Tips on Making Survival Games map?

[Epicsushicat]

As you can see from the title i am planning on making my own Survival games map with a couple of mates. I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on building it. I have the terraforming plugins on my server but i don't know how to make a dome. Even if i did i wouldn't know the dimensions, so i was hoping someone could help me and give advice? Many Thanks Epicsushicat

Here's a link to the map creating guidelines.

Here's a link to the domes (if you want them). If not, go on the World Edit wiki I'm sure they have help for creating glass domes.

To create a glass dome: Get worldedit. Go to the center of the map, and make sure the y value is the average level of the terrain along the edge of the map. do //hsphere glass [radius of the arena]. You should now have a glass dome surrounding your map

Also, i'd suggest using worldpainter to create a flat map in the biome you want your map in, and then completely terraform using Voxel Sniper or this for the rest of the map. Make sure the cornucopia is fair, and add some suitable structures that suit the style of the map, along with plenty of well hidden chests. Follow these guidelines, and you should have a decent map that stands a good chance of making it into the servers.

Ok, make the terraforming realistic and smooth, make a couple of buildings spread all over the map.
Get some redstoners and make traps and puzzles. Etc.

Still learning WorldPainter, and might make one later. In all seriousness, WP needs a mask tool.
