Quote of the week: WHAT THE FUDGE, VECHS?! WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT?!

News:

Just a little something I made for Paul Soares Jr. Punchwood Island Plus - it's a survival island style map. Click here to download.

Waking Up (a CTM map I made for Andi B.) is ready for a "sneak peek" release! The official release will coincide with Minecraft 1.3, but for those of you who don't mind using the weekly snapshot build, you can play the map now.

Also check out Joe Hills playing it:



Super Docile #02 - Canopy Basic has been released, you can download it here.

When I'm not doing Minecraft stuff, one other game I enjoy is League of Legends. It's totally free to play (and it's not "pay to win", you are 100% effective without spending any money). You can PVP, or relax and take on computer opponents with your friends.

Check out my Developer Commentary of Spellbound Caves on YouTube.

Vechs presents a new map series...

Have you ever been playing Minecraft and said to yourself "Man, I wish this could be harder... I haven't died nearly enough today."? In the spirit of I Wanna Be the Guy and Kaizo Mario World, these game maps will be very difficult. It could be low amounts of a critical resource, or deviously placed monster spawners, traps, or just general dickery on my part, I want to take the normal Minecraft experience and really put pressure on the player.

The main objective of my maps is to find and complete the Victory Monument. This is a structure with slots on it for blocks. To win a Super Hostile map, you must place each of the requested blocks in the appropriate slot on the Victory Monument. There are 16 colors of wool blocks to find, and also the 3 material blocks, of iron, gold, and diamond.

Super Hostile Standard Rules:

1) Find and complete the Victory Monument.
2) Find wool in chests scattered around the map, do NOT use dyes or spider string for wools!
3) You may craft the Iron, Gold, and Diamond blocks.
4) Use at least Easy difficulty, and never Peaceful. (I balance around Normal.)
5) Do not leave the boundaries of the map and go into normally generated Minecraft terrain.
6) Survive in any way you can think of. (Yes, you can mine, craft, and place blocks.)
7) You may use spider string wool and sheep wool to craft beds and other items, but not for the Victory Monument.
8) I hate you, die in a fire.

For the most part, Super Hostile is like playing Minecraft normally, but it's more difficult and you have a long-term goal to work towards. Also you may find yourself in some unusual terrain. Oh, and the map is designed to kill you, so keep that in mind.

Super Hostile Special Rules:

These rules may or may not be present on a map. If they are present, there will be an additional rules sign clearly labeled with them. (Not to be confused with the Variant letters of maps.)

A- Insomniac - You may not use beds, ever. You have to endure the nights.
B- Carnivore - You may only eat meat. (Includes zombie flesh.)
C- Vegetarian - You may only eat plants. (Includes mushrooms and bread.)
D- Jackie Chan - You may not use swords or bows in combat. (You better improvise...)

Super Hostile Respawn Ratings:

Easy - You can die and respawn over and over, forever, without penalty.
Medium - If you die without having a bed spawn set, it's GAME OVER. Guard your bed!
Hard - If you die, it's GAME OVER. A true Super Hostile experience.

Super Hostile Community Challenge Ratings:

A numerical rating from one to five, which reflects how the Minecraft community gauges the challenge of a particular map. One is easiest, while five is hardest. I will try to take the average of at least 500 votes from forum members.

Minecraft Mods and Super Hostile:

I balance around vanilla Minecraft, and mods that impact the gameplay are technically cheating.

However, there are some mods that are fine for you to use:
- Mods that let you chop trees at the base (Like Terraria trees)
- Mods that make Endermen not pick up blocks.
- Mods that make your hand-held torch give light. (Should be part of the vanilla game, IMHO.)
- Mods that don't affect the gameplay. (Graphic tweaks, UI tweaks, etc.)

Super Hostile Original Soundtracks:
Some of these maps include theme music by Kevin MacLeod.
(Play it in the background with your choice of media player, if you want to.)

So, without further ado, let's get on to the maps!

