Re: Alternate Minecraft Roleplay Themes

[Aegonian]

I haven't had the time to look into all of the plug-ins yet, but I did find a couple of nice plug-ins for the suggestions I made:

LiveChat
This plug-in adds local chat (chat with limited range), and more (haven't really looked into the other features yet). I'm not sure if this is the best one, but it seems to be one of the few local chat plug-ins that's still up-to-date.

Courier
This plug-in allows players to send each other letters, which will be delivered by NPC couriers at set times. This would be very useful if we use local chat, as this is a properly integrated way of sending messages to players on the other side of the map.

Also, the server will be online in a couple of minutes.

Would I be able to replace the grass and dirt near the volcanoes with Netherrack? I may also make some lava-streams and maybe some small pools/vents.

It would add a more barren/firey feel to the area. Also I am so using Redstone blocks as decoration when we reach 1.5.

[Aegonian]

Sure, it's your volcano! Might make it look a bit more like an actual volcano instead of mountain filled with lava

The server will be online in a couple of minutes.

Did you hear about the Nether Quartz? I wonder how that will be used.

This item had been added in snapshot 13w01a and can be used to make a Redstone Comparator and Daylight Sensor.

I'm more looking forward to Redstone Blocks.

[kingnecromancer]

Yeah, Redstone blocks sure look good. Not only will they be a nice decoration, completing the trio with emerald blocks and lapis-lazuli blocks, but the fact that there will be a moving power source is giving me loads of ideas.

[Sataz]

I wonder, could I start building a bit on the server soon? today or tomorrow maybe?

[JorgasElite]

Yeah, a lot of the things I'v wanted to build with redstone require a moving power source. or at least a moving redstone wire.

[Aegonian]

I wonder, could I start huilding a bit on the server soon? today or tomorrow maybe?

Sure, Notix, Jorgas and me have already started building the foundations for our cities. The server will be online in a few minutes.

[Aegonian]

The server is back online again!

[kingnecromancer]

Ok two things:

1:Really weird things were happening when I interacted with objects in the environment. I could not interact while Prof could, and whenever I clicked on anything, random sand blocks appeared and destroyed stuff, Which I determined had something to do with Worldedit as I could stop this weird distortion with //undo.

2:I accidently stopped the server, in case you were wondering.

You've bound a Sand to your hand I think...


Also should we begin doing lore for each race in it's own thread?

[Aegonian]

I think now is a good time to start writing down the race-specific lore, yeah. I'm not entirely sure yet where we should post it:

I think that for the roleplay, there should be a special section for each faction. These sections will only be visible to the members of that faction: this way, we would prevent meta-gaming, and make it possible for factions to discuss projects, war strategies etc. in private.

I also think that the Minecraft Section should become a proper Forum Section, like the Roleplay, Community and Creation Sections (right now, it's part of the Community Section).
I was thinking of:


1 Minecraft Section

1.1 Minecraft Roleplay
1.1.1 General Information (visible to all)
1.1.2 Aettir Faction
1.1.3 Brimnûr Faction
1.1.4 Calxites Faction
1.1.5 Cloud Watchers Faction
1.1.6 Erokki Faction
1.1.7 Pyrorks Faction

1.2 General Minecraft

[JorgasElite]

Would it be ok to call my faction just New Frostholm Sovereignty? Basically just not Cloud Watchers, I didn't even say that was the name anyways.

I was thinking that we could have a whole new section of the Forum for new members who only go on the server. That way they really can't see our miserable failures at about everything. And the fact that we don't want them interfering with our plans.

[Aegonian]

Sure! I was actually thinking of a seperate name for my faction too: it could be that not all Aettir belong to my faction (people will be allowed to change factions with the same character, should they feel the need for it. Their previous faction will view them as traitors, though). What will your race be called, then?

Hmm... we could create a new group for server members, and hide sections that they should not be able to view (this will also mean that guests can no longer view the contents of the forum, requiring people to log-in to view the sections).

[thunderpants]

A similar thing faction-wise for the Pyrorks.

I will introduce the concepts of Clan (Families) of Pyrorks who will share resources. Also I need to come up with an easy way to explain gathering resources for the faction to use for diplomacy/government appointed uses.

And I'm going to remove the bridges in the Brurnt Belt. I don't like them anymore.

Also adding this to my list of suggested plugins. http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/traincarts/

[Aegonian]

Nice plug-in! We should make a list if all the plug-ins we want so far soon.

Also, the server is online again!

Does anyone have any suggestions for the name of the new roleplay world? I've been trying to think of a good name that fits the island and the roleplay, but I haven't found a good one yet.

[JorgasElite]

Fayelillian, Eldycia, Veneria.


MERGED FROM NEXT POST

[kingnecromancer]

Look out! A name drop!
So let's start off with:

Some Random fantasy names:

Sthenus, Synalus, Sthenithith, Fenofra.

Maybe some greek names, too:

Oseos, Rhiheios, Taiutia, Imuitia.

Heck, Old Latin! :

Tanenia, Worynia, Garosia, Ranolia.

Japanese even? :

Ichinaka, Ue, Dafuru, Hiraki, Osa.

(I like Osa )

[JorgasElite]

Did you just copy that message from above? It looks exactly the same. And your kind of hiding my names too.

[Aegonian]

Here are a couple of names I made up. Both the Nordic and Latin names actually mean something that's related to the island or the roleplay in general.

Nordic:
Fjarranjord (distant land)
Fjarranmark (distant land)
Hamndir (haven)
Fjarrenhamn (distant haven)
Storhamn (great haven)
Egenhamn (strange haven)
Egenhem (strange home)
Hemgjordfylke (home / homemade county)
Egenvarld (strange world)
Gronjord (green land)
Andlighamn (spiritual haven)
Andlighem (spiritual home)
Egenfylke (strange county)
Haligtrad (hollow tree) (This will probably be the new name for my city)
Andravarld (other world)
Andrahamn (other haven)
Gronslott (green castle)
Nagonsinkrig (always war)

Latin:
Exterasa (outside land)
Exterdomus (outside home)
Boreusportum (northern haven)

Fantasy:
Esterhal
Falyrom
Constrad
Fomeos
Masada
Morea
Aldanas
Yggmir
Yslar
Fellenorth
Volkorey

We should make a list of our favorites soon, and create a poll to decide what we'll name the island.

You know I was talking about area based music?

Found a Plugin!
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/custommusic/
http://dev.bukkit.org/client-mods/custommusic-audioclient/

Basically you run a separate tool that connects to the plugin and plays music based on your player location.
