FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

MTVille is a single-player map i have started because many servers are not stable, they either get a new map every day or go down after a month with no way to get all your time invested back, since they don't offer a backup of the map.

I have a vision of what i want, i started today and will continue to work on it at nights when i have more time. I will post updates on it, screenshots and maybe a download of the map when it gets big enough, and update that link as i make it bigger.

World Map as of: May 02 2013


NEWS:
4/30/2013: I was able to run the minetestmapper.py file on windows, so i dont have to change between windows and ubuntu everytime i want to make a map image.

Map Image Archives (too see how the map has evolved)

Will you make a zombie apocalypse map?

No the idea is to make a very big city, that connects other smaller towns, some random buildings and such using a subway and above ground railway system. Might take a month to make a decent map worth sharing.

Nice !!

Edited thread :D here are some screenshots. will work on the map more, its growing slowly.
You can see all the album here:

Worked on my Metro (above ground train) System for a while and got this

The Outside


Front View


Launcher: You need to press the switch so it can activate the rails and it goes on its own :D The wooden block behind it, is to stop the cart so it doesnt go the other way and glitch off the tracks.


Liftoff!


YAY!: Placed some switches randomly on the way to be able to keep up the speed, but not to much cause it stops if it goes to fast for some reason.

can you post the full-sized map image?
Edit: wait, nevermind

Nice Job Land.
Hey you can have water on flat by, changing sand or something to it.

I have been doing that with worldedit, the only issue i have is it looks like a square and doesnt look naturally generated. but i will see how i get over that :D thanks for the advice

No problem.
Hey can I test it out when finish or ready for testing? or it is going, be a Public test?

Oh and how do you make your logos?
Hey you know I can make the Twin Building if you like since I know how make one.

Well ill upload the map to dropbox so people can download it when its big enough and even then i will still continue building on it.

I make my logos with gimp, as you can see its just a simple font with no effects. The size of the image is perfect so it can center on the thread. Also if you want, you can make the building on singleplayer and use worldedit to make a schematic, upload it and send it to me so i can import it on the map, that is all i can think of.

On another note here are some buildings i tried to duplicate from Google maps :D pink one kinda sucks though.

Tried to make another building from google maps....came out pretty well
