Pokemon Mystery Dungeon – Explorers of Blocks (credit to Aximili for the name)

Basically, this is where I'll be posting information regarding the build, server, or builders / helpers.

Information:

One; The map was deleted by my server, which also seemed to delete itself. We’re restarting, as I’ve stated multiple times on the actual project itself. We’re letting people help build this – which should speed it up a lot. The new version will be started 1/06/2012 or 2/06/2012 on the server. I’m not doing a silly ‘post apps’ thing, it’s simply just post a comment asking to join – I generally judge on the structure of your comment in terms of maturity and if you’re likely to be a griefer.

Two;
Yes! It will be a role play server. People have asked me this a few times, and I’m quite a role player myself. I haven’t any ideas on the topic at the moment other than it’ll be an RP server, so any ideas are appreciated. You will NOT all be a human turned into a Pokemon, that’s the main character’s role from the game. It’s simple – You’re a Pokemon, and you’re either a solo explorer or in a rescue team (or other jobs)

Three;
I was originally making a texture pack for the map, but Aximili made one instead. Kudos to him for the help he’s provided by pitching in his various ideas and I hope to have him building with us.

Four;
We are NOT building the zones separately, look at the wonder map on Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time / Darkness / Sky. It’s an entire world, and we’re making that full world. I don’t want to be making zones separately, especially seeing as this will be a role play server one day.

Five;
The server we’ll be building on will be up at all times (24/7) without a white list. This does not mean you’ll join and automatically be able to build – If you’re a builder, then you can build, but if you aren’t a builder then you can join and look around.

Six;
Weekly map releases! I will be releasing updates of the map each week, with schematics of each zone. Builders / helpers will get the map on their request, whenever they want it as they’re dedicating their time to help build it. Another reason for weekly releases, is that if the server decides to die again, we'll have a map from the previous week (or from a helper who requested the map) to go from.

Seven;
The type of builders we are looking for are ones who are able to dedicate a few hours per day (or so) There is not a specific list, each person can work on what they think they can build or do. Yes, pitching ideas also means you’re listed as a builder (helper, whatever)



Ideas:
Trip wire: (new Minecraft update) can be used in dungeons for monster houses, as it apparently triggers redstone (could trigger pistons) which could open up holes where mobs drop through, representing a Monster House!

Note Block: I'm planning to have each zones theme made and placed under the zone, obviously made of note blocks, when a pressure plate is stepped on (or when a button is pressed) it will start playing the theme of the area. I think this would be a good idea, as it'd add that nostalgic feeling from the game.



Skins:
Aximili: There will be a few skinners for this project. Aximili was the first, and is still helping. As stated in the information section, he has made a texture pack for the project (which we're using for it) and he has now begun making skins.

List of skins (so far):
 - Treecko
 - Charmander
 - Totodile
 - Sableye
 - Grovyle
 - Wigglytuff

TheOriginalBaconMan: Second skinner who offered to help; from what I've seen, she is most popular for her HD skins (which mind you are amazing - check them out!)

List of skins (so far):
 - Cubone
 - Marowak



Events:
ReplayTyHeretic: This person suggested that we make zones / redecorate zones for each major and minor event in the year. We have been talking about it on Skype, and have made 3 decisions (for now)

Easter: Shaman's Village (Explorers of Sky) and the mountains that follow the village. I have forgotten the name of the dungeon on the mountain, but you'll be able to recruit a Shaman (A few long time players will be allowed to change characters to a Shaman if they want to) for the time being. This event will last for 5 days.

Halloween: Open up the future world (you'll know what the future world is about half way through Explorers / Time / Sky - It's where Dusknoir grabs you and takes you to the future. You will have to treck from Dusknoir's dungeon all the way to Dusk Forest to get a portal back to Treasure Town. This event will last for 7 days.

Christmas: Redecorate Treasure Town, with the obligatory Christmas Tree. Open up Blizzard Island to the public (Blizzard Island will be permanentely open to the public after it is released on the first Christmas of the server being up) This event will list for 7 days



Bulletin Board:
Miss_Rose: She suggested an idea for the bulleting board - Of course there will be a fugitive and rescue one, but she also suggested putting up a trading board.

IE; This is the format which will be used

Name: Fruglover22
Dungeon & Floor / Area: Beach Cave, F1
Item you want: Apple
Item you're trading: 100 Poke



Thanks for reading

- Trigger

Hi! I made an account here just so I could post here :)

I saw that you were interested in recreating the music from the game via noteblocks. I know how to do that, plus, it's been a hobby of mine for the past 2 years to make piano arrangements of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon music, so I know the notes for most of the music already.

I can suggest the MobDisguise plugin, so that some people can RP dusknoir, chatot, etc.

Any, really. It can be any Pokemon that appears in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time / Darkness / Sky, so, you have about 300 Pokemon to choose from! :)

Heyo, Trigger Happy Bunny. We've spoken a few times in chat and on forum posts :3
I just saw this and was wondering if you'd need help? I'm an excellent skinner(Words taken from comments on my work) and I'm a pretty good designer. To top it all off I LOVE the pokemon Mystery Dungeon games and would love to see this get made properly and to it's full potential. I can be a vital asset to your team, just so you know :3
Plus, I'm 21 and a natural born leader XD

Your work is amazing beyond words, I would love to have you on the team and it would be a privellage to work with you. We currently have Aximili doing the skins, but I don't mind if you make some too. It gives people a wider range to choose from. You ALSO got me re-interested in Elfen Lied, and your HD skin of Lucy is currently my in game one. :)

No problems, server is 50 slots and is up 24/7 (need to reset the map as unfortunately some 3 Finnish players decided they'd log in and grief. No idea how the whitelist was turned off, haha - no worries though, we were going to restart the part they griefed, and we have the world save of the beach already) I'm able to set the server to offline mode if you don't have a premium account, and we should be able to start building from the cross roads (well - the path connecting the beach and cross roads)

Hehehe, that sounds great. Apart from the griefing of course, it's good to hear how organized this all is, gives me a lot of faith in this~
I believe I have a premium account so no worries on that one, just send me the I.P and I'll join A.S.A.P. I want to help in the building as well.

We only have about 6 or so builders (including yourself and I) but that's fine. Too many people means the possibility of griefers is alot higher, which we don't want. Plus it'd get crowded!!!) I'm just swapping the map back and then I'll PM you :)

Yea, that's completely understandable.
Sorry if I seem a bit impatient, I'm just really excited, usually projects like this slide right past me XD
I'll relax now, I look forward to meeting the team.

In terms of coming online, we're all rather unorganized and I'm trying to get everyones time zones (more specifically, their time) and I understand the feeling. When we finished the beach (after restarting the project) it looked so amazing and close to the game, I just really wanted to get the entire map finished. I guess it was just the massive nostalgic feeling. If you have Skype, feel free to add me at Trigger_happy_bunny

If you didn't know, it's going to be a roleplay server when we finish the map!

Yeah, I'll make the skins! I'm looking forward to the events you are talking about!
When the time comes and this becomes a RP server, let's give the moderators/admins the roles of dusknoir, chatot, etc.


Oh! Almost forgot! The nickname plugin or whatever it's called would be useful!
When someone joins, they'll be asked what pokemon they wanna be. Then an admin/mod/whatever gives them the name of the pokemon.
Then they need to go get that skin if they wanna stay.




And make the quild spawn! That'd be perfect!
