Logical PS Stone Sizes
« on: March 18, 2012, 07:34:05 pm »
Just a minor suggestion, but seeing that chunk sizes are specific (16x16) would it not be logical to have PS stones follow that same formula?  Say the lowest PS stone covers one chunk (16x16), maybe the next level does one better (32x32), and the next level covers even more (48x48) etc?  Having PS divisible by 16 would make life a lot easier I think.  But it's up to you guys, I'm just suggesting it.  :)

This could be a good suggestion, however most players aren't even aware of how big the chunk sizes are, or where the boundaries of the chunks are (or just aren't even aware that the game is in chunks), and may build their homes in just a small part of a chunk and the rest exposed to all other players without them knowing until it's too late.

The way how we have it currently works with all new and veteran players

True enough Xeadin, however even without the knowledge of how big the block sizes are those players will still go on oblivious.  That said, why not make it easier for those who aren't oblivious.

Here is a simple reason. You said 16*16? Where does the block go? A square with sides of an even length always has 4 center points (8 if it is 3D, like the ones we are talking about). You do the maths.

Protection zone sizes need to be odd so the block can go in the middle.

Ok, well now we're just arguing semantics.  Logically you would go 17x17x17, 33x33x33, and 49x49x49 so you can cover the whole chunk, and it would also give a 1 block buffer on the next chunk over.

Wouldn't also be a huge hassle to change them?  :P

I wouldnt think so? I would think you would just have to change the dimensions.
Holy balls.

Maybe, but some ps stones could get too much bigger and go on someone elses creation/building...also they would probably have to be more expensive  :P

Right. Also having protections based on chunks wouldn't leave much control for the player(s) setting up the protection stones-- with the precious stones, it allows for better or complete customization and control, so that your house or property is not just partly protected or the protection could run into someone else's creation. You are able to protect as much of it as possible in the form of the precious stones.

Precious stones is the name of the plugin. We call them protection stones because we only use them for protection.
