Title: Semi-Annual Feral Olympics!
Post by: Warrior4ever on June 21, 2013, 04:31:23 pm
This idea came to me a while ago actually, and it's not quite something that would be added...rather attended. (So if this is in the wrong spot, very sorry :-X ) The concept is simple; be the first and/or fastest to complete a set of obstacles to win the Gold, Silver, or Bronze medal. There would only be three events, since our movement capabilities on Feralheart are limited;

Platforming: Like you've never done before. You thought Ascension Island was hard? That thing's a playground compared to this.
                 Suggested Training: Ironically, Sky's Rim & Ascension Island

Character Designs: No, not preset designs, just plain old markings and RGB.
                Suggested Training: Maybe look up pictures of animals? Experiment with the color scales?

Maze Course:  As the name states, you'd try and get through a maze as fast as you can.
                Suggested Training: Find your way to Atlantis without using the mini map.


Sadly, I'm not sure if I should continue making the map. I'd rather have better events (except platforming), and I'm not sure how many people would actually come to the event. I'd love to go forward with this idea, but if no one will come to it I don't see the point of continuing. Thoughts?

I like this idea. Seems..... Legit. XD. I like the Atlantis one, and the platforming one, too. The character design shouldn't include mm, because what if the judges aren't allowed to download? I also think that there should be a specific animal to impersonate. Now, my iPad battery is almost drained. Springles out!!!

This sounds like a very a very fun and creative way to bond with fellow floofs, as well as get to know them a bit better by going through these well though out courses. I very much like this idea, I'd definitely participate if it does happen to go through. Sounds very fun, to have possibly an Olympic event once a year perhaps?

And since you are making it, those who'd like to join it could download the map while the others don't. But of course, to prevent randomers using the map for their own, I suggest making a thread for Olympic applications, and those who'd like to participate, you can PM them the link once their application is filled out. But what's the Olympics without a proper audience? Those who'd like to stay and watch can notify you, thus getting the link?

Just a simple suggestion, because I very much would love to see how this pulls through. You should wait for moar opinions before making it official, though. c:

This is actually quite interesthing
Just the last 2 firstly
2. one
What would judges look for these? who is the prettiest? what?
Everyone has a different taste of word beautiful.
3. one
1. If you make it then it can get quite confusing firstly minimaps might tell the way (lets say me and my friend are there we see each other dots)
also when you make the maze with height map.
2. You can glitch over the stuff by dash.
If you even disable the flying and everyone must wear wings if they want really badly they can glitch over the stuff.

Anyways I kind of like this contest idea. But yeah keep your work up! ;)

I think the more I do think about jumping the steps from AI and making it into a legit game would be fun. Although me being Feareh I would just rage quit cause I suck at the steps. For sure I think the  Platform and Maze does sound like so much fun. Although I do feel like the middle one does sound like the Preset competition and that does recognize people's creativity in designing a character. I think your on the right track though. I do like this competitive idea for sure.

The platforming I really want to do. Sounds like a ton of fun to me :D

The character design thing though, I'd actually think of something like a fashion show, not presets, but character design, closest one to the species theme wins. Ya know what I mean? Is this what you mean by that...?

The maze thing I'm confused about when you say Atlantis, because Atlantis is a public map in FH... I don't get it. ^^ Atlantis as in a made map by you...?

I'm up for the platforming totally. ^^

I think I may have phrased that wrong. If I do happen to make this official I won't be using public maps at all, I was simply giving suggestions as to where competitors could practice before the map is out. In my opinion, if you can find your way through South Pole and to Atlantis without using your mini map, that's basically like finding your way through a maze. Sorry for the confusion ^.^'

Call it Feralymics! I had aroud the same idea too xD so I *thumbs up* this.
More community events :D

Events:
Racing a straight line:
The fastest E spammer wins!

Racing a curved track
(around deep enough to have racers unnable to jump out.) E-spammers will get stuck if not wise xD !
First that crosses line wins.

Obstacle race:
Curved race with obstacles.
First to cross the finish line wins!

Jumping race:
Players jump in a straight line on tall pillars above lava.
You fall in you are out of the race. First to finish the track wins!

Jumper:
An area is filled with tall narrow randomly spaced pillars (above lava with lava falls and stuff :D ) Competitors are on them and an event master will shout JUMP all so often /every few seconds, not much time to rest!) At that time all must jump on another rillar, but not on the same one they cannot jump back to their previous pillar. Judges will be monitoring them closely.
Last one standing wins!

Arena RP wrestling:
Wrestling
The first to give in wins.

Climbing course:
Climb a wall that includes many jumpable objects from trees to rocks and barrels.
First one toget to the top wins!

Island jump.
Something alongside the likes of AI, but harder!

Maze run will be strictly monitored by FLYING judges! No height map for this, no dashing! Multiple same-routed mazes!

Other:

Tribunes for all events!
amphitheatre (anyone wanna do Hamlet?)
MUD Tick-tac-toe (I have the item)
Ristanc
Giant chess board
Pools
Random sircles and meeting places for other custom events
Scoreboards
Park
Tents you can enter
Rooms for staff and judges

Make more of an event map than a Feralypics one :D both could be included together as a fun-eventing map everyone could attend for fun stuff!

Very good idea Warrior, its fun and I would love to join if it ever happen ^^

I can't quote, but what warrior responded.

