Do NOT suggest balance changes at this stage. I already know a lot of the issues there, and while I want to make the alpha gameplay fun, there’s too many elements missing from the classes/games to fully balance it at the moment. Only when it becomes beta can we talk about balance properly.
Ice and fire staffs for the wizard is a decent idea. Gives him flexibility. I’d prefer it over potions.
There’s currently no benefits to updating to 1.7.9, so I’m waiting on mod support before making the switch. (which is soon, apparently) I wish the error was more helpful.
By default it doesn’t have one. I added one a couple times as an experiment. Each outworld is a little different than the previous one. The maps were a part of that diversity.
I upload new ones upon request. Last time I did that was December, though the links weren’t posted in this thread. I’m not going to do it regularly. I don’t see the point.
You had killed some farm animals of other players, and when fredwaffles tried to talk to you in the server the other day, you never responded. So he was forced to block you. Now that you’re talking, he unbanned you.
Be respectful of other players and their property, and all will be well.
Oh, hm.. how frequent? Maybe 24 hours. I expect about 80 players every 24 hours and about 300 every week, based on past statistics. We’re of course not there right now.
How useful? I’ve done it in the past, but I’m not sure the benefit. There’s currently over 1600 players on that list.
This is a Mojang server or launcher issue. I implemented a workaround until they fix it. I didn’t realize it was as bad as it is. Sometimes I could still connect. I re-logged in and could connect to other servers, so that may be a client-side workaround if you want to test that with another server.
I have to admit, I never thought to have veins of melons — lol — but this did remind me of some ideas I had about creating some different underground terrain layers. We did that with one or two outworlds, but there’s still more things that could be done that would be interesting. Endstone is a decent idea. Maybe a custom biome could replace stone with endstone.
For the immediate future, we have two outworlds planned, which are going to be vanilla and amplified. After every new update I do a vanilla outworld before going back to custom terrain generation.
If you want to help create some exciting new biomes and terrain for the server, experiment with TerrainControl. I could use some help with that as it takes time.
If you want to make some nice structures, they need to be in 16×16 in size, as Ray said. For connected structures, each segment must also be 16×16. We have some demonstrations over near “/warp create”. I can even give some chunk plots to you if you have the desire to try your hand at it.
Not all of those things apply to the same type of UHC. (pvp or coop-enderdragon) That first list was mostly related to the PVP UHC, so I won’t address that if we’re going enderdragon.
The second list had some technical check lists for myself as well as some design challenges. The separate-inv and world border is a checklist. The visible border is an idea to improve it.
I wouldn’t allow any TP. People would have to walk/run/ride to each other.
Not all potions would be disabled, but regen potion is considered too easy once you get it. That’s why they disable or forbid it in the Mindcrack UHC events.
As far as a leaving penalty, I don’t know if I like losing all inventory after 30 min, but I’d have to give it some thought. It really depends on how long the UHC is planned to go. The penalty would need to be considerate of people’s time, but prevent people from exploiting difficult situations. If you’re surrounded by mobs and are going to die, it’s easy to just disconnect, and some people might not think anything of it in their panic.
Scoreboard was added in 1.5 and allows you to put information below player names, on a sidebar, or in the tab list. We use it in our many PVP games right now, and some other mini-games.
