So long since anyone has done something on this page...

Just in case you missed it, automatic trap activation.

Just wanted to share my WIP map: http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/wip-the-story-of-red-cloud.81528/

Correction make that ALL engines, and schematics download included at bottom.

Basically everything to do with creature statue engines in one place.

Apparently I need to do more investigation into performance optimization of maps.

This one I quite like ^ ^

The mind boggles, then scrabbles, then gives up and tries monopoly.

Getting more out of your statues:

Interesting corrupt bunny wiring mechanics. Or if you just feel like making a puzzle out of it.

Slightly alternate method as well as video guide from ground up for creating a custom soundtrack if you are having trouble doing so.

Basic wiring video guides - A good starting point if you know nothing.

Time to move your old maps to the new subforums and clean up the general area.
Details within this thread: www.terrariaonline.com/threads/66839

Decreased map height by around 20 blocks with new lighting, less depending on which you use.

Read to 5th post.
No spoilers in thread currently (assuming it stays as 5 posts)

Poorly lit/darkness large arena room with small pieces of hellstone around it / in it and also the borders of vision either side of the arena.
Add in one EoW.
Good times.

Can't believe I just realised the other day that meteorite still gives off light o.0

Well one method is sitting down with a load of materials and tools then just start building creations, use of a server mod like tshock can help here as you can spawn yourself items when needed etc.
Then there are the various world editors that can be used like tedit and buildaria as linked in the 3rd post of our page in the terraria online forums.

Writing a story, if your making a adventure map or otherwise, can come before or after making a creation of a world.
If writing before building your creations should hopefully tie in with the story.
If writing after building creations the story should be tailored to fit the map.

Either way having some sort of plan before starting is always nice and it will also help you gauge your own progress.

So what is an easy method to making a map?

I hear it has 'hard' parkour apparently? I will check it out within a few days Marshalite along with a score of other maps i've been meaning to play.

As of today, I now count as a mapmaker so I joined. I'd love it if you had a look at it. It is called The Heart of Evil

Hmm... am I allowed to share my maps here? Seeing you guys sharng maps, I think it's possible. XD

I'd been toying with mushroom lighting for a while novate, you'll probably see it from me in the future :)

bleh it cut it into two lines =/
http://eo.steamhost.cc/steamcommunity_com/id/Novate/screenshot/576682317049982263
named: "one way passage or requires rocketboots"

Not sure how much this may interest people but one way passage using 'permanent' webs:
http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/576682317049982263/5C82DCC8FA0E48EB5E9F3F980941586A248438B0/

Fall through the webs from above and you can't get back up unless you have rocket boots.

Also unrelated and off to the side is a obstacle requiring just rocket boots to traverse, not quite balanced for the timing of the boots yet though.

Pernament webs/thorns requires one of the world editors to create and is done by using the web/thorn as the block a tree trunk is standing on.

To clarify I meant having mushroom seeds and planting them on plain mud to light the way.

So apparently webs, much like thorns, can be forced to stay put when walking through them. (if they are used as the block as a base beneath a tree, you will need one of the editors to achieve this unfortunately)

Heres another one:
Mushroom grass seeds + mud = light.
Why has this not been used in a map yet? It'd be pretty easy to implement effectively plus planted mushroom grass looks awesome ;p

Ok so shooting grapple at hellstone/hellstonebricks causes it to give off light as well as the other things.

See if windows restore can find a old version of it at a restore point.
(or is that too much effort?)

Accidently deleted my map that was soooo close to being finished!
/cry

aaaaw thats cute, nerdy and an awsome idea :P

Yeah it does.

Anyway just in case you missed it on the forums there's a guy with a cute goal on the forums who is looking to make a adventure map for his gf to propose.

Here:
http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/calling-all-dedicated-hard-working-and-very-good-builders-for-special-project.54485/

Check it out if your interested in helping out ;p

doesnt it work with the help of using Tedit? I'm new with the editor so im not sure.

Anyone know how to move a skeletron/oldman spawnpoint?

Everything you ever wanted to know about NPC housing and some you didn't. http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/comprehensive-npc-housing-guide.52650/

Gah why did I turn my testbox into an actual map?
Now i've got to think of another completely random name...

Anyway a question:
As a group would we take requests from other players?

Currently hellstone will light up if:
You hit it with a pickaxe.
You hit it with a harpoon.
You hit it with a boomerang.

Could be used as a temporary light switch for dark areas.
In what contexts this can be used I leave up to you ;p

Getting started with my wacky races map!

I have some map ideas that I want to discuss, come to the group chat.

This group seems pretty cool. I guess I'll see what you guys and gals are up to.

Heading off for the night =)

Welcome =)

Hi Guys!

Dirt rod + placing inside lava mechanic - Confirmed still works, just make sure to add extra dirt incase they drop the dirt.

thats two offers so far, I don't think we've actually sorted out any plans yet.

I have server which I dont have any use for... We could make it official server for this group?

Also feel free to discuss any problems you may be having if creating a map or ask for help, we may be able to help you find a solution.

This isn't a server Joshua, just a group for people who like custom maps.
