    I just tried the map out in minecraft.
    Atm the water is boring, so ill plot loads of tiny islands everywhere.

    But the faction islands ended up being about 400x400, is tht too large?

    No it sounds good, i'd rather have them too big than too small, It would be really interesting if they were mountains :P

    Tell me what you think on the biome positions. Obviously I will try and add as many as possible on the spawn island too.
    I will ofcourse add mountains etc. to faction islands but plan to maybe leave them all as "plains" biome?

    The servers gone dead! No ones coming on!

    Well, I was gonna make one of the faction islands a perfect place for Acropolis V2 :P

    Island 4 may be a bit stuck with lack of wood cos of the desert biome beside them. Maybe add a forest to theirs?

    Mainland:

    Swap the position of the jungle/swamp.
    Add a small strip of forest biome between the swamp and snow/mountain biome
    Add a small plains biome between the forest and desert biome

    Faction Islands:

    Have them all with small forests and a relatively normal looking surface with hills/mountains as they are around 400x400 and have space for some normality.

    Other Islands:

    Have some smaller islands scattered around with some random biomes, Such as mountain islands, Swamp islands, Desert islands.

    Why shouldn't it?

    It was the plan before the server went live to have a custom map however the tools were not updated in time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 370 ✭✭Xenon560


    Even if it doesn't, I have no problem making the map.
    Could maybe even just use it for the survival map if we go back

    Ehh depends on what kind of file it is and the size

    I assume its the map you've been making.

    You could store it in your dropbox, make it public and post the link


  • Registered Users Posts: 370 ✭✭Xenon560


    Does tht work for people without dropbox?

    Hold your horses. This is just an idea. As of now there is no changes being made.

    Amazing stuff Xenon!:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 370 ✭✭Xenon560


    Thanks :) That is just the spawn area :P

    Yeah, so far this is just an idea. There is no confirmation as to what is happening.


  • Registered Users Posts: 370 ✭✭Xenon560


    Any thoughts, like what needs changing or altering?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭Completionist


    Are there any mountains on the spawn islands?

    The land seems... too flat...


  • Registered Users Posts: 370 ✭✭Xenon560


    Other than the waterfall one, no.
    I shall add some. Wasn't sure what would be better

    There arnt really enough active people / factions to justify anything like superstate islands for each imho. Tbh the server is dead/dying. Back when the server was just SMP I don't think I ever saw 0 people on line, but now its a common occurrence, maybe getting up to 2 people at peak times.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 18,377 Mod ✭✭✭✭Solitaire


    Balance created by adjustments to rules and a more appropriate map might bring people back; on the other hand the inexorable slide toward the beginning of the school and college years is already beginning to tie up people.

    Are you High? The server had 0 people on regularly back as Vanilla. I think your looking at this through rose tinted Glasses if it were.

    Muck tinted glasses don't help either, and you're never on anyways so why do you care?

    Factions has definitely impacted on playability. Everyone is always in either faction or alliance chat so it's less fun as nobody wants to have the craic, people only see about 4 other people in their faction now regularly instead of big towns we used to live in, and people just plain don't want to see others.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭Completionist


    :confused:

    Here you go.
    high  

    1. having a great or considerable extent or reach upward or vertically; lofty; tall: a high wall.
    2. having a specified extent upward: The apple tree is now 20 feet high.
    3. situated above the ground or some base; elevated: a high platform; a high ledge.
    4. exceeding the common degree or measure; strong; intense: high speed; high color.
    5. expensive; costly; dear: The price of food these days is much too high.
    Source.

    What I think he meant was that Kronnn must of been too high up in the world(Possibly on a mountain) to see that the server did not have as many players as he thought.

    Again, I am pointing out a simple Fact - Even back on Vanilla the Server had regularly 0 people on.

    This is what happens after a few weeks, generally after a reset people devote less time to playing. It isn't just factions which has caused such.

    Also, am I still not allowed to be involved in the debate? First off, I don't have as much time to devote to playing minecraft anymore, and even when I do I have to put other servers which I have duties towards first. As Such are you honestly telling me I am not allowed to comment on this? I could talk along a similar line as your, in that you played as a Neutral in a Neutral faction, But I won't as I don't believe such thoughts belong in this discussion.

    Seriously guys, we are now arguing about how many people were/are on the server?
    It's as if you guys have to argue about everything since you raided each other a few times etc.

