So...I was playing through Spellbound Caves a bit today. I block off all the skeletons being spawned behind me and continue to intersection 3. I was making safety rails for the intersection and then got distracted by a pathway I decided to run down. I'm running down this path, lighting it up as I go along. I look in a chest I find and grab a few torches. I turn around and see another hallway with a chest sitting in the middle of it with the normal sand and sign. "Oooooo! Stuff for me to get!" I run over to the chest, about to look at the sign when I hear a click and the floor disappears from my feet, dropping me into lava. While my skin is slowly being burned off, I swim to the top of the lava, switch to a water bucket, and drop the water above the lava. Most of the lava gets turned into obsidian and I get put out. I drop a regen potion on myself and I'm left wondering "Why, Vechs? Why would you do that to me...D:"
At least you thought quick enough to do the water bucket. i would prolly just rage when i hit the lava
Your input of a "meme" that doesn't make any sense puts me into a flawless victory.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
War is where the young and stupid are tricked by the old and bitter into killing each other. The good people die, and so do the bad ones, but the weak people, like me, we have inherited the earth.
I know what you mean, but the training map is ridiculously outdated in the first place. If you're playing a map in Beta 1.6 it's good, but broken after that. Honestly, I don't think it's fair to expect Vechs to update it, considering how busy he is, but if you know anyone who's looking for a good info/training map, the beginner map in XeroThomas's Swamp of Sorrows is good, and updated.
I'm not expecting him to update it, just to do it, but suggesting that he could, the next time he makes an adition to the map (if there ever is a next time), maybe update the outdated stuff
I don't think so. Although you could start the player off with weakness and blindness during the beginning of a map. The only down side would be the effects would be gone after death.
Perfect. Then with that, I have some major plans. I've been contemplating a 'start' to my CTM map that'll set up the story...
I just got trolled so hard...I just downloaded waking up and started playing it on 12w22a. i fell down the hole, only to find myself hitting an end portal. in 12w22a, credits cannot be skipped, and they go on forever...yaay me lol
Really? Why would they do that? That sucks pretty hard... Especially since Vechs was planning to use the end as a "quick-transportation-system" after dungeons, where you'd just hop into an end portal, and hop into another one there, to be taken back to your spawn / base. I thought that this idea was pretty good. :/
Time to spam Jeb, people. ;D
luckily (if you could call it that) its a bug, not a feature im hoping they patch it out in the next snapshot
In sunburn Islands in the Pyramid whats the point? there is no wool there its the Pyramid on an island a little bit further away from spawn it has a creeper face on top of it. With the new Anvil Format almost all of the Super hostile Maps crash on me so im forced to backdate to 1.1 to play it and even worse is on Legendary and Nightmare Realm I cant even play it It lags for some reason but my computer yealds about 120 Fps Normally and on those two Maps I cant even Play it! also I found a glitch in all of you're Super hostile Maps what happens is I freeze up which doesnt happen Normally I have to close Minecraft through Task Manager re log back in then I find all my stuff in my Inventory is still there but when I go through all the chests All the stuff is still there from before so when I was in the Archmages Lab of spellbound caves I had the diamond sword on me but the diamond sword from the chest in the fleecy box room was still there!! and so was the wool! what on earth is happening. I have found though that 1.2 has been much less stable of a release Not for Normal vanilla minecraft but on you're super hostile maps.
It helps if, y'know, you read the OP and find out that you should play maps on 1.2 with Lights Out installed, and, y'know, it isn't Vechs' fault externally closing the game causes your items to duplicate.
Now leave before Hybran arrives - for your own sake.
I just finished the Infernal Sky II with only 6 deaths for the whole map. Three were from falling, 1 from starvation (I always play on hard), and the last two were from monsters. It was really fun, probably better than the Sunburn Islands, the other map I have completed.
However Vechs...Your Lack of Lava Disturbs Me...
To solve this I'm now playing the Sea of Flame II. Wish me luck.
Vechs, would you like to join Z_Bill, Sock, Hybran, Michael, and many other map makers including myself on a small survival/legit server? Just PM me if you are interested (:

Sounds like you're having issues with bad lighting data (more specifically, with bad heighmap data). What version of the maps are you playing on? V3 shouldn't be having issues given that it has Kamyu's light fixer applied to it.
a) video and audio quality is the first thing people will notice. Learn the technical bandwagon, but don't upgrade your microphone if it's not worth it
b ) editing is important as well - if anything is boring, cut it out. You don't need fancy expensive editing programs to do good - in fact, often people's videos end up looking more amateur because they played around with the fancy effects and transitions too much. Simple is effective.
Off topic: I hate having to do b ). Looks so ugly
c) You'll get better at talking with practice. Your LPing in general will get better with practice. Make sure you're having fun!
Thank you for the feedback, Zap!
a) Yes yes, I've been researching a lot about it, it's such a shame I didn't do so before beginning recording. At the moment I record my audio in a separated audio track, and have figured out some good rendering settings, but the older episodes quality will take a while to improve, sadly. :<
Unless I find a way to go back in time. Suggestions? *¬*
b) Editing is my favorite part! I'll keep that in mind! :3
(if you would like to, there's a video called Almighty Sandbox - Episode 1 in my channel, which contains some more editing. The audio was even worse than in Kaizo, but if you're feeling generous, you could take a look at the video editing I did on that and tell me if that's what you're talking about? >u< )
c) I will! Thanks!
Off topic: This is a test to see if I could figure out a way to do B) safely.
Off topic, but useful so I'll share. >:3 You might like this, Vechs!
So after some tests on my previous post up there, I've found out that, if you toggle the post's editing mode and insert a bit of useless code, you can break the forum's emoticons. That means free B)s for everyone!
So this:

That trap is even more insidious than you saw. If you happen to hear the creepers falling and triggering the pressure plate (as I did) then run back from the trap in the direction you came, the bookcases open via pistons, and there's a TNT cannon that will blast you back towards the lava pit. I've watched several LP'ers do this area and none have seen the full scope of this trap.
Your input of a "meme" that doesn't make any sense puts me into a flawless victory.

Is the Internet a competition to you at all?

Curse PremiumIt's kind of like... CTM for chickens.
I appreciate the idea of hardcore, however as a map reviewer I actually want to see the full map.
Rules
It's definately one of Vechs' masterpieces.
