Aggression 1.1 Development Notes

Aggression v1.1 - Development Notes



This will be updated regularly by the Administration team and everything on this change log is up for debate. If you argue against something be sure to add a valid reason, why your idea is better and who supports it. Any changes that happen to these development notes will be changed in the subsections below a well as in a additional changes subsection at the very bottom so you can keep up to date a lot easier.



As a large amount of our users may know we've been applying changes throughout the course of Aggression life so far. Although this is necessary, we have added new plugins that provide you with comfort in the long run but may provide some short term discomfort. What I mean by this is immediate adding of plugins that change gameplay mechanics. Using this patch we will try and foresee any problems we may be faced with and rule them out before you would find them in game.



These changes will go LIVE after 1.8 hits, but not immediately due to several factors;

> Plugins we require will not be updated.

> CraftBukkit will be delayed due to the 'Largest patch so far'.

> Time required to make the map and features seen below.

Map Design

• Map boundaries set at 10,000 by 10,000 to allow us to maintain the map but provide users with some space and privacy. The nether will also be limited, possibly on a smaller scale.
  
• The 'New Spawn' design will be placed at EXACTLY '0,0' on the co-ordinates and surrounding environment around this point should be changed to fit in. This will provide a easier time for users finding spawn.
  
• Four features placed in the locations show below are currently planned to be a; Canyon, Tree, Mountain and Volcano. These features will be claimed using a Warzone.
  
• At each station positioned on the rails will be a graveyard. Using /spawn will take you to the closest station rather than the spawn zone it's self. This will; Encourage people not to build to far from the spawn area and promote some sort of PvP around stations / graveyards.

oh my goodness....now THAT is gonna turn this into a PvP server!

 

[cactusmax]

this will make our server very interesting and in plain words AWESOME. i like most of these changes and due to my brother kicking me off i will post more tomarrow.

 

[jeffrocks26]

One problem.... Why are we getting rid of false book? Those of us that arnt able to use pistons could be fairly dissapointed about that ( Like Me ). If you are getting rid of Falsebook would we get something else that could make gates, bridges, and doors? If not then i think all ranks should be able to use pistons.

 

[erskew]

If you are getting rid of Falsebook would we get something else that could make gates, bridges, and doors?

With falsebook, experienced players recieve an advantage in base defence that is much greater than any other plugin provides, or using normal Minecraft things. For this reason, falsebook needs to be removed.

 

[jeffrocks26]

Well for Privates like me want don't have any base defences. Remember you came to my base and saw my traps? We cant make anything like that without falsebook. We cant use pistons either. If we can use pistons at Private then that would be greatly appreciated. But if not there will not be any other traps/defences that us Privates can make.

 

[M1_Mercenary]

Any way of different designed stations.



Would love to build one designed to look like a old style cannon base

 

[The Noodle]

I'm just gonna put it out there now, privates aren't going to be able to use pistons. Ever.

 

[erskew]

After the actual change of the map, I'm most excited about the Faction and Nether changes. These will be huge changes in how people PvP. Also, Siege will stop the only thing you do in raiding being waiting outside the faction's base.

 

[EricExtreme]

i'll miss false book. but it does give better players an overall advantage in base defense

 

[CurlyPhillio]

sick.

 

[jeffrocks26]

I agree that these changes are great but without pistons for privates or falsebook for traps, what are some recomendations for some traps? All of my traps I had planned used pistons or falsebook. Also, how do you become a Corporal?

Rest in Peace.

 

[jeffrocks26]

Dannie, how do you become a Corporal?

 

[cactusmax]

i like the map idea and how you dont get to just go back to the spawn, this will provide more spread out pvp and overall game play but i do have a problem with the starter kit being all iron:i think it should be stone with leather armor but thats just my opinion also i did not know you werent suposed to farm mobs D:

 

[Dannie]

Dannie, how do you become a Corporal?

It's done randomly by an Admin, realistically it would help if it was automated and based on a fact rather than Admin's decision, i'll look into it.

 

[cactusmax]

oh and another suggestion lol it would probably be a good idea if you made a rule that made it to where you had to keep your factions wooden door not trapped to allow fair sieges because that gives more advantage to good players as falsebook had

 

[erskew]

Jeff, once again I'll give you a Minecraft Wiki tutorial that has a lot of traps that you can make.
