Fug. I don't know if the version shift is fricking the textures or what
Can you even play minecraft with old Mojang accounts? I keep failing to connect to any server. An Anon on Ganker suggested polyMC but it still didn't work.
Nope you need to migrate to microshit
didn't the main polymc dev go rogue or smth
I'd be down honestly. I'm working on building a world with new Pokemon and new forms at the moment.
is there anything special you need to do with the modpack to fix the textures? Everything is appearing see through for me
>new pokemon and forms
Please do tell. also curious about your world.
These are some of the new Pokemon and forms
Lulcow - a new cow Pokemon in the region. It's a special attacker (ab)normal & psychic type with the signature more Curse-ye-hameha. It's shiny has a brown striped shirt instead of a red and blue one.
Toxieon - a poison type Eeveelution new to the region. It's texture is stolen from a big servers resource pack.
Paleon - a ground type Eeveelution new to the region. It's texture is stolen from the same resource pack.
Goldark - a regional evo for Psyduck. It becomes psychic dark.
Regional Greninja - Its a ice & steel type with the signature move ice shuriken. Its shiny is pink.
Regional Torterra - It's a ground & ghost type with it back taking on the appearance of a graveyard. Texture stolen from a big server.
Regional Cinderace - it's a fire & electric type with an electric blue color to it's fur. It's shiny is purple.
>It's texture is stolen from a big servers resource pack.
>It's texture is stolen
>Texture stolen
I don't play with criminals.
small dick energy
how are you doing this? is it a server configuration? are you trying to frick with pixelmon reforged's 50 fakemon cap?
>Regional Greninja - Its a ice & steel type with the signature move ice shuriken. Its shiny is pink.
sandslash if he frog
oh sorry I didn't start lurking /vp/ until last year
anyways how the frick did cobble architecture degrade that much over 3 years
it would be kinda cool if lava behind glass was used for lighting like in the ancient days of minecraft, as lava is just really hot cobblestone
Attribute the lack of exciting builds due to
- lack of /fly command to help build tall/more detailed things
- over 10+ members at its peak that were building whatever they wanted
- server wasn't as good as fetus/konoha gen
There were some good builds, like the CNN tower, Museum, and the maze favelas
>lack of fly command
honestly there's no real reason not to have one on a pixelmon server if everyone is going to bring along a flymon anyways (although for balance reasons, maybe the command should only function if you have a flymon in your party)
>over 10+ members at its peak that were building whatever they wanted
wasn't the cobble discord server trying to organize itself and set goals in the opening days before just going "do whatever idk"
maybe it could be neat if there was planning for more complex builds, and also more cobble block variety besides chisel stuff and mossy cobblestone, so you guys could stick to your cobblestone theme without needing texture packs to look bearable
I'm surprised no one bothered making a castle considering those were all the rage back in ye olde days of minecraft
>There were some good builds, like the CNN tower
that was kinda cool but only the top floor where the news reporting actually took place
>Museum
accidentally got trapped in auth server hell before I could check that out, I should look around in the world download for it
>and the maze favelas
i think this one is a joke within your list unless some autist decided to actually do something with them besides just having tons of tiny cobble cubes touching eachother
>wasn't the cobble discord server trying to organize itself and set goals in the opening days before just going "do whatever idk"
As one of the members back, there was an attempt by evil, feus, and some others to have goals. It did work in some instances (like the huge cloud of cobble over neo homiesaki that one day), but telling a group of shiposters to organize doesn't work. The group was essentially everyone doing their own thing at once.
it seems like the only thing the cobble guys could organize was paving over everything in a mile radius (within janny-regulated claims) with cobblestone without any plans on actually building something on the cleared land
also, it would be more thematic if there was more than one cobblekang who focused on rock, steel, or ground types which would be the most fitting for a group based around cobblestone; I also recall the preference for starting with aron within the group, for a good reason - I'm planning on doing a mono-steel team next year tbh
I know the original homiesaki in 2019 was home to the server's rock gym. Guess nobody wanted to run one in neo homiesaki this year.
maybe I should consider becoming a gym leader alongside my friend if multi battles work well in pixelmon
if the hoenn games have a multi battle format for one of the gyms then I should be allowed to co-run a gym with my friend
Honestly, being a gym leader is really gay. First is even making your arena/gym puzzle, which takes forever depending on how you want it. Then you need to be online almost everyday to fight challengers, who will usually just bring a team full of counters and cheese you. (Not complaining about that, just highlighting it)
On the flipside, if your challenging, you have to wait for each leader to be on respectively, and sometimes a leader just flat out quits the servers. Then the jannies are slow as frick to add an npc traine, so you wait even longer.
