Title: Opticraft Build Competition
Post by: Nick3306 on February 16, 2013, 03:31:13 am
It's finally time for a building competition for our smp players. Now to stop from getting too many players i am going to set a cap of 40 players for entry. 10 entries will be given out every 6 hours to the first 10 people to post that they want to join. I am doing this because it wouldn't be fair to give out all 40 entries at once due to timezones. EX: The current time is 10:30pm so the next 10 will go out to the first 10 posters who post after 4:30am



Please only enter if you are a serious builder, i don't want a bunch of empty or half finished plots at the end.

When: TBD
Where: opticrafts test build server (IP will be disclosed at the start of the competition)
How Long: The comp will last 2 weeks from the start date
Theme: 3d sculptures (animals, cars, stuff like that)

Plots will most likely be 100x100

NOTICE: The build server is NOT a creative server. It is a small server opti put up for the staff to work on things like the new guest world. It has very limited resources to run on and is not very stable.


In so far

Alright starting signups for this timezone, first 10 after this to say they want to do it say so. Remember only serious builders please.
Title: Re: Opticraft Build Competition
Post by: clawstrider on February 16, 2013, 12:36:28 pm
Why not? I'll give it a go.

Are there any build restrictions? (Size, materials etc.) I know it has to be a 3D sculpture, but apart from that...
Title: Re: Opticraft Build Competition
Post by: Nick3306 on February 16, 2013, 05:17:33 pm
No build restrictions except that it has to be a 3d sculpture. Each player will get creative mode so materials dont matter.

I'm actually a bit relieve, i thought i was going to have too many people try to sign up.

If you guys are worried about not winning then thats too bad, the whole point would be just to build and show off your tallents, who gives a crap if you win or not. I just wanna see what I can come up with and what others do :p

most of the crafters are rich, not the richest, but still rich, they are the best builders so they will probably win and get the reward if there is any.

What, so no rewards are given out because the Crafters will 'probably' win? So what's the point of everyone else entering if they have nothing to win? Plus, who said the reward would be money?

Coloured name (Like Tiggy) would be cool

Also, I take it this will be judged with the default texture pack? And if not, will we be able to specify one, or what?

yeah I ws asking whether or not regular server members could join during the two weeks. I don't really like people flying around and trolling when I'm trying to build so I think only "builders", should be allowed to join

gavin is right, i dont want to be disturbed when im building, and when everyone can join, then griefers can join too.

we obviously dont want griefers in a build server.

It is going to be divided up into plots so you would have to build in that plot. The plot sizes may change but i cant do anything too big.

using texture packs is wicked unfair.... anything can look good with an awesome hd texture pack..... it's fair for everyone if we all get judged on the same default texture.

Post by: TheWholeLoaf on February 18, 2013, 06:12:35 am
Not really, it doesn't give one person more of an advantage over another. Texture packs are avalable to everyone. A texture pack vs default is like choosing to make a house out of wool rather than cobble. Why limit yourself?

Plus, the judge(s), whoever they may be, would take that into consideration.

Btw nick, benj is on the list twice

what about the fact that everyone's dipping into different pools of blocks so there's no standard to base a decision off of? or the fact that not everyone knows the coolest texture pack, nor is everyone's idea of the coolest texture pack the same and that creates a large bias for the texture pack they prefer over the rest.... to be fair for everyone and truly put us all on equal ground we'd have to build with the same texture pack.
Title: Re: Opticraft Build Competition
Post by: TheWholeLoaf on February 18, 2013, 07:29:13 am
You don't judge builds off the blocks it's made of? And there is no one coolest texture pack, your right, one texture pack could be cool to one person and awful to another, but as long as there's not just one or two judges there shouldn't be any bias towards them, like I said, the judges would take the texture pack into consideration.

I'm not going to be installing a bunch of texture packs just to judge builds. They will all be judged using the default one.

all you need to know is //brush, //set and //replace

Not to mention theres a list of commands in game by doing //we help, typing in any command tells you how to use it and there's a detailed list of all the commands + the uses on the world edit wiki

Oh and there's no super command that let's me magically build a sculpture in 30secs

for non-symmetrical organic statues it pretty much only helps with coloring, which is moronically simple to do
//replace oldblock newblock

It would take maybe 2hrs to Learn the majority of it and itd save everyone a month of work

Given that the comp only last 2 weeks I'd rather not hear a bunch of excuses as to y builds aren't finished

Hell maybe nick can have a learning day before the comp starts and ill run everyone through world edit basics

I think there are too many things that can go wrong with everyone using world edit :/

That's wat //undo and //limit are for

Set the limit to 30,000 blocks and no one would be able to make a big enough change to be unrepairable with a quick //undo

Not everyone who hasn't used it is going to learn it in the next few weeks.

