Hm, a general question to everyone - how do you play these maps, control wise? Do you have some sort of fancy mouse or have your keyboard set up to take advantage of hotkeys, or do you just use the scroll wheel on your mouse to select tools on your hotbar?

I personally just use the scroll wheel, but I also have my controls set up focused around the arrow keys for movement (right control is jump, right shift is sneak, etc), so I can't really use number hotkeys due to that, either.

I always play with a specific setup on my hotbar:
Pickaxe, Sword, Bow, Battlesign, Building Block, Misc Slot, Healing Item, Food, Light Source. If I'm lacking anything I'll use the other empty spaces like misc spaces. Pretty much geared toward the inevitability of my panic attacks and having to go into my inventory as little as possible.

Vechs, you've trapped everything I know and love in Kaizo Caverns. ;~;

I spend most of this episode scared out of my pants:

Also, sorry for the double post, but Vechs, I have to warn you that some people can't play maps with too many cobwebs in one area; it gives about the same effect as Fancy Trees in Canopy Carnage.. Except you can't turn it off.

Another wool got in Lethamyr!
It's been a while since I last died... Could it be I'm really improving?

I use the default controls, but my inventory is set to B (because that's what I got used to after playing "Classic" back in Alpha). I use the scroll wheel because I'm always worried that I'll hit the wrong number and accidentally, oh I don't know, cover myself in lava while trying to eat DA MUSHROOM SOUP, DAMMIT! Also, my hotbar is usually set up in this order: Lighting, pick, sword, shovel, bow, blocks, food, anything else (potions, etc.) This setup works for me because lighting is usually my first priority. Yeah. Indeed.

I do: Sword, light source, pick, block, food, shovel, misc(usually potion), misc(usually potion), bow. I usually run around with the sword out, easy switching to a light when I need to, or a bow when I need to. I rarely use the scroll wheel(too GLITCHY), I just use the 1-9 keys.

Who knows, maybe ghasts and cobwebs will be like Sodium and Chlorine, and they cancel eachothers effects out?

I like you and the way you think.

Get used to it. I'm still waiting for replies on several of my previous posts. That being said, no one really knows what this is a picture of, except for Vechs, and clearly he doesn't feel like telling us.

Yeah... sorry. Posts at the bottom of the page tend to get ignored, or if the post is a really stupid question which, to most of us thread frequenters, has a fairly obvious answer.

Quote from Vechs

So this is obviously form NOCHYS... but we still don't know if the first one was... BTW, I love the blocks you used. Endstone, cobble, and Obsidian... not a bad combination.

Quote from Hybran

Have fun. -Love, Cave Spiders.

The perfect response.

Quote from Vechs

I like it! Could easily make the same thing even stealthier by just use a simple proximity detector, but I'll probably use some tripwires here and there just to use them. What I'm really wondering is if there are any mechanisms that would be unique to tripwires. That is, things you can make using tripwires that you could not possibly make any other way.

That depends. Does anyone know any one-block wide, one-tick, toggleable from the front or back, infinitely repeatable (In a line or a zigzag) redstone clocks?

Quote from Portalationator

Oh wow.... lol Well thanks for answering to me I guess... and what are the Inferno Mines? Someone said Inferno Mines in the page before this I think and I want to know what they are.

It's the next Super Hostile map. See Vechs's Youtube page.

Wrong comic dude.

I meant in general

Quote from AxlRosie

Haha, shame on me changing my mind and mutilating my own post for it to look more primitive, only after you quoted it. XD

Also-

I couldn't resist again. |D
Jokes aside, you guys are too kind and make me blush!

you make us lol so much. You deserve it

Quote from Hybran

I want to see how you can accomplish non-renewable food (or close to). The concept of Insomniac is also interesting...it leaves open a few choices for the player.

1. Stay in 1x2 dirt hole all night.
2. Bridge to other houses during the night.
3. Scavenge the grounds, however mob-infested.
4. Go into dungeons.
5. Circle the island and explore via boat or stay on shorelines.

Also, I love AnotherMinecraftLP's Banner. Me gusta.

