Solid Weapon [An AC map] by talic07

This is an AC map, and I've never tried the mod before, so I'll probably get a few things wrong in terms of critique - whether they belong to the map or the mod. Anyway, here goes:

This was the most fun I've had in Minecraft for at least 2 months (no joke - still, CUBEception and The Clock tie this one in terms of how much fun they were). I loved the background music and how well it tied in with the atmosphere, along with the mob sounds which thoroughly spooked me. However, they did get annoying after a little while. Another thing the atmosphere had was the efficiency of the elements AdventureCraft offered - pushing and pulling blocks, tnt that you could chuck). Being new to the mod, this map was also a very clean transition. The amazing building structures and block placement throughout the map also made it feel very real.

The custom textures are some of the best I've ever seen - literally. It complimented everything so well, adding to the feel of this amazing adventure. Another thing I really loved was the fact that it said "saving" and that a special sound played every time you reached a checkpoint. Both the mod creator and the map creator, talic07 worked so incredibly hard on this map and I want to congradulate them both. I would love to say more about this, but all the aspects intertwined beautifully to create a web which I am proud to say is one of the best maps I have ever played.

I know I didn't separate this map into sections like I normally do, but I felt this format better suited a map of this quality. Do you agree? Whether you do or not, or would like to say which format you like better in any case, please post below. This is how the armor set works out to be:

Best armor set given yet! Bravo talic07!

Just finished the demo
Although it is short, I thought it was outstanding
It looked amazing, played very smoothly, and was just an overall great experience
I especially like that you had it say "saving..." every time you passed a checkpoint

You should consider adding in custom sound effects for mobs and the checkpoints
It would make it that much better

Overall, I loved it
4/5
Keep it up

Thanks you so much!.
How do you add custom sound effects?. (there is nothing about it in the WIKI)
I got one cool sound for the checkpoint areas.

Replace the Message Block with a Timer Block, connect the Timer Block to the Message Block, then have the Message Block play the sound and say "saving..."
Then on the Timer Block, set "active for" for however long the sound is
The sound file goes into AdventureCraft/maps/"your map"/sound
For mobs, put the sounds in AdventureCraft/maps/"your map"/soundOverrides then rename the file to what the mob is
ie: zombie.ogg, creeper.ogg, etc.

Version 1.0 is up and running!.
I made alot of fixes and changes.
And the map is more longer.
Also added some new screens and change some items names.

PD:
The boss part is a little lame.
Gona change it in future updates.

Kind of cool map you've made, but I am always wondering about those boxes. How the hell you can move them backwards? Everything else is fine, but I can't enjoy it when I don't know how to do that. Could be more interesting to find some shit in other lockers, have more rooms to waste time in. The best part of the game is environment you've maid, but as I'm saying it should be more freedom in it. Agreed with Lahleon's rating and everything else he said.

P.s. I see you have quite an experience in topic writing. Could you explain how to resize pictures, where to put pictures for signature to work and how to make links with custom names. PM me.

A quick map show video is up!.

Thanks.
*How to use the Bionic Glove is in the "Help Area" in the main post.
*The gameplay is aim to be more like an old FPS Wolfenstein type.
*The best way to make a nice topic is to make it clean and not very visually noise.
*The forum auto resize the screenshots.
*And you can change your signature in your profile. (like in any other normal forum)

I am trying to get some computer voice to play when you encounter some problems.
Like: ("Voice: Press Jump for jumping obstacles and stuff... ")

Yes I found out that Bionic/Power Glove can push boxes backwards with +ctrl. That's is quite annoying while I've been doing much box moving strategies only with toward pushes ;P.

thanks i just edited and add some stuff in it.

v2.0 was good

I really like the introduction of Grace
She makes the plot seem more alive

The training room was nice too
A lot better than signs

I recommend making the puzzles a little more complicated as well as improving the boss fight a little
Looking forward to seeing more awesome stuff soon
