Go to hell

Well it wouldn't be blatant since everything's made of blocks ;D And even then, if it isn't identical (including name and construction of the model/mesh/animations/etc.) then it's not infringing.

You know what I mean, Rogue

[Srgnoodles 1,030]

Yes, it can.

Mods rely on either original content, or right to parody.

So if you make a blatant oblivion portal, you either have to make it somehow wildly different in at least one respect, or state outright 'this is an oblivion portal, we totally got this from Bethesda and it's their original idea that we take no credit for'

Well it wouldn't be blatant since everything's made of blocks ;D And even then, if it isn't identical (including name and construction of the model/mesh/animations/etc.) then it's not infringing. I'm not entirely sure, but nearly every "portal" is the same as someone else's as it stands.

if you guys would read the post i put earlier, you would know that i was just messing around so calm your bacon

Pardon (no tone on the internet) But i really would like at least some open areas, similar to Elysium from Greek mythos, Except not quite as pleasant, heck, Erebus is a good model as well (possible even tartarus) sorry for all the mythology.

myeeeeeeehhhhhhhh.... nah

i think we're trying to get away from the whole underworld idea of the nether wait what?

-looks at post again-

ooohhhhh still werent those more "massive cavern so huge that theres almost a sky" and less of an alternate dimension with a reddish sky

h btw, whoever's in charge here, is the nehter supposed to be all hot and fiery or dark and gloomy

[RogueHydra 32]

I wasn't getting upset or anything, so shh lol

And as for the nether, so far it's going to be dark dark claustrophobic cave-ey.

Yuck...

That's not frightening. It's just depressing...

If that's the new TFC nether, I'll probly end up just skipping it unless you really need to go there

Sadly, I'm inclined to agree :.(

I never really liked the whole "cavey" thing :S

BUT I do have faith in the TFC team and their awesome abilities, so I will wait until I see it before I pass any judgements

Just please don't pull a notch with it, I don't think I could handle disappointment on that scale twice :S

Should any damaging liquid (lava, acid, mercury, w/e) be added to the new nether, I propose a water mob (modified dunkleosteous? lol) that will shoot highly ballistic projectiles at you, which spawn half-blocks of 'finite water' composed of this damaging liquid when they collide with a block/entity. Ranged attacks (bow, javelin) would be best, but I suppose if you wanted to melee it it would be possible, with good armor.

Perhaps armor could be made that reduces/removes damage from said liquid? Possibly made from scales/hide of mob.

Thoughts?

Jed? Lumy? Rogue?

Lol, mercury spitting Dunkleosteous... that would be hilarious

hmm acid sounds cool maybe like in the metroid games

[Jed1314 420]

-snip-

So up for this !

A monster which shoots acid, sounds like an excellent time !

Perhaps to add a bit of risk for advanced players, it could cause metal armour to suffer fairly severe damage ? (seeing as acid is corrosive and all )

It's a bit like the blaze, but not shit !

I feel to go with the, "awaken from slumber from entering the world without knowledge", there would be a sliver of a sliver of a chance that, on a normal day skipping through the woods, you can suddenly feel yourself pulled from reality and black out. You awake to find a "hellish world here to play, let's see just how the blocks form this way"

Also the acid should be able to corrode weak items in you own inventory as you have to be storing them somewhere and not just in hammerspace

[Scooterdanny 285]

My only issue with the finite water/acid thing, is that water flows just about indefinitely, so it could reach a lava pool and turn it to obby(or cobble not remembering how that works exactly) so it should be something that would flow a maximum of let's say, 15 blocks or so.

Also given that different damages are being added, you could utilize that to do extra damage to armor, like jed said.

...That was a bad reference, and you should feel bad

but tropes make it better, they always make it better

Guys... mobs are hard lol. What about instead of an acid spitting monster, we add sulfuric acid rain? If you don't take shelter when it rains, your armour starts to corrode severely, and eventually it can kill you.

So we're only gonna have 2 nether mobs?

^This... also makes much more sense than a flying, acid spitting Dunk lol, as amusing as that would be.

...who the fuck said flying? Where did that come in?

I was thinking like a demonic version of this

[Scooterdanny 285]

Ah well i implied it since of the apparent lack of too much liquid in what i understand to be planned.

[Srgnoodles 1,030]

well acid rain doesnt really make much sence for how i picture the nether

as for acid, i was thinking instead of lava pools, we could have orange-ish acid?

doesn't it only matter how I picture the nether?

[Srgnoodles 1,030]

ummm no, otherwise there would be no reason for these forums to exist at all

[Jed1314 420]

Very much so, but I like to think you also take on board our feedback. My singular opinion doesn't really matter, neither does anyone else's apart from you, Bioxx and Hydra, but the almighty "we" does factor into your decision making processes I presume ?

By that I mean, I am sure that you consider the users expectations and hopes as well as your own

(This isn't meant to sound critical by the way, I think you do a fantastic job of balancing between user expectations and your own ability to deliver as well as your own views and visions )

Look. I might have been a bit rude, but I meant that as you are just one person, your "picture of the nether" is rather insignificant relative to the culmination of everyone else's. I will certainly take input from others and suggestions, but I would prefer if you didn't act like you're the programmer.

Yes I greatly appreciate the suggestions from the forums, I consider all of them, but sometimes they just don't work. I can't expect my single view to be the right one in this case, what I imagine might be made better (or changed completely) by what one or more of you guys suggest, but I (and I think Bioxx agrees with me here) think that in the end it is our decision what we do. No one in the community has the right to "veto" what we put in the mod. So far most of the suggestions I see are really, really good.