SUPER HOSTILE #00
HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT TRAINING

Current version: 1.1
Download

This is... not a Super Hostile map at all! This is a training map, intended to give the casual Minecraft player a (small) chance at lasting for more than a few minutes in my actual Super Hostile maps.

Currently it only has a few training areas, but future versions will add things to the training course. If you are a veteran player, and you have a suggestion for a training area that I should add to the map, let me know!

Sea of Flame II is a remake of the first map of the series, which was showing its' age, and really needed an update. Sea of Flame II contains all new locations and areas, and will be great fun for new people to the series, and also Super Hostile veterans.

FALLEN KINGDOM

Current version: This map is under construction.

This map is currently under construction. Endless Deep used to occupy the #2 slot of Super Hostile, however I want to give that spot to my upcoming Fallen Kingdom map. Instead, Endless Deep will have the #2 spot on my Mini Hostile series, and be a shorter map taking place in an underwater fortress.

Fallen Kingdom will be a difficult urban-themed survival/scavenging map taking place in a medieval city-state. You are the sole survivor, and the city is overrun with monsters. Managing your hunger and your resources will be critical. I want this map to be a truly super hostile experience.

INFERNAL SKY II

This map is a network of linked underground caverns. The map takes place entirely underground, and the whole thing is wrapped in a giant cube of bedrock (no escape!) This was the first map of the series where I introduced the Victory Monument goal system. To me, it has a very "Super Metroid" or "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" feel to it.

Lost in a hell of sand and darkness, your only salvation are oases of light. This is a desert themed Super Hostile survival map. There is much more to this map than just desert though, so explore everywhere! Good luck surviving, and good luck finding and completing the Victory Monument!

SUPER HOSTILE #08
NIGHTMARE REALM

Community Challenge Rating: 4.16

Current version: 3.0
Download

Note: This map is not compatible with SMP.

A dark, brutal world of nothing but despair. Voted for and requested by the community, this map starts out brutal and stays that way. Unlike Legendary, in which the difficulty gradually increased the farther you got into the map, Nightmare Realm is the real deal from the very second you load into the map.

What will be your high score? (You'll never actually complete the monument...)

The map reminds me a little of the old NES Megaman games. Your spawning area is a central hub, from which you can access the other areas of the map, which surround it. There are many paths and routes you could take from the start, and don't be afraid to unzip fresh copies of the map to try a new starting strategy.

Oh man, things have been rough for awhile. Are you tired of dying every 5 seconds? Do feel like you need a vacation? Do you need your hot heart chilled with a cool island song? Oh no wait, I mean... cool heart warmed with a hot island song? Or was it... Bah, whatever.

Sunburn Islands is a relaxing (For a SH map, anyway) challenge suitable for weary veterans and fragile newbies to the Super Hostile series.

This is the first Super Hostile map to use a Continental style. This type of map focuses on travelling and exploration, across a large continent with expansive, realistic-scale biomes.

This map features shuffling, of chests, spawners, and the Victory Monument. Each letter variant (a, b, c, and d) is the same, but the loot chests and spawners have been randomized. The Victory Monument is also in a different location in each variant. Now, if you are watching a LP of one variant, you can play another and have a different experience.

Vexed Native mod for Mount and Blade: Warband
Current version: 1.1
Download Here

Vechs' personal mod for Mount and Blade: Warband. This mod is aimed at making the game a bit less grindy, and tweaking some aspects of the game that were frustrating. The most popular changes include making Tavern keepers function as Ransom Brokers, so you don't have run around looking for a Ransom Broker, increasing the ammunition count for throwing weapons so that they are more useful, changing the faction colors to look nicer, and be easier to read, letting your army continue to fight if you get knocked out, being able to start a conversation with Village Elders and Guild Masters directly from the map, instead of having to run around in a city/village and physically finding them, and making cattle follow you instead of you having to "chase" them to guide them. Click Spoilers for a full list of what this mod changes.

Vexed Native
v1.1

for Mountain Blade: Warband

by Vechs

Special thanks to TweakMB!

