Mini Hunger Games?

[supermuddypuddle]

So yeah, umm, stumbled across this http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/optifine-hack-or-no-hack.1305/
(also see Chad's response in the second page)

I guess that settles it. Hey, maybe I should get optifine - does it by any chance solve the problem where Minecraft just closes for no reason?

to slove that crash you need to give java more RAM(memory) to run on

That's nice, because here's a graph of my memory usage. You can guess when approximately minecraft was closed.

that slope near the 6th box?

Anyway if you have optifine or not, the games will be nice and quick, that's the point of a mini survival games server.

It is a nice idea, I just dont want to be seen across the dome due to optifine, but it sounds like a good idea.

(Means easier to make maps for map builders)

Right, this OptiFine nonsense got us all sidetracted. The idea is actually pretty damn cool. Quicker matches, less seriousness, more fun. I like it.

OptiFine is not really a hack/cheat. As you can see I was convinced, mainly by reading about it and by seeing admins commenting on it saying it's a grey area (leaning towards fine).
It doesn't give that much of an advantage anyway.

(Not that I've tried it myself, still running on pure Vanilla! )

You know, Chad and the rest of the MCSG crew will probably create this idea, maybe once they finish the 120 player servers.

Guess what, I made an eight player hunger games map because I got bored today.
Although I'm not going to post it because this is a feature suggestions forum, not map ideas.

mmm i like having smaller arenas and it would certainly reduce playing time. But i'm sure there are people out there who might complain that it doesn't suit the Hunger Games theme (that it isn't 24 tributes at the least) but to them i say: the plug-in is designed to allow games to start so long as half the spots on the server are taken, thus making the games not specifically designed to host a total of 24-48 players every game...
so yes, i think this should be looked into as some people may only have time to play a game that will finish within 30 mins or less.

I don't mind if someone uses optifine on the servers... unless they use the zoom feature that lets them see further distances then normal. Then it's being abused and creates an unfair advantage

Great idea

Just for the info : optifine's zoom option allow to see things bigger, but do not allow to see things that would usually be out of line of sight (=> does not make the player see farther), makes you blind to almost 60 to 70% of the normal game screen (since you zoom on only a small part of it) and makes your mouse move slowly.
So there's no real advantage / cheating about it, its just not useful ^^

PS : I'd love smaller arenas, 8/12 people games would make it really different and nice !

sounds cool to have like small maps so you're not walking like half an hour without having any interaction.
