>>25932718It was meant to be Nortia but map maker had a sight mistake, not mad though is a funny joke.
>>25932724
I misread the map, I'm looking at the Prospect Mine area with the lake in the middle
>>25932768
To make it easier on myself, I count any towns too close to each other to mark individually as part of the first town that settled there.
Also at the moment I'm basically refusing to mark any towns beyond the area I've mapped so far.
Nortia got really lucky with their placement though, even if it is hell to get to.
Then again it's just a dumb map. You can have as many towns in as many places as you want and nobody can stop you.
I'm not a rulemaker, I'm just lazy.
>>25932790
well I plan on extending a route to Romantic Isles and Sunflower Valley once the town is looking like not a bunch of chests in a hole. Perhaps to bumfuck crater as well.
>>25932796
Godspeed anon.
I was planning on making a single, unified route around the region, because exploring the routes in the previous gens was fun as fuck. The problem is that I only made from spawn to Shitropolis in two days of work.
I'm still planning on trying, it's just not gonna be fun in the slightest, haha.

There should be two in there, but nobody's found the second one yet.
Who knows if it even exists.
It's a mystery that must be solved.
Any towns with people already living in it? Just about to log in and I remember Aria was the place to be on the old server. I just want some fun neighbors
>>25932952
Castaway Bay, Moonruins, and Fugland are the places to be right now. The most active towns.
There's nothing at Bum Fuck or Autism or Prospect right now.
Shitropolis has basically been abandoned at this point, but might see a revival at some point.
Everywhere else has one or two people per.
Also Sandile Safari isn't a town, I don't know why it's on there.

>>25932961
There's two people at Prospect I'm pretty sure
>>25932961
It's not just for towns, its for landmarks too. Like Port Destiny for example - the destiny tower is just there on its own.Also fuck dazint or whatever the gym leader for Shitropolis is called, you can't claim two types, especially when one is already taken you autistic faggot.
Still on the Ho-oh grind
>>25932961
>nothing at Prospect right now
Prospect was started literally yesterday, can you fucking blame them?
Also Bum Fuck is still a work in progress, a few people are all working hard to dig that shit out.
Supplies have been gathered, and I finally achieved Mamoswine after the grind, so with all that settled construction of the Moonruins hotsprings is under way! Hopefully I'll have it done by the end of this week even, except the battle arena may take a bit longer since there's a lot of digging involved in that and there is the block lag...
VIP steam room, and "free admission" to anyone who can present the Moonruins badge at the door!Which is no one right now since the gym isn't finished yet.
lads what version of optifine are we running or should we use to work with the server
>>25933692

>>25933234
The concept is there but You need to take more time building, they lack dimension and any aesthetics. Using shaders does not make up for them being literal shit huts. maybe consider adding supports for the floating buildings fence as stilts or raw logs. Just wood planks looks like shit.
Also your Island does not have a bay.

How does this make any fuckin' sense? It's a higher tier metal, it should give more goddamn discs.
What the fuck is with the gym rules in the OP? I'm not going to build a gym just so I have to give it up in a tournament. Real gym leaders are supposed to lose, they're an indicator of competence, not the best of the best.
So what am I going to do with Destiny Tower?
I mean, sure, it exists. It's pretty goddamn fancy, too. But what am I going to do with it? There's no Port Destiny, and there's no real reason to go there. I mean, I've set up a nice home there, but...what should I do with it?
>>25933814
This tournament should be for the Champ, and the E4, and that's it. Including gyms is stupid.
Just have one of the server mods make sure a prospective gym leader has a team of the proper theme, a built gym, and logs on regularly. Just give them a badge, then.And take that badge from the flying/ground retard that nobody is happy about existing.
>>25933518
Honestly I think people might go to the coords and see no sign of life, poke their head in and see no sign of life, then leave without heading deeper into the cave. I'll probably add some sort of real entrance sometime tonight or so.
To be honest though, I much prefer mining and pokemon battling over building. My own house barely has a foundation.
>>25933814
>whoops, looks like I lost a match, I better give up my badge to whatever rando beat me and give up being a gym leader, I'm through!
This logic is horrible, and we please not run the server like this? Let gyms be gyms.
>>25933814
Wait, so if you just want to be a gym leader, you have to intentionally throw this tournament to avoid becoming the Champ? This is trash.
>>25933889
Not only do you HAVE TO compete (unlike the Champ, who has a caveat for if they can't make it), you can't win and you can't lose, you have to land in the middle to keep your gym.