I guess there’s enough decent steel types to cycle through to prevent ggez hard counters besides spamming ground/fire/fighting types, but monotype restrictions will still be a pain in the ass without sneaking in out-of-type wildcards
however I could maybe rush an early steel gym as a placeholder with aggron/alolan sandslash/skarmory/excadrill/aegislash as they’re reasonably common and not shitmons (aron line can be found in almost every cave, alolan sandshrews are ridiculously common in cold biomes, skarmory appears often in assorted places, excadrill can be found underground anywhere, and I can just find a honedge in a savannah)
I guess other types are probably better off in terms of mons that can be caught very early on, but I just find steel the coolest
on the topic of that, is there anyone who doesn’t use a skarmory in pixelmon if they aren’t using a kanto flymon?
>looks cool
>reasonable catch rate
>decent typing and high physical bulk plus a versatile movepool
>spawns in common biomes
>good top speed when ridden
>fight challengers, who will usually just bring a team full of counters and cheese you
this lmao
Shoutout to Reubbro getting swept by an Ash-GreBlack person as the Fire Gym. There's nothing you can do. Theme Gym supremacy rise up.
on another server (name not important, it was forgettable and full of chat/rank/command/feature bloat) I BTFO the dragon gym with glaceon, alolan sandslash, and dragapult
it was against a 6 mon team of assorted pseudo legendaries, turtonator, and dracovish
monotype teams only really function against other monotype teams without scuffed gimmicks
took only 12 turns iirc
I wonder if the imminent arrival of generation 9 and the tera type gimmick would give allegedly monotype teams the variety they require to stay competitive against mixed teams
it won't lmao
>Sure Gym Anon, you can change ONE mon's type to another!
>Oops it just got knocked out because they had a mon that was running coverage!
>Rest of the mono gets swept
Why are we pretending this gimmick is going to salvage monos vs mixed matchups?
guess there’s no hope besides using gym types as suggestions and not rules
gyms are supposed to be beaten anyways, it's alright if some local tard can beat a 1600elo monotype team
ultimately just kind of boring
might as well play normal minecraft and pokemon xy
/vp/ixelmon is dead and ideally will remain that way, since last server has proved that autistic Ganker shitters are a nightmare to play with.
Last server was fricking dogshit and I bet people aren't willing to play again so soon, maybe next summer
What the frick happened
underage epic Gankerners started drama, it wasn't dealt with properly or quickly, the embers got fanned into an inferno of autism
Awful moderation, griefing gays didn't get banned, most players quit within less than a month. It was a trainwreck
>most players quit within less than a month
to be fair this would still happen even if they ran the best server ever
Wasn't as bad last year. This year people built gyms and abandoned ship the same week.
>mods didn't instantly ban griefers
shit serb. New serb when?
Well I'd host but my Microsoft account is permanently stuck as a family account because Microsoft's family account panel is buggy as frick.
