Suggestion Instead of RES sizes, amount of blocks so no more cube houses.

[what777]

I'm getting tired of all the cube houses since RES is a region with set dimensions, I would like to be able to make as much regions as you want with a block limit.

Example with T8:
Before: 2 times 26x30x26 region.
After : 40560 blocks (26x30x26x2)

So now you can make custom shaped houses.

Someone could make a 40K long wall....

1 block high, not gonna do much.

1 block high, not gonna do much.

Ok then a 10k long 4 high wall?
To put that in perspective that's the width of the whole map

or maybe a 210 block long ground to sky wall, hell with 2 of those you could effectively make yourself a town sized section of the map in the corner all to yourself.

Well you can just implement certain restrictions, and if the wall is the only problem you can just make a rule against it.

I just dislike seeing only cubes, it would be much cooler to have some other kind of houses with custom shapes.

or you could, you know, make the custom house, but region a lot of useless air blocks outside the structure.

IMO, it'd be cool if you were only charged for the blocks that were actually used in the structure, so air blocks were not charged. you may say that it's exploitable, that people would just empy out the space, then build in it, but what if the cost for creation was halved (however air blocks for initial creation will still count towards the bill), air block charge on tax was removed, and used block space was doubled or so. if you placed a block in the residence, then it'd be added to the weekly tax on it.

While that seems like a good idea that's horribly bloated and would have a horrific performance impact on the server.

Ok but how do you define said restrictions?

This all aside this isn't even out plugin so we don't get a choice as to what features it has.
You stand just a good a chance of getting them to implement something as we do.

People don't have to have a square as their house they choose to. They can build any shape they want in that square region. People just choose to make it square

Edit: Also if people want a bigger house they can and just region the area for a storage room.

Surround every graveyard with a 4 high wall.

Quit shitting on the idea yall, its for a really good cause.

What needs to happen is that T10 gets a lot more control over their regions. They should get 2 sets of smaller residences of 3 regions each. The 3 regions in a set will each need to be within 30 blocks of at least one other region in the set. This will allow for a combination of builds involving residences with regioned areas and non-regioned areas.

Imagine a castle with a regioned moat trap, treasure/loot room, and living quarters but free to explore everywhere else. That would allow for a much more open residence than our current loot boxes.

Or, T10 could decide to put them all next to each other, which would give a similiar effect to the current box regions.

totally agree, anything to break free of the cubes. Every map all RES are just cubes that look so ugly.

 

[DEMOCALIBER]

I agree with this, if some limitations could be implemented, that would be great! such as residences not being able to have a length and width greater than 50-75 blocks or so. It would be cool to see what people could come up with. In all honesty though, people can make nice residences that are protected from griefing via the griefing rules and then just RES their 'loot area'.
