Hello fellow Minecrafters! I've been working on a server lately that will have both factions and RP theme and everything is mostly ready..
Now what I need is a map. A quite unique map infact, so I painted my own map and combined them from movies and real life themes to get 4 different "lands" for people to start, expand and live in.. I need a skilled mapper to create a map that is generated in PRE4 so that it will be mostly compatible with full release of MC and has most of the features needed for the full release.
I'll be paying 20-40$ via paypal when the project is done.
some criterias:
- The landscape must look as natural as possible
- You don't have to make the fjords and other things exactly like it is in my poorly made painting.. try to make it similar but if you think something will be better another way just do it as long as it isn't WAY off the chart.
- Map will not be released public, only sent to me with a private link
- the Scale of the map is quite important, it have to be quite big, i was thinking maybe 500-1000 blocks from the red spawnpoint to the
Island in the ocean
- the reward may even go higher if the work is making me very impressed (I don't know how skilled people are but my expectations are quite neutral or medium i'd say)
the brown spot is where the mountain in the background will be, where the castle of rohan is built, there should be nothing on it but try to make it similar.
for the entrance to helms deep like valley it will look like this:
it's not a good picture but if you find any better of helms deep just look at the mountainside and stuff, try to make it similar
I'm not very much interested in a desert, i'm not much of a designer with map tools so I don't know how similar you can make the ground look.
now for the bottom part
The ocean will be quite huge, with few to none islands except from the Sado island that is black, i'll post a detailed map off it so that you can get the basic design right so that the island looks just like the map.. the landscape on the island itself will be flat and green area with trees and such on the northwest side, and mountainous area with some valleys and stuff on the southeast part of the island.. here's some pictures:
the rest is up to you, just think about the stuff I said, also.. the edges of the ocean must be natural, not a sudden 20 block drop into the sea around the different lands..
now for the left part:
This area will be like norwegian fjords and the area should be a snow biome, the fjords are painted and the dark grey area will be mountains and the white in the back will be lower lands and a bit more flat, there are also two areas within the fjords that are white which will also be flatlands down with the sea..
now for the top area.. this one is a bit special...
the black thick circle is a chasm/rift/canyon like thing.. the "story" is that some terrible force teared the land apart and it was disconnected from the surroundings while the rest of the land was sucked into the void. the rift will be like 40-70 blocks wide and has to be all the way to bedrock, there will also be a 3-4 block thick lava layer all the way around at the bottom so that you can't walk across.. The sides of the rift will be quite steep and unclimbable without block jumping but still look natural.
the land inside the rift will consist from parts of the rohan and norwegian like area with some parts of the spawn land with forest, I guess it would be easiest to just make the land first and just make the rift around later and take some parts off each in with it, as you can see there's some mountains in the left side, some tundra like in the right and forest at bottom, the rest of the land will be just normal area, a bit flat with some small mountains etc.. this can be naturally generated (the light green area of the top part)
that's pretty much it, if you have any further questions I'll answer them as best as I can.
yea, I'll give it a shot. I will make a rough mock up hopefully today, and you can let me know what you want altered. Do you want anything under the ground?
WOA! great to see so many replies, thanks for showing interest, underground isn't very important except from a few large gold veins somewhere on the island.
Just add details and stuff if you want, the area is just roughly painted so there's still much you can do to make it look good, buildings and stuff from the pictures are not to be added
this is ONLY THE LANDSCAPE! since the server will be a RP non cheating server where spawning items and stuff is not legal :tongue.gif:
Well, everyone can attend, me and some friends will choose the winner when everyone is done, maybe some support prices will be given too if there are many great contributions!
Map will be handed to me and I will possibly release it later when it has been on my server for a little while
Ok I really like your idea, I will be willing to work for free on your "Helms Deep" area or the tundra and i will defenatly be able to meet your expectations. Message me if you are willing to accept my aplication and i hope i will be of good use to you.

Thanks for your offer, the idea in the start was to just pick one man/team to do the job but I got so many applications the first minutes that I just thought that everyone can start with the project if they want and post their progress, me and some friends that are managing the server will look at the work of everyone and decide which one we like the most and reward the best player ^^
we're also thinking about a second and third "place" too as we don't want everyone to go empty handed for working on such project but we'll see.. maybe some high rank on our server, a minecraft copy or the rights to own one of the lands in the server will be a reward.. we don't know yet :smile.gif:
Well, im gonna start a new world and build my idea of the land scape for you and take some before and after screenshots and post them when im done so dont lose hope.

I'm quite eager to see what you guys are making, if you have just half of the creativity of people I've seen in minecraft I'm gonna get a hearth attack, the community of Minecraft is one of the most incredible communities I have ever met when it comes to creativity :smile.gif:
Hmm.. It's about 10-11cm from the spawn to the island. That's around 100 blocks per cm.
Thanks!
if have not already made it yet, could the island be atleast 300x300 or so? I see now after some building in creative that the stuff I've planned for the map is too big for the scale i set :smile.gif:
How can I contact you? I'll do it for free. I'm might be a beginner but believe me, I'm creative and I can do a lot of cool stuff with redstone. Please let me in. And you should have sneakpeak at my thrilling adventure map, it's like a console game.

You can try if you want :tongue.gif: the people who are working on it now are probably using MCedit or some other mapping program as this will be the layout map for an RP Server, no structures or anything are gonna be in the map. It's just the landscape..
People will be able to chose one of the 4 lands to live in and they can build their own cities and stuff but they'll have to live like vikings, rohirrim or japanese and make structures like it etc
Very cool idea, but I have an idea. What about a leftover? From the past civilization. What do you think? and how can I contact you, Y!M?
I mean the host guy, not you Snaggy, sorry

I'll start right off with the features:
this is the map I had in mind
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/545/themape.png/
I will explain and show what I had in mind for the different areas, i'll start to the right with a ROHAN like landscape
The yellow like area will be close to this with open terrain, small bushes and just tiny height variations of like 5-10 blocks

the brown spot is where the mountain in the background will be, where the castle of rohan is built, there should be nothing on it but try to make it similar.
for the entrance to helms deep like valley it will look like this:

the dark brown area will be like the mountains in the picture
In the end of the valley the landscape will look like this:

it's not a good picture but if you find any better of helms deep just look at the mountainside and stuff, try to make it similar

I was thinking something like 800 blocks from the red dot to the island.. :tongue.gif: dunno how much that is per CM but it's quite a bit
I will if I need one :tongue.gif:
