Deepground: A steampunk RP in need of ideas, and more - Games

So is any idea on when the server will be up?

[QUOTE=dill6869;28517763]So is any idea on when the server will be up?[/QUOTE] Sometime this weekend, possibly Friday, or sometime after my last mid-term this week, which is tomorrow. Also I got an urge to add music to this thread! I got some ideas, all epic in a way. Hoorah!

I made a big steamy main room with a subway, workshop, airship lading on roof, and second story full of nothing. [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7813884/Bigg%20house%20for%20steamy%20things.schematic[/url] import that in MCEdit

Possibly expect a server on Friday or Thursday, and it will be whitelisted for 'safety precautions'.

[QUOTE=coco911231;28520010]will pvp be on?[/QUOTE] Well, it will be turned on for rp purpose, though I will try to find a plugin that makes it more balanced so that those who don't want to pvp won't get attacked, or something like that. I do want to have the concept of faction warfare, specially if I find a plugin to have the mobs ignore certain players so that those players can play the role of special Mechanicus soldiers, though keep it so that no griefing and all that stuff.

This looks awesome.

Sounds like a tough find. and then another plugin that makes mobs ignore certain factions. this is gonna be tough if we don't get a custom coder. maybe we can ask that guy that's working in the fishmod thread

I like the idea of factions.

I can probably use a PVP plugin depending on which features each one have, as for factions, it will be more along the lines of 'all vs one' type thing, as humanity will still be facing the Mechanicus, though there will be some 'conflicts' with the Skylanders and the Deepgrounders no doubt. Speaking of which, I found a PVP plugin that allows the use of factions, basically sorting people into teams. [url]http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1012&t=66496[/url]

That would be cool, kind of like a megaton. Maybe we should build small settlements throughout the territory as a kind of "checkpoint".

On a side note, I have a plan to split Deepground into 'chapters', basically main story arcs, the works. The first chapter would be known as The Depths, which will involve the first year of the humans being in Deepground, or something like that. Which possibly means I would change the title to reflect that...

That plugin is awfully old though - I thought that Hey0's was pretty much discontinued? There's a factions mod for bukkit you can see [url=http://mcteam.org/plugins/factions/factions-configuration/]here[/url] (just dug out of history) but that might be a little over-featured for your needs. I've personally written a bukkit plugin that disables PVP with items that aren't swords, and I'm sure I could code an extendable guild/faction system and do PVP based on faction alliances or something. Give me an idea of what sort of thing you want and I'll give it a go if I can be bothered. (Possible! But please don't rely on me that is a bad idea) Edit: Disregard that almost definitely too lazy, but still give me ideas so maybe if I get drunk tomorrow I'll have something to code

So I skimmed the thread and am not sure, but did you guys get a server? Because I got an i7 870 machine heavily overclocked with 8gb of RAM that I rarely ever use and it would be nice to have a real use for it.

Maybe chapter one could start off with the deepgrounders first escaping the surface world to go underground, and they tend to the wounded and such. Also, will creepers actually blow up?

May be worth PMing him about your offer incase he misses the post. Will you PM the people who are whitelisted, Neo? I have a work free weekend for once so I'll have all the time in the world to start helping out with building once your server is up.

However I will be heading over to my other house this weekend and next week, which has a internet connection that loves to give me trouble. Because of that, it would be nice to have a backup server just in case mine goes down when the internet fails. [QUOTE=Oscario;28522401]Maybe chapter one could start off with the deepgrounders first escaping the surface world to go underground, and they tend to the wounded and such. Also, will creepers actually blow up?[/QUOTE] That works, pretty much give a glimpse of the first moments of the surface before going underground, possibly having it set at night with the Mechanicus attacking and all that. And Creepers would blow up, giving a reason to why the towns fell. Simply put, the Creepers are made to be living time bombs! A bit of a side note, and something to make my work a lot easier. If anyone wants to help out, and are not on the list (even if you are on the list, do this anyway), please send me a private message with what you can do, and your minecraft account name so I can put it on a whitelist. I will attempt to get a server up tonight as I don't have any more studying thanks to today being the last mid-term day.

Sorry for the double post, but I got a update. I made a logo, not just a crappy one, but an awesome one! I put it on the first page, so anyone who wants to, go check it out! And an update, I am working on the server as of right now.

Awesome logo!

could I be added to the people helping list?

[QUOTE=coco911231;28530129]could I be added to the people helping list?[/QUOTE] Indeed ya can. In fact, I am just about done setting things up for the server. To all who are wanting to help, send me your minecraft names so I can add them to the white-list!

I'd like to be on this whitelist/helper list, please.

Okay, server is all set up. For some odd reason Bukkit won't work while the normal server does, so we will just have to use the normal for now. Send me your Minecraft names for the white-list, and then join 76.124.83.181:25565

Alienware doesn't mean good computer, and by all the good stuff you could be talking about a core 2 quad and SLI'd 9800GT's, which is not good stuff. I have a computer built from the ground up for heavy duty 3D rendering, which has the exact same requirements as server hosting; Fast processor, loads of RAM. So what exactly is in your ub3r 1337 ~~pr0~~ Alienware?

The server is awesome, the main pillar and cavern is a sight to behold. May I suggest the balcony we have fashioned? It makes a great viewing spot.

I think we'll need better Architects. I'm not very good :v: Just glad to be part of this group!
