while playing the monster pack with all mods enabled, and I've been trying to get one of the ATG volcanoes to live in, but i keep getting this:

Am i the only one getting this or is there a particular way to to stop it happening?

Do you have non standard terrain height multipliers?
It looks like you have a multiplier that tries to flatten ATG's extremes, so it is detecting a volcano caldera at a height that should be 255, but is in fact lower. The caldera itself is generated as 256 down - which would have looked fine if the surrounding terrain had actually gone up to 255.

On a side note we had a glacier generate in the twilight the same way. There was this giant sheer circular wall of ice filled with water, with penguins on top. not sure if that is being affected by the same configs.

Oooo you can recreate the movie Ice Age! :D

It actually does look pretty cool.

The black ladder thing was one of the Borealis Block? structures. It does not render correctly in Dynmap but shimmered between multiple shades of blue/green. It's pretty awesome.

That's just how glaciers spawn in TF. Though not so sure about that lava pool on the ice. That looks a touch dangerous, like a Mario level or something. Oh, and it's not filled with water, it's just when you break the ice blocks without a silk touch tool, it creates water source blocks.

I see the aurora has been worked on since I last checked; the last build I saw, it was GIANT COLUMNS of the aurora blocks, not platforms like that.

Yes as Tristam says, that I perfectly normal. It is how the glaciers have always spawned.

Alas, that's too bad. In its current form it really does look out of place, though they do make really interesting decorative blocks.
