BitTown v2

[Skybax]

Hooray for BitTown!

If you don't remember what BitTown was, it's basically a giant map with things (mostly houses) made by a bunch of other people, and compiled into one. I'm resurrecting it! (With your help of course!)

I'm looking for houses for people. So, I'm going to set some guidelines for submissions to the map. They're "guidelines" meaning if you really really must disobey them, talk to me and I'll see what you want to do. Here we go!

It's a HTF gametype, which means each house has to have an HTF goal somewhere in it (and be accessible) to qualify.
Each house can have a maximum of two force fields (not touching or too close to a wall to make them unkillable).
Each house can have a maximum of five turrets, if you're in to that sort of thing. I know some people aren't
Only ONE resource item per house. This is to prevent abusing engineer PROFUSELY.
Only ONE health and energy pack that is accessible.
EVERYTHING that regenerates has a minimum time of 10 seconds. I will be checking.

I'm TENTATIVELY setting the suggested building space to 1020x1020 points for the accessible space, and 1530x1530 points for decoration that involves walls. Text or line decoration has no specific limit, but please be moderate as to the area you take up

I'm also looking for BitTown Attraction submissions!
These include the following:
BitForest I've already made this.
BitLake (To swim with the fishies)
BitCaves (For dungeons. Multiple submission spots available)
BitCarnival (Whatever kind of fun things you can think of to make [Maybe bobdaduck can donate a BitFencing activity ])

For anything else you can think of that might be BitTown related that I haven't mentioned, shoot me a PM and we can discuss it

AND NOW. We have the topic of Team Claiming.
I have obviously already claimed the color Red as my team. It's mine.
Shush.

Fordcars is GREEN
Little_Apple is RUBY
bobdaduck is PURPLE
sky_lark is BLACK
Quartz is YELLOWGREEN
Bob is WHITE
FoOtloOse is CYAN
tazinator is SKY BLUE

This means that ALL TEAMS ARE TAKEN.

We will now go to Team Joining.
For every two people that joins your team, you can add another 1020x1020 section to your house! That's right!
BIGGER team means a BIGGER house!

Rules: Each team member must be accepted by the Team Captain to join, as well as have the Team Captain's permission to leave their team. So choose wisely, as you may be stuck there. Feel free to collaborate with your team on the house additions!

LET THE BITTOWNING COMMENCE!

I AM GREEN

[Little_Apple]

IM UH... DARK RED. RUBY.

[Skybax]

I've been asked if it has to be a "house" that is submitted. The answer is no. You can live in whatever the hell you want to live in. I don't care if it's a tree, a mountain, or a pile of garbage. Just stay in the sizes I stated
KTHX

[Skybax]

BitTown is done and waiting for submissions! I've already taken the liberty of constructing my house, the other plots and open and ready!

I CAN SCRIPTS FOR MY HOUSE?

Maybe. Let's wait on that. raptor is already worried about the server being able to handle BitTown, so if it all launches without a hitch, then MAYBE we can add some scripts. I was hoping you could make a BitFencing arena with a DnD script lol

I'll tell you right now that the DnD script won't happen. I can do other novelties, but DnD.levelgen is literally over 4000 lines of code. If that doesn't violate raptor's concerns, I don't know what does.

Even if it's just the swords?

[raptor]

Because this map has the potential to be LARGE in size, and the master server isn't really a super powerful server, I want to play it safe for the sake of performance. I recommend not too many crazy scripts.

[Skybax]

I was looking at the sizes of the levels I had, and I found it amusing that the second largest level is the zm stock level lol
BitTown is only at like 5 kbs right now

Quartz is

That is NOT mellow yellow. This is mellow yellow.
Yours was like yellowy green. Like what you get if you mix lemon and lime juice together. This is yellowgreen.

I could make it mellow yellow if you want. It's (97, 87, 49).
Or you could stick with the yellowgreen.

JUST GIVING YOU OPTIONS OKAY

Oh that's why... It's hosted on the Master Server

[Skybax]

The Master Server server

Per building space, what do you mean by points? How many little squares does 1 point equal?

[bobdaduck]

a wall is 50 points, a 10x10 square is about 500 points.... I dunno. It shows in the bottom left.