Rereading those posts I see a misunderstanding.
Noone would give up the gym they built. It'd just be considered a Dojo. Why?
People are already complaining about random typings by some Gymleaders and will inevitably hold me accountable for that.
Dojos have more freedom but aren't important in the tourny seeding since their leaders aren't in the top 1% of the server.
I'm of the opinion that if you wanna be a gym leader you have to have a certain skill.
If anyone can become a gym leader without proving their worth, the title gym leader is not valuable.
Dojo's can and will still have badges and can still use the gym they built but if you're not good enough to beat some "randoms" why should you posess the title gym leader.
The system isn't final and will most definitely still be reworked but you have to consider that not everyone can be a Sabrina. Sometimes you have to be content with being Kiyo.
Just my 2 cents on this.
>>25934478
Well, there it is.
Hey, buddy, need anything for that? Also, could I get a few of the excess of PCs you no doubt have?
>>25934802
>demoted leaders don't give up their building
This is at least good news.
>random typings
I think the only complaint about this was the dual typing. I don't think people mind if a type has two gyms, but I could be wrong about that.
>Dojos
Dojos are a fine idea, but they should be for people who aren't on very often, or just people without badges, like some of the arenas that are already cropping up.
>gym leaders have to be strong
I have to strongly disagree on this point. Elite 4 should be strong, the Champ should be strong, Gyms should be beatable. They're already mono typed so it's not like they're hard to beat. Brock is just nowhere near as strong as Koga and that's okay, we don't need elite gyms when we have an elite 4.
This still doesn't effect the glaring flaws that if you want to be a gym leader you have to both enter a tournament, and place middle in it. This is just not right to do, it invalidated the whole system.
>>25934802
Wait wait, let me make sure I'm clear on this:
I build a gym. It's a Ghost type gym. Very spooky.
It's a dojo unless I place 2nd-9th in the tourney.
If I do place 2nd-9th, beating me is part of the path to fighting the champ.
Otherwise, I can still give out badges, but they're purely for show.
All correct?
Also: what happens if I place 2nd-9th, but so do three other Ghost trainers? Do we have 4 Ghost type gyms?
>>25934872
I do think Gym Leaders should be fairly strong since they're gimping themselves with Singletype teams (obviously there's ways of making teams good but there's only so much you can do.
>>25934873
Those points are correct.
What happens if there are more gyms of the same type? That's a good question and I'm still looking at that.
The mainpoint of this system is I can regulate gyms easier and make them more significant to the general play.
I just want to maintain the general Sandbox feel of the server while providing structured competition.
Team and comfy hut in progress. Not sure how I feel about Atron and Larvitar on the same team, but I'm not sure which one I like more. Probably Tyranitar.
House is supposed to be a charming contradiction with the surroundings; a homely little hovel plucked from the forest and placed underground. And then of course a large basement for storage and smelting.
>>25934922
You can use this same tournament setup, but make places 1-5 be the Champ and E4, leave gyms out of that. Maybe make collecting 8 badges necessary for entering the tournament, any 8. It won't be hard no matter how good the gym leaders are since they're all one type. Regulate who gets a badge by common sense so gyms aren't everywhere.
>>25934948
I don't like regulating by using common sense. People might think I have favorites or some other shit.
I don't see why Gyms shouldn't be decided by a tournament. If someone wants to have a special status on the server he should have to earn it in my opinion. Calling the rest dojos is pretty much just a technicality for easier distinction.
I'd also like people to be able to enter the tournament even if they didn't have enough time to beat 8 Gyms that week which is why I thought about just using them for seeding.
can macs play?
>>25934991
Don't have the tournament every week, make it every 2 weeks or even a month
>>25932817
used to live in duskvale
>>25934991
>I don't see why Gyms shouldn't be decided by a tournament
Do you want me to list them for you a third time? It invalidates the tournament because people will be gaming for middle positions, the Champ might be the 10th beat person on the server but all the leaders intentionally lost to him to hold their spot. If you can't get on when the tournament is happening you lose your spot, but the Champ doesn't. Then there's the fact that Gym leaders are never in any game the end-all strongest in the region.
>if you want to have special status you should earn it
Right, I did address that already. For people who want to actually compete and have a special status, the tournament can still exist, just name the winners the E4 instead. You're making a cyclical argument here that Gym leaders need to be strong therefore they just win this tournament therefore they hold a special place therefore they must be strong therefore they must win this tournament etc. Gym leaders don't need to be the elite.
