Little Brother's Test Subjects

I think that some ideas should be tossed around involving the mods that will be tested in the little brother server, just so we have a basic foundation of what exactly we are going to be in for. I'll love to see the Custom NPC's mod be used, sadly it is a VERY destructive mod, so thats why I know it will never see the light of day, but hey, the thought of it is nice!

Considering That we May Be Changing Out Mods Monthly For The Little Brother Server This May Not Be A Bad Idea...

Hi Brother Dear! Of course Custom NPCs will be an option during a month! In case people don't know, Custom NPCs has its own size-changing options -- so paired with Gulliver's size-changing, this is the only way I know to create entities greater than 8x (or smaller than 0.125x). So if you want giants and giantesses to populate a roleplaying map like, say, the Cheese Quest house, this ill give you the option to do so.

On top of that, its a cool mod that introduces new weapons and armor too.

Whoa =o it can go bigger than 8x!? thats something id want to see   

its not Cia, but that is the max possible, and I could change the skin to be Cia's, in fact, it could be anyone's skin, all you need is there user name.

hahaha, yep, you got it!

well the maximum Custom NPC resize is 30 magnification, which is roughly equivalent to a 6x in Gulliver. So I reckon 8 x 6 = 48x, assuming I'm not being a math idiot again. XDD

And I challenge you to make a natural Giga Cia custom NPC.

Shouldn't be too difficult, given my skin is a public one available on Planet Minecraft (based on MobTalker). ^^

CustomNPC is a nice little mod to try out, but keep in mind it does put a bit more strain on the server with extra entities and collision detection. One that I would recommend would be Mystcraft.

Mystcraft is based off it's namesake, a game called Myst. Most of you young'uns won't know of it, but it was pretty great back in the day. Anyways, the main thing it adds is something called Linking Books. You can either collect pages, or write them yourself, and eventually bind them into a book. This book is used to fully generate a brand new dimension based on what pages you put in. Almost everything about these dimensions is customizable: biome size, number of suns/moons, landscape size, colors of features, and tons more. These could be used, with some proper MCEdit cut/paste, to store maps to be tested, to create PVP worlds, or just about anything else.

Aye, custom NPC can be a hog, just like Littleblocks. That's why it probably won't ever leave the confines of the Little Brother server, but not to say it can't make repeat visits every other month.

Oh, and thanks to the Yogscast misadventures, I am familiar with Mystcraft now. Yeah, that would be an awesome thing to have too, and to your point we could certainly try testing it as a multi-world conduit. ^^

Challenge completed.

ZOMG, I COULD FIT A WHOLE HOUSE IN MY MOUTH!!!   

Good job, Brother Dear! I shall reward you with cheese when I see you again.

LOL xD

I'm happy to say that thanks to captaindiggens, I have something special to work on when custom NPCs is put on the little brother server, inside the kitchen of the cheese hunt map will be a GigaCiabatta, armed with two loafs of bread that she can fling. The objective of this game is to survive and escape her wraith, oh and just a heads up, the bread explodes on impact- HAVE FUN!!!

Teehee!!! That will be hilarious to watch!!! Though the bread would have to be hurled really slowly to ensure it looks large and giant-y.

Also, bear in mind that from the point of view of Custom NPCs, the giga-Cia is still only 30 magnification... so chances are, the bread will look like it's coming from her knees. XD

yeaaaah I ran into that problem, but oh well! As long as it's functional.

Aye. ^.^
You can also have the NPC lob them to mask the effect. ^^
