Okay we are soon launching a Survival Games server, however I am looking for a number of maps we can play on. You can either provide links to publically available maps you know are good (these must be specifically designed to be Hunger Games / Survival Games maps), or if you are a map builder build one for the server and have eternal fame and glory
What size should the arenas be? Also can they be made on the creative server or would the plot be too small
That would be really small. Go check out some youtube vids of hunger games maps it should give you a pretty good idea. I actually really loved the abandoned city map that we had a long time ago.
Hmm, kinda interested in creating an arena. Whats size map would you prefer to have? Any features or themes that you would like? Its quite an investment of time to create something on that scale so want to make sure I have something you would be interested in. And cools, HG maps tend to be on the large size. 400x400 - 800x800. You would be using World edit if you planned on getting it even remotely done within a month lol. Your talking about doing a map to support around 24 players with environmental hazards, secret caches, and a landscape to truly explore and provide a means for tactics. Its no small undertaking thats for sure.
Exa, would love a map from you, providing it is balanced and fun to play it will be used in rotation, basically the theme is upto you, can be anything from abandoned city through to a space station, however it will need hidden areas / chest placements / traps and so on in the theme of the Survival Games maps, the max arena / gameplay area size we will be aiming for is to accomodate 24 players per match. CoolSkimmpys you will need a server with WorldEdit, and possibly Voxel Sniper installed for map creation otherwise it will take and age. Ponm, we will probably have the abandoned city map again in the rotation
Oh yes, I would not limit it to only voxel sniper. May as well just install the VoxelModpack too, its worth having anyway and is updated to 1.6.2. @Natbyte: Ill give it some thought, see if I really have time irl to devote to getting something like this done within reasonable time.
Maybe we could get togheter a few players and try to make a map... We'd need a server tho :/ People are maybe not interested...
I would be definitely be interested to help make a hunger games map but i wouldn't be looking to do it on my own, as emil said we should try get a team of players to try and create one as hunger games maps are normally pretty big and it's not really a 1 man job!
Depends on the 1 person and the tools that person has at his disposal hehe. But your right, it would get done more quickly with many people vs one. However, as always, when you include a lot of people you have to make sure build styles are not clashing because then its just a mess. And when you deal with several people often times things end up pretty unorganized and not at all what you wanted it to be unless you got a good core of talented builders. I've not had a lot of good experiences with group builds and is the reason I solo build all my stuff, though I will give it some thought because i do have my own server I run I could host a group build on but idk, ill think about it. And of course somebody else might be all for a group build and host one on their server And ofc if you really wanted to just get a group of people you could all throw in ed and get an architect to purchase a large section of land and bulk building materials at discount and you could all build it on the survival server.
yes, as i said: "I would not limit it to only voxelsniper" the modpack has the voxelsniperGUI which is extremely helpful in using VoxelSniper. It also includes worldediteCUI, minimap, liteloader, mcpatcher, macro/keybind and many others. And all you have to do is download and use the VoxelModPackPlugin for you server to use the server specific mods in it. There should be a "too" after VoxelModpack, thats what was intended. Thank you for correcting my sentence
Ah, haha. Sorry, the way you phrased it had me reading it as if you thought VS was in the mod pack and ppssst i know what's in it i'm on the voxelbox
Who hasn't been at one point or the other XD I tried it out on my other account for a couple months, it was okay. Got bored after a while though. (And no, not telling you what that accounts name is ) A-n-y-way we are off topic now. Back to MCS hunger games maps!
Well i would be happy to host a server for us to create a map, but that's if any of you would be interested.
Would this also include 'The Walls" style team survival maps? I have been slowly working on a region for 'The Walls" but have been trying to make sure I could come up with ways to make it work on the survival server. I will have to look into making a map for 'Hunger Games' and 'The Walls' since I had an idea for both. The Walls just seemed like it would be faster to accomplish on survival. Haha boy was I wrong.
If we made a map together, we would need a leader of some kind and we'd need to trust everyone in hte project...
I will setup a map creation server,with all the tools however we need a team leader to project manage the development, and a number of trusted builders to contribute.
I would be interested in a role, i would say i wouldn't want to be team leader as there are much more skilled builders like the architects but i would be happy to have a role.
