Ladios's Slate Edits

1.84 MB, 14 years ago, submitted by Ladios

The point of Blockland is to build, and probably the best map for that would be Slate. The reason is simple, a near-infinant expanse that has no obstructions to let you build to your hearts content. However only being able to build in the cloudy dark void that is the default slate map can be quite boring. The Ladios's Slate Edits pack introduces 16 exciting maps varying from a nice meadow, to the surface of the moon, to a lava covered... lava...thing...
When it comes to finding the right atmosphere and feel to match a build, Ladios's Slate Edits are sure to have you covered.

The 16 maps include:
Slate Astro - Introducing: starry void that lights you from all sides
Slate Christmas - A snowy moonlit forest visited by the famous Santa Claus!
Slate Exodus - A desert after the sun is set, lighted only by the dim north star
Slate Fields - A grassy meadow with lighting perfect for nearly any type of build
Slate Flipped - When the world gets turned upside-down, you get this topsy-turvy map
Slate Inferno - A very hot lava-y expanse of lava
Slate Lunar - The earth is visible in the distance on this astronomical map. Includes scaled earth-moon gravity effect!
Slate Martian - A new addition to the set, the red planet is perfect for any alien build!
Slate Showers - Another new map; a muddy plane perpetually covered by rain clouds
Slate Spooky - To get that perfect creepy feel, a foggy forest lit by a low-hanging moon
Slate Tundra - Set in the middle of... some cold place, this map is for all your icy needs
Slate Twilight - Permanantly suspended minutes before dark, this map is perfect to give your build the dramatic effect only acheived by perfect lighting
Slate Wastelands - In the desert, when the wind picks up, it can get pretty dusty out there

Version 3 will include 3 brand-new maps to replace the removed Slate Desert, Slate Storm, and Slate Sea.

The only map that I would use of these is the Slate Sea, in my opinion it's one of the best sea Slates. It has great a skybox and nice ambient. The Slate Flipped is very unique, but has no practical use.
Ladios
When I made Slate Flipped I had three other possible maps I wanted to substitute for it (that all actually eventually made it in anyways). The point of the map was I wanted something different and abstract. I considered a map that simulated falling through clouds, but it turned out to be crap, a map where everything was all staticy, also crap, then I got the idea to do an upsidedown map.
Its good for abstract builds and occasionally I have actually seen it used for cave builds where the people did not want

Great job. (claps)

I like the maps, but I've noticed that in Slate Lunar you can't see the earth when you look straght at it. You can only see it at certain angles. At least for me...
Ladios
Yeah, thats because I used a FX flare for the earth instead of making it part of the skybox in order to lower the downloads people would need if they joined a server with this map. FX flares suck, btw. :P

Count Bleck, the Slate Showers map is basically slate storm without the water and slightly lighter rainfall.

I have no idea what you said and i probably dont care, Russian.

i like all of them but slate flipped, it makes my head spin
Ladios
Oh yeah... I need to release my new set, only problem is Blockland hates me right now and keeps locking my .zips I use when editing so I can't change the files. Still trying to figure this shit out.
I'm torn, I want to download this but I don't want ALL the maps. Is it possible you could just make a single map thats just a nightime slate? Destruct is TO dark and I only need a night slate. If you could just take one of the night time lighted slates you have and make it a single map add on that would be very helpful.
overload
kool but to many maps
Zezima
Totally Better than Demians 5/5 :D
Ladios
Eventually I will release the maps induvidually. The reason I have been so hesitant on doing this is because of how many maps use common files. Also, the issues it could cause from people joining a server who already have this pack but don't have the single map.
Some maps such as Mars or Tundra which do not have any original content will be able to be ported efficiently, but there may be problems with Exodus or others. I will do more on this later.

@overload

You're kidding, right? Too many maps? Dude... stop by Demian's slate edits. THAT's too many maps.

Those are good. Not as good as Ladios's though.

:D 5/5

Actually, Slate Flipped looks like it would make a good map the right way up!
