Ummmm, dragon, you STILL don't actually have a character background. PRETEND your making a fantasy book, and theres pages about the characters in the story. First of all, we aren't all elves (but most are), so please be a hume. And it isn't like reg minecraft survival. This is a ROLE-PLAY server.

by **Sataz** Fri Jul 29, 2011 6:36 pm

reminds me, you should add a section on the applications on how they got to the server.

by **Ryiin Taemera** Sat Jul 30, 2011 8:37 pm

Yeah, it indeed would be nice to know how people came across our server!

by **JorgasElite** Sat Jul 30, 2011 10:06 pm

That would be a great idea because then noobs won't invade our server and destroy/grief/steal/all of the choices everything.

by **Sataz** Sat Jul 30, 2011 10:52 pm

there is only one problem I can see... the server is never up anymore...

by **Aegonian** Sun Jul 31, 2011 12:52 pm

Soon, we will start putting the server online more frequently, but we've got some big changes planned. We'll post more info soon.

by **Sataz** Sun Jul 31, 2011 1:25 pm

I think the biggest problem is a story, I'd love to work on that, also we need some landmarks, to tell people more about the history of the world and such (for instance something about why Amathea is such a big city)

by **Aegonian** Sun Jul 31, 2011 8:29 pm

An actual story is one of the things we're working on. Another is a new map: One made using WorldPainter.
More landmarks will be placed as well, and I think dungeons will be added too. Soon, we'll create a temporary map on which people can build houses, dungeons, landmarks and other stuff. We'll pick the best creations and place them on the new map.

Something I don't want to do this time is add completed towns to the map: building the towns should be part of the roleplay. And the accompanying changes in the texture pack will make the process of gathering the right materials a bit more challenging: Cobblestone will be changed into cracked stone, and clay bricks will be the new stone bricks (And yes, I know clay is WAY too rare for it to be used as a building material, which is why we will add large reserves of clay at some locations).

by **Sataz** Sun Jul 31, 2011 9:38 pm

does that mean a new application thread? (yet again...) how many more maps will it take you to actually get a real roleplay set up? (no offence...)

by **Aegonian** Sun Jul 31, 2011 10:32 pm

New applications won't be necessary, but as new races will be introduced, it will be possible for whitelisted members to chose a new character (without writing a new application).

And the map you saw today was a test version. Minecraft was not yet allowed to populate the terrain with resources, trees and grass, as we just wanted to see what the islands looked like.

by **thunderpants** Sun Jul 31, 2011 11:18 pm

Just out of interest, why don't we mix things up a bit and go with a more sci-fi styled RP? The existing ones have all been Medieval...

by **Aegonian** Sun Jul 31, 2011 11:32 pm

I am considering it, but I'm not sure yet. Ryiin really wants it to be medieval-styled, though.

What I have been thinking about for a long time is a truly Elithian server: One where you play as your roleplay-creature, on Elithia or one of the other planets. I want to make a texture pack for it first, which will include more modern, technological textures, like computers, machinery and textures made specifically for spaceships.
If we are doing such a server, I want there to be several worlds: One that resembles Elithia, another that resembles space (using a mod that ensures it is always midnight), and perhaps one for Icicle, Thelea or some other planet.

What do you think?

A snow planet, a Lava Planet, a cluster of asteroids, desert planet or a wasteland planet would be awesome (In my opinion) It may motivate me to make my planned Plugin for a Snow World Generator, but I may work on some smaller plugins first. (I really need to Learn Java... Why do I keep not doing it?)

It's a shame Notch doesn't add a Bunny Ears item, even if It was dungeon loot, it would really help for Notix Ears!

I just thought, for some technology you could use the PreciousStones mod, and create some really cool stuff! (Shields which hurt certain people, others which heal anyone, and some which disallow everyone!)

by **JorgasElite** Mon Aug 01, 2011 1:56 am

YES! If we could have a sci-fi and medival, that would be great! Maybye a week of Sci, then Medieval. It would be awesome to have a truly sci-fi world with truly sci-fi tools and...... Everything! For the other planet, I was thinking Athana or New Vandus Prime. I chose these two because they'r different. Athana is always raining, and is a dark planet with many oceans and dark mountains. Forests dominate most of the planet's surface, and they'r not like Amathea Woods. N.V.P. is a impossible planet, but's lets just make it a lot more simple. There is no natural light on the surface, and everything grows of special electricity in the ground. The electricity is like a super fertilizer, and causes everything to grow like bamboo x50. Everybody lives underground because of the vicious vegetation. Also, if you could make a simple ore like Iron, only that it also creates light, that would be great. BUT, if you could be my angel, try to make a special stone that drops reg cobble, but also drops 1-6 redstone and/or 0-1 lightiron. (The iron-like ore above that creates light with use with reg iron uses)

How complicated this is going to get... anyway, I think if you have multiple worlds, you should use a gate mod or something similar to transport between different worlds, I'm not sure how the texture is going to work out, but I believe Ryiin was able to change our texture packs on the server, perhaps this could also work in different worlds...

by **Aegonian** Mon Aug 01, 2011 12:24 pm

Using BukkitContrib (Or Spout, that's the new name), it is possible to force players to use a certain texture pack. It is also possible to set a custom pack for every world.

A gate plugin won't be too hard to find, and possibly, we can even get one that uses custom portal shapes (instead of using nether-gates). These gates will be placed inside spacestations, I think.

If we are doing this, I will try making several Texture Packs, but they will be SD (less work) instead of HD. However, I will still recommend using a patcher: I will use cutom water and lava animations.

by **Sataz** Mon Aug 01, 2011 12:55 pm

for the gate mod you can use ancientgates (discontinued but still working) it works as follows:
it uses commands (no permissions support, but only op's can use it) you can make a frame any form you want, any size. you choose where to it will transport you and use a command to open at will (again, op only) one downside is that in order to transport back, you will need to make another gate, going back...

by **Aegonian** Mon Aug 01, 2011 1:27 pm

If it is inactive, we probably won't use it. I just checked some of the last posts though, and it seems the developer of AncientGates is now developing a new cutom gate-plugin that should work too.

by **Sataz** Mon Aug 01, 2011 4:40 pm

creativegates SUCKS! it didn't work when I installed it so I decided to give ancientgates a shot and that one did work... with creative gates, for some reason when I destroyed the portal the gate didn't shut down and went all the way across the room, anyway that was just a suggestion so I don't mind if you don't use it.

One should report bugs when he stumbles upon them.

What about Voxelport? That way we can have fixed and timed routes! http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/tp-voxelport-v2-028-travel-in-style-and-on-schedule-950.2703/

That seems quite nice!

by **thunderpants** Mon Aug 01, 2011 8:42 pm

I think spawn needs to be a space station if we do multiple planets, A hub for Tping

by **JorgasElite** Mon Aug 01, 2011 9:08 pm

Okay, so every world has a different tex pack but has to have patcher. SD packs are the ones I use, but I use painetrly which is basicly the best one. So about the gates, I wouldn't mind if the gates were nether-like. Actually, I think it would be cool if they were Nether-like, but the obsidian being half-rock, half machinery. That would be cool.