>favoritism
This is a fair worry, so instead of leaving it open ended just make a list of qualifications, anyone who meets them gets a badge and anyone who doesn't is a Dojo.
>>25932817
>you will never live aria ever again
>>25934922
Problems with the current system:
>Anyone who can't play on the day of the tournament is fucked over
>Anyone who plays at different hours than one of the gym leaders is fucked over
>If one of the gym leaders stops playing, or isn't on frequently, then it's impossible to get his badge
>The current system requires gym leaders need to raise up two teams, a gym team and a tournament team, which will result in weaker gym leaders
>Anyone who places in the top 9 but doesn't already have a gym will throw together a half-assed mono-type team
I'd suggest something like:
>allow a gym leader of each type, so that there are more than 8 badges.
>gym leaders must be active, or else their gym is retired after a week (require a check-in 5/7 days a week)
>a gym and challengable team must be completed before entering
The dojo system can still exist for gyms of overlapping types. For example, if there are multiple grass gyms, they can have a weekly battle for position of gym leader. Granted, there would have to be a set level agreement to avoid someone sweeping with a level 70 Pokemon. This would also allow gyms to focus on making challenging teams instead of worrying about the damn tournament.
Looks like it's almost unanimous that we don't want this gym system as is. I say almost because Gary is the only one who wants it like this.
>>25935045
>>25935063
Alright got it. I'll definitely change stuff about the current system with the criticism in mind.
I'm trying to find a balance of competition and sandbox without having admins and mods to constantly have to organize shit.
>>25935087
Spoke with two other people about it who liked it in theory but I'm not gonna use a system the majority dislikes.
>>25935125
>balance of competition and sandbox
This is good, I think a lot of people want that. We can still do this tournament every 1-3 weeks, but you're working with this assumption that people want to be gym leaders also want to be these amazing powerful champions, and that's not true. For people who want that you can award them the title of Elite 4 or something.
>>25935125
we could just have some sort of substitute leader(s) that would be able to hand out badges if the leader is offline
There should be some mechanical way of deciding on Gym leaders so there isn't gym-spam and so nobody is accused of favoritism. I think everyone agrees with these points. I'm going to steal a little bit from >>25935063 for my idea.
Anyone with a building and a team can make a Dojo of a certain, singular type. Every [span of time] (two weeks?) then the Dojo leaders can challenge the Gym leader of their type. If they win, say, 2/3 (winning the Gym should be a bigger deal than just winning a badge) then the Gym moves to the winner's Dojo and they start handing out the badge. This places a limit on the number of Gyms (no more than one per type, ever) and has a mechanical regulation on who has the Gym (to avoid favoritism).
A lot of the specifics (how a Dojo wins the Gym for example) can be fiddled with but I'm really just suggesting a structure here. We probably also want some sort of soft cap on the number of Gyms/Dojos per town so we don't just have any old person setting up their own fighting establishment. Of course you can use the same challenge system to gain the rights to a Dojo slot in a city, and then change it to your type if you want. As an idea.
I also think that Gym/Dojo building should be lightly discouraged anyway. Sure it's cool, I do not disagree with that, but they should be fairly rare. Plus Gyms should also have Trainers as well!
>>25935125
For the most part, sans Dazint, people on the server seem to be pretty civil about gyms. They always ask around before starting a gym and are careful not to overlap each other. I think it could easily be self-policing for the most part once the gyms are established.
>>25935135
>>25935136
I'll definitely change stuff about it. If you guys have any more ideas just throw them out there.
Infered5 claiming the Mineral Badge for Steelton's Steel Gym
>>25935152
maybe we could have this based on the towns
like, every so often a town without a gym can challenge another town that has a gym leader, and the winner gets to host the gym until the next challenge
>>25935173
You've got competition from captain silvers on that front.
>>25935173
Oh hey, I don't want to be a bother or anything but I noticed today that Steelton is right on top of Prospect Mine. Just wanted to let you know you've got a few neighbors in those caves downhill on the beach!
>>25935183
silvers gave up the Steel gym, I adopted it
>>25935184
let me know if there's anything you want me to do. Adopt your caves as homes into the city, move the city back etc
>>25935152
I like that way of splitting up Dojos and Gyms.
It would require more organisation but it's definitely possible.
>>25932817
>tfw your comfy as fuck village is not on the main map
RIP Snowylodge. I might rebuild you at some point but i will never replace you.
>>25935152
