    INFERNO

    What is the Inferno project?

    It is the second largest project ever attempted in minecraft thus far, a 1:1 recreation of Hell. However, it is not simply a cinematic piece of art, it is a playable one. It is a massive minecraft adventure, spanning 12+ maps and countless millions of blocks. In it you will lay waste to each circle of hell, find ancient power, slay archdaemons, and eventually kill Satan himself.

    You are guided in your journey through use of NPC's, Virgil is the one you will see the most. Other familiar names will also come into play, as you descend further.

    The Inferno project consists of Nine Episodes, each one, excluding episode one, having one boss at the end and several minibosses. These episodes come in the form of starter kits, consisting of all the plugins required, mods, and the texture pack, or as standalone maps to be uploaded to your server, so you may continue your journey. You can expect a release date of about one episode every two weeks, give or take, depending on how often me and the Inferno team are able to complete them.

    So without further long winded speech, here is the INFERNO PROJECT!

    NORR


    "A land of cold hidden within a mystery, an enigma of old,
    Of rolling meadows and ominous gallows,
    Of a place of vicious hounds,
    Icebound!"

    ~Anonymous Poem

    Norr is an ambitious project being undertaken at StrictlyAwesome. It is a map and a serverkit. It consists of Four Realms, Icebound, a large Island in the center of Norr, Kaldvind, a forsaken snowy region in the north, that was once the home of the Icebound People, or the Dwarves, The Bog, the what was once the sole home of the "warm men" or Nords, and Dragonsthrone, a vicious region that can only be reached by following the treacherous Pilegrimsleden Sti, or Pilgrim's Path, which can be found in Kaldvind. At the end of Dragonsthrone is a mysterious valley containing the four Dragon temples, the mortal home of the Four Dragon Gods, Gressgronn, Svarthet, Blodavling, and Lys.

    Among other things, the map was built for an intense factions system. Icebound is divided into Four Holds, Fryktetopp, Hoydelander, Vinterventing, and Slettene. Within each of the holds is a capital, forts, barrows, dwarven ruins, and even "map rooms" which will help you locate long lost secrets of this land!

    Norr also comes in two flavors; Vanilla Norr and Sandbox Norr. Sandbox Norr is a blank slate for your server, no lorebooks are scattered, no plugins included beyond ones needed for the server to run, and no "official" server structure. The official Texture Pack is included however.

    Vanilla Norr contains 150 scattered lorebooks detailing the history of Icebound and it's surrounding areas, NPCs, various other plugins, and of course, the official Texture Pack.

    Both editions contain the RuinKit warps, which give you several ruin pieces so you can create custom dungeons!

    Now, enough ranting, it's time for some pictures, yes?

    Green is Slettene.
    Blue is Hoydelander.
    Red is Vinterventing.
    Black is Fryktetopp.
    The purple line marks the entrance into the Frozen North.
    The water around it extends a good 500 or so blocks in each direction, hiding various Isles and Regions.

    Kaldvind, the Dwarven region. It is a land locked within time, it's pipelines still flowing, automatons still waiting, and dragons still nesting. Yes, dragons. There is several dragon shrines and tombs, when activated a dragon will spawn, initiating a fight.

    The Bog
    Kaldvind

    Bad ****ing news.

    The SMP chunk corruption glitch raped Limbo, now we have to rebuild the gate area, Charon's Harbor, and the holy/unholy paths.

    Note that since this was a teaser we didn't set the maps to night/rain, this was mainly just to show off the maps and whatnot so far. Hope you like!

    posted a message on Why hasn't the height limit been raised yet?
    Quote from AndyExE

    it would cause ppl with old computers to lag


    Then make it an option when generating world. Have presets such as: 128(default), 512(tall), 1024(very tall).

    If the height limit can be adjusted in classic, why not the full version?

    OLD THREAD.

    Please do not post in this one. The new thread is in creative, as it fits in there much better than here.

