So are maps/terrain ever coming back?

[Bisjac]

people gonna have to learn to build maps with bricks lol

Only reason I miss t&i is stranded gamemode

Yeah, there was that, my RPG server, Jorgur's RPG and Dogfight, a ton of cool challenge maps like Irk's challenge, my challenge, and some others.  So many good servers that can't be used now because of no terrain.

your best bet is to get a builder to make a map out of modter bricks, or you can use GSF's terrain generator.

Yeah but lets be honest, the terrain bricks don't look too great and the GSF terrain generator is kind of boring.

Bricks are only good to a point.  Once again, too many bricks lags people a lot.  Terrain never did that.

yeah its not so bad once you get the hang of it
just build effeciently (conservative) and you could have a map equivalent in no time flat!

Yeah, I guess that's true but still it was really fun to make my own maps and interiors for blockland.  Not many other games let you do that, and now this one doesn't either.   Just kind of limits the creativity of mod creators like me.

how about this:

make your own stuff
stop putting up threads about maps, they are gone.  never to return.  i hate that, but we have to move on.

but it also gets people who hold down a brush tool for 30 minutes more known than a builder who makes a huge rpg out of bricks.

I would not say "no" but it's very, very, very unlikely.

[Bisjac]

maps were old fashioned and ugly as forget.

and why would you wanna role play as a lego guy in every game you play? because that is all the purpose maps and interiors served.

[Mysteroo]

arguments against maps:
They were ugly
They were badly coded, which hindered more updates from coming along
or in other words it wasn't just for shaders
they're not coming back

[Grassy]

Why won't people get it into their heads and making us repeat time and time again!
They are not EVER coming back.

why would you wanna just sit on an empty plane all day. because that is all the purpose slate serves

I would honestly like to see interiors and terrain come back in some way. They were nice when we had them in a lot of ways, nobody really seemed to complain about them. But they probably aren't ever

If the shaders could have worked for the maps sure lol.
Pretty much they won't come back only if someone did static shapes (hi marble man) or  if they were compatible with interior.

[Dglider]

Well, I don't think terrain will ever come back in the same way it existed before. (Massive tracts of looping terrain)

But maps, yeah probably.  All they ever consisted of were a set of instructions to load various objects into the game, set the sun, skybox, precipitation etc.

I'm actually working on making a map.  Using .dts shapes and a little script to load them into the game.  It's not very far along. but...
Did you know that Bitch and Blender'sDTloveporter both start with the same letter?

I think Chao made this topic cause he was gone for a long period of time, I haven't seem him post in a while. Also Chao, are you planning on continuing Stone Quest?
