Hey Guys and Gals on the Forum!

I've created a Doctor Who themed custom adventure map with the use of Command Blocks. You and new companion Oswin can take a trip through time and space, fighting space pirates and visiting an alien planet. It's a fun little adventure, and I hope you'll like it. If you do, feel free to leave me some feedback.

Here are some Screenshots:













The Download for Version 1.4c (which adds a new level, changes loot and adds pirate enemies, and fixes V1.4b's problems) can be found here:

Have Fun!

Note: If anyone is willing to help me add in Zombie Pigmen with armor, it would be much appreciated.

P.S. Make sure you are playing on easy before loading the map!

Amazing map!!!!!!!!

[Eggplant_Lincoln]

Thanks lildrummabot, glad you're having fun

[TOPHATANT123]

That was amazing... I see you have taken lots of time and effort to put the map together and program all the command blocks. I loved the concept and you really paid attention to detail with all the space like engines made of cobble walls. My one and only issue with the map was an annoying text that spammed the chat - "Ship Near! Dock Via Airlock" - although it was probably something i did.

I think I messed up the redstone on that part, I seem to remember a lot of unnecesary wiring hanging around. I'll make a V1.1 tomorrow. Thanks for the nice comments on the map, glad you enjoyed it

I fixed it up in V1.1, thanks for letting me know. Also, glad you liked it and thank you for the kind words!

i am haveing problims in the frist part and i went into the TARDIS nothing happened

In version 1.1, you start in creative mode. Just thought to say. And the cheats make it easy to....erm....cheat.
Also, it seemed a bit short, but still quite good. Ironically, I was watching Doctor Who half-screen with your map

I've got V1.2 out now in adventure mode, so that should fix that. Thanks for the nice comments.I've got V1.2 out now in adventure mode, so that should fix that. Thanks for the nice comments.

Don't know what's wrong. I switched up the pressure plate in V1.2, maybe that'll work?

It has to be payed in the newest snapshot. There is a command block under there that teleports you to another ship. Sadly the map maker did not put that in the description.

[ColdFusionGaming]

This one's going to be a big hit!

(Since it's Doctor Who and all...)

Well, I have to admit, that was cool. I've actually been looking for a Doctor Who themed adventure map using the new command blocks.

There were a few problems with it, like the ability to trap yourself very easily, lack of mood, cheats, and unfinished areas (or just un-polished), but I think it's a step in the right direction for map-making. Overall it was enjoyable but it could have been much better.

Allons-y!

[drkstrdr]

oooooooooooo thanks MisterL2

I did put that in the description and in the comments

Could you give me some specific feedback so I can improve it? Like where the mood could have been better, and what areas you thought were unpolished?

Okay, here's an in-depth review of all locations. (Spoilers!)

I really liked the Tardis. That has to be the best minecraft version I've seen. However, the library thing above it confused me, and I never did use the lever.

After leaving the Tardis and boarding the ship, if you go to the room on the left there are two spacecraft you can get stuck in very easily. Also, on Level 1, when boarding the pirate ship, it's very easy to fall off the black wool and get stuck there, especially since you're teleported facing the drop as you walk off. Overall, I really liked detail put into the ship.

On the pirate ship, the elevator has visible redstone which I think detracts from the experience a little. The detail on this ship was excellent as well.

However... the Xenon Moon wasn't very good. Sorry. It looks less like a moon, more of a redstone testing flatland. It was a little hard to find the book, because I wandered off and didn't notice it. The cliff faces around the crater should be a little steeper; maybe the crater should go into the ground more. I also like the ship escape, but the lever for the FTL drive was already pressed down when I got there which I thought was a little odd. If it was powered, why wasn't the ship blasting off to space before I arrived?

As you reach the pirate captain, the message "Challenge: Fight the Pirates take the Pirate Captain's Head back to the TARDIS!" doesn't sound very much like the Doctor -- could you imagine him saying that? I killed the pirates anyway, but nothing happened. I like the escape pods.

Throughout the map, there was a little too much running. I know that's all that the Doctor seems to do sometimes, but there should have been at least one thing that the player should have had to stay in one place for. Otherwise, it seems just like a 'walk through this pretty scenery' type of map. Maybe a puzzle of some sort? Also, you might want to do /gamerule commandBlockOutput false, so that you don't hear all the teleport messages going off.

Anyway, great map. I'm not trying to put it down with my criticisms, but it could be an even greater map. I hope you take a few of my suggestions .
