Introducing The Atlas Update! by keenanjt August 31, 2016 at 8:08 AM UTC

After months of intense development, lots of planning and of course so much hype... We are very proud to be releasing the Atlas update. It is a complete rewrite of Avicus' in-game plugins. Three new and essential plugins, Hook, Atlas and Compendium have been built with scalability and better performance in mind. In the long run we believe we will have improved gameplay quality and moreover bettered the entire Avicus experience. We have also aimed to improve our competitive scene and quality in operating and managing tournaments and scrimmages.

As many of you already know we are deprecating YAML as our map code in favor of XML. This is one big factor that has delayed the update because it has been no easy job for the map developers to convert every map to this new format. For our avid builders, we have set up a documentation page for Atlas XML at atlas.avicus.net. If you are interested in what Atlas has in store for matches and maps, visit the Atlas announcement post here.

Things to note!
New features:
We'll be updating this list as we think of the features that we have added.

We hope you enjoy the update and, as always, leave feedback below and report issues at avicus.net/issues.

Sincerely,
The Avicus Network Development Team

All of the map rotations have been revamped, and every map has also been reassessed.

Also how many new TNT maps did you make for Atlas? Are they DTM? And if they are, are they single block obby mons or multiblock mons like on OCN?

DrKimJTV August 31, 2016 at 1:08 PM UTC

Love it! Finally bringing Avicus back to it's golden days, bring on the 1500 standard player count :p

Multiblock monuments are possible. We don't have many cannon maps however.

Crazy_ August 31, 2016 at 1:08 PM UTC

Neat

Are there any plans to add TNT maps?

Legoche August 31, 2016 at 2:08 PM UTC

Yes, we are currently accepting TNT maps aswell as editing some old maps, e.g static which got an atlas overhaul.

Why it look likes OCN? The XML is OCN why!? Why no avicus XML? We don't have to be like OCN I liked the old avicus and the Atlas update is cool, but why have you to change the xml and lobby and stuff if u join the server u also could do a new block ''Atlas''

The XML is avicus xml not OCN xml. Also XML is easier to create than YML

Please make sure during the fixing and all that, that whenever your name is in chat because of a kill or death it's highlighted in bold letters.