I like this system. It needs some tweaking (maybe make it so winning the right to give out badges makes you gym leader for 1-3 weeks? That'll cut down on confusion over who the leaders are) with some details worked out, this could be good.
>>25935152
To expand on my idea a bit, just because I see people claiming Gyms. In my proposed system, you wouldn't be able to do that right off the bat. First you'd pick a type, build your dojo and begin training. Then, after [span of time] there's a challenge. Each type determines their Gym leader. If you don't have any competition then you get upgraded to a Gym at that point. However, if there are two or more Dojos of a certain type then there's some sort of competition to determine the winner.
Thinking more on the specific nature of the challenge for when there's more than 2 Dojos, the way I would work it is first the Dojos fight among themselves to find the challenger for the Gym title, then the Gym leader and the challenger have a 2/3 battle, both using the team they would use as Gym leader. The idea here is to make it so the current leader doesn't have to fight a ton of battles against multiple challengers and to provide some sort of benefit to being the incumbent.
>>25935242
And they should have to challenge each other with their gym team. I think that goes without saying, but I want to make sure it's clear.
>>25935266
>not me
>writes exactly what I was going to write
I'm spooked out. You're a shoe-in for the Pyschic Gym!
>>25935242
Yeah, I like that. I gave out some badges already but that's on me. A system similiar to that should work quite well.
>>25935242
Actually, thinking some more, this does cause the power level of each Gym to creep up over time. That sounds non-desirable to me but I don't have a solution in mind.
>>25935293
Also (also) it provides incentives for Gym teams to be built to beat teams of their own type. Possibly even specifically for the last Gym leader's team. This may be a good thing, since Gyms traditionally do have weaknesses and have never been highly-optimized teams.
Let me make sure we're on the same page for some of the basics here
>titles
These distinguish people who aren't just playing on the server, and are trying to do something for the community. Titles are Champion, Elite 4, Gym Leader, Dojo Leader.
>Champ
This is the winner of a server-wide bi monthly tournament. A person entering the tournament must present 8 badges to enter. (Or as many badges as we have completed gyms, I'm not sure 8 leaders are ready right now.) There can be only 1 Champ at a time.
>E4
These are the 4 runner ups in the tournament. This title is honorary and has no obligations, other than that you must continue to compete in the tournament's to hold the title. E4 members may set up Arenas and hold battles if they like without risk of losing their title, outside the main tournament.
>Gym Leader
There are only 1 of these of each type. Gym leaders have badges that they give our for defeating them in an official battle. They must defend their title against people who want to run a gym of their type, but only risk losing the badge and being called a Dojo. Gym leaders must be available to take challenges, extended periods of inactivity result in a passing of the title.
>Dojo leader
Also called a Hobbyist Gym Leader, or an Arena Leader. This is mostly unregulated, and is a required status before attempting to become a Gym Leader. Dojo leaders only need a building, and a team themed to one type of Pokemon. Dojo Leaders may only challenge a Gym for their title once every 1-3 weeks, and when they earn the title, they are immune to Dojo challenges for 1-3 weeks.
How is this?
So, let me attempt to compile our ideas, condense, and refine. Feel free to disagree.
>Anyone can create a Dojo and begin training a team. The only reason not to do this is that too many Dojos in one place can crowd things. If you have created a Dojo, you can challenge a Gym Leader.
>Gym Leaders can be challenged by Dojo Leaders. If a Dojo Leader wins, best of 3, the Gym Badge passes to the Dojo Leader. The old Gym becomes a Dojo, and the old Dojo becomes the new Gym. This can occur repeatedly. However, a deposed Gym Leader or failed challenger must wait a week before challenging.
>Every week, if there is a Dojo of a certain type and there is no Gym of that type, it is upgraded to a Gym.
>There will always be a minimum of 9 Gyms. This will become important later.
>As for champion...
>Every month (maybe more?), a tournament happens.
>Every Trainer who has achieved 8 badges can turn them in to participate in this tournament.
>Gym Leaders can also enter the tournament. However, they are also required to turn in 8 badges. They cannot turn in a badge from their own Gym. This means that they must challenge other Gym Leaders for the badges.
>At the end of the tournament, there will be five winners. Each of them must challenge the Elite 4 in a certain order, as dictated by a mini-tournament between the Elite 4 members (the loser is challenged first, etc.).
>If a challenger defeats the first two Elite 4 members but loses to the 3rd, then the first Elite 4 member is no longer an Elite, and the challenger takes the place of the 2nd, while the old 2nd becomes the 1st. This works for any seat.

