dutchjay Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Dear readers, I'm Jay (streamer for DST). i made a PVP arena and i wanna improve my map.I though the best way to do this, is to ask you guys. First off all here is a youtube link so you can see, my idea a bit. Ill explain a bit... when you enter a host will guide you to your steps (host is me).Ill show you where to get food, then you may pick 1 chest out of the 7, (i will replanish the items later on)then ill escort you to the arena, ill do a count down and then the battle begin.I'm thinking to use a ranking systeem. So you can lose/win points and stuff . Could you guys help me out, to think about ways to improve my arena pvp. You can reply, or advice me at www.twitch.tv/dutchjay when i am online. Thank you in advance for your attentions! greetz, Dutchjay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezecib Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Interesting idea. I think the walls would be pretty laggy, though, since the game calculates collision for each wall independently. The only way to really get around that it remove the terrain outside of where the walls are now, and then remove the walls-- that way the game is using the more efficient collision detection around the edges of the land. I added this function in consolecommands.lua for this purpose:function c_setTile(newType) local pos = TheInput:GetWorldPosition() local x, y = TheWorld.Map:GetTileCoordsAtPoint(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z) local oldType = TheWorld.Map:GetTileAtPoint(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z) TheWorld.Map:SetTile(x, y, newType) TheWorld.Map:RebuildLayer(oldType, x, y) TheWorld.Map:RebuildLayer(newType, x, y) TheWorld.minimap.MiniMap:RebuildLayer(oldType, x, y) TheWorld.minimap.MiniMap:RebuildLayer(newType, x, y)endTo remove the land (set it to water), use:c_setTile(1)(it applies it at the tile closest to the mouse). Unfortunately you have to restart the server before it recalculates the edges of the land, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zillvr Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I'd recommend shortening the distance between each room. For simplicity, I'd refer to the rooms as starter, kitchen, stockroom, arena and effigies. The names are just placeholders so that I can suggest this floor plan arrangement for your map. Starter -> Kitchen -> Stockroom -> Arena -> Effigies -> which loops back to the kitchen. This would mean that instead of having walk ways between each room, you can have each room just be adjacent to each other with only wall partitions and doors/openings. This would result in reduced time spent running around preparing for the next battle and more time for the battle itself. Reduce preparation time will increase battle frequencies. You can also simplify the stockroom by decreasing the spacing between chests, but I think you had them that way because you like them that far apart. Another thing I'd like to suggest is if you're ok with spawning in stuff, is for you to place 1-2 ponds in the arena, so frogs can spawn. The frogs will add a little bit of a challenge because they steal stuff from players inventory. Or simply spawning in 2-3 frogs during the battle. That's all the ideas I can offer you. Good luck with the arena! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats none of my business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
