Greetings all, and welcome to the map makers guild.

Introduction

I have noticed that a fair few of you have shown an interest in making adventure maps (Or things of the like), This is awesome, because i would love to get a group of people together and make a map or two!

You may all know of "Hypixel" and his amazing maps, and i think we can do something equally awesome, if not better!

So..
At the moment there is a small group of us working on a small adventure dungeon called "Heart of the Jungle", its mainly a trail map, for us to get fimilar with the tools required to do the semi-confusing things that are required when constructing these maps.

Joining this "Guild"

So there is no real process for joining, but we do want to know that we can trust you with things such as NBT edit, Command Blocks and being OP on a build server.

You will also need to show us that you can follow a set task given to you by a project head, we don't want someone making a boss fight or parkour track that makes no sense!

Making the maps

Maps will first be sketched up in a image editing program, they will be annotated with all the things that happen inside them, For instance here is a map i drew up for Heart of the Jungle (Note that it was changed later on to be more fun)

Heart of the Jungle PreProduction

Once that process is complete, we will start building. This is where the project head will quickly block out the map
(Whoever plans the map will be the project head, or if you dont feel up to the job, you can ask one of us to do it)
Once that is done, the rest of the guild can move in, adding detail, redstone and monster spawns.

After the map is made, we will upload the finished unit to a group of people who want to beta test it. finding any bugs and what not.

We will release the map once we are all comfortable with it.

Teamspeak


There will be a teamspeak channel for us (once i get admin on TS)
If you have a mic, and are comfortible talking to wierd people, then join us Big Grin Building things like this is so much easier when you dont have to type heaps of stuff, when all you are trying to explain is why the door needs to open AFTER the boss says the critical line.

Rewards for helping

Now there "May" be money in this.. I'm not sure yet, but if it does get big, we could potentially have not only an influx of new members on ORE, but also quite a bit of money from YouTube views and (if we use adfly) money from that too...
If that does happen, I will purchase everyone in the group a steam game or two, and hopefully splitting up the profits equally around everyone. this does have a few issues though, so there are no promises!
:o I like it, although I probably should not do the project since I would be gone for the most of it. (School has gotten hard for the next few weeks)
Nice Smile. I'd love to help if I can Big Grin.
I'd love to help. You can see some of my work on CX's map.

But I bet you can't trust me NBT editing, command blocks and OP powers. Surely I am abusing those on the ORE server Wink
If you are good at creative building, then that will still be a huge help!
We create all maps on the ORE Server, /mvtp advmap
count me in!!! Big Grin
I'd love to help! I have a bit of experience with maps, as I was designing a rather big one, but had to cancel it due to school and stuff.
I'd love to be a part of this,
I don't know NBT edit sadly enough Sad.
But I'm pretty decent at command blocks and for the OP, I've been op/mod/admin/co-owner of loads of servers and none of them were not happy about me Big Grin. I can build pretty decent stuff. I won't say I'm the best builder out there though.

I've been trying to make maps for a long long time, but everytime somethimg get's in the way, mainly school. And with every minecraft cleanup day Tongue (Once every 6 moths or so) I delete the map i was workig on.
Hey I'd like to join! I got all day on weekends and 3-5 hrs on weekdays! This project looks fuuunnnn.
I might join, however I don't really know anything about NBT or mapmaking. This would be a good way for me to learn.
I am not, by any means probably helpful in this project, I can see that we already have tons of volunteers.

Oic. I'll go there next time I'm on ;3
right now its just a plot of grass Tongue
Not just a plot, but an entire world!

Sorry about the lack of work lately. ill probably get stuff set up tomorrow.

Now question for everyone.

What kind of map should we make first?

If we can get enough ideas and planning done, we could make that map i was planning last year sometime, with the redstone CPU gone mad and you need to fix it up by gathering knowledge. and fixing up subsections of a factory.. If you guys want to, we could do that?

Im thinking that the current map im making is more of a learning experience and that it probably wont go fully public. but its cool nevertheless!

So...
Ill take a look around for NBT tutorials and stuff that you guys can read up on if you really are keen to help with this stuff.

Also, im planning a subforum for map making.
Alright, I setup a forum for map making. Ill post a new topic there for map planning.

Also, should i start up making video tutorials based on map making?
I like the factory idea. maybe we could at some point gear people up to fight and have a mob spawner that sends mobs out over and over til they complete a task and get through the next door

I like the idea of a mysterious kind of map. Kairo style, if you've ever played that.

If you haven't, here's another way to put it: A mysterious kind of map, with simple but aesthetically pleasing design, puzzles, slightly creepy. Every room has a different 'feel', so to speak.

I am in. I am great with NBT
You should make a PvP map!
I might join but I am good with NTB and I am op on one server and know alot of command blocks.

In person or not?
Lol forgot to put about and yes in person.
Thread ratings are overrated.

I've never seen a real Alot before in my life, where did you find it?
I hear that command blocks come out at night. If you try to scare them off, they'll come back, and in greater numbers...
You guys can start gathering ideas for cool maps if you like, btw!
LET!
ME!
HELP!
Im good at command blocks and mapmaking but i cant do nbt but still count me in
I would like to join. I can be trusted with OP, unlike my friend Kris, who, to put it nicely, griefs. A LOT.
dat bump....

You said that in your post. Give me the bonus points
But something similar was said earlier in time by someone. Also, I'm not smart, approximately. No bonus points for you!
I'm gonna go with that Professor on Futurama on the episode Parasites Lost :3
I'm going with Xray_Doc
I would also love to join! I have really no way of proving that you can trust me, you just have to take my word for it at the moment. although I wouldn't want to hurt or ruin anything as this would just be awesome to help with. I am comfortable talking to anybody although my english speaking skills aren't the best. I haven't either worked with NBT-edit before, so that's new. I know a lot of photoshop, so I can also help out with some aesthetics if you are gonna use a recourse pack or maybe just for a forum post.
looking forward to your reply Big Grin

Edit: I hope this post hasn't died (considering the date of the last post before mine) because this sounds like a very cool project and I'm very excited to see it grow.
Sorry for the bump. (Don't yell at me for bumping an old thread) but what ever happened to this shrogg.
