Hey guys. So, I'm planning on moving stuff to SP02's Black Wool starting base-and proceed to beat the map next time I stream. If anyone is interested in watching me being boring with moving all the loot I'd like there, feel free to show up-I will be considering the stream while I get something to eat for dinner, and then I'll hope to see you there.

Hey there all. I stream CTMs as well as other indiegames, RPGs and more. Check me out: www.twitch.tv/aurabolt
I have a feeling this will make CTM maps brutally difficult unless they are really nerfed.
The reason maps have got so much harder over time is because the game has got so much easier. That just means maps made for 1.9 will need to be balanced around 1.9. More items, less spawners, or less monsters per spawner, lower damage attributes on spawner mobs, tons of ways to make them still balanced. I personally hate the swarm approach that has been pretty common lately. Monsters don't hit hard enough so they just have to throw 30 at you and kill your durabilities.
Alright so I have added some more houses and took some of your guys advice. The only thing I cant really figure out is a nice block variation. Any of you guys have an idea? And how does the area look now? Thanks
If you're using MCEdit, one method is to use a "Varied Fill" brush on the wall. I think that would look good here.

I don't care about the Xs. You can call me Navarog. Or Nava if you really want to be a hipster. It's fine.
Hey there guys, new area in progress (Spawning Grounds). Any thoughts? Only 40% is completed, lacks enough decoration, more soulsand stalactites, alternative paths other than the main and any other structure. What types of trees believe that should put, sequoia or modified acacia? Have a good day!
Hmm, looks nice so far. I think acacia might look good here.

Ok. So someone (cough* Caecillus cough*) decided to really torch up the monument... Every single block of it. I toned it down a bit for you all. (Don't worry Cae, I put all the torches in a chest at the wool monument.) Also, thanks for the jukebox, whoever put that there! (And my birthday is the 27th of november.)

Hey Kyle try to keep comments like that to the reddit which is in my signature because this is directed towards the "CTM SMP" and not here, we have the digest and that's about as much as I want to be involved in this thread

Anyone have an idea of keeping buttons and commands block safe without bedrock or obsidian? I just now remembered that they can be blown up, and the players are required to use some of the buttons or pressure plates to get around one of the areas i'm working on. I did plan on having natural mobs spawning in the area, although if i have to i can make it only spawners (although i would prefer if i didn't have to get rid of natural spawns because i have setup a ton of netherack torch things for players to use to light areas early on in the map).

You can use barrier blocks, other then that I can't think of anything. I don't see any reason you would need anything else though, all of the other maps I've played have gotten on fine with the tools we have. Just put other blocks around the bedrock/obsidian, and leave one block with the button on it.

The CTM SMP Digest #2
After some good reviews last week Ty and I are back (but he did like everything this week so shoutout to him!)
We decided to post this on Friday instead of Saturday because RageCraft III hype!
What is the CTM SMP?
As in the title, it's a SMP server played on a CTM map! There is a bit of "cheating" to make the map more 1.8 friendly and to deal with the fact that we have 16 people playing a map meant for 1-4 people. By cheating I mean that we do things like build teleporters and make some non-renewable resources... renewable!

Major News
We are having a blast playing through TikaroHD’s Simulation Protocall 02: Overload. I have decided to give the whole server about 5 stacks of iron blocks to share for the rest of the season, and I also added a coal block spawner in case we ever needed coal. The Monument is almost complete, with it only missing the black wool. The group has yet to set a date on attempting to conquer black wool.

That's it for this week, as stated before please leave some feedback and if people really dislike this, I won't post it!
Also we are currently accepting applications but the process is become harsher than before so if interested send me a PM or leave a message on our new subreddit.
EDIT: Wow this server is more than I ever expected it to be and it makes me really happy to know that people are enjoying and having fun on it. That being said, the server is currently pretty much full and I'm only accepting people who I know from the community, very sorry but that's how it has to be for the time being. Thanks to everyone for their support!
I started this a couple of days ago and finished it today, it took me 8 hours to complete (Yes everything, spawners, loot, and the actual area). What do you think?
I still have to test it and probably publish it tomorrow afternoon
I found this little gem just now in case anyone was stuck for a dungeon floor design
@Carlus I dont think that the vegetation has any real connection to the lava unless the area was natural beforehand and was taken over by the lava... Perhaps change the natural blocks to obsidian or something more lava-esque? Or change the lava to water?

Oh my god, I have been trying to find that for months. I used to use that for D&D, and was hoping to find it again for a D&D Campaign I'm writing.

Hey, sorry for asking this here but I couldn't find a forum thread, and your reddit forum doesn't seem active enough that I'd get a response quickly.
I would like to join you if I can, if not with this map with the next one, as I can never seem to complete a CTM map on my own. I'm thinking perhaps if I do it with others I'll learn enough to be able to. Thanks a lot for reading, I hope my posting about it here isn't to bothersome.
Hey all. So....if I said I was up to doing a stream today, who would be up for it? Because I feel an affinity. I feel a burning desire, deep-far, soaring, complete-that must be cleansed.

If by stream and burning desire you mean Ragecraft 3, I'd be willing to watch and play along. I'm not exactly mainstream or known in the community though, so I don't know how much my saying that means.
Alright, I will most likely be streaming today, playing Ragecraft 3 with TheNotoriousPIG, who will probably also be streaming.

Hey guys, I just realized- there doesn't seem to be any good, up- to date guide on playing CTM's. All I know of are an old incomplete forum thread, the really old practice map vechs made (which is likely outdated), and the series Rockenrollforlife started but never finished. Now, a map or video series could be too much work, but would anyone mind makeing a simple written guide for people to go to?
I would myself if I were good enough, but unfortuneately I'm one of the people who needs it- I've never once gotten to complete a CTM map. I've gotten to the second to last/ last area, but now further, usually due to being tired of loseing all my gear to the point were most of it is useless.

So I just saw this video which explained how the 1.9 update will make the game much harder.

Just put other blocks around the bedrock/obsidian, and leave one block with the button on it.
As far as I know, it's impossible to glitch through two layers of bedrock or barrier blocks so try that.