I would never expect them to learn everything about the plugin.... More like 5%... We're talking really basic commands

Get your region making tool
//wand

Set a region
Pos 1) left click wand or //pos1
Pos 2) right click wand or //pos2

Change blocks in that region
Change all) //set <block name>
Replace) //replace <old block> <new block>

"Oh shit I fucked up"
//undo

And block names are common sense not to mention now u can see block names/Ids by mousing over them....
But let's say u want stone.... <block name> = stone.....

For wat people would b using for the comp its ridiculously simple and would prolly take trying it once to understand the concept completely
Title: Re: Opticraft Build Competition

Let's just say that it makes things a lot easier.
Title: Re: Opticraft Build Competition
Post by: tiggy26668 on February 19, 2013, 07:22:20 pm
Why would we need world edit for this competition in the first place?  I've never seen Nick say we're using it.

well lets say i need a wall, i can spend 4 hrs making it block by block, or i can make it in 2 mins with world edit, now lets say i need 6 walls..... well there goes a day of my time to build..... or with world edit... i now have an extra 23 hrs 12 mins to add details to that wall to make it sexy.....

now lets say i decide i don't like those walls.... well i either just wasted 1 day making 6 slabs that it turns out i don't like the look of an now i get to spend another day destroying it.... or..... i world edit it away, have wasted less than an hour of my time and can get back to the actual point of the competition which is building something creative....

it's not like there's some magical //awesomebuilding command that just pops out a winning structure..... world edit helps with primitive shapes square/rectangle/circle/sphere/pyramid/cylinder

so instead of wasting time google'ing circle charts not hard common knowledge.... (http://www.google.com/search?q=minecraft+circles&hl=en&tbo=u&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=es4jUfL6IMW00QGFioG4AQ&ved=0CDAQsAQ&biw=1600&bih=809)

i can do //hcyl <block> <radius> <height> n bam i have a circle without spending 2 hrs to reinvent the wheel.......

point: how would you like it if you had to prove the commutative and associative properties of addition every time you wanted to add two numbers together? because asking someone to sit there making a flat wall for hours is the same principle..... i know how to make a square..... world edit just makes it faster so i can build details instead of worrying about making a square.....

You have 2 weeks do do this project. Time isn't the issue. Therefore WorldEdit is not needed.

2 weeks isn't a lot of time so time is a huge issue, 168 hrs/week 40 hrs at work, 56 hrs sleeping 35 hrs of school so not accounting for commuting and time spent doing things other than play minecraft.... that's 131 hrs a week gone leaving only 37 hrs a week to build or 74 hrs for the length of the competition so if i spend 48 hours building and tearing down a few walls that didn't work out that i would've built in 2 mins with world edit then i have 26 hrs, or just over a day to rebuild and detail my build.....

so yea time is a big issue.... but you'd know that if you thought out your smartass remark.

He wasn't being a smartass, that's all you. Perhaps if you ask nicely, an operator might be able to help if needed. Buy I highly doubt you'll get world edit, so I wouldn't bother fighting for it.

You only have a 100x100 plot, that's not much space to fill up in 2 weeks.

No you will not have world edit. With the build server being as unstable as it is, i dont want you guys crashing it every 2 min lol.

The 2 week deadline can easily be extended.

2 questions.

1. Can we get you to do worldedits for us? (Just 1 or 2, I understand that you can't do everything for us)
2. Could we change plot dimensions, if we keep to 10,000 blocks? (50*200 for example)

The plots will be premade, so no you can change them.

As for the getting us to do WE's, having 20 people constantly ask you for a WE is going to be annoying. And when i say no WE, i am also including the people who are OP's in the competition.

The competition will begin today! (thanks to deekay clearing the land for me)

Server IP is smp.opticraft.net:25566

you can use /spawn to get to the grounds.

