Title: Underwater city
Post by: _Obi_Wan_ on April 12, 2012, 04:10:56 pm
While browsing through planed project i can see that i'm not quite match for competition,but i will try to start building underwater city...well i already started a bit but need some good interior ideas or even people who would like to join me in this quest.However i got simple rules about it like normal casual digging,crafting blocks needed to build city.
City as city will not be too big and it's construction will go a bit slow (working durring day so i dont have much time to play).I dont need ingame money or actual workers but if out there are some casual playing people who cant be in game as much as they want and like to build stuff then look no further and join me in this small quest.
For now i manage to create 2 protected apartments as well as protected room with :double chest,breewing stand,low lvl enchanting table,furnace and nonautomated melon farm on surface for making some money only for protection stones.
So any one who isnt griefer and like to create please reply here with exact ingame name so when i'm online i can add u to protected zones which will allow u to use protected shelter,mutual chests and melon farm as well as some enchanted tools which i will try to make as much as i can :-)

P.S:Sorry all for long story and/or bad grammar (i'm croat and i work a lot in RL)
                                                                                                              Play fair and dont grief others :-P

Hey, I think it's a good idea. I own a shop so if you need any supplies, just pm me or check out my shop forum. All the prices at my shop are less than market price, so It will be cheaper for you to build. Btw, If you do choose to buy from my shop, know that it will be a special order. The reason why is because we are actually moving our shop location, so our shop is mostly closed for now. To check out the prices for my shops items, just /home JerichoRaze and check out the signs, or go on my shops forum page and check out the online prices. Although, make sure to check the date of last update for online prices, because they might be way off from the real prices if its not dated within a day or two. If you need any other help, just ask. Good luck on your city! My in game name is JerichoRaze.

Thanks Jericho on offer and i sure will check the store when online....most resource i'l digg on site but there are some that i will need to buy :-) .Btw i read all post regarding your shop and notice that u dont have feathers :-/ and since i'm using my bow to get rid of most famous villans in game (creepers) i need a lot of arrows or feathers so if someone give u or want to sell them to u i would be glad to buy them of from u as well as some nether stuff cos i got a lot of lag when in Nether so i dont go there at all.
Also i read that u need little help while moving store and i wont offer myself but i do get little extra cash from my melon farm and when i go online i will donate to a good cause :-) and if u need melons i can sell them to u even if i get just 1$ more  than in market for it :-)
P.S:if u pm me dont get mad if i dont reply cos it is fast chat and i pay attention only when someone comes near me  :-\
      too busy digging :-) ........while i get older i pay less attention :-)

I will definetly sign up .. but need some time to make atleast city center and protect it with ps stone,and few smaler safe zones for shop or someone's home.I will expanding city piece by piece to make sure all parts are griefproof before creating city parts that can be destroyed by griefer's hand  :).
Since it is underwater city damage on glass roof can create disaster (just hope in that case that repairing the roof will remove water from inside the city).
In week or so i will post first images and then sign up at Community: City/Town Registry and thank u tabooti for droping link  :)

Well i did check your topic and see that u actually didnt had that idea but u made people decide instead of u.... however i'm sorry if u think i took u'r idea about "aqua" city but my city would be more like submerged city then aqua and your post i saw after u post that notice here.
And for others posts about name,well.... i must say my first tought was "Atlantis" even it's corny name  :)  i just want some simple name for it, but i have plenty of time to choose it and all of u to propose one also.
Thanks to thedude114 for roof repairing info...i was thinking it was posible since source water beneath roof has been removed and u confirmed that  :) so....THANKS
To get back to ComputerGameLPer and his post,sorry again but i started building city before i made the post so i will continue to work on it slowly,and if u make name for u'r city please post the name here so i dont take that too  :-\  good luck and hope to see u'r city one day in it full glory  :) (my will be more like little town  with not much residents)

P.S:Sorry all for long post like always and/or bad grammar  ;)
      And small preview of my house & melon farm including underwater "town" project can be seen here: http://youtu.be/As3IvgM2_FM (http://youtu.be/As3IvgM2_FM)

