I would also suggest that the player should not be able to see what is several layers below them. Maybe just the dirt/cavern areas without minerals until the player is near.

Also how are you going to setup an overworld? Is there going to be a few hundred horizontal levels with the possibility of digging down (or building up)? Would there be multiple overworlds? Would players be kept separate from one and another or on one overworld?

I imagine they're probably going to do some sort of lighting system.

All of your suggestions are pretty good. I am going to say though that the blocks were only a prototype product from Aeko, but he says he can improve on them (although I like them as they are)

New Application
 

I have constructed a new application. It's the exact same one as the old one with an added question and a change of email address! Please don't email your applications to the old email address. The new email is inside the application. Thanks! Important: Please send your email with the subject GrimeCraft: Application

Could a forum moderator please move this to my first post?

Did you see my post asking how this will work? :P

Will this have a generator like Minecraft and let the players create / destroy blocks or will be have levels made by LATs?

As you can see from the screen shots, we don't need levels staff to make out map.

Just to let you all know, 0PiX0 has offered to help out with the coding for GrimeCraft, so we won't be hiring coding staff any more! Sorry. We are still looking for everybody else though!

Are you going to set up spawn protection? It's going to be hard to manage a server when you have no control over who enters, you see.
Minecraft is a bit simpler because of whitelisting and spawn protection, but a 2D world like terraria is hard to handle with more then 20 people running around there.
Since I'm guessing your server is going to be pretty popular if it finishes, you should be prepared for that kind of stuff.

Just make a bunch of Graal texture packs for Minecraft. :p

That's just about at the bottom of my to-do list. I have no idea what this "spawn protection" is and how it works, but if it's some kind of protection against getting killed or w/e, I have no interest in making any kind of battle system or something so players can kill each other.

He means protecting the blocks at spawn against griefers.

Now I understand. Yes, they'll either be made of invincible blocks, or we can have a code to find the nearest safe block, and spawn the player there.

Grime is a horrible word to use here, lol. :[

Only because it reminds me of you <3

We have been making some incredible progress ever since Fulg0reSama and 0PiX0 joined the team. Here is just a taster of what we have already accomplished in a few days!

Chat System
0PiX0 has made us a beautiful little chat system that displays players chat across the level. It's a neat little communication device that clearly shows messages from other players, with some cool effects added for transition too!

Movement
The movement is up and working! It's got an amazingly smooth movement style with slide/skid effects for player and acts differently depending on your terrain (water, dry land)

Background system
Although it's not currently 100% finished, it's bound to be completed soon, when we get the sky graphics done. It's basically a background effect that moves with the player as they shift along the map.

Images have been attached.

I'm interested in logging in and checking out this movement.

Just a notice

Since V5 doesn't like to work well with our systems, V5 clients won't be able to access the server.

dude you need to add awesome weapons like on worms, so you can blow up stuff :D could like have that as an event maybe ^^

I really like this idea.

Somehow I agree...
I love this idea. Minecraft / worms

Mixing the themes could be messy.

Very true, but when its accomplished correctly, it can be, how you might say "Revolutionary".

Could in general make a 2d game like worms, and then just add some of the good terrain **** about Minecraft, make a lot of cool terrain destroying weapons, maybe classes etc. It could be good if you put a lot of work into it.

This is coming along nicely, well done :D

But seriously, change the name hmph

There was a player who had previously logged onto this server falling around on Classic and other servers with the same gravity movement.
Presumably this is down to a V6 bug, is the gravity just a normal weapon script?

Restarting the game fixes it, but its kinda annoying :P would have been fun if the movement wasn't so buggy you get stuck so easily xD

I would be a lot more interested to see dynamic scripts that allow players to actually build being implemented instead of weapons, honestly. Otherwise it's just the same side-scrolling server concept that's been proposed a dozen times over.

Anyone up for pistons? Could even have generators and cogs, now there's an idea! :P

it also changes the default font which is very annoying, just have all of your systems use the font, please.

Reminds me of an idea I had before I left, darn you snagged me.

I haven't seen an instance of someone getting stuck. Could you help me understand how that happens?

You will be able to build and destroy 'blocks' and weapons will also be there. The idea is a creative and survival experience very similar to that of Minecraft.

Sorry, I would have changed it beforehand had I known the server would be changed from staff only. The font change has been removed, but I am interested if someone knows how to change the chat font without changing those options.

You can't.

In all fairness we have been up for 3 days now. Perhaps give us a chance?

When the player logs in, can you store the default font somewhere and when they logout switch it back?

oh and thanks whoever repped my first post as a - saying "nah"
Care to explain more about why you think it's "nah"?

Doing clientside stuff upon logout is tricky and usually doesn't work out well.

Ah okay.

Just make your own chat crap. ezpz

Never. :D

Yep! And by the way, your new sig pic looks amazing.
