World Proper Spawn System (51+ Supporters, 96.2% Approval)

In quest or off-map areas have the player spawn at the entrance of said area or at a reasonable checkpoint set by a GM or builder if the player were to die.

 

Isn't this something planned for the Code refactor? I could be wrong, but I know I remember a GM saying that.

 

Do you remember the thread it was said in and by which GM? I never remember a CT acknowledging this issue b4.

 

I think it was @Ackro , I don't know what thread it was, but I know it was a thread with a similar topic to this one.

 

You might be thinking of the checkpoint system that I set up for Flight in Distress.

Yes, this is an issue we are aware of, and we have been discussing ways of solving it, and some alternatives do rely on the refactor.

 

Wouldn't it just be the easiest to set spawn points based on command blocks or a simple plugin? It's not that hard to do and nearly every server does it.

 

If you are in -66 -79, spawn here
If you are in -67 -79, spawn here
This would take forever

 

Agreed
they have so many off map locations,
and teleport thingies

 

Ehm...

test for @a ~ ~ ~[r=x]

 

test for = clock amount = 1042

1042 x 20 = 20840 things per second



of course using plugins I guess we can say we can halve the lag

then if we only test 1 per second:
we get 521 things per second

thats still a lot

but oh wait if its cmd blocks

we must manually place it anyway

so that accomplished nothing

 

There are definitely ways of doing this, maybe not through command blocks, but through plugins. There really isn't an excuse why this isn't implemented.

 

Would it not require replacing certain areas?

Because some quest areas are super close to towns

so unless were moving the quest rooms

or totally changing all of it

 

I don't think so. The town spawns would still exist, just new spawns will be made for quest/off-map areas.

 

Right...
but each quest room has its own room
there are so many rooms

its going to be tedious to log each area,
and re add a location

 

Maybe not every room, but definitely one or two locations for a quest. For example, in Shattered Minds, the player would spawn outside of the mushroom cave or Elfim if the player were to die in the Hallucination stage.

 

yeah
I would support major quests that drop you off in annoying places

 

That's pretty much it. The main point of this is so that no one ever respawns in the tutorial or halfway across the map if they die during a quest. Obviously, people should respawn in the tutorial if they haven't completed King's Recruit yet, but you get the point.

 

OMG YES!
I keep dying when I try to fight the corrupted santa claus in the Craftmas Chaos quest and I've given up on it. Not because I thought the boss was too hard, but because I had to travel ALL THE WAY BACK to the boss room in future Selchar each time I died.

 

Agreed. I have no idea how they might add this, but it would be very useful. I had the same problem as Josh_Legacy on my old character lol

 

I understand the problem but I don't think it's very high priority rn