2,3, & 4 for me

hey Vechs, i have a question: is it OK if i make my own spin-off of the Super Hostile Series? Its pretty much a calmer, less intense version of the SH Series. Here's basicly what the rules will be:

1. find/complete the Victory Monument. (instead of all the wools, theres only going to be, say, 6-8 to find, and MAYBE the Ore Blocks, i haven't decided yet)

2. dont leave the map boundries. (duh)

3. survive in any way you can think of.

4. you can't destroy spawners.

please reply soon, im going to start experimenting with map ideas after i post this.

4th rule sucks. I wouldn't obey it honestly, the great thing about the SH maps is that they are pretty much open-ended, and you're allowed to (rule 3!) survive in any way you can think of.

I don't want to spoil anything, but if you're having trouble fighting hordes of mobs at once, just watch how vechs gets it done...

Quick story from my latest session of Lethamyr.

Managed to get my wheat farm, melon farm, and pumpkin farms dug out and planted as best as I can, so I decided to start working on my animal pens and herding animals into them. My plan was 1 building for wolves, 1 for cows, 1 for chickens, 1 for pigs.

I didn't encounter any issues until I started trying to herd pigs into their building. Mother of god.

To start with, I knew there were a number of pigs nearby (unlike the cows, which I had to scour the forest to find), so I went out and gathered them all (4 in total). Then came trying to herd them across my bridge (all four buildings are built into the lake, so I extended the existing bridge out to them.

Almost immediately, they were going underneath the bridge, and almost drowning. Cursing most of the time, I managed to get one of them inside of their building...

... Only to hear two of them start drowning and die. Now I'm down to two.

After building steps up so the last one could get onto the bridge without derp jumping and going under it (even then, it took a few tries because it kept hopping off the step and going under the bridge for some ungodly reason), I managed to get the last one inside. Then I tried breeding them so I can start building up the numbers a bit.

Cue having the piglet spawn inside of the wall and suffocate. I must have the unluckiest farm animals in existance, because suffocation deaths seem to happen a hell of a lot to me >.>

On the bright side, I used the raw pork from the drowned pigs to breed my two wolves, so I'm up to three of those. Now I just need to build the rest of the pig and chicken buildings (in other words, walls and a roof to go over the ring that forms the pit they're trapped in), and I'm done with that.

Fake Edit: 2nd attempt at breeding the pigs was successful, thankfully. Up to three pigs, for now. Now to lava bucket some cows for food...

I do: Sword, light source, pick, block, food, shovel, misc(usually potion), misc(usually potion), bow. I usually run around with the sword out, easy switching to a light when I need to, or a bow when I need to. I rarely use the scroll wheel(too GLITCHY), I just use the 1-9 keys.

I use Bow, Sword, Torch, Pick, Shovel/misc, Misc/food, Lava Bucket/misc, Water Bucket/misc, gravel/sand, solid block.

I change the misc slots depending on what i am doing, whether building or fighting or mining.

My misc slots are normally enderpearls, potions, more blocks or... well anything really.

I have it this way because i want my weapons the easiest to get to in case, then i have it to where i can switch from my pick to my sword easy and switch to sword or pick to torch easy (for caving/fighting or mining). blocks are easy to get to from sword and fairly easy to get to from pick.

My current loadout as of 20 minutes ago for Waking Up:

Pick
Sword
Ender Pearls
Torches
Speed II Splash Potion
Speed II Splash Potion
Speed II Splash Potion
Speed II Splash Potion
Speed II Splash Potion


I want to test this so badly :S

Just dropping by to thank everyone who joined the stream.
It's been a while since I had such a great time. XD

Next time I'll draw something Minecraft related too, so more people would like to join. :3

Why, we got something constructive done, didn't we?

Except the pony. That was terrifying.

Vechs is taunting me. But I will kill all those bruces to get my lovely potions.

This is an awesome map series
I love to play it and I think you should keep up the amazing work!

I'm sure there are those who disagree.

Of course, it could have done with more sparkles. You can never have enough sparkles.
