Remember Microblocks, man.

Also, Warded Stone and Doors will be your friend (and pressure plates)- keep people from tunneling through it in fits of impotent rage. And Warded Pressure Plates can be set so they only activate for not-You people- so you could have a room covered in them that's perfectly safe for you, but gets flooded with arrows or turns on a level 5 angry zombie shard when anyone else tries to go through it. Or Ghasts. Those're always fun.


Actually, Warded Glass, aside from the edge runes, is pretty darn transparent. Might want to use that.

Huh. The Hunter's Handgun is part of the Reliquary Mod. Guns are Magic, apparently. There's even things like infinite magazines and such.

Infinite Magazines? colour me interested.

And apparently the reason the handgun is in the Reliquary mod is that the creator had been watching a lot of Hellsing at the time. I'm not complaining- it looks like a great mod, which I've long been meaning to get into.

Colour me interested in ifinite handgun mags as well

Also, Wyrm, Id like to sign up to be a guinea pig to test out your traps

am I allowed just to walk right through them?
That's the problem in ftb. I can walk through lava, so it isn't too much of a threat anymore

I'm using micro blocks for the climbing puzzle. I found out last night that you can use even the smallest for climbing. ...Fun night. =)

Do micro blocks allow for mobs to spawn on top of them though?

Also, uh, what I've planned hasn't involved any modded items (bar micro/invisible blocks), so I may have to add in those things in hindsight. =/

Hmn, is there an item that forces people to drop their inventories and stores their stuff in a chest? Otherwise I'll just add a sign saying, "no cheating, leave your stuff at home".



Spoilered as its the solution to a puzzle. =P

an mffs defence station could strip their items, but it reqires qite a lot of setup

Basic layout for the portal rooms. Basic as in without all the fancy modded decoration blocks, etc. I don't like the placement of the books for the portals, but as far as I can tell you need them (there's no micro blocks for crystals, so I can't really disguise them). Pity it has to be so bright, I had to stick a bunch of glowstone behind the glass as mobs were being spawned. At least its quick to make. =)

you could put them behind the portals, in the wall

Ah, didn't think of that.

Yay, flans weapons mod is coming to yogscraft next update, if it's popular on that it'll be brought to the ultimate pack hopefully, that'll mean we get planes, guns and other amazing stuff!

I'll definitely be making an arena area, a 5 V 5 area with varietys of classes and gear like the spec ops forest gear and similar stuff from flans, and I'll make a bigger map with planes and cars. And I'll include special gear that you could get from special areas, maybe drop zones. The special stuff could be like tesla coils, night vision goggles, RPGs, CQB armour, more ammo, C4 and maybe very exclusive stuff, like invisible armour (but less armour points), blocks to build an artillery piece, jet boots, tesla staffs, heavy weapons, blocks to build a flame turret, explosive grenade launchers, it's a long list!

What you guys think?

I think its a great idea, and will again happily test out equiptment

I'd rather see Balkon's Weapons Mod or some of the Wizardry mods (various ones with staffs, additional enchantments, etc) added first- and it's not just because of "Magic- hurr". Adding planes and mobile vehicle entities seems like a good way to overload an already intensive modpack, and things like C4 and artillery will be just another thing that'll need to be banned, disabled, or heavily regulated to prevent griefing- and even on a server like ours, where Griefing is heavily policed... Well, how many people use WMD-style weapons right now? TNT cannon? There's really not much call for heavy duty weapons except on dedicated PVP servers or if there's Super Mobs added, which would change the whole feel of the game- especially as things like Liches and Hydras are already defeatable in minutes with the current modpack stuff.

Yes, but I think it would be fun, have a Dedicated age that gets the landscape reset alongside the server

Then we could happily blow the living crap out of each other, just make sure we have our stuff at home.

Thats doable right Dark?

thanks, any body have any ideas for actual stuff? like things on the map and equipment?

Map Markers would be necessary if we have a Private age.

Equiptment however, Grundz needs to make a Working Imperator to Oversee all of our miniture struggles

it wont be a separate age, its in the mining age, and the games will have certain times, no freeloading in a PvP age

This...

I really don't like the sound of WW2 coming to the server.

you do realise that the mining age will occasionally be reset, right?

He'll yeah I do, which means that I can make a new map every so often, I can have different settings, different cultures, itd be really good!

Why on earth would we need a seperate age for PVP? Build an arena in the Mega-build age, or just walk for a while in the overworld. It's infinite- use the nether, walk for miles, pop out-one linking book later and you have a PVP area.

I doubt any PVP facilities would be widely used. One or two duels and they'd be forgotten. If there was a demand for PVP, someone would have already acted upon it.

would It not be easier to make several in the megabuild age?

4ourword, I think you might have missed my original post, I'm saying that flans will likely be added so I'm building a map about 2000m out from spawn at mining age to use the guns and vehicles as a PvP game. I agree, please don't have an age for it, it'd be a waste, and it means there'd be no point in making my map

He made a great point though.

You ARE aware you need player interest to do PvP.

I think it'd be great fun myself...

I'd be interested in PVP aswell.

Dark, just wondering if you could turn the gregtech recipes off? Its because I've asked around, and its a great deal of people who are actually affected by it negatively.

It's somewhat late for that...

See 4, a lot of people are interested, and the mid hasn't even come yet, I'll definitely be able to get a 5v5 when it's alll set up!

That's IF the mod goes in, which it probably won't

Remember YogCraft is a second party pack, and the FtB team only host the pack to be downloaded, they have nothing to do with the mods in the pack (from memory I think Ridgedog chose the mods in the YogCraft pack)

4 people = 5v5?