There is a command you can use that locks your Pokemon so they no longer gain exp, and a different command that sets pokemons level for one battle then after the battle puts it back. Either one of these works for the leaders.
>>25935293
Once the gyms are established, the gym leader would decide the level cap (rounded to the nearest 5). That would stop it from becoming a leveling race. The gym leaders would probably have to switch out their team a bit for the defense battles, though.
For example, I used to play mono-poison in Showdown (OU, not monotype), and I had very few anti-poison moves because it was such an uncommon type.

>If one trainer defeats the Champion and the other does not, the winner is the new Champion, and the loser is the new 4th Elite.
>If neither Trainer defeats the Champion, then they battle each other for the position of 4th Elite. The loser gains the position of 3rd Elite.
>If both trainers defeat the Champion, they must battle each other. The winner is the Champion, and the loser is the new 4th Elite.
Note that any change in position will always bump out the 1st Elite and move anyone below the new Elite on the ladder down by 1.
I know it's complex, but does that work?
>>25935383
>>25935372
Hivemind.
Onto something different.
>Blocklag
I'm still working on fixing the problem. I think it might be a combination of Pixelmon's weird spawning system, and the number of tile entities.
>Just get a new host
That would probably not fix the problem. The current host is using better CPUs than most other hosts (not including dedicated servers which my wallet definitely can't handle) and is letting us use them to their full potential.
>How are you gonna fix it
I have a tracker running in the background now that tells me the TPS and how they changed while also showing me the change in loaded chunks, tile entities and entities. This should help me find the root of the problem.
>My FPS are really low because of your shitty server
This might just be caused by spawn since it has all the pixelmon machines and apricorn tree, all of which are known to poop on FPS.
>When I'm in Spawn I only have under 10 FPS
This might be caused by the Pixelmon config not being changed to match the Servers, This will cause infinitly spawning Pixelmon traders instead of a Villager and will fill up the clients ram till the game crashes. Refer to the Installation guide to change the config accordingly.
>Spawn looks shitty you fat autistic sperglord
People have been telling me that and I'll get to that when the lag issues are fixed.
That should be all. Let's see if I formatted that shit properly and sorry for the longish post
>>25935196
I had planned on having some people build up on the area you've put Steelton anyway, and it's a really good place to live. So I don't really mind you up there. I admit there is a bit of a pride element for me in that that was "my land" but I wasn't really using it anyway. I'd want to hear from the other Prospect resident as well.
We might want to incorporate our two towns into one entity though, since they won't be distinguishable on the map. Something as basic as "Steelton & Prospect Mine" might work but it's a bit of a mouthful. I dunno, I'll think on it and I'd definitely like to hear any ideas you have as well.
>>25935419
Yeah here's another idea. Take the badge off the autist who thought it was a good idea to claim two types, one of which was already taken.
>>25935427
>the steel for Steelton is mined from Prospect Mine
I dig it.
>>25935432
I second this. Or like, twelfth it, because it's been said over and over ITT.
>>25935432
>>25935464
Right, I missed the name. Who was it?
>>25935476