[raptor]

The default editor gridsize is 255. These is the larger squares in the grid. This means 1020 = 4 large squares at default gridsize.

Thanks!

I'll be sky blue instead of navy blue this time.

Skybax, looks like the forum wipe lost your original post edits... who are the teams?

[Skybax]

I've edited the post to the best of my recollection

My establishment is nearly completed! You should pop in sometime and check it out...

Your establishment? xD
Btw do you like the Nest I made for you? lol

Guys, Sky.. Add Inertia highways!
If you need an easy way to get it just check my alquerque map and paste it in. Found it from sam (on his test server)
They shouldn't go too close to our houses so you don't need to 'fix' anything, only other thing I want to say.

[Skybax]

Inertia highways...?

just.. paste them.

EDIT
i seem to have broken it somehow lol
Edit 2

OK, Sky, now the level works.

[Skybax]

Okay, you're talking about SlipZones. Where exactly do you want there to be SlipZones in BitTown? They're kind of annoying if not used correctly.

Make a bouncey maze!

Also for the love of everything please make the tracks around the place more intuitive. I get sent backwards every single time.

I don't understand what you mean by getting "sent backwards".
Meaning the speedzones don't send you where they're supposed to or you keep going into the wrong teleport and you go the opposite direction you were planning to go?

[bobdaduck]

I mean no matter which teleport I go in I always go in the opposite direction I wanted to go.

Just make them go into a hub where you can just fly into the speedzones.

[Skybax]

That's odd, cause I always go the exact direction I want to xD

A hub sounds more complicated than the current system.

I do like the nest! Maybe someone will join my team and can adopt it for themselves. Anyway, sometime we're both on, you should totally check mine out - it's virtually complete.

[Lone Wolf]

Is it too late to request Goldish-orange?

I'd like to add clouds to my house.
Anyone willing to do the work? I'm serious.
As for the slip zones
You know how roads will have lines in the middle (with occasional breaks)? I will illustrate what I'm thinking at least in my corner. It'll be slip zone in between the lines. This could be more navigable than the current speed zone horror
There's a way to make the slip zones only appear green at the borders, which would probably look better. IDK how though, did it by accident.

Slipzone roads between each house. If there's a curve coming up use sharks teeth to let them know (Hawaii roads use these, idk about elsewhere).

[Skybax]

BitTown is currently at a standstill, because with the addition of FoOtloOse's house, the level will no longer open because it's so gigajantic. So until I figure out how to make the game handle the level, or figure out how to make it take up less space, no further updates will be added.

[Skybax]

BitTown has been updated again
I had to remove some things to make everything fit, but it all works again now.

Footie, I removed a couple of your lineitem ships and your snowflake.
Quartz, I removed your lawn.
SOZZIES

QUARTZ NEEDS HIS LAWN

REMOVE MY SPYBUGS INSTEAD

[Quartz]

...You removed my lawn? Fuck you, Skybax. Fuck you. Just get rid of my whole damn house. I'm dead serious. Get it off the map and get rid of my team. Now.

For the record, you DON'T edit peoples' creative work without permission. It is a HUGE hot button for ANY artist of any sort you will ever meet.

I am dead serious when I say to remove my house altogether.

Like serious why in God's good name ... OK what you did is already terrible, but furthermore, why the Hell would you get rid of my lawn before that godawful chimney that you also felt the need to micromanage?

[Skybax]

Well it was either remove some space-eating items or let BitTown be broken. I'd think I chose the more reasonable course of action.

[Quartz]

The more reasonable choice of action is talking to me about it first.

After hearing you say that excessive amounts of items was breaking the loading of the map I would've told you to delete my house to begin with. Even when I submitted it, I knew my house would be real nasty to your map, easily hitting half of the level's limit on its own. I figured the house would have to be removed at some point anyway.

But editing my stuff without talking to me about it? Not cool dude.

That said I'll try to make another house that is less rape to your level/server. It's gonna be totally different 'cuz as I said, line item art is demanding on level loading.

[Skybax]

Okay, that sounds like a good alternative.

on the right of footloose's house the speed zone causes armored ships to get stuck.

[Skybax]

Then you better not fly into it...

Ooh, sassy.

(That said I have to agree)
