Okay, you do that, you still won't get any real challenge from Vechs' mostly broken maps (as of 1.6 I believe more are broken in some ways than aren't). Xekaj here knows how to make a map not only difficult but balanced, there's another thing Vechs has trouble with, compare sandswarm (one wide area spawner) to Lush Ruins (6000 spawners) and tell me which area feels better to play?
Scratch that, and say which area LOOKS better. I mean, Sandswarm is simple, yet very mystical and pretty. Lush Ruins? Oh god, all the pointless foliage and ruins and mossy stone oh god the mossy stone my eyes mommy help me my eyes are bleeding oh it hurts is that redstone really are you seriously doing this nightmare realm looked better than this
I'm sorry, but Lush Ruins just seems really generic. Sure, it's massive and stuff, but there's way too many ruin areas in CTM maps these days. I can't really talk, as an area in my upcoming map is based around that, but Vechs is a much more talented map maker and could have EASILY made a much better area.
Maybe back in beta 1.4 he was. But maps need to move with the times, people like Xek and Amlup will always have the edge now.
But anyway, let's not clog up Xekaj's thread with chatter about Vechs.
Well. I was comparing him to me, but ok.
Anyways, now that Kajex has left us all to fend for ourselves, who wants to break into SONG?
I'm assuming that sneak peak picture is from Sync, and if so it looks... strange. I can't tell if it's unique or really generic. The area looks nice, an underground city is always exciting, but I was expecting some kind of symmetrical fortress with strange patterns and lava and prettiness. Ah well, can't wait to see what it holds when I play it!
To be honest it seems like you copied the ideas from Vechz after i played a map and its not really difficult as you say so i'm going back to super hostile
Look, you don't come right here, make your first post on this thread by saying stuff like "OMG this map suckz you suckz everything here suckz but vechs is awesomez". You barely even played one or two maps, what authority do you have to comment like this? You can't even spell Vechs right.
I can't believe I've been away from this thread from such a long time. Another hater has arrived, already?

A wild Hater appeared! Go, Intelligence!
Hater used Whiny Fanboy Comment! It's not very effective....

Oh no. Quagmire with twice the ingenuity? How dare you even suggest.....
I'm all for it. Maybe one weapon could give you Knockback Resist and Slowness, while another gives you Speed and Weakness. Just a thought.
? I get the reference, but don't understand what you are hinting at. Although a hater defense community would be great, because it seems there are like two people on this thread stopping them.
Quagmire Jungle I was awesome with that balance of difficulty and strategic gameplay elements (you could get each wool in at least three different ways). I definitely want QJII.

I'm hinting at the fact that every time a fanboy starts raging about a new and better map series, they always shut right up and go sulk in a corner when you bring up basic facts. Name ONE time that a person like that hasn't just rage quit when you say "But does Vechs listen to you when you post?" That was the point of that.
Real men got both wool with nothing but their bare hands and no armor. I've still yet to be able to do that however, so....... I recall the best strategy was to get wood tools, food, and use all the armor while still having a weapon. Took me 3 attempts to do it, mostly because of the skelles shooting me off the trees.
So, Fog of Demise 2 is broken for me. Whenever I try to start the map, I get the potion effects and items, and then die from fall damage when get teleported in.

No, that's the whole map. The objective is to fall and somehow survive. Now do you understand the true nature of these maps?
But seriously, I had that happen before as well. Try playing in a Vanilla .jar of 1.5.2, as that's what the map was made in. If that doesn't work, re-install it and try again.

Thanks, I was having the same problem. I had even went and recorded it so that people wouldn't say, «You're just posting that because you're a nub and can't beat the map so you are jealous and blame it on Xekaj.» I guess it wasn't necessary. Derpy Swifty.

Yea, some people on this forum don't understand the meaning of "Community". If you can't act like a normal human being whenever somebody asks for help, you shouldn't be here.
Anyways, my training for Sync is going well. I've taken down 4 ROM-Hack Hard CTM maps since vowing to beat Sync, and I'm feeling rather confident. Of course, If I want to even come close to beating Sync I'll need a LOT more practice, so that should be fun. Maybe I'll set restrictions on myself for certain maps or something. No Armor Challenge? No Torches Challenge? No Food Challenge? Hmm..... We'll have to see. Anyways, how's Advent #25 coming along? I mean, TECHNICALLY it's about 8 months late, but aside from that I'm curious about objectives placed and stuff like that. I don't want to rush you, but I'm rather curious.
Xek, are you on hiatus again? Are you even... alive? *voice breaks*
Anyways, not to rush, but we haven't quite heard anything for the past month or so. Are you waiting for us to figure out the scroll of fireball summoning first?

I think he said something about it being a full blown CTM..... however I'm not sure

Breaking News: Minecraft Map Maker "Xekaj" Found Dead.
"Xekaj", as he called himself, was the author of a Custom Map Series by the name of "Zero Mercy" for the Indie Game "Minecraft". However, he was found dead on his computer this evening. Nobody knows why he was killed, but a note was found over his stab wound saying, "vaks is bettur". Detectives think this is some kind of code, but they are having no luck deciphering it. More on this later.

So can you craft and place and destroy ender chests? Just wondering now thats pretty much an official CTM rule. (or at least a lot of them are using it, such as Amplup and Vechs
I use a different rule. Do not store any objective items in Ender Chests placed by players.
I personally would rather players not use them at all. I find it more fun to set up elaborate rail lines and transport stuff that way. I'd probably give out Ender Chests in easier maps, but if it's ROM-Hack Hard or higher I'm not handing them to you. Also, players are only allowed to use ones I place anyways, so I can control what they do with them.

Of course, you're assuming you can even get the resources for said ender chest. But I think it's better to clarify with Xek himself (if he's alive, that is), because you never know.

Its not going to be a full ctm, Last time me and xek talked in Skype I asked about it, He just wants it to be something good and he keeps scraping them because there not good enough, Atleast that's what I remember
