Re: Alternate Minecraft Roleplay Themes

A map would be useful, yeah. And an oil refinery would be awesome!

[thunderpants]

Okay, I could work on one of my magic Paintmaps TM But I need to know how big the city will be. Also for the sake of scale, I will be doing it to a 1 pixel is 2 blocks scale.

[Sataz]

Do one pixel 1 block scale, it's what I always do in MS paint and that way you could get better round edges (not sure how you want everything to look like)it is also very useful for the sake of 1 block thick walls.

Okay but if this is a city-sized map and I need to do all the pixels I won't be happy...

Maybe a less detailed one first?

Also how about sewers?

roughly sketch the edges? then give everyone their own part of the city to create as they please? I know the city will then look weird, as if it were build in different periods of time. but I think you will pretty much get the same outcome if you create the whole map yourself(?)
anyway, if you were to divide it into sectors you could make a poverty area, a skyscraper area and so on. this will probably prevent buildings that should more or less be the same to look completely different and it owuld save you a lot of time creating every inch of the map

About sewers, if we were to go with the different area idea above, we should only jave sewers in the richer parts of the town (too bad there won't be any human-sized turtles in minecraft anytime soon )

[thunderpants]

I still need to know the size of the map.

Also should we make a list of needed buildings

Oil Rig - partially broken/burning
Houses - Various Conditions

Science labs? Full of Pigmen
Sky scrapers?
In construction towers?
Shops?
Ponds?
Library?
Church/Chapel?
Old Castle?

[Aegonian]

It's hard to estimate what size should be used... I'd say we start at about 1000x1000 blocks. If it's too large, we cut some parts out. If it's too small, we can simply add more space.
It'll be easier to estimate once a few buildings have been placed next to each other on the map. The house I built is 15x10 blocks big: 100 of those and you've filled a street stretching from one side of the map to the other.

The buildings you suggested are nice! I think we should also have a police station, hospital, fire station and perhaps some military area (a camp?). Oh, and some kind of large monument in the centre of the city's central plaza! Perhaps a park, too?

Great city that we could use for the base of our map. all we have to do is destroy some buildings, and make things look old. here is the link to the download. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YZNT5U6V

Lol Sataz

I've never really cared for modern society

Great ideas guys. How about a dead forest-desert around the city?

[Aegonian]

That's actually a very nice suggestion! We should do that!

Yeah I think we should it from scratch.

How about some factories?

[epicksl]

fine scratch ma seggustion.....Id still love to help build.

[JorgasElite]

Factories.

[Sataz]

Up the server, we wanna build stuff!

[Aegonian]

Factories are good. Why didn't I think of that earlier?

We'll put the server online as soon as possible.

[thunderpants]

Okay so I think we will need to divide the city into sectors,

Maybe:

Industrial
Big City (Skyscrapers)
Little City (Houses)
Dock
Rural (Parks etc)
Other

And then label the maps, with various numbers of each sectors. That way it's slight more structured.

[Aegonian]

The server is online now (even though, for me at least, the Server Status Indicator doesn't show it is).

[JorgasElite]

I might be able to get on tonight. Probably too late though lol

[thunderpants]

Oh btw, the oil rig look awful at the moment as it was half finished when I had to go.

[JorgasElite]

Good idea Thunderpants, let's smother Aeg with insults and... stuff.

Wut?

Also I guess melon and pumpkin farming will be against the rules... It may look weird.

[kingnecromancer]

I will help... Now I will be off to make a random skyscraper so you can see it

[JorgasElite]

It shouldn't be too hard to make a skyscraper lol

[Aegonian]

Yeah, melons and pumpkins shouldn't be farmed: Melons are supply crates, and pumpkins are televisions.

[Sataz]

It shouldn't be too hard to make a skyscraper lol

It will take fairly long seeing you have to build 70+ high (if you want it to actually "scrape" the sky that is)
@Aegonian: Do any of the wool colours look like a broken TV?
