[Closed] Universal capital city discussion

So two portals for each hole?

1, portals are 2 blocks wide, it was to symbolize that

This is how you are planning for it to work arent you? from what i have heard atleast.

Yeah - I’d give them room for now.

(Or start with plenty of room, and plan to add more in the future.)

After this coming release - I could see us spending a little time on improving the portal performance.

It’s still in development. There might be a few flavours. Depending on how they’re built.

IMO an ideal portal hub has them more spaced out than that. I’d love to see a hub where each portal has a little entrance way that shows off the style of the world you’re about to teleport to (e.g. uses blocks from that world)

  • Doing this lets players quickly find the portal they want (since they can quickly recognize it from a distance)
  • It’s also a great opportunity for folk to show off cool bits of a world.
  • For exmaple, WoW does this to great effect in most of their hub cities, and it pays off tremendously

I’m a little confused,but if I think I’m reading what I’m reading. Than let’s build that part, the portal hub now. If Zouls is on. It’ll help find the city.

Welp. if that is the case it is also a great idea BUT! here is the BUT! portals dont only go from world to world, they can also go from area to area, so i am just going to use this style for the reasons

  1. they dont take too much space

  2. there might be hundreds of worlds and even if i only make portals to half it would still take too much space.

  3. if i also want to make portals to cities and special places on the worlds then i need even more space

Practicality mate, but then again, i am not really a builder, so i always go for the simplest and best solutions :smiley:

The world is not even online yet is it?

No,I’m think as a a prototype.just to get out ideas

Yeah,but they don’t have wraps yet. Do they?

  1. i assume you mean warps and made a typo

  2. warps are not place to place, they are just tempoary however alot of people seem to think that warps = teleportation from are to area on the world and portal = world to world teleportaion, not how it works, atleast not from the info we have.

however that is a technicallity also the portal hub is just an idea for when the game launches (my personal hub atleast) i think its just worth remembering that if this capital would be something that stays in the game even after 1.0 launches there might be a ton of worlds and a ton of ā€˜ā€˜important’’ location in each world, so its either to build it logically and practically at first or to expand it later.

We have warps in the engine - but there is no way to build them yet.

What do you mean by build them. Like in game? Or coeds in stuff?

That’s perfect,no portals just warps. Think about it if someone wants to come to the capital,instead of building a permanent portal,make a temporary warp. It will disappear in 60 sec anyway.

There is currently no way for the player to create a warp in the game. We’ve done the rendering part (because it’s shared with the Portals), but not the crafting / constructing part.

Oh,do you know when that coming?

The point is… to have a building… where people can go to other worlds… if they want to go to a specific world they need a portal

Portals and warps haven’t been funded yet