You know, I bet Pixelmon would be a lot of fun with Flan's mod and that one country plugin.
where's the point if you can't strap an anti-tank artillery cannon to an aggron
on the topic of tanks, you can probably build those with Create (or at least an addon for that mod), and I think there could be a lot of interesting gym puzzle concepts with Create's blocks; last time I remember only the following gym puzzles
>fetch quest maze (grass)
>parkour (electric and flying)
>directly fighting the gym leader (fighting)
>fighting level scaling grunts (water)
>fighting a shit ton of level scaling mooks, none of which used normal types (normal)
all of which were kinda boring
>open Pixelmon
>Pokemon say their name
>Close Pixelmon
soon
Pixelmon servers have been the most boring bloated shit imaginable for me all this time
>flashing chat colors and bright labels out the ass
>overdesigned spawn
>no pokemon spawn ever in the wild
>15 million warps, no way to know what the hell to do
>dumbass plugins like pokestops or whatever the hell
>lags to fricking shit when too many 3D models are on screen
>obligatory shiny starters (nitpick)
To top it off I don't like how the pokemon say their names nor do I like how they constantly and painfully clash with the rest of minecraft, both superficially and mechanically.
>lags to fricking shit when too many 3D models are on screen
This is more so the fault of Pixelmon itself, rather than the servers. Trust me, if I could fix all of the problems you mention, I would.
Well, technically I could for the sounds, I know it's possible I just don't know how to do it.
texture pack for the sounds
Well, I knew that a resource pack would do it, I just don't know how to replace the sounds in a mod.
I'm not even OP or whoever was hosting the server originally, I was just saying this shit because I've hosted Pixelmon servers for my friends in the past.
come on Villager just fix everything, what are we even paying you for otherwise?
He does it for free, moron.
THINGS NEEDED FOR /VP/IXELMON 2023 TO BE KINO, GROUPED BY IMPORTANCE
CRITICAL:
>more than 2 jannies, preferably ones competent at their job unlike pig and rasdori
>no block based cults since cobblecucks couldn't behave or at least build anything better than terrarian commieblocks
>having stuff to do without being the feature bloat mentioned in
IMPORTANT:
>early PVE/PVP content so there's actually a reason to assemble a team
>STFU clause on battles where the loser gets muted for 1 hour; aka "talk shit get hit". optional and disabled for gym battles so gym leaders can actually use the chat
>map size of around 5000x5000; large enough to allow building large towns while still having things spaced out, while providing enough room for a medium sized server, but not large enough to effectively isolate everyone and turn the game into singleplayer with lag, welfare, and chat
>also, there should be a list of town coords at spawn as towns are established
PREFERRED:
>fast travel accessible only via flying taxi stations placed at towns; to access one you must have first travelled there on foot, like in the games
>spawn having facilities for new trainers to get their starters, learn basic pixelmon mechanics if they're total newbies, and grinding their starter to a level good enough to reliably catch wild encounters
>on the topic of that, make sure the starting spawn location actually works - many people struggled to find the girl that gave 10 starting pokeballs, or the starter spoink, causing confusion in chat. I didn't correctly spawn when I first joined, instead appearing at the generic spawnpoint
>spawn shouldn't magically give access to shitloads of blocks and higher end restoration items off the bat; those should be reserved for player ran shops
NORMAL PRIORITY:
>optional battle facility where you can fight level scaling NPCs for rewards; most are generic NPCs but some tougher fights are based on previous teams made on the servers. cont. next post
Good thing you'll stay an idea guy.
(cont)
>that battle facility should satisfy some players' desire to fight when no willing PVP participants are online. also, have it be something other than a generic battle tower. battle mountain sounds like a cool idea
>have multiple of each biome present within the world so we don't get a repeat of last gen where some spawns became inaccessible because cobblecucks covered several biomes worth of land with cobblestone, without leaving any grass blocks for mob spawns
>more variety in events besides generic fishing contests and rules-heavy tournaments. i'm not against having those but it gets repetitive with those as the only events
>starter options should be revealed sometime before the server goes live to allow people to know what they'll start with if they're lucky enough to get a starter with viable IVs/nature
LOW PRIORITY/NITPICKING:
>try not to have unreachable pokeloot within spawn
>find some way to make pokeradar hide owned pokemon text overlay/beacons to make caught shinies/legendaries less distracting
>make sure people don't get ridiculous amounts of claimed space, especially if it's not going to be used in the first place
in hindsight I think half my list of ideas would be common sense that any competent hosts (NOT PIG) would have done anyways, the other half is pretty much things other people have wanted in this year's /vp/ixelmon threads
oh shit I forgot to mention that image signs were broken for at minimum 3 people despite following guides, following instructions to the letter, and testing with different images; this also fricked with placing non-image signs
there were also complaints about sufficiently large ones being laggy, too. either they should be fixed and made reliable, or omitted from next year's modpack entirely.
