I'd like to suggest the idea of easing up Vincent and allowing teleport commands and other things. That way, Alice would continue to be 'hardcore', but Vincent would cater to seemingly a larger base of players who aren't really into hard core. Thoughts?
There will always be players who want to play vanilla SMP. The number of them might be small(er), but they're still around. And should you "ease up" Vincent, you're likely to turn these people off. Vincent would be like a cheapened SMP server, or a downgraded Creative server. Anybody that was looking for an SMP experience would just join Alice, and anybody that was looking for a creative server would simply look elsewhere. Just my two cents.
NO! That would Not be a good idea. Maybe more ender pearls to start though, and a way to make the compass point to you bed.
i dont like the idea of teleportation... maybe some sort of death chest plugin where if u die, a chest pops up with all ur stuff inside, that makes sense.... but as for an outright easier teleportation.... :/
I also agree with everyone not to change it but I think we should have a fresh new smaller map for the smaller playerbase. There a lot of empty houses of ex-players taking room for nothing and making the main city maze-like for new people. I also think everyone on Vincent should have Rei's Minimap mod so you can at least put waypoints so you can find your way easier without compromising game difficulty. Well I would play Vincent more if there was a bigger playerbase. Thats just my opinion
Rei's Minimap is allowed on Vincent, but I don't really support making it official. I supposed I could get behind a new map though.
Teleportation would ruin the whole travel/explorer idea. I also agree that there is too much junk (houses etc) from people who quit long ago. Maybe some reminder email could be sent and let them the choice of wether they get active again or let their stuff be destroyed (or something like that)
Lately i have seen more players in vincent than the usual... Most of them are playing there due to possibilitie of living in a new city that is being built on server... Ok, it may be off topic but this is what I mean to vincent! I guess vincent can be improved with sample methods, like cleaning up ex-players' buildings and maybe putting their items on a different store, with good but no abusive cheaper prices... Maybe a new design for spawn, a design more intuitive, where the new players know where is the shop, how does ender pearls work, where they can find a avaible plot, what they should and should not do, what is alice (I see lots of players who joins on vincent and asks what is alice and why they can't connect to it!), how does lock system work, how do they use mappad, which commands are they available to use, why this and why that... Anyway, being direct I really dislike teleporting system... It makes the game so easy, like "oh i got tons of diamonds but i'm gonna die! Oh wait, I won't die, I can sample type /home"
i can see why NOT using teleport system on vincent is a great idea... however i cant see why Vincent doesnt at least have rei's minimap... however if rei's mini map isnt going to be implemented then the in-game map and compass and habitat locator should be fixed... also to prevent the drama after a player has been griefed on Vincent wouldnt it not be possible to have a Chunk backup file that saves individual chunks and can thus be "rolled back" to before the date/time that chunk was griefed? it should help keep some newbies from rage quitting... sense griefing in it self cant be prevented directly without ruining some of the game mechanics... (i know i dont talk in forums much... i just like keeping to myself)
Rei's is a client-side mod, i've been on vincent, it's not like rei's is disabled on the server. wrong server. i think we already do that o.o
when i visit vincent its greifed horribly all over the place.. i figured you didnt "do that" is why i suggested it... also how do i enable rei's for vincent?
Remember that instead of grieffed, some buildings may be not finished! Anyway, easy way to get rei's minimap for vincent: 1 - Get SKCraft Launcher - Here. 2 - Access www.google.com and search for "reis minimap" 3 - Go to the thread, it will be probably the first result shown and click Download (adfly). 4 - Wait for just 5 seconds and click em "Close Advertisement" or something like that! 5 - File will be download. Remember where it's saved. 6- Open SKCraft Launcher. Make sure your configuration is set to default or to the config you use to vincent. Click "Addons", at the middle of the bottom buttons. 7 - Click "Install". 8 - Find the file you just download and open it! 9 - You will probably see a screen like this: You may click test, launch or even close. 10 - Rei's Minimap is installed and working! 11 - Press "M" (default) and you will see the config menu! I hope i've helped
lguasso, you should make more tutorials. These are really good and noob-proof explained. Maybe a tutorial to use the elevator plugin?
ahm, thanks anyway, now i gtg, but when I come back i will probably make... Maybe I ask SK to create a "tutorial section" somewhere on forums, then I move all of them to there thanks again!
