[TEKKIT MAP WIP] [MONSTER-MASH|CLASS SYSTEM] [ALPHA] "TEST YOUR METTLE !" [500+ downloads!]

[dp100]

Now in Alpha v0.3.8!

Hey there !

Welcome to Test Your Mettle ! This is a map that was created in Tekkit 3.1.2 (Currently a Devbuild) by my brother (Drperry), my girlfriend (Peji02) and I; we love this map so hopefully you guys will too !

We made it in Tekkit because I feel it makes this sort of genre more interesting and I love Tekkit to bits (no advertisement whatsoever, I just love it)

This is supposed to be a multi-player map, but if you can win it on your own I'd be impressed.

This is a monster-mash, an all-out brawl so be prepared to die but gain that sweet success at the very end!

Test Your Mettle ! is a map all about defeating hordes of enemies with your friends, finding secret loot, collecting treasure and of course soaking in your foe's inevitable death. Coupled with a unique class system and wonderfully crafted scenery, hopefully you'll just wanna keep playing !

There will be 3 main "Acts", however map is in a very alpha stage, with only one act finished with 3 areas to mash things in:

(Please note I am using the SphaxBDcraft texturepack, I recommend it as it makes things look pretty)

The starter zone - The Arachnid Den:

The sandwich filler - The Walkway:

The end zone with boss - The Wizard's Tower:

More pics:

The brawl includes:

- Tons of mobs to kill

- A unique class system (with 9 classes so far)

- Lots of Tekkit wizardry to keep things interesting

- LOOT (Need I say more?)

The rules:

- Don't break any blocks except cobwebs

- Don't take items your class cannot use (the items you get at the start are the only type you can get afterwards, i.e if you don't start with a sword, don't pick one up and use it)

- Don't EVER take from another class type chest, the class types are noted at the start (Melee, ranged, magic/other)

- For a more authentic experience, turn off Rei's minimap !

- Have fun and make sure to note any irregularities for me, you guys are my testers !

Please bear in mind this map is to be played in TEKKIT, and nothing else.

You're in the wrong spot, but I'll move it, as this looks quite interesting.

[dp100]

Ah thank you very much ! I'm new here and this is my first map so thanks~ Oh and it has been updated to v0.2 !

Edit: Now updated to 0.3

[foofifoo]

Looks nice! gonna give it a try.

[dp100]

Cheers dude, let me know how it goes !

[Gamer Jester]

I spawned at the wrong spot.. Whats the xyz thingys?

Nvm. I'm an idiot. Maybe i'll make a vid.

[spymonkey14]

Some people dont have WinRAR idiot!

Some people dont have WinRAR idiot!

How does one not have WinRar

[zbayne]

use 7zip? its free

Hey watch your language. This guy is making a map in his free time. Its in alpha so no need to call him an idiot for the wonderful work he does.

[dp100]

We are working on act 2 at the moment, main priority is to get things working before making it easily accessible for "everyone". Never had a problem with people using winRAR before so that's what I chose. Anyhow it shouldn't be too long before screenshots and an updated version is out !

There's been a few mishaps here and there, they're not the first nor the last since this is our first map, it is in alpha expect some bugs here and there but like the post said, any feedback is good feedback! thanks all for being interested !

[Jiggins]

Just downloaded the map, I like what I see but two things, I spawned inside a wooden log on top of a ice and ruby block statue with a quite odd inventory

[dp100]

Hrm that is quite strange, delete all the player.dat files and retry? If that doesn't work I'll have a look at it in more detail, be sure to let me know

[Jiggins]

Don't worry I just cheated in some EE goodies and broke into the spawn area and cleared my inventory. I spent about 30 mins and got to the second set of beds. I like the overall style and theme of the map but there are three things I would like to change:

The library maze was a tad long and felt too claustrophobic. The lever hidden below the table was hard to find.

I didnt find any food until the second checkpoint, it made the fighting in the maze quite difficult as I had to resort to zombie flesh.

The ranged class was lacking a ranged weapon from the start. Maybe switch the iron knife for a bow and later on, a crossbow/musket.

Apart from that I enjoyed what I've played so far, I will play a little more tomorrow. I hope my little constructive criticism helps.

[dp100]

Okay cool, thanks a LOT for this feedback, it's what we've been waiting for, I'll get on it ASAP and let you know when it's tweaked ! Did you play it multiplayer ? If so, how many of you?

[Jiggins]

I was on my own playing, I started on ranged, but switched to melee once I died. I was using a trackpad instead of a mouse, quite a good trackpad but I could have done better with a mouse. Sorry I don't have anyone to test it with, and I don't have the hardware to run a server.

[dp100]

Wow okay that's quite impressive, alone AND with a trackpad, nah it's fine, but if you do know people who could potentially set up a server and play it , pass this on to them? We seriously need more feedback like this, thanks again

[Joel42]

Hi! So, i got the same exact spawn and inventory as Jiggins did. I realize that this is a new map and obviously everything isn't going to be perfect, so I'm still eager to actually play the map! where the heck is the spawn room in relation to where i spawned? i'll just break in and begin play.

[dp100]

Ah okay, thanks. Have you tried deleting the player.dat files and restarting? Try that and see what happens.

[Joel42]

wait, nvm, i killed myself and spawned in the right spot! all good! great map so far, btw. half way through

[dp100]

Alright, cool ^^ I'm going to be fixing this spawning issue tomorrow, so be sure to try it out then !

[dp100]

Check the latest version, I fixed the odd spawning issue, thanks for playing ! Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated

[XtremeGamer]

Just downloaded the map, I like what I see but two things, I spawned inside a wooden log on top of a ice and ruby block statue with a quite odd inventory

What a troll! You just tmi those items in.....

Btw loving the map!

[dp100]

No there was actually a problem with spawning with lots of stuff I was using for some reason, he's legit

Thanks ! Glad to hear it, you playing with friends?

[Jiggins]

And why would I go through the effort of spawning stuff in, taking a screenshot, uploading to imgur etc. for something that's not even remotely funny or what you call 'trolling'?
