Pixelmon Mapmaker Permissions

@Khrymez What? No. Hell no. I never asked for us to rebuild the map of one of the canon regions. I was asking if we could make our OWN custom cities and submit them for use in MyM's Pokemon League.
Everyone's built a canon Pixelmon map - hell my mama's built a canon Pixelmon map. I'm talking about some variety.
I take it you didn't look at the world file, so you have no idea what I'm talking about.
And I completely understand your reservations on WE; I STILL don't understand most of its idiosyncrasies. However, I believe that with good cooperation and communication, staff members and map-makers could work hand-in-hand and make the MyM Pokemon League the best it can be. Maybe the builders can have creative mode, and the staff use WE to spawn in some finished schematics of the larger constructions.
Here's what I'VE been working on over the past 2 days:
And keep in mind, I did this by HAND. Hell, I only learned about WorldEdit (best mod) AFTER I had finished the majority of the project, so I just used it to make the mountain around it and for some of the details.
Each NPC has full dialogue in keeping with the game's fashion, and (when I get around to it) the closed mineshaft will be fully opened and populated. It's just a structure nearly as large as the town so I put it off till later.

 

I'm sorry? Could you elaborate?

 

That does sound good, and the whole business of adding large structures, towns, and the big-'ol Pokemon League system will only really be viable next year when the first stable build is projected to launch. This is still just kind of throwing around ideas, but it's better to talk about those ideas rather than shooting them out of thin air.

 

Did you see that town? It would take months to build that in survival. With the high ceilings and lack of creative flight, and all the resources it would require, it would take several weeks just to hollow out a space that size, much less build the buildings.
What I was talking about was towns and gyms, built by the players and officialized by the staff, for the server's Pokemon League. These towns, to be any good, would have to be built in creative, as they would require large numbers of resources. The towns are for the server's benefit after all, so there is no reason to make the builders pay for it.

...I'm talking about player-run builds, you're talking about a straight-up adventure map. I never said anything about the players surrendering their builds. It would be player-built towns for the public use, combined with the survival aspect of the server.
Basically, the way I see it, Pixelmon survival isn't much fun, as you're just building all this stuff to no end. It's more like vanilla than Pixelmon. I wanted an adventure map, as that's more engaging, but the server is staying survival, so I worked out a compromise. Player-built and run towns in an official staff-organized Pokemon League. That way you get the fun of survival AND an adventure map. Normally the staff would build the towns, but since they don't have the resources or time to do it, the players can. Forcing the builders to build in survival is stifling their ability to create and produce the towns to the best of their abilities.

Unless you're talking about just not doing a Pokemon League, in which case I must vehemently disagree. That would completely eliminate the entire Pokemon part of Pixelmon.
And either way, Lucid already agreed to the idea. I was just supposed to coordinate with you to get the whole thing organized.

 

The problem is NPCs. The only way to create and edit NPCs is to use the NPC editor that can only be gotten in creative. Another thing is maintenance on their builds, as well as roads connecting them. Basically, the way I see it, the few select builders will need to be properly vetted anyway, so I don't see why they shouldn't have the ability to do more for the server.
Or maybe I'm naive and expect everyone to be as altruistic as I.

 

How are you with interior design? I have a really good (or at least half-decent) idea for the water town, it's just that interior design is the worst of my building prowesses.

 

Well see, here's an issue: I'm terrible at architecture. To be honest, before I built Morian City I was thoroughly convinced that I just flat-out couldn't build. I can do terrain half-decently, and I can copy from videos (what I had to do to rebuild Morian), and I can do some basic redstone, but I can't really do much else.
I am working on the water town, but it's mostly just an edited Ocean Temple and some glass spheres in a giant man-made "ocean" (more of a lake than anything).

 

Ok, please specify what you're talking about doing. What I thought was happening was that the players would make little cities to house their gyms as well as manage said gyms. The cities would be in the survival world, and would add an adventure aspect to the game. I never heard anything about one map made and organized by one person, as far as I knew it would be separate people cooperating with one central Pokemon League.
Also, why do you feel the need to make the whole of Johto/Kanto in the server? I don't think that's really necessary.
