I'm currently making a server, and wanted to know if this would interest anyone.

Version #1 

110 custom Tiles-20 grass tiles, 20 water tiles, 20 lava tiles, 10 poison tiles, 10 town type    tiles, 20 Design tiles, 10 "special effect" tiles.

5 Custom Armors- 1 starter armor, 2 common armors, 1 rare armor, 1 boss armor (super rare.)

20 Custom Objects- Lights, statues, chairs/benches, tile decoration, lots more.

20-40 Custom Items- Keys, chests, Potions, npc drops, gold, necklaces, gloves, scrolls, crystals, many more ideas.

5 Custom Weapons- 1 bow, 1 old type gun, 2 swords 1 staff.

3 Custom npcs- Stoner(hell boss), Water type boss, grass type boss.

L/R Walls



COMPLETED TO DATE- 70 Tiles(20 grass tiles, 20 water tiles, 10 lava tiles, 10         poison tiles, 10 design/town type tiles.)

                                    4 Objects(light pole, statue, weed tree!, chests.

                                    1 Armor(no name yet.

Plans- I will be finishing 40 more tiles. Once completed, I will create 16 more objects and 20-40 Items. Finally I will start working on npc's/weapons/armors.

Feel free to provide feedback, and suggestions to make a great server.

Just looks reagular to me. Servers with custom things would interest me just as much..

it's not exactly the Looks of the "inside" its the servers features.. aswell.

If you are really going 2 make custom shit than u should compress ur files.

*Kugh PEcompact*

I don't know any servers that have much customs (either than armors/items/npcs.) Basically none have very many tiles which is one of the more important aspects (for looks). Keep in mind this is all for the first version, and there would be a client update every month. These are just ideas I have for the first version, and I plan to have much more. This is nowhere near complete, and are only ideas, and this server won't be (your average server.) Your input is appreciated, however I don't think features are that important, but I will add certain things, as I progress.

i suggest never compressing your gfx files it makes the client terrible slow and it's still easy to decompress it the only thing you get back for it is a slow cilent

So If I set it so you need a password to view pubs,gfx's, ect it slows down the server? I just don't want people to steal my work and claim it as their own.

"Pineapples and shit."

Is it really that laggy though? Iv'e never had to compress anything, so I don't know what the difference would be for lag.

You got 2 options.

1. Don't compress your files and have the possiblity of other people "stealing" your pixels.
2. Compress your files and this possibility will be less but people can still steal it.

Wouldn't you need to know the password to be able to steal it?

Lol no, you can just decompress them again with a certain tool for that.

I'm not too sure about all this so your posts help me. So if I were to set a password, and encrypt the filenames, people can just decompress it ? Sorry for my lack of knowledge, I'm learning slowly but surely.

When I was making a server with custom things, I used a custom sprite that was completely unaligned with EO's, so even if someone stole my items they wouldn't work correctly. (This communities lazy, and they would need to even make their own alignment sheets just to make new shit for thesprite)

Also if you're showing mockups all the time to the community, just looking at the dates of your post can prove you had them first. Though if somebodies using you're work for their server anyway, chances are its because they aren't capable of doing something on their own and their server wont lastanyway.
