Hi! I've made a custom map that I'd like to share. It's my first one I've ever done and probably one of the first for Minetest.
I play both Minetest and Minecraft a lot. One of my favorite things to do on minecraft is play custom maps like survival maps, parkour maps, puzzle maps, and my favorite Adventure maps. This is something I hope will someday be a part of minetest too. I don't think this would make minetest a clone of minecraft since custom maps are completely community made and Mojang has no part in it. (although they are planning on making an adventure mode in the distant future)

Anyway, here's the link. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lbdvrhee12ebkul
It is a parkour map and it doesn't have a name. It took about an hour to make. log in as "minetest" with the password box left blank.
Don't forget to tell me what you think. (about my map or about my proposal for custom maps)

I'm sorry, I'm a sucker for parkour, it's all I do XD

Nevermind, I found it. If you want, I could help expand it? Doing that now, I will post a link for my additions soon

That would be great!

I had some troubles with the client, it didn't want to load me placing items, so I only got a tunnel built. If you can, I would love for you to come and help, because I can make nice ladder jump towers, but that's about all I'm good at......

+1 for your Map!

Implementing acid...if I can get the thing to respond, and maybe obsidian, but I will also make a non-mod version for the people who don't use them.

CaOH and HNC are implemented in RTMMP. They needs to craft Calcium cianide, that kill you momentaly.

Dude, did you say "calcium cyanide"? I'm in, totally gonna be part of the parkour course.

Yes, in rtmmp you can find the bottle with Ca(CN)2 and drink it to die. In next versions i will add the possibility to pour the Ca(OH)2, HCN and Ca(CN)2 out of bottle to killing peoples! Mwahahaha!

by **IPushButton2653** » Sun Jan 01, 2012 20:24

I'm on windows, so I can't get the mods to work, there any way you could give me a link or something for just teh Ca(CN)2?

by **Hackeridze** » Sun Jan 01, 2012 20:37

I guess you shoul download full RTMMP and use just moreores(FROM RTMMP!), moarcraft(FROM RTMMP!)and bottle(FROM RTMMP!) mod. But I may mistaken, and of course not guaranty working mods from RTMMP separately.

by **IPushButton2653** » Sun Jan 01, 2012 20:45

None of them worked for me, so I just went and had to re-download all twenty something mods that got corrupted. I guess I could go back in and try to fix it......

I don't know when I'll be able to do that. I'm currently helping my sister pack for college, and tomorrow I'll be away the whole day. I'll let you know when I'll have time after that.

by **IPushButton2653** » Sun Jan 01, 2012 20:57

Well, I currently have tons of free time. And unless I figure out what that IP that worked was, you will have to connect to me via remobo. It's the only way I can get a server to work.

Go to your map_mata file in the world folder, and save what is there somewhere, then replace it with this: seed = 1697311063764258849
[end_of_params]
That's the seed for my update (which is just a few underground rooms)

That's not how seeds work. They work like in Minecraft, a different seed generates different terrain. If it were to include buildings that you made, the seed number would be at least 10 times the length, because the seed in the first place doesn't have every single combination, but since there's virtually unlimited combinations when you add in player-built stuff, it would easily have over a centillion (More then 1000 times a million) combinations.

I will try to get a link to download the /world folder for it. Just give me a minute...

by **IPushButton2653** » Mon Jan 02, 2012 22:08

I can't seem to upload it to mediafire. I will keep trying, but in the meantime, I'm making a multiplayer parkour/adventure map, and I need help!
