Hogwarts & more map

This map is amazing!
How many people were building on this map?

WOW, this map is great! It is huge and has so many details. I lost myself during exploring it. :D
Please tell us more about this map.

Thank for the positive feedbacks ! :)
We are french and were only two for building this map , the raspberry performance does not accept more than 2 players !
The first block was set on 2012 but for having a break we played at other maps sometimes."

Fantastic work! I will be setting this one up when I get home from work. My children (and me too) are huge Harry Potter fans. It's a shame there will be no more books. But.... now Hogwarts can live on through Minetest!
Can't wait to explore it!

Impressive. Keep up the good work and remind to show us ;)

This is a huge, huge detailed map! The five of us have been exploring for hours. There is so much to see. Even with fly and noclip we haven't seen it all yet.

I need a Marauder's map badly. So many secret's :D

It's really amazing!! My two daughters and I congrats you sincerely!!

I'm curious about how did you managed to configure your raspberry pi board, cause I was unable to efectively playing using a raspbery pi as a map server, had many lag crafting and puting blocks on map. Tried leveldb backend too but no luck.

I'm glad you like it !


@Ivà
No special confiuration : all memory for the CPU , raspbian started without X session , overclock in turbo mode (but no visible changes), 2A power supply and wifi.

From the mintest side, we have lighten some Mod for accelerate the craft and the navigation into inventory ( approximately 900 blocks avaiable ).
The minetest.conf:



But it's real, the raspberry is a limited server for playing and the lags are frequent .

Wow! A fantastic map!

I have on my maps big problems with the rock formations. Have you set stone for stone, or have you a trick to build it? Your landscape looks outstanding. Much better than mine.

Oh my word- this is amazing! I will download it sometime soon, it is awesome looking! Keep building things like this, good work guys! :D

@solars
We played your karsthafen map too and find it awesome too !!!
Unfortunately, no tricks for make a "real" landscape, Worldedit for earth-moving and a long finishing work block by block for the details.

If you can mange make rest of the world of Harry potter with textures and use right stuff make more real like so, It would be so awesome for an Server. And I think I can look into the ideas.
But all can say This bloody cool. (using bloody like Ron says).

So yeah. Make rest of the HP world then we can have maybe Oldcoder host it as a server. And we just need some headmasters. I will be a headmaster for sure. and a Student :D

And we might use an ranking system to sort each student and headmasters.

It going be bloody amazing.
Thanks Perlitroll making this look great and made me came up with a bold way to play minetest for a longtime.

It time relive the magic!
After we create everything to do so.
I will work asap on the ideas aspect an New Subgame topic in the next hours.

I hope all us can do this. And even make an working sorting hat that talks away in the chat when active etc.

This might be my biggest Minetest project I plan use alot mods and use anyone help make.

The map is not completely done but we still can add stuff to it.

Specially floating candles.
I hope shadowzone you will help out to in this project.

As for now I am going-over to say on the topic and post it later.
Hope we all can do this :D And have alot people play MT. Since those do youtube videos can showcase on the server might get somewhere.

I will even try get Some big time Youtube users do videos.

But we need get some work done first.

And now what will we License this whole project will be hard figure out due some mods, we might need use are CC-BY-SA etc. So Maybe do an Various License as.
But the mods that made specially for the game will be license whatever should be good to use.

So yeah Perlitroll I hope you can mange able make most the world HP. Or Try. And I be happy to help.

@Alt.Tester
Make the rest of the Harry Potter world? Have you not downloaded this? There is a reason this was a couple years in the making.

This is quite possibly the best map I have ever seen someone crate in minetest alone. I have seen some cool converted maps, but thosee were made in minecraft. Also, lipki's conversion of the summerfields texture pack looks really good with this map.

The screenshots show a very nice map with very intresting buildings. I'd love to take a look at it! Can you provide a download option? Mediafire doesn't work. Forum attachment might be a solution.

Mediafire does work, it just really sucks and has way too many ads.
They should just use dropbox or something...

Here's a better download:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/97hwabbmpd30o ... 5.zip?dl=0

Je n'ai pas encore téléchargé la map, et vu tout les retours positif qu'il y a, le téléchargement est imédiat !
En plus, à ce que j'ai lu, les "constructeur" sont Français alors je suis encore plus heureux :D

wonderful!!!!

maybe i would be better with a magic mod.

i wan't to be a mage today!!

Wow, looks great :)

Someone could explain me how must i do easily ?
Because i downloaded "Hogwarts & more map", i "extracted" it on "world" files.
I downloaded mods ( may be their arn't the good?) and i extracted to on 'mods" files.

Then i open minetest, but i don't have anything. :(

When you unzip the downloaded file you have a folder "Hogwarts&more...".
Open this folder. It contains two folders: "Worlds" and "Mods". You must put the content of "Worlds" into your "worlds" folder and the content of "Mods" into your "mods" folder.

That should work.

Each tilme, i unzip the downloaded on worlds
What is that mean here? i have to unzip to my office and then i copy worlds's content and stick it on worlds folder? same with mods?

NB : That's ok, it worked
I have a maps, i just need no find the castle now :D

Thanks you for your help :)

A great map of Hogwarts and the surroundings! I am a huge Harry Potter fan and had a lot of fun exploring the map :) But one thing I dont understand. What is the Huge Building in the right corner at the bottom of the map? At the Entrance is written "A tale of momentum & inertia" I tried to remember if this was a part of the books or movies but I dont remember. When I type it in google I only found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MOXJbzhsWM But wat has this in common with Harry Potter. If someone knows what the building is please reply. And sorry for my bad englisch. I am native german.

This is really cool and I'm a big HP fan, so naturally I tried downloading it....

The downloading itself worked okay, although for some reason it unzipped other mods I had recently downloaded and had yet to put in the mods folder.... I tried re-downloading those mods, but they still came unzipped. Do you know why this happened or how to fix it?

EDIT: Apparently my idiotic self hit the button for opening it with "winzip for pc" instead of the big green download button at the top.... How do I fix this?
