To whom it may concern, I would like to build a map for MyM's migration to Pixelmon 1.10, as I feel an actual map (player housing area included) would allow players to stay longer without boredom than an open world with randomly-generated towns and gyms. Such a system would also allow for a standardized Pokemon League, which would further increase player tenacity. However, as is obvious, I can't start devoting large portions of resources to it without some sort of guarantee, as MyM could very well reject my map upon submission otherwise, resulting in months of wasted work. I would require access to the 1.10 modpack that MyM is currently organizing to create the map, as well as builder permissions after the server has launched to work out bugs with the map after-the-fact. I hope we can continue this discussion and work out the details soon. Thank you for your time, and I implore you to respond swiftly. Haiku
Since the edit function on the forum post doesn't seem to be working, I would just like to clarify that builder permissions are not a deciding factor, I would just appreciate it if I could have them, as they would make my job a lot easier after the server has launched.
The problem is the amount of time this would take, then claims regen breaking it would cause issues. The spawn build is tonight to an estimated launch of tonight/tomorrow. What's your time frame to build a map?
The whole map, I don't know. I have the first two towns fully mapped out, and outlines for the next few. For the first two towns (starter and rock) I'd say a week or two. I was under the impression that the server would be releasing next year.[DOUBLEPOST=1471896050][/DOUBLEPOST]I guess I didn't think this through entirely.[DOUBLEPOST=1471896515,1471895872][/DOUBLEPOST]So what's your plan for the server? How would the server operate?[DOUBLEPOST=1471897095][/DOUBLEPOST]I'll be entirely honest, my initial plan was to get the world save from the old 1.6.4 server I used to be a part of and then essentially transplanting the buildings into a 1.10 world and editing everything to be compatible with 1.10, but for some reason the server owner didn't save the server files (I don't know why anyone would throw out a map they worked 3 years on) and I've been attempting to get in contact with any staff members who might be able to help. As a last resort I was going to build it, and I'm not sure if I'm up for the task. I had all these ideas running through my head and I'm not sure if I could execute any one of them.
I was expecting to see some examples of what you can actually build... I don't know what is your exact plan for the map, but buildings from pokemon weren't too complicated from what I remember, but yeah, that would still take a lot of time if you also want to include some pre-built player houses. I might be able to help, but for that I would need a bit more of an explanation of what you imagine, as I never played Pixelmon on here. xD And of course, time. You cant build a whole map in 2 or so days, even if you have few people at it.
It might be more effective to create structures using the 1.10 structure block feature, which could then be randomly generated in the world.
There are already a few pre-built maps for Pixelmon, built by the pixel community. Here is one of the better known ones: [1.8 Modded Adv] Pixelmon Johto - Pokemon's Johto and Kanto (HeartGold, SoulSilver & Crystal) recreated [100,000+ Downloads] - Maps - Mapping and Modding - Minecraft Forum - Minecraft Forum The only issue these maps have, is the maintenance they require. I have played on a few servers that were adventure mode and based on the maps from the game. While at first they seem fun, they become a bit of a chore. I think a better project to focus on, would be creating mini villages. Then have those villages edited in the world.(alternitavly players can just build them naturally)
I was messing around with that map in 1.10, and it seems like the update completely broke all of the NPCs, so that could also be an issue with such a solution.
thats what i was talking about the "maintance". These maps are a lot of work, when you have a lot of players. People getting stuck, NPCs breaking quests...ect. That map was really good for its time. One thing i may do is, download it again... then go in and save some of the town builds to schematics.