Don't recall it right now. It was someone who set up a poison gym, and took the only poison badge, and then changed their gym to dual typed ground/flying, and now the new real poison gym doesn't have a badge to give out as well. So if you gave a poison badge to someone, its them.
>>25935497
Add on to the rules we're making that you can't change your gym team after you get your badge, because that's dumb as fuck.
>>25932660
pixelmon is back?
huh. I thought it died forever.
>>25935497
>>25935503
That whole thing is kinda on me since I gave out the badges too early without having a clue on what to do.
I might just have to take back the badges when the real systems comes into place. May be a bit cunty but it's the best way to avoid confusion.
>>25935527
It's a necessary evil, I agree.
>>25935527
I think it's fine. Again, people are generally civil about not stepping on each others' toes with gyms. We've got a good community here. Everyone's always sharing and offering to help catch each other shinies when they run out of balls.
>>25935419
I was getting on your case about the gym stuff, but for people complaining about hosting, tell them to shut the fuck up or pay for it themselves.
>>25935642
Set up a donation PayPal and I'd be glad to chip in. $1 from everyone would cover costs, right?
>>25935642
People have a right to complain. I don't really mind that. I just don't like when it's caused by misinformation. Also you weren't getting on my case. I'm relieved that people finally gave some feedback on the gym system so I can properly rework it.
>>25935754
It would but there's definitely a problem with entities loaded chunks and tile entities on the server. Getting a dedicated server would just mask the problem. And I'm not too comfortable with the idea of donations
>>25935812
I'm not sure if this would help or not, or if it's even possible to do, or if it would take too much away from the experience, but what if you turned off the battle animations? I mean the way the Pokemon sort of lunge forward and are knocked back during battle. All attacks have the same animation, and the camera is so shit it's hard to watch it anyways. It might help? I don't know.
So do the gym leaders actually bother having pokemon they refuse to level for their gym teams? Or is it just "you better be minmaxed and top level if you want to have any formal battling at all"?
>>25936095
There's a command that sets both teams Pokemon to a certain level that you can use, so it doesn't matter.
>>25936131
So are "official" Gym Battles just going to be locked to Level 50?
>>25936095
Honestly, physical Gym Leaders kinda puts a wrench in things.
First of all, how would you lock a Pokemon to a level? The more trainers you defeat, the more your team levels up. You'd have to essentially constantly replace your team to keep them at specific levels.
Second, how would you know to use a weak team instead of a strong team? And before you say "badges", keep in mind that a challenger can simply lie and say they have no badges to get the weaker team, and that under the Dojo/Gym/E4 idea pitched over here >>25935372 they'd be turning in their badges anyways.
>>25936131
Or that. That works too.
>>25936095
jesus crust that template is fucking sexy
>>25936149
Well, that solves the level issue, but I for one don't want to have to grind to Lv. 50 before I can even begin to challenge our rudimentary League. I like the "badge reporting" system, and we are kinda trying our best not to be dicks here.
>>25936095
sorry for the offtopic, but do you have the template?
![EJdwBEX[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/cIAQIpi.png "EJdwBEX[1].png")
So if I hacked up Pixelmon to make item acquisition like >>25933797 less retarded and fix the many, many, MANY things wrong with the current mounting system, would the server adopt it or would I just be wasting my time?
>>25936208
Here you go, anon.

