[Mathematic]

I'd like to be a test-bunny. The texture pack seems cool and stuff. Nice job. . .

[Mr. Darkness]

Our forums weren't that full of creative stuff, expect EmRA's and Lemon's... But then a Dr. Minky came...

Amazing stuff there! Really. I actually like creating some design stuff in hammer (aka Backgrounds) so ppl could photoshop their stuff in it.
Want me to make a small hl2 map so you can make some cool posing in it?

[Baron Baconeer]

I will do it. I will take the craft to the space. Those textures just urge to create space-cobblestone cubes.

[wezrine]

Minky, I have to say, this looks amazing. I will also help with the testing!

Yeah sure dude, you could help with the ZS backgrounds (i'm doubting if theyre gonna be used, but they make really nice wallpapers anyway!

Maybe we could design a map at some point together too? I'm new to map designing, but I wanted to try it out

And I don't see a problem with most of you doing it, thanks for the good response. I will post again the day before I'm gonna do the testing!

Also an update on what I want to do with the server as a whole (PLEASE tell me if you think this is a good idea or not, I want this to be a game mode that will be enjoyed and played by guys like you instead of the average MineCraft member (we all know what they get like), because MineCrafts a good game really, itd be the players like you guys could enjoy it away from the whole faction wars thing that I know bugs a lot of you. Throw in your ideas, suggestions and changes to this:

The idea of SpaceCraft is to just make it feel like a new game without actually changing too much, and to host it as more of a friendly game play feel than the faction wars is. The end goal would be to build cool structures and try and have the best space ship / ufo / space station / whatever you want, and of course have the most resources.
I thought this could be expanded by installing the faction wars plugin, and let people join 'Alliances', lead by a Captain, so it will be based off of small groups making these ships and actually having to work together. This wouldn't have the normal system of power falling when you die and such, but would just be a way to protect the land you have from griefers and build impressive alliances

Also i'm going to overcome the problem of traveling with having either space shuttles or a form of jetpack or something, whatever works best, I have mods installed but they're a bit... Buggy, currently (You'll see when you try it). Along with adding any other mods that can make it feel more like space, (Again, if you find any, post them)

[wezrine]

I don't understand somethings. So your going to have a faction wars type plugin, without the war, and the whole point of the game is to build cool ships and stuff? I think that would be really cool at first, but it would get kind of lame after a while. Maybe people could have different factions, and then they have to go around and colonize different planets, and eventually have the most resources and be the most successful. You could have separate worlds for each planet, so if you get into the planets orbit, then you transport to another world, like Nether Portals, and Ender Portals!

Just a note, you should make some of the mobs look like aliens and depending if their friendly of aggresive, they will let you onto their planet.

For the traveling, you could use a plugin that is like the planes mod. All you would have to do is change the texture!

Every team would have a main Starship, and eventually, they could create a DeathStar of some sort! (Just not the Death part! )
Their should be a Home planet, basically the spawn, where each team goes off and starts on their adventure.

The overall goal for the game, could be that you have to go and find something or whatever.

As you said, the overall goal would to have the coolest ship. I think that would end fast and people would get bored. Maybe there should be an alien race that you have to destroy or something!
Their should also be a bunch of different creations across the whole map, that are made by admins, like the gods in Faction wars. These creations could be temples where you go down into them, and fight your way past enemies, and their is treasure at the end! (p.s. I would love to help create them )

Wait I have an idea. Everyone starts on a different planet. then, once they get better, they can create space suits, so they can go into space! Then, they doo something where they get the option to go into space, then, they go about and colonize different planets!


Hope you like my ideas, and I would LOVE to help you get the world up and running (e.g. building stuff).

- Space suits, so they can go into space

That would be hard to do. It'd mean you'd need to make people get hurt if they go outside without a helmet or something, which would be pretty impossible to make a plugin for. Ideally it would be nice, but I cant see much hope in that.. I could however make it so if you had say diamond armour for example, then you could fly without using a space shuttle or similar.

Quote

- Client side shuttles

I also could put the plane mod in, I'd thought about it before, but that means having client side mods so people CANT actually join unless they have the .jar installed (this may be a good thing if im honest). I'll have to think about it.

Quote

- People starting on home planets, and colonising it

That would have to veto people being able to create factions (you'd end up with lots of small useless factions). It could be made so each admin owned a colony, then each colony starts off on a planet with a small base and has to expand out and build a star ship and etc, so they progress outside as they get more materials and find special items. These colonies would be kept balanced in player numbers,

- Alien mobs that are hostile depending on where you are

Alien mobs are already added (need tweaking, but theyre there). Having them hostile depending on where they are isnt possible unless I set each zone as a specific type of area, which Im not gonna do,

Quote

- Non-friendly gameplay

Depends on what everybody else says, might just be your opinion, but I definitely agree that it needs more of a goal + restrictions of what you can do so you have to progress in it. Again, suggestions below! An RPG plugin could be used so you can only break certain blocks if you get to a certain level in it, something like that

Keep in mind it cant be too complicated, then it just gets confusing,

Oh, and I dont mind reading lots, but try and keep it to points if you can 'cause it's easier to reply to,

I don't know much about minecraft modding, and thus have no idea whether my idea could work, but I'll throw it there still.


Maybe you could make the plane/planet/universe/space/whatever work like you would be underwater for breathing purposes, and all helmets would come with the underwater breathing enchantment.

((Also, Wezrine, why do you have a personal plusreputation account giving you points?))

That would be possible, but it would be much more taxing on the server (at the minute its mainly empty space, so it doesn't have to load that much) and affect how the world renders (underwater it changes how the sky and horizon look and stuff) so probably wouldn't be for the best..

Good suggestion though, very creative

Could you mod the drowning property to regular air blocks, then?

EDIT: Also, imagine the moments in (possible) pvp scenarios when your helmet breaks in the middle of battle. Harhar.

Nice forum !

[Luke Nukem]

My personal opinion is that some ideas brought froward should be tried at a later date. First Dr should see how it runs with everyone building and the planet idea is a very good one at that. The breathing in space is a bit far fetched at the minute and should have further modding, but it shouldn't be a no. Minky might see this as me being negative, but I have been building some of the test buildings to be posted on here and it's a success

Always trust the doctor.

I can play this friday evening
I'd love to join =D

[Baron Baconeer]

Could I have bit more details? I had at least these in my mind:
1: Will hamachi or similar be used to host the server?
2: Will we use voice chat?
3: Is there other objective than test the textures for creative purposes?

[Dr.Minky]

Ok,

1: Hamachi WONT be needed, I despise Hamachi, I'm hosting the server myself so there'll it'll just be a case of installing the pack and connecting
2: You can use voice chat if you like, depends if you all of you want to talk together or not, I would of thought you'd just talk on Skype or something if you did (Theres always the L4G mumble (mumble, meh))
3: Currently, just testing the textures for creative purposes and, after getting a feeling of it, coming up with ideas for the server in terms of things you think would be cool to have implemented, what you don't like, stuff like that. But first and foremost its testing the texture pack and finding out what blocks you don't like, didn't use or would like to have added.

Later on I'll host it again in non creative to do testing on actual server features and stuff, and after that it will be finished When it's done I'm just gonna use it as a private server, (there is a possibility of it being used on an actual server, but that depends on a lot of things)

Anything else you want to know? + in game names please!
