New Server Arena - The Prison!

Soul_UK, Fri Aug 15 2014, 11:34PM

Hiya Guys and Girls,

Basically I've knocked up an arena for PVP / Hunger Games / Other PVP ... Basically, it is one arena, that can be used and configured in different ways for different PVP based games.

The full details are on my CFUK webpage, but here's the basic rundown...

The Prison consists of a central block containing the Control Tower and Starting Room, which is surrounded by four themed Blocks. Each of the surrounding Blocks contain four chests (visible or slightly hidden) and a crafting bench or two. So they can be used for plain PVP, or Hunger Games, or a custom game.

The Starting Room contains the basic arena rules, as well as chests for players to store items / food / etc. while they play. Each chest has a sign inside for you to lock it. Just please remember to unlock your chest after use by breaking the sign and placing it back in the chest.

CONTROL TOWER
The Control Tower has switches that control the outer arena lighting (so you can switch it off at night to spawn mobs for extra fun!), but the lights also control the Prison Cell Block doors (lights off = doors closed, lights on = doors open).

It also has control over the Starting Room doors (that allow players into the arena) and the Guard Tower doors that surround the central tower - allowing you to add an extra level to your game (the Guard Towers and the walkways), or separate them for another style of game / just spectators.

The final switches in the Control Tower are around the central block - just one needs to be down out of 4 to open the doors below to access the Control Room from the 1st floor of the arena (the Guard Tower doors allow access from the ground floor of the arena to the 1st floor).

oh THAT's what that structure is! I've been looking at that thing on the livemap with curiosity for a while now.... so i'll be sure to check it out. The info on your website is very clear - it's a great project...

Maybe we can use this thread to organise dates/times for a game?

Feel free to use this thread to organise events - though for now you'll need at least one Helper or above to warp people in as I leave the ground entrance door closed and locked when the arena is not in use to help prevent easy griefing.

And Draze - it's not quite finished yet - I've just got to finish off the cosmetic touches and add a few more features (need some more tree saplings and possibly a couple of bushes too if possible). wink

Awesome! You showed me this once before from the inside, but I couldn't get the picture of how big it was until now.. so cool smile
maybe add a station somewhere and connect to that new rail line, so you can bring the visitors etc in..?
but then you might invite the grief train in too.. uh.. there has to be a way..

Q - Brought it back?!? - My last complete arena was as a Castle (although I was working on a prison on the last vanilla map, which wasn't as "interactive" as this one - but it never got finished ... can't even remember what that one looked like!). tongue

Alex - I'll knock up a station at my end when I get the time, which could perhaps link to the underwater dome on the new Mesa rail network, or I'll have to create a new link to spawn (which will take me forever to achieve anything near as good looking as the Mesa railway on my own!)

When I said "connect to that new rail line" I meant Mesa railway.. smile