 ComputerGameLPer dont worry,if u are dedicated to your project u will manage to build it.But first get yourself few ps-stones.... trust me it is better with those placed first (i protected my house and farm but few griefers found few holes which they use to damage buildings mostly my fence with Jack'o lanterns wasnt protected so they took lanterns  :-[  and destroy big part of melon farm) i dont mind if someone take melon or cut the tree i plant but to cut stem and digg holes there...well that is just wrong.
So first protect your project then build even if it takes a lot of time,and when u finish make video or take screenshot to bring people to your city. ;)

Good Luck and keep those griefers away  :)

For now i dont acctually need help...need to buy more ps-stones first but if u need place to stay u can be at my farm.Since u can harvest melons if u need cash u can hide at night in one of apartments for free  :)

i use Misa's 64x64 since the first day that texture pack has came out (well not exact day but i use it for long time now)....and it's updated regulary so i love it even more. :)
Title: Re: Underwater city
Post by: _Obi_Wan_ on April 18, 2012, 09:43:23 pm
Btw all of u Forum readers,i opened doors in underwater city for 1 day or so and if any1 is curious can hop in and check it out.......and yes i know it's kinda small for "city" but that is just entrance to it,like huge lobby...one part there is still under construction and entire living part of city is imagined and planed as big towers arround the end part of entrance hall with big apartments and lot of windows so ppl can watch city center and creatures that inhabitate the sea :-)
And please dont judge it yet cos only small part is almoust finished.More will be builded when i get enough cash for protection and for materials...well i digg,craft,bake,cook,harvest a lot so that isnt problem.
And need to watch not to get to close to my neighbours....hm...i think i will never get to close to them but still watching  ;D
And for end of this loooong story  ;) if any moderator comes there with his/hers friend can u please test or search for holes in ps grid....i'm 99% convinced that city is 100% covered in ps fields....and hoping i'm right  :-\

Yo, I checked out your city today and I have to say, it's awesome! :P Also, if your not sure if something is protected, you can right click on it with a pickaxe or another tool. Just thought I'd say that in case you didn't know. Hope the rest of your city goes good! ;)
Title: Re: Underwater city
Post by: _Obi_Wan_ on April 19, 2012, 05:49:51 pm
Thanks Jericho and i'm glad u like it,and about right clicking....yea i know i even used "/ps visualize 100" to see borders on
all stones but u know how a griefer can squeeze trough even 1 block like a rat  ;D ...i was clicking on lot of blocks there but that takes too much time,and time is what i dont have since my buisnes sezon has started so i come home late and tired.
And want to finish that project soon cos i got new ideas while building this  ;)

P.S:Jericho did u tryed using Misa's texture.....if u cant run 64x64 there is also 32x32 version of it.I even tryed  LB Photo Realism and must say it was created with love and care (really good) just i personaly dont like photo realistic tex in game :-)

She doesnt have an official 32x32, but people have converted them to that size and the download is HERE (http://205.196.121.57/25a1ac5rsybg/cwostppu6fsdo5c/Misa+32x32+-+1.2.4%2F+1.2.5+Ready.zip)

hahaha 2crzy4uall i was just gonna put link on that  :D and yea she  dont have official (i think she is a she :-\ ) i also downloaded that one in the link,it was converted by ProjectKey(LP)

P.S:2crzy4uall thanks on ps offer but i got them for now,and started building towers arround back end of city.Btw i got new neighbours and nice view on their city (will make screenshots of it soon  ;) ) and they will have nice view on my city...well it looks better at night when u see city lights from shore and their city home.

P.P.S:After i finish this i was thinking on making even bigger city if a manage to gather arround some of u builders....so if there is any idea on theme we can make new topic on projects and creations......i'm now pro in working underwater structures on smp  ;D

Post by: Jericho on April 20, 2012, 01:28:05 pm
Thanks for the link! :) I tried it out, and I must say that if I'm going to use it I'll probably get the 64x64 version. :P Thanks anyway! ;)

Guys i feel really bad about this but it seems that my city will not be in function ever.i will unlock doors there again if u want to go see why i'm probably abandoning this project,just look at sky when in city and u can see huge city above my and just few blocks away from my farm,probably ps stoped them to expand further.
So if that creation cannot be removed i will need to relocate entire farm,house and city project to another location  :(

Sorry all if i disapointed u but that huge cube like city is way too close to my place and i cant watch that so i will see if op can help and if not i will move from location.

P.S: thanks all for support u offered and see u in few days... at same place or another  :-\
