Centhra's Dueling



Introduction
Dueling is an extensive system based around 1v1 combat.  A Duel takes place in a randomly picked map based on the chosen weapon.  Players can build these maps in build sessions, minigames designated for building.  Duels are started when someone accepts a challenge or boast proposed by another player.

A client mod is required to interact on this server.

Purpose
Dueling was created to provide a fair deathmatching experience to people of all skill levels while maintaining that old-fashioned competitive spirit.

Details & Rules - Please read before playing.
  • Building
    • Saves are limited to 2000 bricks.
    • Submitted saves are reviewed by admins periodically, but not instantly.
    • Don't ask admins to review your submissions, they will do it on their own time.
    • Your map must have:
      • A decent name
      • At least 2 spawn points for the duelists, with no rendering/raycasting/collision
      • A fairly organized setting with no advantage to each duelist
      • Boundaries to keep the duelists inside the build
      • No unfair exploits or secret features other than easter eggs
    • Build Sessions are just minigames, meaning you can do anything you desire.
    • You can invite people to your Build Session through the player list (F2).
    • Other players need Build Trust to build in your Build Session.
  • Challenging
    • You can only challenge a player who has the client and isn't building/fighting.
