Hi. Some specifics of what parts of BoP you're looking to modify, or more generally what do you wish to configure in your BoP world, would greatly help in moving this thread in the direction you hope for :)

In biomegen.cfg, you will find names of biomes with the enabled flag set/unset on them. Example:

Code: 
"biomes to generate" {
    B:Alps=false
    B:Arctic=false
    B:AutumnHills=false
    B:Bayou=false
  *snip*
    B:BirchForest=false
    B:Heathland=true
    B:HotSprings=false
    B:JadeCliffs=true
    B:Mangrove=false
    B:MapleWoods=false
}

In this case, the Alps biome won't be generated, but heathland biome will be generated in your new world (as avid players of DW20 packs can confirm). The rest is an exercise for you to look at each biome name and discard. :)

In terraingen.cfg, you customise how NPC villages are generated in the biomes you choose to generate. Example:

Code: 
"allow villages" {
    B:Alps=false
    *snip*
    B:Grassland=true
    B:Grove=true
    B:Heathland=true
  *snip*
}

Once again, we see that alps are to be village-free, but heathland would have a village spawned in it (and DW20 packers can testify to this again).

Hope that helped. Any more questions around this? Or did you have a different requirement?

thank you, and yes I do get that, but ok so what I do is use this app called text edit which is like notepad but for mac and copy and paste the list to there and jange the trues to the falses that I want. Bc on the origanal one I can't edit it. So now I have a separate file of custom biomes but I don't know what to do with that..

When you try and open the .cfg you should have been given the option to open it in a chosen app. Select TextEdit and it'll show up in there which you can edit and save. That's how I edit my configs. If that doesn't show up, try right clicking the file and find "Open With" and try seeing if TextEdit is an option.

You need to replace the original with your new file. I would suggest renaming the default biomegen.cfg file into biomegen.old.cfg, and save the new file that you made using editor of your choice as biomegen.cfg in the same dir. Do the same for terraingen.cfg. Voila! You have customised BoP :)

It sounds like it changed the extension. If so, just change it back to .cfg through a simple rename (at least, that's how Windows does it).

the text edit keeps adding a .rtf after the .cfg ????

Assuming this is the same (or roughly) as Windows; if not, ignore me:

You'll need to rename the file. That will allow you to rename all of it, including the extension. Don't change the name, just cut the unneeded extension and leave .cfg
 
um yea.. I'm having another problem… now it won't open.. like i click on the launcher and click monster to open up and it loads and opens the game play window and it says mojang and stays like that for a little while but then it just closes.. like it closes the launcher too.
 
Go into the folder that you have FTB installed to, open the Monster folder, and then find the crash-reports folder inside the mass of folders. Upload the latest one to pastebin (or put it in a spoiler, the first is preferred), and post the link here.
 
The crash log indicates a random ' in line 8, but in your config file it isn't there. I'd say try it again and hope for the best.
