    Kaiju posted a message on "The Grind" RPG/CTM style adventure map(looking for input)
    So I'm lost in the tree...well more so WITH the tree...anyone have experience with labyrinths? it's not necessarily a maze but it does wind and diverge and stuff like that a lot. I don't want it to be too linear/easy/boring/claustrophobic but I don't want it to be too overwhelming. So if anyone has experince playing or building labyrinths or giant trees, I'd love some help/ideas/guidance.

    You are all not understanding me, imagining objections that I have not stated... A starting point to just for FUN map sharing between friends could be handled with allowing a form of ownership transfer or co-ownership tag (as I've already suggested as a possibly more acceptable first step). This would allow the owner of the file to share the file with specific friends... step 1 - friends/siblings, etc. playing on the same Xbox and step 2 specific friends in their friends lists... without making the costs of setting up systems/servers/ etc. to make the maps available to the general public. (Of course, this probably isn't good enough for you all BECAUSE what you really want is to transport the entire PC Minecraft experience/culture onto the Xbox/console systems.)

    The mention of mods is because the reality on the PC is that many public maps are made available and are popular because the incorporate various mods into them so that you would need to also download a mod in order to play the map (either on your own or on a server utilizing that map as it's base... and some of the those servers have become actual mini-Minecraft businesses). In implementing such features, it is only prudent for Microsoft to anticipate such growth... meaning that they are wise to set up a system that could appropriately handle such events. That sort of system would have some cost to the company. THOSE COSTS (whether or not they are large or small) should be paid for by the USERS OF THAT SYSTEM... not the rest of the MInecraft players who would never download a publicly available Minecraft map. I DO NOT OBJECT TO PUBLIC MAP SHARING, but I don't want to see the price of game increased to match the price of a game like Halo nor do I want to pay a higher fee for a Gold membership to cover the costs, etc. nor do I want the account security of the current system compromised in any way.

    You're not really contributing to solutions. More so focusing on throwing up problems. If I'm only gonna share the map with other people on my xbox, why not just let them play on my profile or on split screen?

    Also, how about coming up with ways it COULD work rather than pointing out all this technical stuff that HYPOTHETICALLY keeps it from working?

    Sending a map file to someone is different from charging them to play on a server.

    They already want mods and have an insatiable appetite that no amount of updates will please.

    When you send someone else a map there's no cost to run it because it's not your problem.

    Microsoft isn't hosting the maps.

    There is no need for cloud transactions because there's no need for player to player money transfer because not everyone is a youtuber that charges money to join a server that isn't even that great. Lookin' at you, person who wont be named to avoid upsetting people, and your little 100% fan created server that you take credit for.

    Why do you keep peddling Gold memberships?

    Again no one is talking about selling maps.

    1) Dont get a credit card. They're evil. 2) Dont give your xbox all your credit information. 3) No one is suggesting you sell maps.

    Why would I care about sharing maps with other profiles on my xbox?



    I have a feeling you're creating problems where there aren't any or expanding on small issues that can be easily resolved. You're really coming across as Anti-PCist/Microsoft Cultist. I really don't see the problem in being able to send a file from one xbox to another. It can only be opened by Minecraft anyways. No one is gonna trigger skynet, no one is gonna ruin the xbox, no one is gonna bankrupt Macrosoft, the worst that can happen is no one has FUN on your map.

    Because sending a map file to friends is different than charging people to enter a server.

    I have a feeling you're a console purist. I don't want to make anything a business. I just want to feel like the time I'm putting into maps isn't wasted. I don't have gold because 1) It's a waste of money on my end. 2) It wouldn't be worth my money even if I had it to spend. I bought Xbox minecraft for 2 reasons. My computer cant handle Minecraft and I'm not good with keyboard controls. I built a town blank for people to play on and build their own houses and businesses but I never intended to 1) Use it. 2) Use it for my own personal gain. I have an adventure map I'm working on but I'm not selling tickets and wouldn't if I could. I'm not asking for mods. I'm not asking for special treatment. I'm not asking for money. I'm not asking for something that would bring about the end of the world as you know it. I just thought that the ability to share maps would be really FUN. FUN is what it's all about anyways. Who cares if consoles become more like PCs or if PCs become more like consoles. Singularity is the eventual result of all roads anyways. Doesn't matter if you travel East and I travel West, eventually we'll reach the same point. At some point in the future all diversity will be weeded out. Everyone will have the same skin color, speak the same language and we'll all be playing on the same machine and probably the exact same game. So until then, why cant we implement some sort of LEGAL map sharing?

    So the mail analogy would work?

    What about the simplified mail analogy?

    Minecraft map = letter.

    Microsoft = postal worker.

    Other players = that part of your family you feel obligated to talk to but would rather do it by mail than by phone.

    The letter is written on your xbox. You can then mail it to whoever. The letter passes through the postal exam to make sure it isnt hazardous or illegal and is then delivered to whoever. It'd be like sending a message on Live. They can open it and play it alone whenever. If they wanna play with friends the rule of Gold will obviously still apply. I guess you could argue about stamps though.

    So as for textures and mashups, that's the other persons problem. But the file itself should be fine being passed from one user to another? How about just like you can mail letters, you can send map files? That way no external housing is really needed. That works, right?

    I swear one of these days I'm gonna figure out what you people are talking about. Darn you, Obamacare, for not having proper technological education in the American school system!

    at 300,000,000 the game starts to crash and no blocks are real. thats why with 1.8 they added the boundary around there.

    what about this. there are map sharing sites out there but that's illegal. what if they just made that legal?

    The wiki says a fully explored PC minecraft map is 5GB
    Sounds excessive though

    biggest I've made is 10ish MB and it had a ton of stuff. Halo 4 maps run about the same unless they're chocked full of crap but even then it's only a little higher which is impressive considering it looks like it'd run a lot higher.



    but hey kids...The MOOORRREEE YOOOUUU KNOOOWWWW.
