Kingdom of the Sky is an Adventure map designed for one or two people. What makes this different from many of the other maps is it actually has Voice over dialog to provide the story elements!
This is accomplished by playing videos on Youtube when certain checkpoints are reached in the game. Instead of stopping the game to read a long text file the player will simply Alt-Tab to his/her browser and play the video to listen to the audio for the storyline! What's even better than that is as soon as the video starts playing, the player can continue playing the map while the dialog plays in the background.
The videos are set up so that each video has a "Video Response" that is the next part of the story. No searching for videos at all!

You are about to leave your house early one morning when a stranger summons you pleading for your help. A great evil has befallen his homeland. You are called upon, you must free him and save the Kingdom of the Sky
Is it possible to get the mp3 files? Would make nicer walkthoughs if i had mp3s and not downloaded youtube videos pasted into Vegas, well the download mp3 sound file because a picture makes a bad video....but yah. I wanted to do a walkthough and have your voice pop in. Would be better to fade and add something rather than tab to a video, or possibly just tab and play the mp3.
I have the original .wav files that i can convert to mp3, not sure when i will be able to have the time though.
in the meantime you can put the ripped videos into vegas and then just disable the video portion leaving the audio to play while you keep playing
sorry i couldn
t respond sooner, first day 10 post limit stopped me.
Anyways, you want to use the patcher for all the reasons Losm said. Also it is very easy to unpatch the texture files when you are done, so it won't be permanant.
The map really was designed for specific textures, pumpkins for example would look really silly if the correct textures are not used.
As far as "the puzzle" most people are referring to the maze of insanity i think. It was designed to be hard, you have to be observant.
I just played through a bit of it but I couldn't do too much because atm my computer is lag central. :/ However, from my 10-20 mins of playing I would say it's a really good map. I like the video note system, and the map in itself is awesome. I'd just say that there are so many monsters and way too many creepers, they blow everything up. But still, a very good map. :smile.gif:
I used obsidian to "creeper proof" all of the important areas. All redstone and special stuff is protected.
There are a lot of mobs in some of the areas but that is what makes it hard. I may have not given enough items at the start i will test it some more to make sure.
When you start the game it will tell you to read "note 1" which is included in the zip file. That will have the link to the first video. Also the READEME file has the link as well.

!!! This map uses a custom texture pack (included with download), you must use this texture pack or else you will not be able to complete the map or fully appreciate the layout. !!!
*EXTRA*
To make this or any custom map a more fun experience with less creeper problems I suggest using a creeper Anti grief mod. There is an example of one of these mods below:
There are two parts that must be installed. The map itself and the texture pack. Although you may be tempted to use your own texture pack, this will cause the map to be partially broken as certain items of interest will not be seen correctly if the wrong texture pack is being used.
1. Copy the folder named "Kingdom of the Sky" into your minecraft saves folder. This can be found by going to
C:/Users/*Your Username*/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft/saves/
2. Copy the texture pack zip file included with this download to the "texturepacks" folder in your minecraft folder.
1. No breaking blocks of any kind
2. No placing blocks
3. No fire, flint and steel, or TNT
4. You are allowed to craft weapons, armor, food, and torches
5. Play on Normal or Hard
6. You can tame wolves! That's why they are there!
7. You can Enchant your equipment
Difficulty
This map is intended to be hard. I expect players to die several times. To avoid a lot of run back time, make use of the beds you see on the map. No seriously, I am not kidding. This will be one of the most challenging (and also rewarding) maps you will play.
Hidden Chests
There are a large amount of hidden chests in this map. There are no diamonds or other collectables to keep track of. In this game, finding the hidden chests will keep you alive. In fact, there are a few chests that can only be found if the player dies.
YouTube
This map does not use traditional notes to move the story along. Instead you will have story elements in the form of audio from videos on YouTube.
All the other videos are in the form of Video Responses to each preceding video.
While playing, when you come across a sign that says "Watch Video 5" you will Alt-Tab to your browser, click on the next video and as soon as it starts playing, go back into Minecraft. You should not sit and watch the YouTube video as there is no animation, only audio.
Thank you very much, I hope you enjoy the map!

probably not without the addition of mods. I wanted to steer clear of mods for this map

I have the original .wav files that i can convert to mp3, not sure when i will be able to have the time though.
in the meantime you can put the ripped videos into vegas and then just disable the video portion leaving the audio to play while you keep playing

I wanted to keep the file size as small as possible, and also have a way for people to leave comments on the different parts.
What i will prolly do in future versions, is 1. include mp3s, and 2. include text for those that want it.
