Old Map

Generated the ores in my old world just fine

Here's the command you have to enter to Retrogen the ores in OLD MAPS.
Press ` or ~ to open console screen.
Type these one after another. Give it a few seconds, it will generate the ores and print a message on the chat log.

/c game.regenerate_entity("lead-ore")

/c game.regenerate_entity("gold-ore")

/c game.regenerate_entity("bauxite-ore")

/c game.regenerate_entity("tin-ore")

/c game.regenerate_entity("zinc-ore")

New map

If you are trying to get this to work guys, here's what I did.

You go to his website, download the pack.rar with all the modules.
You unpack it to the mods folder of Factorio (Keep the modules zipped)
Download Bob's Ores and Bob's Library. Copy them unzipped to the mods folder.
Go back to the website with the pack download, check you mods folder and compare the version of each modules with yours, you want the most recent ones.
^THIS IS ALL VERY IMPORTANT , a bug was fixed with the most recent versions.

Then you want to get Notepad++ or a LuaEdit 2010, they are both really simple to install but I recommend Notepad++.

You will open the mods folder, then open the archive of the core module of this mod. It's this one ---> 5dim_core_2.1.1

Assuming your using WinRar to open the archive, click on the config.lua twice (DON'T EXTRACT IT) and choose to open it with the program above (Notepad++)

On the last line, change false to true and save.
WinRar will ask to save the archive with the updated file, you click Yes.

Now start the game and have fun.