man shut up bva, don't you have high school tomorrow
oh noes someone reported a mod issue that multiple people have had, therefore they’re all the same evil boogeyman that once complained about the issue
no I knew it was you because you have a really obvious typing style and compulsively reply to anything directed at you in minutes
frick off Roman
you forgot comically oversized maps that reduce the odds of anyone running into someone else to zero without teleportation commands
Anon, that's just regular Minecraft MP.
with /rtp you’re pretty much playing laggy singleplayer but you can chat and occasionally find unoccupied bases
Yeah... I see your point.
and if /vp/ixelmon had easy random teleportation and an unnecessarily large map then you’d just have a generic pixelmon server but you’d get to call people Black folk
So, I think what needs to be done is no rtp, but instead have a flying Pokemon, or an airport!
yes
anyone with a flying pokemon (or flying taxi pass if they’re too lazy to catch a wild flymon) should be allowed to fast travel to any town they’ve been to before, provided they’re not underground when fast traveling
what would count as a town destination would probably be any significant place with more than a few players working together, up to admin discretion
this would not only provide fast travel fitting for an open world pokemon pseudo-fangame, but encourage activity around towns
Actually I was more so thinking something akin to an actual fricking airport, but your idea is probably better.
Boy I can't wait for Pokewilds now.
truly a goated year
can someone please post comparison pictures of the original homiesaki (cobblekangs, 2021) vs neo homiesaki (cobblecucks, 2022) so we can see the difference in build quality
The original homiesaki was in 2019. Get your cobblelore straight, peasant.
How about a permanent server for once?
if the active server population became a tenth of how it was within the first week after only two months, then I don't think a permanent server would have much longevity
people will burn out if there's nothing new to do
>How about a permanent server for once?
survival servers aren't sustainable. they need resets either due to dwindling resources or in order to make way for new ones that come with updates.
the only way to have a server with any real permanence is one with a dimension where each person has a plot, one with actual fricking content, and another seasonal one that's your regular SMP fare. I'd love if we could just get a simple survival server that sticks around forever but from a gameplay/player perspective it's a logistic nightmare. 2b2t only gets away with it because peoples' shit isn't expected to stick around and they have enough resources for a 2 TB map.
>survival servers aren't sustainable
>2b2t has existed
I guess technically it's an anomaly.
I think it would be interesting if we got a server which received a "new region" every once in a while, once resources became a problem.
Why do people feel the need to cheese Gyms? There's nothing fun in completely demolishing a Gym.
what kind of cheese
if it’s specifically bringing mons with a type advantage then there’s not much that can be done
but if it’s sleep/evasion/ohko hax or funbro-tier stalling then that’s definitely cheesing
Eh, frick it. I mentioned I ran a Minecraft server once. Here's the space center me and a friend built.
Galacticraft, ICBMs(never used them), buildcraft, flan's mod, opencomputers and of course, Pixelmon.
I really feel like, with a country plotting plugin, that combination of mods would be perfection for another server. It was a lot of fun.
I went looking because I figured I'd recreate it only to get stabbed through the heart.
The only country plugin where you can create plots to sell to people and have laws with pay and shit was last updated in 2013 and its files are gone.
I also don't know how to make plugins to do that role, and I'm already busy with two other projects right now...
up
ultimately the issue with pixelmon is that it wipes out the regular PvE grind of Minecraft and replaces it with the pokemon grind that's reliant on having other players to compete with
makes it very prone to death spirals if the player count begins to drop
there's frick-all else to do in pixelmon besides fight other players after you get the initial grinding over with
I literally just go on these servers to build cool shit and occasionally do pokemon stuff
i fricking hate vpixelmon
OH GOD OH FRICK ROUGHPUFF STOP THE CAR!!!!
but that would lead to the car being stolen because detroit sucks
