this post singlehandedly gave me some wild kinda ptsd but other than that this seems like it'll be kinda cool to play really am looking forward to this
Well, thank you! I am working hard on finding builders, tho until then I'm trying to find out what the best weapon pack is to recreate the old feeling of the TDMs, I found the pack they used, but I also found a better pack that added a bunch of awesome guns.
Oh, just assumed there wouldn't be vehicles based on steepness of terrain. Air vs Artillery battles sounds great though.
Well, it is not the focus of this map, but id be lying if I said that I didn't hope to add at least some trucks, I am experimenting with the terrain generator to see if it is possible to do a better terain for vehicles.
you should put a bunch of turrets and scaffolded towers around the map and on the hills
That is my intent, while this one will be more focused on just goofing around, in the old TDMs you had to capture bases around the (HUGE, way bigger than this) map, those points once captured would give you all kinds of bonuses, from spawns and AA guns in a mountain to a super heavy assault Russian Vulkan tank in a cave.
Tho I can't seem to find what mod they used to do the capture the base thing, that might be the reason why this is more focused on attacking each other and there is no real objective, players are still free to find secret points of interest tho.
If you somehow find the mod they used do tell me, I will do research on my own tho, so I might find it soon.
yeah this looks pretty dope. id suggest only keeping it to heli's tho. dogfighting in blockland is horrible and planes would just be used to annoyingly bomb or shoot rockets at people on the ground
You are right, and to be honest I won't dispute with you since apparently the airplanes they used for the server where custom made.
Some modification of this (

Anyways the point is that this one did not shoot, it relied on the co-pilot and other crew to attack, sadly I wont be using it.
That would have been perfect, also due to the low speed they would not get out of the map.
tl;dr you are right.
i've been crashed by helicopters with miniguns before but it might just be me
You cant say it was not fun to run away from a helicopter trying to ram you, haha.
Dogfighting in Blockland is great, actually. You just need to practice. The solution to the latter is to focus on dogfighting, because planes take the focus away from fighting on the ground.
Well, I'm quite bad so I'm not sure about it, either way, I'm not sure I even own any good packs of planes, if you have any feel free to link me to it.
I'm always searching for new content to make the server better and the loading times longer
