Another modded succession game?

[RaustBlackDragon]

Well, Megamodia is dead, especially since BTW no longer uses forge. I was thinking, however, of doing a more simple succession game, with fewer mods, but still including Better Than Wolves (and Doggy Talents, sorry, I honestly can't bear to play Better Than Wolves without it).

I'm open to suggestions for mods to add, but I'd like to keep it simple, so nothing that drastically changes gameplay, like ToK or the Aether (not that I'm ignorant enough to think that the Aether mod is compatible or out yet, but just an example of drastically changing gameplay).

Anybody interested in giving this a go? It's a ton of fun in my experience!

Current planned mod list:

BTW (HCB mode)
CraftGuide
Doggy Talents
Hardcore Torches
SeasonCraftory
the book mod

Anything that doesn't fundamentally alter a save file is allowed. Examples are Somnia and my BTW Recipebook fix.

rules:
*No minimap or any mods that fundamentally alter save files other than the ones listed for the succession game.
*No peaceful.
*Hardcore Buckets is on.
*Play offline.
*You have until the next springtime to play on the map before passing it along to the next person. Keep a journal with the books mod!

Well, i could probably manage 2 games at once...

As for mods to use, i say craftguide.

[RaustBlackDragon]

well then, I suppose we should throw in my BTW Recipebook fix, for convenience. That's not exactly necessary for everyone to install, but it's handy.

And non-game breaking :D

[RaustBlackDragon]

So... anybody else?

I'll join in... I'm on Christmas Break, and need something to do. That and I really have been thinking of trying of DT since you first join this forum awhile back, and this will give me a good reason to do so.

If my mod (NetherSurvival) was done, I said add that, but it's not ready. (I only have the Overworld Ores spawning at this time, still need to get all the rest of the stuff so I can play BTW completely in the Nether(IT WILL BE AWESOME)).

Sounds awesome, can't wait to try it out! What about my hardcore torches mod, should we add that as well?

Yea, sure! Gives more a reason to get to the Nether... Will we be using HCB?

Sure, don't see why not!

I tend to suck at picking a starting location, however, so it might be best for somebody more experienced with HCB to go first, once we've worked out who's playing and what mods.

Are you up for a survival map? I have an awesome survival HCB seed :)

That is indeed quite awesome, but...

I was kinda hoping more for something where we wouldn't know what we'd be dealing with until we started up the world. Mixes things up a bit more.

I like it... Only problem is going to be getting animals.

Yeah, as I said, I'm not too in favor of it for this succession game, though I'd like to try it on my own.

Oh, just so you guys know, we need to play in offline mode, mainly to make sure that the DTDoggies will obey everybody in the succession game, not just me :)

Sounds like a plan... I'll just have to make sure to take screenshots(Something I never do) so that I can write up what I did.

What seed will we be using then? My main world uses the "Better Than Wolves" Seed. I make good use of the tall waterfall(It's tall enough, and close enough to a open Grassland. I've found cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens, but no wolves.

I've got an excellent seed at the intersection between a desert and a wolf-rich forest, with an exposed skeleton dungeon at the surface. It's perfect for our purposes, though I can't attest to its suitability for hardcore buckets.

If we use it, I'd really rather not go first, since it's the exact same seed as my main world, and I feel I might be demotivated if I had to do the same world again from scratch, rather than a new and exciting one.

Does that cause you to play offline, or as a random username, like with MCP debugging?

[Blueblade11]

Well, i was 'Player387' when I defeated the Enderdragon, so...

[Kwilt]

I'd love to join, but I can't really commit.

I'm going to dive into my secret project as soon as the year rolls around, so I probably won't be able to juggle that, my BTW world, my roleplay server, actually writing up the story for the project, laddering in StarCraft II, all along with playing this map when my turn rolls around. However, if I do notice that I have any free time (unlikely, since I plan on getting a job sometime in January as well) I'll make sure to drop back in here to say that I'd love to have my name on the list. :D

Then no, you'll have to log on normally if you want to use or tame any dogs.

So go through the normal launcher, then click 'Play Offline'?

Yep, that's the idea :)

[RaustBlackDragon]

I updated the OP with the list of currently planned mods. Any other mods we should use?

[Zhil]

That list + Somnia is basically what I play with daily.

I might be interested in a turn actually

[RaustBlackDragon]

Somnia, eh? Alright. I figured I'd stay away from it in order to motivate me to pursue automation more, but that's just me. What do you guys think about somnia? I'm guessing you're in favor.

And I'd be happy to have you aboard, Gil!

[The great randomo]

Can I suggest the SeasonCraftory mod, and any mod that allows inventory management easier?
Also, I'm not really sure I understand the concept; will it be a map that is passed on, will it be SMP (I presume not though), or what?
I might give it a go though.
