New Map Suggestion

[fentias]

For the new map I cannot stress enough how much I believe there should be new mascots, new colours for said mascots, etc. This is in the case that the new map will feature a new school which I obviously assume it will considering it's location change. I know that this might seem quite pointless to suggest that a new school has new mascots and colours to some but I thought I would suggest it just in case this may not be happening.

If it is not already obvious, a new mascot and colour would really push the new map to other levels and would be SO good for SRP lore in itself. As previously mentioned it would help the new map feel like an actual change in LORE for the characters and players instead of just a new map with everything else remaining the same. If we had the same Bobcats and Spartans.. that would simply just allow lore to have holes in it which is unprofessional to say the least.

To put it simply, new mascots and colours helps the school and map change feel more like a drastic change for the characters, therefore giving many, many players that choose to keep their characters a LOT of development for them. That is all, thanks for reading.

EDIT: Just a small edit based on what Banter said further down, I completely understand how much time it may take to redo plugins and such however I also very very much encourage the staff team to take time on updating these plugins so that we can have new colours.

I like the blue and red and the uniforms just got remade so it'd be annoying if they had to remake it again, as well as the team uniforms and if they have already made the school in the new map, it would be annoying to just replace the colors (and maybe words like how theres a giant spartan and bobcat on the wall of karakura high) and even the mascot plushies. I haven't read the lore yet but if the mascot was the same as before, I feel like we wouldn't change it because that would just create a ripple in the lore if somone reads it and it wouldn't make sense for there to be mascots from the beginning on SRP to 2021, then a ripple which brings out different mascots.

Yeah! I don't really mind the blue and red either but they shouldn't miss out something as big as lore just because uniforms were remade. In my opinion at least, lore should be prioritised over stuff like a simple recolour - but maybe that's just me. I think they're still in the process of creating the new map which is why I put my feedback ASAP. Personally it just feels like making an effort to change the map and school only to have it be basically the same school with a different map is basically useless.

im pretty sure they're already changing both for the new map

[Yume_]

already being done from what I know, but if anyone has any suggestions for those colors/mascots you can post them

We've already discussed a lot about the possibility of new mascots and new colours. From what I know right now, and this is subject to change when we discuss it more as right now there is no need as the map isn't even done, but we basically will be keeping the Red & Blue, due to the colours being prominent in plugins and such. As for mascots, I am open for them to change, of course. For now we have a small idea of what we're going to use but again all is subject to change or stay the same.

I am extremely excited for the new maps, I being one of the few players to of been here and stuck around since pretty much the beginning, I feel as if every map acted as a type of 'revamp', it separated the server into massive arcs of progress. Each map brought a gigantic leap in progress, from the First Map not even really being that much of a roleplay server (in comparison to todays standards!) To the second map bringing in the idea of 3D-Models, GangRP, Sports Teams, Clubs and proper housing, to the Third Map introducing FamilyRP, Player-run factions, Proper cars, Advanced Housing (Apartments, towers and estates) as well as a gigantic leap in what was expected in roleplaying. I expect the fourth map to BLOW ME AWAY and if it is pretty much the Third Map but with fresh paint I will be pretty disappointed in all honesty.

Each map to me represents a unique time in my history and this comes as apart of the fact that each map has been SO DIFFERENT! Each town had their own diverse personality, from Furness Academy being a very basic school with no REAL proper structure to roleplay to the 2nd map beginning to sprinkle us with the possibilities of the future to the third map being what would actually fill the growing creative needs of our playerbase who was slowly (but surely!) getting more mature and ready to handle more advanced concepts.

Apart of this was the fact that even besides the differences in the playerbases of the time, each map and each school in particular were all very different. THEY FELT DIFFERENT! And I think that server-lore for each of the schools was one of the reasons why I think all that. As we all know, Furness Academy DIDN'T HAVE A UNIFORM, and for a long time that was the same for Taketatsu until Ducks (albeit not well at first) introduced the idea of uniforms.

Since Taketatsu, the following map of Karakura would also incorporate the idea of uniforms (later on), With the new map set to bring in a gigantic leap of progress I expect that it should not start off with such a downgrade as removing a integral part of what the server sought to be. It is in my belief that there is no choice but for the new map to blow us away with new, fancy uniforms that we love as I don't think there would be any other way to please the server.

They could've waited if they wanted too. If they haven't got uniform saved for February then that was their fault for bringing them out early; it brings me to the belief that they simply wanted to give us the uniforms they A. Didn't decide to use for the Fourth Map. B. Wanted to end the Third Map on a high note. C. Had a little bit of spare time and did it for fun whilst developing the uniforms for the Fourth Map.


There is also the concern that if they don't it wouldn't make sense lore wise. . Why would a different school use the same uniforms and mascots? It doesn't make any sense to me. I think it is practically a GIVEN at this point that a new uniform(s) and new mascots are a MUST and that it is nonsensical to think that it would be any other way for any DECENT reason.

