They are all so ridiculously fake.

I am aware most of them "might" be fake (truth is none of us has evident proof they are) but it still makes me laugh.

So I believe a world size of maybe <80MB would work (as monkey pointed out)... However I'm not sure at what point peoples clients will crash when they enter the world. Opticals input would be nice.

Indeed it would.

I'm not sure if this varies depending on the computer specs but I've been able to enter worlds with such tall ceilings and similar areas in other servers such as "WoM realms" and they actually allow the higher ranked players to own worlds of up to 1024x1024x1024 (not to advertise or anything). Thats why I thought it would be possible to make such a big world, sorry if I troubled you relkeb 

However I think monkey's proposal is appropriate, even if its not what we intended, it fits just right.

I like the idea, but if we're doing it on a grand scale such as this, we should make it limited to crafters only.
Crafters are hand-picked and chosen as the best builders for stuff such as this, anything less would be an insult.

Well, though I agree partially I think that if we let the crafters judge who is capable and who is not im pretty sure we can pick up the best builders and operators around. Im just suggesting this cause i know some of the builders who are also crafter candidates and operators who have the level would also like to participate.

I know that handling a large team would represent problems with organization, so im keeping this as 10-man team (if the other crafters agree with this). We already have the crafters, meaning 5 spaces are occupied and that leaves enough space for another 5 people which will be picked from a list I'm going to make of all the people who propose themselves in this thread.

A few days ago I started discussing about a possible project with MrMonkey91, possibly the biggest thing that would happen to this server if it were done. I'm talking about a 1:1 scale Burj Khalifa with all the surrounding area.

A little bit of info for those who don't know what the Burj Khalifa is: The Burj Khalifa, formerly known as the Burj Dubai, is as of now, the TALLEST man-made structure on earth with an approximate height of 830 m. This building is located in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai. The tower is part of the new 2 km² complex called Downtown Dubai at the 'First Interchange' along Sheikh Zayed Road, near Dubai's main business district. (extract from wikipedia)





First things first. From what I've said, you can all probably imagine the gargantuan size this thing is gonna have and just a standard world of 512x512x192 would NOT suffice to fit in such project, given the height of 830m and the fact that we would build at a 1:1 scale, we would actually require a world 416 blocks wide, 400 Blocks long and 832 blocks tall to fit in the whole complex.

So I extend a little petition here through the forums to our admin and the owner of the server, Relkeb and Opticalza: I really wish to see this project go through and finished sometime in the near future but to do so I need your help and permission so I plead to you to let this happen (if possible) because I really think that this could make this server even more popular and amazing than it already is.

Next is the builders for this inmense project. I wish I had enough time and talent to do this by myself but I don't, and besides building all alone is not even fun. So my next plead is to all the crafters of Opticraft: Since this is such a massive build I'm sure you all will want to have a say on this, so I ask you to please help me to make this project a reality. I know I have MrMonkey's support but I'd like to know what the other crafters, Terrewe, ZXFear, Luminaeus, Toxic, etc. (sorry i dont know the remaining crafters  ) think.

However I suggest this is not only limited to us crafters, since I know Opticraft has many great gifted builders that are yet to reach this rank or that have gone through the path of moderation to keep us safe from the griefers that lurk around every day. So I say we make a white list of all the builders that shall participate on this. Anyone approved by us the crafters or admins can build and help for this project, but remember, you'll have to limit yourself to the guidelines that the other crafters will set.

With this I finish my little petition for I know that you all have a busy day and cant spend it all here reading my wall of text. I thank you for your time and please post your thoughts regarding this project. Relkeb and Opticalza if you're reading this I humbly await your response.

PS: MrMonkey if you would be so kind to post some pictures of the SketchUp model and the voxelized model you have it would be great

Update:
List of the possible builders that will help with the project (pending review from the crafters):
-Destroyer
-Clawstrider
-Hammondsben
-Gameguy96

I've decide only to include those who mention themselves because this has to be voluntary, we won't force anyone to go with this project if they don't want to, so I ask all people who are interested to help to speak up in this thread.

Just for bragging rights. Sorry if I seem conceited 

This is a T-90 main battle tank. Standard issue for the Russian army, made to replace the old T-72. This one took me quite some time, a little due to the size of it and a lot due to my own lazyness. It ended up taking 1 whole week to finish and it measures 270 blocks long 111 blocks wide and a bit over 70 blocks tall. The block count for this one build rises as high as 120k blocks (rounded), probably the biggest hand-made build that I've done up to now.

Without further ado, here are the pictures:

A 3/4 view of the whole build to appreciate the dimention.


A close up of the front of the turret and the "red eyes" of the tank 


A close up of the top of the turret to see all the gadgets and gizmos on top of it as well as the mounted Heavy MG


Back of the tank where you can see the "grills" that lead to the engine


Here you see the detail of the treadmills and the wheels of the tank


And finally an up-front view of the tank in question. I would have liked to make an up-front picture where the cannon was pointing at the viewer and add a "feeling lucky?" caption to it but the situation of the build didn't let me.


Hope you guys and military geeks like me enjoy.

I also swear that my next build wont be "military-related" so you don't get bored of me.

PS: Ill have to start building like this normally to live up to the reputation of Opticraft's crafters 

Requiescat In Pace, you have my condolences.
Like some of the above said, don't blame yourself, in the end it all comes to that. Even if he died in such way, he's in a better place now. The only thing to do now is go on with your life and don't forsake his memory, remember all the good times you had with him and cherish them.

well... here is me
