Idea for a server map.

Crow92

Just a random thought, I was going to have a bash at this myself but would be fun with others to do.
*Note I also don't have a server to host this :P

But I was thinking of making a Replica of the "Wheel of Time" map? Starting in Emond's field and branching out from there. It would be an imense project that could last for ages. There would need to be a full concensus on the server of everyone doing this when they're on.

Is anyone else interested in something like this?

(Incase you don't know the wheel of Time)

That looks like it could take a while :P

You could try use a Map editor ( linky )to give an outline of the land and then use World Edit to generate forests and mountains. There's some commands in there for smoothing terrain too iirc.

It is the map and not some wheel right?

Having ever got round to reading the wheel of time, it would have to be something like the LOTR middle earth map for me.

Though something like it would be a good idea


Think of all the places though, Minas Tirith, Helms Deep, Isengard, Fangorn Forest, Mordor, Lonely Mountain and Moria

I'd love to do the middle earth one too, but it is already being done/is a server afaik.

It is like the lotr map in terms of medievil style and what not.

Hmmmm

I'd still love to do it. In particular Minas Tirith would be awesome. Though you would need a lot of white wool :pac:

A big project like this would be awesome, but I don't know either this or LotR.

Another suggestion - A Song of Ice and Fire's map would also be fun and a lot of interesting challenges between The Wall, Winterfell, The Eyrie, The Red Keep in Kings Landing and the Slaver Cities if Old Ghis. Given the TV show, it's pretty popular, so it might be easier to get help on if there're already people working on Middle Earth.

like that idea

I would help with that. I loved the tv show and i'm going to buy the book series soon. So i'd be up for that one. I think that would take much longer than the one Crow is suggesting though.

I'd be up for any of the above tbh, they all have the same idea.

Lotr has the easiest way of making it with such distinctive places people know to see.

Song of fire and ice, haven't heard of it before, only googled to find it's the game of thrones series, gonna download that now to look at. Is it easy to get pictures and get a general idea of the places?

The westlands in the wheel of time would be the most subjective of map designs. there are to my knowledge no actual pictures made for this series only discriptions so it'd need to be interpreted.

I'd be up for anything if anyone has a server to do it? We'd obviously need to plan this a lot first though.

If I had 10000 thumbs, I'd thumb it all the way baby! Would love to try that.

Building a 700 foot, 300-mile long wall out of ice blocks. Could take a while

So for a 1 to 1 model that would be 210 blocks high and 480,000 blocks long :pac:

Yeah, gotta wait for 1.8 :cool:

gavmcg92

Yeah sounds like a great idea! Could take a couple of months but it would be a great project to do as a team

noobacus

im pretty new to this but think its a great idea and i think i could manage to help out with the wall at least

Crow92

Anyone have any ideas for maps besides the three? will pop up a poll thread if there are no others?

Wing126

A replication of some towns from the Pokemon series? :P
Perhaps Kanto? :P

Colmo52

Springfield (Simpsons)
New New York (Futurama)

Probably wouldn't be as big as the others.

Don't forget, we need to include Castle Black, Deep Lake, Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, Greyguard, Icemark, Long Barrow, Nightfort, Oakenshield, Queensgate, Shadow Tower, Stonedoor, Westwatch-by-the-Bridge and Woodswatch-by-the-Pool...

13 Castles along the Wall itself, no small task...