I'd like a different core colour for both Highschool and College, each map should be distinct in what colours they use and shouldn't match together. It would be uninspired to reuse old assets for such a big project that is so hyped up.

As for the mascots saying the same - If the primary colours are not going to change then the mascots should AT LEAST be changed. . . . I mean who here actually likes the Highschools being bobcats? I remember people voting but like . . It is lame. (Spartans were cool though but should be changed also as for what my point earlier about stuff being uninspired.)

As for COLOURS I WOULD LOVE TO SEE TOGETHER

GOLD/YELLOW AND BLACK

Simply speaking these colours could work well for some type of god like creature or just something cool, I can see these colours being easy to make a uniform out of also.
DARK BLUE AND RED

The main bit of the uniform would be blue, however perhaps a more cloudy sky like blue? with the logo and other small stuff like cuffs being red. Maybe the mythical leader being something of duality.
LIGHT YELLOW & BLUE

POSEIDON/NEPTUNE. KING OF THE SEA WITH A GOLDEN TRIDENT!
GREEN AND GRAY (SLYTHERIN COLOURS.)

DRAGON. A COOL ASS DRAGON!
Purple and Light Gray

A DRAGON THAT IS HUMANOID, like Spyro but with the body of a Spartan!
Light Green and White

WORLD TURTLE OR MASSIVE FROG. Something tall and ominous but not downright evil or of malice.

TL;DR
The map should BLOW THE PLAYERBASE AWAY and anything to further the servers team from doing that should be avoided. I have voiced my opinions (In which I think are pretty much shared given their basic nature of wanting progress and something different) Of course there are going to be people who want things to stay the same and to not evolve and I will never personally understand it but it happens.

All I have to say is period.. i literally couldn’t agree more. I think the change of mascot and school colours means so much to a school, and I remember the first time we ever changed to black and red, blue and white and it was such a fun thing.

I remember getting excited about new uniforms, new banners and just the school looking like a place full of spirit and pep.

I personally LOVE the black and the yellow, aswell as the purple and the silver and would happily say I’d wear that around.

Literally period on everything you said.
Period period period.

So the great thing about red and blue, is that they're standard colors for teams. You could have the school's colors still be something like neon green and people using the plugin would probably would just go "oh, this is red vs. blue" since they're two easily distinct colors. The fact the colors lining up with the school is just a cool buff on top of it.

Obviously that's not the ideal situation since it's just hoping players don't get upset. The better one is figuring out how to change the colors. They can probably be changed, I'm sure there's a color value or an item ID that's for blue/red dyed armor. The fact the colors lining up with the school is just a cool buff on top of it. (I know nothing about coding)

edit: i googled it and it's possible unless you can't edit the code for the plugin
https://bukkit.org/threads/how-to-set-color-of-leather-armor.261764/

To me the change of colors outweighs the plugins since like Sam has said, using old assets feels uninspired which sucks since a lot of people have inspiration and motivation to do stuff for the new map (characters, revamps of their own things, etc)

 

[Ecocide]

new school has new mascots and colours

I like the idea of new mascots, but new colors? all the plugins are "red vs blue" if we were able to change the colors i doubt they would look as good as they do now

but I do hope we get some cool mascots next map

They would look fine. It is a plugin that utilises minecraft items that haven't been updated since way before the server was invented; as for how easy it would be. There isn't any limitations in code that make it so plugins can only be red and blue. That is absurd.

If you mean it wont look as good- it will. and here's why!!

When you think of opposing colors, it's usually warm vs cool.
The trick about it is using the primary opposing colors against each other.


Now if you wanted to find colors for the same side, like how bobcats are red and black. There's multiple areas of the color scheme for that

any of these colors would fit well with having it for the team.


Whenever you want to put colors together that symbolize rivalry, you have to make sure- That they don't work well together. That you can tell they're against each other- Or really, aren't ever supposed to be mixed up. Good way to look at these are the complimentary colors.

ORANGE vs BLUE- Are two colors you would not want to mix together, so it would make your brain autamitcally think rivalry.

Simply said, whenever things don't go together, it'd emphaze that you SHOULD think they're against eachother


If we had spartans as

YELLOW

And we had bobcats as

ORANGE

You won't be like "That's weird it looks way to blended together!"

If we had spartans as

RED

And we had bobcats as

GREEN

You would be more like "Oh, so they're against each other."

If, you were to look at a basic color wheel, most of it would be handpicked for you before goig to the details- Now on that color wheel around 3/6 are complimentary white the rest are primary.

What's left is- What would look pleasing?


YELLOW + BLACK

vs

WHITE + GREEN

It may not sound that good on paper- but if you were to put it as uniforms. It'd look rather visually pleasing- Not to mention that Yellow and black symblizes something like bumble bees

FUN FACT: Red and green are used on traffic lights because they're easy to tell apart!