Thanks, I think... Neon is awesome. *blushes because trolls are neon... Sometimes.* xD
There should be three canines, and three feline species. My suggestions are that there is
Ocelot, panther, and house cat. You would have to do research and make them the exact size and weight.
You would also have to post a screenshot to one of the judges, for proof that you did it. You would choose
One animal, of each model. Canines would be wolf, fox, and any breed of house dog.


I will voulenteer to be a judge, if this event ever takes place.

Actually Vessan, I have more than one of the ideas you put as "other" already in the map. I have a circle like pattern in the height map (hard to explain), in 4 of the five circles are small camps for visitors to stay in if they feel like it. There is a large portion of the map sectioned off for judges and competitor quarters, with a special house for Mods and Admins if they so choose to come to the event. All the events in fact are in their own little colosseums, which is why I've only made three contests(the colosseums are a pain to decorate and install elevators). The circles themselves are like pools in a way. I suppose you could think of it like a ring,  with the actual metal of the ring being water and the center and around it being land.Then think of those rings lined up in a spaced out version of the Olympic rings symbol, with small ponds spaced around it.  I've custom made bridges to cross the water, even though they can easily be jumped over, and the general design of the map is park-ish in a sense. With trees and foliage randomly spaced about and campfires to sit around. I'm not sure how else I would create the more game like ideas, (tick tack toe, chessboard) but the map isn't huge so it's quite easy to find members to chat with (seeing as general was removed). Maybe I'll make a second map for next year's events with the racing & jumping courses you listed, but for now I'd like to keep it simple and see how it goes. If it turns out to be a wonderful community event, I'll add more skill courses.

I'll keep you in mind Leafles, but before I pick any judges specifically I'd like to invite our good friend Redlineslies to be a judge, if he so happens to see this thread.

Now, here's my reason why the map isn't done; I've tested and tried it many times, experimented with several things, yet still whenever I enter the map through Cape of Distant Worlds many of my objects and particles disappear. Do I simply need to export the map first? Or move files to another spot? I want this map to be as awesome as possible for you guys, and I can't do that without some of the awesome items that keep disappearing! Any ideas on a solution? (I could have the map up within days if I could fix this problem)

General is not removed in custom map deary, and awesome :D
I had a map like that but me computer hates when I work on maps for too long. It had many race courses and fun games.
On a chessboard many games can be played besides chess. The figurines itself are players, more fun and creativity.

Did you export the map?
Title: Re: Semi-Annual Feral Olympics!
Post by: Warrior4ever on June 22, 2013, 05:08:18 pm
Derp, forgot it was in private maps still XD I haven't exported it because I wasn't sure what it would have me do once I pressed the button. If you haven't guessed, this is really my first publishing of a map( besides my group map, which has the same problem), and I don't want to click the wrong button and mess junk up. I can't believe I didn't think of players as chess picecs, so simple x3
Title: Re: Semi-Annual Feral Olympics!
Post by: Vessan on June 22, 2013, 06:12:38 pm
And it is fun too :D
No button will make stuff wrong. Maybe, but the probablity is really low ;)
If ya need map making help I could easilly give you some.
If you want I can easilly provide you with some meshes or objects, even medal wearable items.

This sounds like fun ^^ If/When Kov comes back and he adds it, I would happily participate.  I would personally like to see the platforming XD A. Island is really hard, and you say it's a playground compared to that 8| I thought it was hard XD
Title: Re: Semi-Annual Feral Olympics!
Post by: Warrior4ever on June 22, 2013, 09:09:49 pm
XD I'm trying to make it pretty hard, but I don't want it to be impossible. Here's what some of the jumps include:
-Almost vertical(one jump almost on top of another)
-Water jumps
-jumping through hoops (not really hard, but it looks cool x3)
-jumping through flaming hoops (bit harder, dem flames can confuse ya ;~;)
-jumping ON hoops (no, not like AI, like jumping on the rings...when they're sideways. Think of a ring at AI as flat, these rings are standing up)
-Sphere jumps (like the water sphere jumps, but solid)
-And plain ol' platform jumps

I still have a bit to do on the platform and C.D. (Character design) colosseums, but I'm working on finishing up the maze now. Here's a community decision; should I include derp items, such as a steam room and/or snack bar? I'll probably do the steam room anyways because it just sounds fun to me, but I!d still like to see your opinions and ideas for other derpy attractions.  

(Not to fear Dunafloof! While I think it'd be wonderful if this was added officially, I am actually talking about a map and competition I'm creating.(if you haven't guessed from that junk^ x3))

I'd love to see wearable medals Vessan, but I'm not sure if they would be practical really, unless everyone attending the event downloaded the items. Still love to see 'em though ^^ I'm pretty good mesh wise, I find it entertaining to create objects using basic shapes, plus some others I've downloaded. Who knows though? Maybe there's a super awesome mesh I've missed out on, could you perhaps post a few screenshots?

That sounds fun :D
Anyway yea, I can link you to some item pictures.
Firt my DA galery full of blender animals: http://littletamarin.deviantart.com/gallery/44089292 (http://littletamarin.deviantart.com/gallery/44089292)
Some random wearable item:
(http://memberfiles.freewebs.com/69/91/61089169/photos/undefined/screenshot_05112013_185910379.png)
It is a low poly flower, as low poly as the plant behind her.

^^ this one is the most recent one, the flower crown was made ages ago. Now I model derectly on the animal.
There is a saddle pad on one of my threads about a horse mod I made under mods and addons on this forum.
Most of em will be made into an item pack at some point  ;D
