Probably one person to host, one person to take/edit/post the video.

My ports are nigh-unconfigurable and all I have for recording is an old version of FRAPS, so I can't really do either.

Oh, and:



I went in to creative and did a test run on my temple, it's going to have various side alcoves containing various symbols in ascii art. Just curious if this is the right direction though-- I was going for an ankh.

Looks decent. Maybe break up the bricks? Maybe even try making it out of glowstone to see how it goes.

I'd also be in for the skyblock thing. I've thought of starting it in singleplayer before, but after multiplayer it's just too dull for me.

I was thinking of making the floor stone slabs, will get a screenshot of that later.

Here, this style should break it up a bit.

I could also try it with stone brick as the central flooring with stone slab as the recessed flooring.

Much better. Looks pretty cool now.

Of the two, which one do you liek best?

I wouldn't mind doing the Skyblock thing.
It seems like good fun

Right, but we need someone to host. and someone to record. can you do either of those?

The industrialcraft/EE skyblock Multiplayer is much more fun, plus has OBJECTIVES.

I may be able to record...
It'd have to be in July though...

The first one, walls just blend in a little too much in the other.

So the stone slab floor the entire way then?

I was asking about the two pics in that post, by the way.

That's the two I gathered you were talking about.

With that texture pack it's just the larger bricks of the floor look better against the smaller bricks of the wall. Fits together still, but also breaks it up in a way. Although looking at it more it might be better to go with the smaller bricked floor to blend it in with the stairs and make the alcove stand out more. I think I just convinced myself to like the second more than the first.

What are the dimensions by the way? I sort of feel like messing around with it as well, see if I can come up with anything that can give you ideas.

Well...

Good luck surviving.

Everybody's making videos...

That was hilarious!

What was?

I'm fine to record, we need a host though.

When it's finished, I plan for it to be 15-20 high (building it from the ceiling down after I finish planning). I am not decided on a layout, so I can't really give dimensions. The current hallway and the first alcoves are five wide.

I could possibly be the host for you guys, would have to check performance stuffs for everyone though

Noone want to record with me? :(

Made a few with roughly those dimensions then. These are 15 tall not counting the floor and the "ceiling".

First with glowstone for the ankh.


Then replaced it with lava as it's cheaper and can actually kill stupid people.


Then the obnoxious level.


After that made the other side of the hall to get more of a feel for it.



Finally made it more obnoxious, but with a benefit.

Checked all of the blocks and it's bright enough that none of the blocks appear to drop below light level 9. Of course it might not look as good as your ones, but with it at that height it's actually quite cool to walk around in it a bit.

Not doing lava.

Glowstone is unlikely, but possible.

They're basically your number 1 grievance...

Hm?

No.

Lava is generic and boring at this point.

thenoobbomb wrote:Noone want to record with me? :(

I would, but I lack any sort of expertise or skill.

Like this then?




Not a fan of lava spam either, but I was thinking of how to light it without taking years to track down the resources and avoid torches.

I will!

Lava is though when not in the right quantity, just spammed it looks crap.

Quick idea for the cobble side. Pretty much the only of the changes to the design I like.

No problem at all.
ATM Im testing some recording programs and Ill be recording.
As sidenote, I dont have any headphone, so no sound from me though.
And I play on cracked serv, so its not dakka server, so if any people who are cracked want to record along, feel free to tell me

Well, I'm in then. Just don't rely on any sort of screenshots or anything until I figure out what to use...

Yeah sure...
Will need to be after the 25th of June though...