Player battles don't grant exp anyways.

Some additional thoughts on my original idea to address the level question. How about if each Gym has two qualities: Type and Level Range. There would be an array of Level Ranges available that would somehow be divided between each Gym. As an example say there's four Gyms on the server, one Normal, one Ground, one Fire, and one Poison. They would then be assigned level 15, level 25, level 35, and level 45 in some order. Each Gym's lowest level pokemon would be 2-3 levels lower and ther highest level pokemon 2-3 levels above. I feel like there should be some game-like progression in the levels of the Gyms, but I'm not sure how assign them fairly. Who really wants to be the level 15 Gym? I think there's already a lot of tournaments and I don't want to add the extra overhead of Gyms fighting for level spots but that does seem to be the most egalitarian option.

thanks sir
Has anyone managed to secure a reliable source of wool? I'm looking to buy a couple dozen but I'm not sure where to peg the price. 1 gold bar for 10 wool blocks? I find a lot more gold than Flaafys since I spend most of my time underground and I don't know if anyone's ranching them yet.
>>25936498
There's a Mr Wool at spawn. He sells wool for gold.
>>25936276
>>25936313
Why are you posting this?
>>25936521
Oh, neat. Guess I was hoping for a bit more player-run economy but this totally works.
>>25936319
None of this matters since you can set the battle level with a simple command, raising or lowering both teams Pokemon to the same level. If a challenger says they haven't fully evolved their team yet, you could set the level to 30. If it's someones final gym battle, 50 or 60. It's all able to be handled battle by battle on the fly.
>>25936538
There still is a player economy. There's a pokeballs vendor at spawn too, but Capptier sells ultra balls for almost half price in order to bring in gold. If you want to ranch flaafy, just set the price below Mr. Wool.
>>25936546
Yeah, people have mentioned this. I just don't like either idea of A) every Gym scaling to the level of the challenger and B) people self-reporting how strong they are overall. B isn't as much of an issue since this server has cool peeps but I'd still rather not have that incentive there.
>>25936583
What I mean is that the topic of level is up to the gym leaders at the moment. They can take any challenger or set levels or whatever. I think most people liked in Pokemon Origins seeing Brock take only 2 pokeballs off a shelf because Red didn't have a badge yet.
somebody please take the tirtouga out of the fossil machine at spawn
Ok, Having some trouble here.
I just started about 2 hours ago and teleported to spawn but it crashed my game entirely. Now every time I log in it crashes my game at spawn.
Any suggestions please?
>>25936773
Spawn is crashing the game.
If you have a home, get it ready on your clipboard and enter it with ctrl+v real quick before you crash.
>>25936792
>>25936773
Spawn seems fucked.
Everyone seems to crash when they are at spawn :/
>>25936792
>>25936798
Sad thing is, I needed to heal my pokemon and now I guess I have no way to.
>>25936804
Other towns have healers. If you can get away from spawn I know Shitropolis and Moonruin at least have one. Someone would probably be happy to have you teleport to them.
>>25936773
Same, just tried to join, could be the mass amount of people at spawn, almost everyone is there
Seems like it's because of the trading machine
I accidentally the server, sorry guys.
Is there an official skype group?
>>25936561
>Capptier sells ultra balls for almost half price in order to bring in gold
N-no I don't. That's captain_silvers. Wrong cap mate.
>>25936856
why not move the spawn away from the place that laggs the most?
>>25936277
Pixelmon is closed-source so you'd have to acquire the source code somehow.
Also, I think Gary doesn't want to have too many mods for obvious reasons. But, if you get the source code and your mod is good, then maybe.
>>25936870
Removed the trade machine for now. thanks
>>25936613
True. I guess my only real problem is the possibility of people under-reporting their number of badges. I don't have any specific concerns with this and I think that's the sort of thing any remotely decent person would just not do, but I still don't like having flawed systems.
I'm pretty reluctant to take on any responsibility whatsoever, but honestly it would be very simple for me to setup a quick little Google spreadsheet showing who has what badges. Then as long as it's the Gym leaders' responsibility to post in-thread whenever someone wins then we could have a nice record of the badges. I think that has applications beyond just preventing a very mild form of exploiting as well. It's just nice to have a public leaderboard in general.
Does the level set allow you to set a lower level to be a higher level?
For example, make a level 40 a level 50.
If so I think this solves any level problem.
did they ever make all the models 3d?
I haven't played this in awhile
>>25936977
I'm not a fan of that, personally. People should still level up their Pokemon. And I mean I know EVs are a thing but still.

You do realize what the game we're all now obsessed with was written in, right?
Actually, Java's not that bad when you're trying to design software to run on everything, from a toaster to a Cray supercomputer. C++ is good if you know the specs for the hardware you're writing on, but I can't deny that Java has its uses.

He's probably in early computer science classes. No modern university says "Welcome to the world of programming. Lets begin with a language old enough to be your dad."

This. My early Comp. Sci stuff was mostly teaching us java as a starter language since it's so easy to learn and so widely used.

>Server Full
What?
How?
>>25937834
To add on to this, most of the towns have very different themes/aesthetics. There's a Cave city, a Mesa city, a Snow city, a Shit city, etc. Check them out, do some wandering, and make a decision whenever.
I will say it is beneficial to plant some roots in a least one city, just because they'll have some established infrastructure you can probably use. Sure you could just /home there whenever you need to use an avil or whatever, but it's nicer to use the things when you're an actual citizen.
>>25937830
>>25937834
I've always gone solo on past 2 gens I played but I actually dont know what to do right now so I'm thinking of actually joining a city this time. Which settlement could really use a player right now?