Features / Changes:


Cattle behavior - Cattle follow you (instead of you having to "push" cattle by moving behind them)


Faction colors - Slightly tweaked faction colors; bandits, deserters, manhunters, and the players faction now use previously unused colors -- should be easier to tell them appart now.


Food - Troops eat food every 12 hours instead of every 14; 10 troops are fed by 1 unit of food instead of 3. Should now be easy to calculate exactly how long your food will last.


Merchants - Merchants will have more money available for trading


Tavern Mercenaries - You can now hire larger batches of mercenary troops


Troop wages - Slightly reduced wage multiplier applied to cavalry (140%, down from 166%), greatly reduced multiplier applied to mercenary troops (110% down from 150%). Mecenary Cavalry units should now actually be somewhat affordable to use. (The wage penalties stacked...)


Books - Roughly doubled the speed at which you read books.


Stat loss - Disabled stat loss for very long games (Who wants a character that grows old and feeble?) You will still recieve a stat loss message, but you don't actually lose anything.


Right to Rule - Slighty increased how quickly you gain right to rule; Doubled the RtR you gain from having another monarch recognize you as a king


Tournaments - Increased amount of money you can bet on tournaments. Winning a tournament now gives more renown, town relation, and experience.


Ammunition - Increased maximum ammunition -- Typical arrow and bolt bags hold 60 shots; Throwing weapon ammo also increased, from 50 to 20, depending on the size, weight and power of the throwing weapon. (Example : you can carry more throwing knives than you can throwing spears)


Battles - If you are knocked out in a battle, you now have the option to "spectate" as your troops keep fighting (Well, okay, it's more like lying on the ground in a stupor). You can press TAB to end the battle immediatly, or wait to see if your troops win.


Battle reinforcements - Troops for the attacker and defender will arrive sooner (Arrival at 10/12 troops remaining, up from 6/8)


Fief Income - Increases fief income -- you should be able to have a decent garrison and still make some profit


Tax Inefficiency - Increased the numbers of settlements you can own before the tax inefficiency kicks in (10 with poor ai, 8 with average ai, 6 with good ai); Lowered the maximum possible penatly (25%
penalty, down from 65% penalty)


Enterprises - Slightly increased profits margins by lowering labor costs (20 to 100 denar per week, depending on business), Slightly expanded tolerance of business construction (-2 relation, from 0)


Honor - Increased honor gained by refusing rewards (Thanks, but I'm just doing my job! *rides off into sunset*)


Party size - Increased base party size (30, up from 10); Leadership grants more party size per point (10, up from 5); Reduced renown required to increased party size (10 per slot, down from 25 per slot); Lords now also will be able to field larger armies, so don't get too cocky!


Bandits - Bandit parties are much more chaotic (Increased party size range, they can anything from tiny groups of a few men, up to giant raiding parties of up to 250 men. Don't worry, 250 looters are quite slow. )


Manhunters - Increased minimum party size for manhunters. Now maybe they won't get totally crushed as often...)


Companions - Companions no longer will leave your party if they become unhappy. They will still complain, but they will never leave. Now you can assemble the party you always wanted!


Morale - Removed morale penalty for having heroes in your party. (Was 1 per hero, now is 0. It made no sense at all, especially considering some heroes like Kharin, Jeremus, or Nizar would do various things to lift the spirits of an army-- camp management, wound treatment, and inspiring stories, for example.)


Captured nobles - Lowered chances of them escaping from your captivity (In party, in garrison, and in garrison with prison tower.); Factions will be a bit quicker in offering ransoms for their captured lords.


Prisoners - Each point of PM lets you have 10 prisoners (Up from 5.); You can attempt to recruit prisoners more often (Every 6 hours, down from 24); Recruiting prisoners no longer has a negative effect on morale (The factions declare peace and make war every other week for no reason at all (they do it for the lulz) so the common soldiers probably don't care what banner they fly, as long as they get their paychecks on time...); Recruiting prisoners is much easier for characters with higher persuasion skills (100% chance at Persuasion 6)


Ransom Brokers - Tavern keepers are now ransom brokers, in addition to their normal trade. (Favorite change, ever. I HATED running around for a week and not being able to find a broker anywhere.)