    I, and a few others, have embarked upon the largest project ever attempted in minecraft, 1:1 scale Dante's Inferno. I will continuously update this thread with pictures showing what we have accomplished. The server we are using is StrictlyAwesome, if you wish to come by and look, go ahead. Just mention the Inferno and me or an OP will show you it.

    The IP of the server this is hosted is minecraft.strictlyawesome.com


    UPDATES:

    1/10/12

    After seeing that the project would be better off in creative instead of screenshots, I have moved it.

    1/10/12

    Due to the fact that only me and Guard5002 are working on the project, and that it has little to no recognition I am struggling on whether to continue it or simply stop. I have included a poll, so I guess I'll let you guys decide.


    Starting Area:


    For this area I wanted to give a nod to the poem. Your character, Dante, wakes up in the forest with no memory. He hears a whisper and is told to follow a path.



    Newest pic. This one is not outdated.


    WARNING: OLD PICS ARE OLD.


    The well, side view.


    The well, front view.


    Part of the forest.


    Moar forest.


    Mephisto telling you to enter.


    The well.

    That's it for the starting area.

    Hellgate:

    A massive circle, with stone embedded in the top, representing Upper Hell, and obsidian below representing Lower Hell. You meet Virgil here. Lots of fighting.



    Overlooking the hellgate.



    Cliff path.



    Judas Point, an easter egg :wink.gif:


    Acheron:

    This is seperated into 3 areas. The Vestibule, which is water, high cliffs, and a terrifying maze. You need to locate 3 levers to open the gate between the Vestibule and Charon's Passage.

    The next area, Charon's Passage, is really just Charon's hellport. Please note he is a lot smaller than in the game, but still over 64 blocks long. You must sneak aboard him and solve a few puzzles.

    The next part, Ferryman, takes place when Charon has departed. You make your way to the main deck, Charon notices you and the first boss battle ensues.

    Lets just say you blowup Charon's face and swim to Limbo.


    Overlooking the Vestibule.


    Overlooking Charon's Passage.


    Overlooking Charon.

    Please note that pictures are rather outdated :/

    Limbo:

    The circle starts out with you at the port where Charon disembarks. You start to travel across a massive bridge oever top of a huge ravine, but the bridge collapses. You must then pick a Holy or Unholy chest and began the slow journey to Minos.



    Limbo Entrance.



    First Chapter of Limbo.



    Second Chapter of Limbo.



    A look at the bridges that make up the majority of Into the Blind World.



    Final Chapter of Limbo, before the King Minos boss battle. Note: Blazes. Blazes everywhere.

    Lust:

    Essentially taken from the game. Not much to describe here.

    Gluttony:

    When you first arrive you will be on a cliff overlooking the putrid plain. You will see a network of ravines making their way towards a pit. In the center of the pit lies cerebus, to get past this circle, you must slay cerebus by entering him and ripping apart his stomach, you will then freefall towards greed.

    Greed:

    One of the more visual circles, greed will be a giant gold foundry. No "boss" here.

    Anger:

    A giant swamp with the flaming city of Dis in the horizon. You must solve quite a few puzzles to get to Dis. Whatever you do, do not fall in the water.

    Also, creepers :smile.gif:

    Heresy:

    Much like it is in the poem. Mostly a visual circle, also the entrance to lower hell.

    Violence:

    Almost identical to the game. No boss here though.

    The Malebolge:

    Identical to the game. Expect to fight a lot here. The reason for this is that it's hard enough to get the Citizens plugin working for normal ****, imagine trying to get it to work for the punishments in this circle.

    Treachery:

    A mix between the game and the poem. You will travel through each round of this circle, and at the end you will see Satan, frozen solid in the ice. You will have to solve a puzzle to get Cocytus to open (yay redstone), and when it opens you will be returned to spawn.

    "How are you doing this?!?" You may ask, well, it's a mix of VoxelSniper, manpower, WorldEdit, Citizens, and magic. Mostly magic.

    PROGRESS

    Constructed Starting Area - DONE
    Constructed Hellgate - DONE

    Constructed Limbo - UNDER CONSTRUCTION
