How Does the Map get to the Buyer?

[Krythax]

Hello all, I am thinking about joining the building community and possibly making my own maps, koths etc. One thing I am unsure about is how the map that someone builds gets to the person who bought it. I am not that bright so if you could explain the process in detail that would be fantastic! Thank you and have a nice day!

Here's how it works:

The builder creates a map/build for the client.

The builder asks the client whether they want a schematic or world file.

If they say world file, the final product is sent to the client via a world file (the world file the build is in).

If they ask for a schematic, then you have to create a schematic (tutorials on YouTube) and just send them that.

All files are sent over Skype, Discord, etc.

I always upload via Mediafire then send a link (That way if they loose it the link is always up)

I never show ingame tours.

There are multiple ways to get the builds to the buyer:
- Build it on their server (always good to get a downpayment so they can't take it w/o paying)
- Build it on your own server/world and give them the world files over email, skype, discor, mediafire, dropbox or something else
- Sell the world files via selly.gg
- If they want it in a schematic instead of a world save, use mcedit/surf youtube for tutorials

Thank you guys very much! This is helping a ton.[DOUBLEPOST=1482802443][/DOUBLEPOST]Another thing, how do you access the world file if you're building in a single player world. I want to add World Edit and other things like that.

ok to access your single player world file (for windows 8) when youre on desktop click the windows key to go onto the windows thing that has all the squares and crap then type %appdata% then, click .minecraft then saves then there are your worlds, you can also place downloaded worlds in here like maps etc.

For Worldedit, get forge and then look up worldedit for singleplayer. And to get the world save, just go to the windows thing at the bottem left, and type %appdata% press enter, click .minecraft, then click saves. Boom, now I'm pretty sure you can't upload folders to mediafire.... yea, you can't, so just put the folder in a winrar file and then upload it to mediafire, or just send the winrar file with the worldsave in it to the client. :tup:

TO GET SCHEMATICS FROM SINGLEPLAYER
you can download worldedit mod for forge, and once you save a schematic in game, you can access them in your .minecraft folder by going to config-> worldedit -> schematics

Use localhost

Thanks!

Use localhost

Can you still get the map file from localhost?

Yes

bro stop complicating it

It's not that complicated...

Ingame tours make you vulnerable to worlddownloader, only do this if the client has already paid the whole sum. Otherwise, skype screenshare.

 

[arches]

Alright, first create a MC Server (No PortFowarding)
Then you use Schem's Sorry if it was complicated

he don't need to make a server at all, he can do it easily from singleplayer.

 

[Ivain]

Even if you somehow fail to install worldedit on singleplayer, there's always MCedit or Mineways, both of which allow you to make schematics