Village Elders / Guild Masters - Added an option from the settlement interface to speak directly with these people (You don't have to manually walk around the settlement and find them first.)


Politics - All the other lords won't get so butthurt when you assign a fief to a lord (Max Relation penalty set to -1, up from -5). Max Relation bonus set to 5, up from 2.; Increased relations rewards for town and village quests (includes buying everyone a round of drinks.); Declining quests will not result in lost reputation. (Always thought it was annoying that you could lose rep just for asking what the quest was...)


Engineering / Improvements - Improvements build faster; high engineering skill will give you noticable better discounts / build times; Schools give more relation every month (2, up from 1); Watch towers see slighty farther and they increase the time it takes for your village to be looted (300% normal loot time, up from 150%); Settlements do not lose as much prospererity for being involved in combat.


Troop Recruitment - Increased the amount of troops you can recruit from villages. Having higher relations with a village will now noticably improve both the amount AND quality of recruits you can obtain.

Awesome , but can you zip this ?
I can't use a "Z fichier". D:

I'm stupid.

Try this, it's free and it beats the built-in Windows zip functionality

http://www.7-zip.org/

Who to use the Z fichier ? :x
Edit : Oh , i found. Thanks.

[Moonster]

could you make a video on how you make these maps? cause i suck at Mcedit, and would really like to see you do stuff like that, sorta like a speed paint video

[User]

Could I love you in a manly way?

these are EPIC... and well this would be sweet with 2 players:) LOL LOL ohh the joys of tring to work together:)

Even two players would still find the dungeon labyrinth beneath the Sea of Flame a challenge, go for it!

Ummm... next comment!

Oh... umm... maybe? Eventually? I know people have asked me to make a guide for how I make my schematics too. I've never actually made a tutorial video before... I'd have to think about how to go about it.

[Zisteau]

I can vouch for the evil nature of these maps from first hand experience. There is some nasty stuff just under the surface that I've found in Sea of Flame.

[Ludolik]

I found a epic secret in the floating island.

Damn! That was fast... Congrats!

[malanius]

I both love and hate your creations, so much fun.

[tchic777]

Thats Amazing!!!!!
I'll try them as you always make great maps of what Ive seen.
I'd like to do this as SMP as usual (I love SMP)

Edit: Little did I know how popular Vechs would become.
Also, I had no idea about how cool Zisteau was back one year ago :l

I think Sea of Fire... It's a bit easy to get all the grass/dirt/mushrooms and stuff. In my opinion.

But rabbit holes 1 and 2 are a pain in the ack, if you get my meaning.

[romar]

Fire, water, air... now all you need is an entirely underground map (EARTH!) with bedrock ceiling at build limit, regular bedrock floor and bedrock walls (large enough of course to be plenty fun). Sort of like the nether, but without the nether fog, blocks & lava.

The 4 basic western elements!

[MaceInTheFace]

Also, my favorite wuote from Sea of Flame:

"Sometimes you just luck out and get free stuff."

[mrgillski]

i freaking love all three of them they are beast i like the eye of the tiger reference in the sky one

[tchic777]

I got trolled mining iron on the sky one...
No more trees or planted saplings so I had to quit and Im trying lava soon

Great maps! Keep up the good work.

There is a second tree in The Infernal Sky, so you have a second source of saplings...

But you'll have to do some searching for it. I'm sure pigs will fly before you find it!

See it's funny, because I pour a lot of love and hate into making these maps.

My very first iteration of The Sea of Flame was mercilessly difficult, so I tried to scale back just a bit - there is a fine line between an enjoyably difficult challenge and masochistic frustration. But if you get cocky, you can always go... down. >

Climbing up that hill feels like crossing a finish line, and as I play-tested it that song kept popping into my head.

If you've seen my videos you know I edit out any downtime or boring stuff...this video I think I edited out a total of 20 seconds total. I am on edge at all times while playing this map. Really a ton of fun.
