[Discussion] Dogfight Server Builds, post-v21
(1/5) > >>
Greek2me:
Dogfight servers, in my opinion, can be some of the most fun, diverse, and team-building servers in the game. The first Blockland server I ever joined was the ScatteredSpace Dogfight (Wizard's) and I've been hooked since then. That server is gone now, because of the removal of terrain, but I don't want dogfight servers to become a thing of the past.

The challenge to hosting a dogfight in present-day Blockland lies in creating a large enough area for flying and maneuvering.

Please post your thoughts on how we can construct a suitable replacement for maps like this (and also for dogfight-over-land maps), and any building strategies that you would like to share.

Ipquarx:
The solution is better vehicle physics COUGH COUGH and the modular terrain bricks.
Nobot:
It's not that hard to make a dogfight if you think about it.
In those pictures there are brick-built ships. All that you would have to do is use ModTerrain to build the terrain islands.

^ Have to agree with this. Vehicles are glitchy with bricks. Even sometimes with ModTerrain.

you can't have unlimited terrain anymore. if you want borderless warfare like a dogfight, you're going to have to come up with a bad workaround ie:
islands (unlimited water)
space (unlimited space)
flat plane (unlimited slate)

you won't be able to recreate slopes or any kind of land-based terrain map well enough out of bricks where it could be used for things like jorgurs dogfight.

This is what I'm getting at. I'm trying to think of ways to have mountains and stuff like that.
