The Ventle Pit Project - A Server For Facepunch, By Facepunch - Games

I can host for a small population of like four or five cannot guarantee decent latency outside of the US though

Heh, the dueling thing even fits the theme of the spawn town.

[QUOTE=Joefrert;30956925]Heh, the dueling thing even fits the theme of the spawn town.[/QUOTE] I cant wait, an argument inside the tavern, "Lets take this outside!" both men stand on opposite ends of mainstreet and open fire with their arrows. Fucking epic.

[QUOTE=CowThing;30956584] The spawn town could be on a desert/plains area too, would be nice![/QUOTE] That is actually a good idea, that would prevent people from building random structures around the spawn town because they would need to travel a bit to get to resources.

Players should be able to spawn with atleast 10 saplings, because sometimes its annoying to find trees that you are allowed to chop down.

[QUOTE=Tayg0;30957232]That is actually a good idea, that would prevent people from building random structures around the spawn town because they would need to travel a bit to get to resources.[/QUOTE] Ideally Id like the spawn zone to be a small desert area with grasslands around it, but I dont kknow much about world generating and whatnot.

I would like a simple Vanilla server we could all play on, maybe with a few anti-grief stuff. But that's just me.

I started designing a saloon for the spawn village.

[editline]7th July 2011[/editline] Also would everyone be okay with a plugin that allows you to heal by drinking water buckets or milk buckets? I think it would be pretty cool for taverns and whatnot

[QUOTE=johnlmonkey;30958579]Also would everyone be okay with a plugin that allows you to heal by drinking water buckets or milk buckets? I think it would be pretty cool for taverns and whatnot[/QUOTE] Definitely.

I just found out that in about 27 hours Im going on vacation for a few days. I'll still be able to browse facepunch from my ipod but other than that I wont be able to do much for about 4-5 days. Hopefully by the time I get back we'll be able to get this server off the ground.

[QUOTE=ruarai;30961048]Make the server mainly about sticking in groups and having fun rather then making a giant castle 70km from spawn.[/QUOTE] We're hoping that people will form their own groups and build cities with their own themes. Also I've come up with a rough draft of the server rules [release][b]General Rules:[/b] 1)Racism and Homophobia is bannable on the first offense, no exceptions. 2) No whining, complaining, asking for admin, or being a dick in general. 3) Respect everyone in the server, we're all here to have fun. 4)No griefing. [b]Group/Battle Rules:[/b] 1)PVP and theft is allowed, so dont complain if you come home to find your chests raided. With that said please dont target one person as it generally just ruins their fun. 2)Players are free to group up however they may like and build wherever they like but we like to encourage small groups in order to keep it interesting and would prefer if players not build their towns too close to the general spawn area. (we may or may not be using a factions mod) 3)Groups should [b]not[/b] be devoted to going after one person over and over. This ruins their fun and is generally unfair. 4)If a group establishes a town or settlement they are expected to manage/govern it themselves but general server rules still apply. 5) Cities established by players can fit into any theme they'd like. [b]Spawn Town Rules:[/b] 1) The spawn town is considered neutral territory. If you are part of a group or at war with a group please avoid major battles in the spawn town as this could create issues for new players. Small skirmishes are usually ok. 2) The marketplace in the spawn town should be considered the central trading area. We will not be using economy mods as both Inacio and I hate them so the economy will be entirely player determined and barter based. 3) Players can set up shop for free in any of the many stands set up throughout the spawn town if they would like to sell items. 4)The spawn town is not to be added on to. We want people to explore and make many towns, not just add on to one town. [/release] Thoughts? Let me know any rules you think should be removed/added.

[editline]7th July 2011[/editline] Also make lots of events to keep the community coming back, like spawning 20 giants and battling them together.[/QUOTE] Inacio and I have come up with some ideas for random events, lets just say we have some creative events in store for this server.

Will factions be able to have places where other people can't build? Otherwise the whole 'stealing and looting is ok' business will really get out of hand.

[QUOTE=krail9;30961554]Will factions be able to have places where other people can't build?

That way only small rogue settlements would have to worry about hiding their chests? [editline]7th July 2011[/editline] Oh wait we're going to install a chest locking plugin, so it shouldnt be an issue

Also the first time you spawn on the server, you should spawn with 2 saplings so as to survive with.

The spawn town is the only part thats going to be desert and ideally id like it completely surrounded by grasslands

I hope this project can see the light of day. I've been looking for a decent Minecraft server, anyways.

Heres a concept of the spawn town I've started. Im not very good with MCEdit so if anyone could save the town as a schematic it would be very much appreciated. Also if anyone finds a seed that features a small flat desert area surrounded by grassy areas that too would be appreciated. [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?qyytj72heu6js9c[/url]

[QUOTE=johnlmonkey;30961674]Its not like the server is going to be completely deserts.

That "actually hard" survival map would be amazing because it'd really need cooperation, and the famous survival island with a dungeon right beneath it would also be good, but you'd need a list of everyone participating before you start so as to prevent people starting midway when all the goodies are gone.

Don't have a Minecraft account but I'll donate the money I have gathered on my Paypal tru various ways. Its just under 1 dollar... Sorry guys. I'l donate it anyway but it's not much. [editline]7th July 2011[/editline] :smith:

[QUOTE=Profanwolf;30963058]Honestly, theres no such thing as a hard survival map[/QUOTE] Hence "actually hard" because that's what the thread title said. Personally I thought it was the easiest so far.

It may be odd but I think it would be awesome to have people start factions or civilizations and through war, trade and social conquest you have to dominate the known Minecraft world. It'd kinda be like Civilization. I guess there would need to be all sorts of rules though.
