New Spawn Suggestion Thread!

i think the imperial city would have MORE stairs to climb down, and earlier in this topic i thought we were trying to get less, but [lift up] and [lift down] could be a good replacement. and maybe we could set it up so the rules and banned items are all on the same floor, in plain view.

OR we could move the spawn point to the bottom of the stairs!

or heres another idea i just came up with

sorry for the bad drawing skills i have, but
in this picture, there is the spawn city, but in my idea, there would be 4 of the V bridges all at the same height, and instead of having plots inside the city, i was thinking they could be outside, and that the inside of the city would be an either inaccessible area, or a nature reserve where people could walk through and such and enjoy the pleasant smell of virtual flowers, and also the green squares would be orcworm statues that you would pass on your way out. and also if the plots were on the outside, the big ones in the corners could be rooms for each of the 4 major cities, with either teleporters or railroads. just an idea though

How amazingly smart. That solves all of our problems

So you have to go up stairs to exit the spawn?

I was asked to make a construction plan of the imperial city, and so created this very rough first impression:



I use 1 pixel as 1 block in minecraft. This map is currently still too rough and blurry to work with. I jsut wanted to give a rough impression how it would be experienced like.
Basicaly, it is possible to scale the city inside minecraft.

Right now, this plan is a little bigger than Acheron.
I need your opinion... is the desicion final and shall i continue working on the map or shall i change the scale or are you comming up with an entirely different concept?

If we're all agreed on this then I'm all for it.

What about the size? Is it ok? Bigger? Smaller?

I love the design and as for me I always say bigger is better but thats just me. As it is it's ok with me.

I can't really see the pixels on that image, but as long as the various homes and stores that're in the real Imperial City are able to be recreated as blank plots in-game (i.e. not 4x4 blocks for each home, obviously that isn't practical)

Looks like people change their minds over time.

Anyway i havent plaid the game myself so its a bit hard to imagine how big this city actualy is.

You haven't played Oblivion? The fuck? Go acquire it, you've been missing out for five years.

No money. And also no real intresst

you can get a used copy for consoles for like 10$ and a PC copy goes for dirt cheap during a steam sale

The game that is, not money.

Im more of the creator than roleplayer. I like games where i can customize and generate a lot. Thus is why i love minecraft, garrysmod and spore.

Ill just watch a view videos featuring the imperial city and try to scale it proper.

Ok Grintendo said i should post this in the forum thread and i am.

I got here a complete set of imperial city.

This maps are extremely accurate and i have used them myself for modding in oblivion.

Spoiler:

Also i got the complete map here:

Spoiler:

Use it if needed

Blast it!!! I had just found those and was about to post them.

here's a video of a guy who made a beginning of the city just to get an idea of it

and if we're really gonna do this and you need a labour force, i am a fairly good builder, and would love to help

If we help...




What's the carrot?

Six months later you can tell everyone your grand tales of helping to construct the best spawn ever seen on a minecraft server.

Fixed it

That's what I'm in it for. The pride.

Implying this spawn will be the best...

If you don't want to help, don't. We want talented people, people motivated by rewards.

I'll help, but I'm not really in it for the ego. (I already got my boost from getting my idea accepted. )

Jarvisd wrote:OR we could move the spawn point to the bottom of the stairs!

Damn you

reward could be a free plot in that thar city for free

I'm plenty motivated without rewards however what ever reward there are, would be nice.

Firstly, Skyrim {nerdgasms}

Secondly, I'm more than happy to help build the city if required, don't want any rewards either I just want to be a part of bringing a piece of my favourite game of all time ever to my second favourite game of all time ever xD

Also, from my epic skills using google, I found someone who has already made a replica of the imperial city, maybe he'll let us borrow it?

http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/imperial-city-oblivion-replica/

.... well then... lets ask this person if we can
and if he don't we still use

Meh...
as easy as it would make it to just copy and paste I would like it if we were the ones to make it that way we could say that its OUR spawn, not "that one guy's" spawn.

I prefer to make it ourselves, i say we make it big, so we can add our own MineCraft Touches.

I'll open up a thread asking for helpers very soon.

We shouldn't have a cluster f*** of player owned plots in spawn... Major cause of lag in spawn.

Instead I suggest a zoned area outside of each exit we have (If we have a big wall..) where players have their shops. It may mean a little more work zoning wise, but it'd reduce crashes/lag within spawn itself a lot.

OR! prevent the use of lava and water within spawn unless part of the original spawn design.


off-topic: hmm.. why do my posts always sound like I'm a whiney noob.. I have to fix this...

preventing the use of water/lava should work quite well at reducing lag, I know it caused a lot for me, particularly the fountains at the bottom of the tower

Also, I think most of spawn should be dedicated to low price newb items with a black market with more items in it possibly. Also I think having decorative buildings as opposed to masses of privately owned shops would help reduce lag (although still have the buildings accessible/with interiors to make the spawn more awesome)

One other thing I'd like to see is, instead of the railway, have an area where people can pay to put their City teleporter so people can actually get to cities from spawn (or fix the railway, whatever works best lol) maybe even with the teleporter pattern (without the keystones) placed so all the teleporters match style wise

Just suggestions that i thought i would add

Perhaps we could add a warp room underground where town / city owners can pay us (see: me) a fee to get their teleporter setup there.

This.

I still prefer the RailRoad , and this time i'd make it awesome... Without limitations like last time.

Straight off the top of my head, a circular rail road would look awesome...

Railway tracks cause lag, the portal probably doesn't..

+1 to the Portal idea

Everything causes freaking lag! Stop putting that ahead of what'll look better!

Guys, school started again and i didnt have so super much time to work on making a pixel sized map yet, but this is what i got so far.



The shown sections are fully workable with yet. 1 pixel = 1 block

I would like a test-build of this first attempt to see if the size would end up decent.

Looks like a great start to me. Definitely, let's see how it works out!

Lag or not, using minecarts is not an optimal solution. While it may add a touch of scenery and stuff, general server lag causing bungee roping makes minecart rides less enjoyable.

I'd go with the portals for towns/cities (money sink!), and rather sell the (prebuilt) houses in spawn as "teleporter houses". It gives the citizens of spawn the opportunity to advertise their shops where all the guests walk by, and still leaving the actual shop outside spawn.

stargates. stargates so much. i freakin loved those things. and how you had to be a member to use them

HaHa Those were awesome we need those back

Nope railroad.

I don't think the new spawn should be an exact replica of the imperial city, I'd prefer it to be more original and such, maybe we could make our own type of city thing that looks like it

and on the hole railroad, teleporter debate, why can't there be both?
