Proning, Climbing, And Other Things to Spice up Travel.

[Aurian_Thornhill]

Let's face it, getting around is static, boring... And just in general doesn't make much sense. Not when there's so much map to see and appreciate, my solution to solve this is to add sliding and proning, proning and sliding would be done via doing something and crouching, sliding via doing that same thing while sprinting. This would allow us to get into certain windows, under little areas, and slither around. Also allowing snipers to be absolutely terrifying as they can now hide better. It would also make cover more useful, as crouching in normal mc doesn't help you take cover... At all. On to the next solution, climbing. If someone jumps up to a two - three block wall and crouching when in the air, climbing up that wall. Depending on block they can spam crouch to keep climbing, these certain blocks would be things like brick, logs, and iron bars (Chainlink fence) This would be limited by a stamina bar as to avoid people spam crouching their way ontop of skyscrapers. This is something that will make you feel a bit more immersed, as like in real life, you can now vault that chainlink fence, get up onto that rooftop. Perhaps even make it more interesting via making it a skill that levels with use, higher levels being able to climb more, climb higher, and perhaps eventually wall run? And another thing... Working with the inventory limits... Instead of having cars in containers and letting people carry an inventory full of cars... Litteral cars! Have them randomly spawn on the map, make them require gas and repairs. And make them a generally amazing way of travel, more realistic as like in a real apocalypse they will be an incredibly useful commodity.

I can see where sliding and crouching would be a cool thing to have. As for the vaulting fences and buildings people who have not the best computers in the world may experience a severe lag problem and freeze mid jump. As for cars, well we use to have cars set up that way where they only spawned and you had to have tires, an engine, and a key to start them but the community was strongly against this and complained about cars not being a common thing and raged on forums about it so we made cars spawn in loot bags. A lot of us want a realistic apocalyptic server but the majority of this server do not want that and instead want just a regular pvp point and click server. Good ideas though thanks for the post.

While it's true a lot of people rage about it, we could just give them some common spawn rates, or make it so carrying them in your inv slows you down by a crap ton. So people don't run around with like 8 in their inv. As to the climbing, I've actually played a lot of servers that have it, and my laptop as absolute trash, but it still works absolutely beautifully. Sliding and proning could be done with the new elytra animation.

Yeah but we cant use elytra type anything we still have to stay anchored to things 1.8 can do. We would love to update to 1.9+ but many of our users don't update their minecraft and many still use 1.8 or if they try to use 1.9+ many of our mods and features cause them to lag and crash. As for a large amount of loot slowing people down I absolutely think that would be really cool to add and use too wearing riot gear would cause you to move slower and make your thirst go down faster but then again people would get angry and upset about this feature and complain about the slowing down is lagging them or caused them to die from snipers. I myself and many other builders would love a realism server where you cant carry cars in loot bags and food and ammo become a very rare thing to find across the map. We even tried to implement these realisms when we released our large realism map but people complained about it and our player base dropped. So at this point we are having to focus on what majority of the players want and yes we know it isn't fair to the other patrons who are not as good at pvp or the non pvp group and rp groups but we are trying to please as many as we can. I mean I would love to update to the latest version of minecraft to add more in game features and also the 10 new blocks I could use for new textures. Its hard trying to please everyone at this moment and we are working to do so as you can tell we have a some working on bugs but at the same time we have demands to fix hellnight so people are working on that and people are demanding to get minewars updated so we have people doing that as well. I do however hope one day to have a TMD Realism based game and map on a Tmd-server of its on but it will take time. I like all your ideas thought I'm all for realism, just sad the larger player base isn't.

Yeah the update bugged out. However you can fix it now. It's a problem of adding more ram to your MC
