Going through the old CTM maps. First up is Sunburn Island
Thoughts on the map:
Difficulty curve was more like a difficulty rollercoaster. Several dungeons, notably the starter, pirate fleet, hidden leaf, and boat one, were extremely easy even with just the basic gear scavenged up. Several were massively harder, with haunted mines and the frozen tropics under ice one. Both were filled with mobs and the haunted mines used 3 different custom mobs, including the boomers. Overall very weird difficulty, with the 1st dungeon being almost impossible to die in and the 2nd being hard, especially for base materials at that point.
Custom loot: Overall somewhat smooth curve. Never had to worry about food, wood, or coal just from scavenging these, and the pirate fleet contained full diamond gear for a extremely easy day time dungeon. Overall decent and I at least felt at any point in the game looking in the chest was worthwhile.
Overall, fun beginner map. Died once due to the Black Wool dungeons flame Chars but everything else was relatively easy.
this is a cool idea for a map, well done mate. going to enjoy this one!

Gaming For Good! started playing micecraft in beta. Love everything gaming from guides to lol tier list even lets plays. anything that can provide me the ranked boost i need in my gameplay.
So, the server is out and done with for the most part to where people can play the actual thing and have quite a bit of time in it, so is Vechs working on a new Super Hostile map? Or is he waiting a bit?
Gimme a time frame or something
He is resetting Super Hostile Online, so at the moment he's focusing on dungeons for that. He is working on a single player Super Hostile map, but he has paused work on that to work on the Super Hostile Online reset. Once he finishes that, he'll resume work on the Super Hostile map. I don't have an exact time frame for the single player map; for Super Hostile online, he has said the reset will be in about a month. In the mean time, he has a vanilla server he hosts and most of his patrons are playing on that. I hope I answered your question.

Problem with playing maps on current versions: many of the wool chests have vanished, requiring LAN and cheats to complete the map. An example is the pink wool in Infernal Sky, but at least there are two statues right there full of it

A bit late, but I did some research into that problem (disappearing chests) and the reason it happens is that, possibly due to schematics being created in Beta 1.7.3 and earlier, some chests have an invalid data value of 0 (valid values are 2/3/4/5 to determine the direction it's facing) - this problem is also why Nether portals tend to close when upgrading from 1.7 to 1.8 (old portals have data value 0, new ones have 1/2 to determine orientation).
I threw together a very simple MCEdit filter to allow manually setting the data values (since you can't do it directly without destroying the chest's contents) and successfully fixed up a copy of Sea of Flame II for Minecraft 1.11.2, and it probably wouldn't be too difficult to write a single filter which fixes every chest in the map with a single click (though most of them would end up facing the wrong direction, it's better than being nonexistent).
Similar changes might need to be done for furnaces, since they may otherwise lose all of their contents (I personally saw it happen in my Creative world), though I don't know the exact details.
Of course, even after using MCEdit to fix the chests, there's still the problem that loading the map for the first time can easily take a half hour while Minecraft converts all of the chunks (plus additional extreme lag as you explore the map)...

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
I know this is a very old thread but, is there a way to play these with the new minecraft launcher? I've loaded the maps and created a profile of the appropriate version of the game and the save never shows in the load screen. I presume this has to do with the change in anvil format for saves.
(In regard to a mod that gives realistic animal genetics):
Would you really rather have bees that make diamonds and oil with magical genetic blocks?
... did I really ask that?
Guys I'm having the 'missing wool chest' issue on a lot of maps, and it's really anoying! First tried Sea of Flames, then Sunburn Islands. Now doing Lethamyr, and it's really a bummer when you spend a lot of time fighting to the top of a giant tower, only to find an empty glass cage! Meh, hope he updates these fantastic maps!
Yeah, Dahlgren, I ran into that with some of his older maps, as well! There are a couple of things you could do that would work. First, play the maps in a version older than 1.7. I really dislike having to do that, but that fixes the problem. Or you could load the map in 1.5 (for example), then fly around and generate the whole thing, then change the version. More work, but then you could play in a newer version.

Is there an unofficial version of these maps accommodated for Minecraft 1.11?
Almost certainly not.
First, if someone did have such a thing, they could not post it for others without violating copyright laws / Vech's license (at least as I understand it). So it could not be disclosed here.
Second, it would be a major undertaking to rebalance any of the pre-1.9 maps against modern minecraft; even 1.7's changes were significant enough to break the more recent maps. And the ones made for really early minecraft were hopeless even in 125.
Your best bet: The modern launcher lets you play the old versions as the maps were meant to be played.

I'm going back and playing through some of the superhostile maps. I was wondering if anyone who had played them all could help me pick some of the better ones because from what I'm experiencing the quality of the maps really varies between them. I really liked Sea of Flames II and Legendary so I started with Waking Up, but the start is just really hard and it's real dark everywhere. I dunno if it gets better later, but Legendary just had a much better feel to me.
As a general rule, I do not usually post here. But look, I post here today. In particular, I played the first one (Sea of Flames) during the Beta era, but I did not dare to give credit to the creator. But now, thanks for creating this style, Vechs.

Curse PremiumTry this:
1. Make a new directory for the version of minecraft / map you want to play.
2. Set that as the directory for the profile.
3. Run the profile / launch that version of minecraft. Close it.
4. Go back to that directory, and verify that there are folders for the minecraft stuff in there, and that there is a "saves/" directory.
5. Put the maps into that directory.
6. Launch again. See if they are there to play.

My quest to complete all of Vechz' Super Hostile maps in the versions they are meant to be played in starts here.
I'm going back and playing through some of the superhostile maps. I was wondering if anyone who had played them all could help me pick some of the better ones because from what I'm experiencing the quality of the maps really varies between them. I really liked Sea of Flames II and Legendary so I started with Waking Up, but the start is just really hard and it's real dark everywhere. I dunno if it gets better later, but Legendary just had a much better feel to me.
Is there any way I could get the Sea of Flames II map on PS4? If so, it would be greatly appreciated. thank you!