    If a person makes a comment on the validity of my argument, no matter what situation it is, I will naturally reply.

    tl;dr warning:

    Allow me to point this out: You only joined the server for the first time a few maps back. Having first played on this server back in March 2011, I can tell you that for the best part of a year the server always had a few people on, but those people have mostly left now. It may seem like this server regularly had 0 on to you, but that's only the case after many map changes.

    With every reset, more and more long term players leave. Understandable, having built up a lot of stuff only to lose it all, and with more and more rule changes each new map, like losing /top and /home after map 1, implementations of new plugins etc.

    Yeah, you shouldn't be involved in the debate, as you're not involved on the server and the debate is about what to do with the server. Voice your thoughts all you want, but to expect that your opinion should have as much weight behind them as someone who plays every day is expecting too much. Ususally when I did take a break from minecraft, I didn't post here with the exception of about 4 or 5 posts every few months.
    I don't have time to play either with work and all, but I do come on and play for a few hours on end, unlike some members of dreamteam such as yourself who've abandoned the server because you ragequit.
    The other servers are nobody's fault but your own. Until the tekkit server started, this was the only server I ever played on.
    I can say you shouldn't talk as you pretty much quit, and the fact that you still post here about the goings-on of a server you don't actively take part in almost seems like you're just stirring, seeing as you complain a lot here.

    Now about that neutral thing.
    I think I've pointed this out already but I have to say it again it seems.
    The server and its players have always been fully neutral until this map. Any attacking anyone outside a spleef arena, any breaking into other peoples houses and stealing, that was all considered griefing and it was all bannable, which was fine by me because it worked. That was the way it was since February last year (I think, not too sure as I joined the server when the first map was 2 weeks old in March).
    That's 18 months playing that way, so forgive me if playing the way I've always played before now is such an irritation to you. I hate PVP, it's no secret, So being neutral was an instant decision for me when it was decided this server was going to have the factions plugin installed (Keep in mind that factions is only a plugin, and for all intents and purposes this map is still a vanilla map through and through (unless xenon's one is brought in, then this will be a 100% factions server pretty much) so I play it as such). I've ALWAYS traded on this server, since back on map 1 where there was an area shop plugin.

    Why you look down on me because I play as neutral, in a faction I made only to hang out with other neutral players, is beyond me. At least I am taking part in factions.

    Neutral > Ragequit

    Neutral > Ragequit

    My short paragraph was too long to read?

    I hadn't even seen minecraft before until the start of this year. When I bought it, at that time, one of the first things I did was sign up to this server and start to play on it. Are you seriously saying my point can't be counted because I haven't played on the server since last year? Because I wasn't playing something I didn't know existed?

    Then your stating simply because I am not on the server much recently that I comment on the goings on, I find that simply ridiculous. I still check boards the odd time, and am just commenting on the topic at hand.

    Apparently I am "stirring" things up. Point of Fact is, I pointed out a bogus statement was wrong. There have been debates going on here for the last while, I challenge you to find 1 example of myself Starting/stirring an argument up in the last week.

    I really don't understand why you brought up the point of map resets as if it is evidence in your favor, on the contrary. These are statistics. If people aren't on the server, then plain and simple they aren't there. I don't understand why you are arguing about it.

    As the title of the topic Suggests " Boards.ie Factions Server 1.3" This is what the current iteration of the Server is about. And by not partaking in it, it leaves you purely with a speculative role and as a result detracts from your argument. Again, point is the server is currently factions are most people wanted it to become such. Bringing up past iterations of the server serves little purpose in this debate.

    Also, at no point did I bring up the length of time playing on this server. It matters for nothing. I enjoy messing about the odd time on Boards, which I cannot do very often at present moment. I did not "RageQuit" I simply don't have the time to contribute towards it. I will point out, if you are pointing fingers at people for not playing and those making their points invalid, Didn't you leave the last server to another one because you were bored by it or something? :confused: I specifically remember you leaving the IP address of another server in your shop.

    Apparently now, If another Server offers me the position of Moderator, I now must decline and take into account Iair shouting at me for not being able contribute time to boards.

    What can I say, Apparently providing another viewpoint is a banworthy offence now :confused:

    I was providing a Rebutle to your statement. You stated something that simply was untrue, Correcting it was not stirring anything up. Iair started to argue about the impact of Factions upon player number, that my friend is not started by myself.