Just pick a plot and start building, remember, those of you who have WE are not allowed to us it.

As a last warning this server is very unstable, it may go down quite a bit so dont come asking me questions every time it goes down lol.

Pfft chip just wants all the empty plots to himself....  :P

but honestly wats the harm in letting them join... Originally nick planned for 40 and we got half that

So wats wrong with letting some join in now that we have people dropping out to

Not to mention sign ups were only open for like 1.5 days... Some people didn't even see the post....

And it'd b better to let them join now since the comp just started as opposed to 4-5 days into it wen 4 (guessing) more people drop out....
Title: Re: Opticraft Build Competition
Post by: DeeKay on February 28, 2013, 01:42:25 pm
I'll agree with Tiggy, pretty sure there's 1 or 2 plots left from people leaving anyway.
Title: Re: Opticraft Build Competition
Post by: TheWholeLoaf on February 28, 2013, 03:44:13 pm
I also agree but there is a problem.

If we let more people in then we are basically accepting more entries. So the people that have posted here saying "darn I missed the post" would get in but then everyone else who didn't have a chance to join would want to as well. There aren't that many spots open.

There will be more competitions in the future and there's not much harm in letting people who didn't get a shot wait a little longer.

mojang made so woods blocks have a id # for each rotation of wood one of the rotations just happens to b all bark. i think its tree:11-14.

and the competition isn't supposed to be about who knows the coolest block it's about building an awesome sculpture
it's not really unfair that i like building and i look this stuff up...... maybe you should do some research to and see whats available.

i suppose if it's that big of an issue i can go back and change every single one to the ugly version that doesn't really work for a large tree.......

but if it's against the rules to have built things before and discovered tricks i might as well just quit now....

*edit* come to think of it ima just drop out, i just wanted an excuse to build something. this way i can just build my thing for fun however i please good luck everyone else.

I would have made you change it anyway. I thought we came to an understanding when you asked if you could use unobtainable blocks and I said no. It is not about tricks, people who are not OP on the build server cant use those blocks. If you want to drop out because you are mad about something like this then fine, but dont make it out to be something it is not. I am not going to let you continue building that if you are not in the competition.

i'm not mad about it, i'm disappointed. i just wanted to build something awesome i could care less about the competition it was just a convenient excuse to start. So if i can't build something in the comp, and i can't outside the comp i see no point in trying anymore, so yes i'm quitting not out of anger, but out of sorrow and disappointment that what i thought would be an awesome competition about building has gone to shambles, if you feel the need to delete my plot i understand i could care less at this point. Good luck crzy you'll probably win.

*edit* since we're on the topic how is it fair that terre and claw got world edited holes that give them an extra 64 blocks of building space against everyone else?

at least i actually built my tree by hand.

I had to WE out the ground for claw because terr already did so and it would be unfair. As for you, i had already told you that you could not use those blocks yet you did anyway. If you had used them and I didnt tell you that you couldn't, you would have gotten he same treatment terr did.

I also love how you say the comp is going to shambles because I wont let you have an unfair advantage, grow up man. I'm trying to keep a level playing field but i guess that is just not good enough for you. I guess some people just are never happy with anything I try to do to bring some sort of excitement to this server.

And this build comp? I love it. As does basically everyone else.  You should know by now it is impossible to please everyone.

And Tiggy? You built that entire thing in like 2-3 days. Now you clearly know that block is illegal. Guess what? We can give you one of the empty plots from people droopping out. You still have almost 2 weeks left. Get crackin and get over the fact that you cannot use blocks not in creative.

I don't think he meant everyone. He meant the ones that aren't happy with what they are getting, despite it being a good opportunity to compete against each other. Some take it for granted and when something they do that provides an unfair advantage get's stopped - Hissy fits all round.

I had to WE out the ground for claw because terr already did so and it would be unfair. As for you, i had already told you that you could not use those blocks yet you did anyway. If you had used them and I didnt tell you that you couldn't, you would have gotten he same treatment terr did.

I also love how you say the comp is going to shambles because I wont let you have an unfair advantage, grow up man. I'm trying to keep a level playing field but i guess that is just not good enough for you. I guess people just are never happy with anything I try to do to bring some sort of excitement to this server.


[/quote]

um... you didn't have to give claw a hole, you could have just as easily filled in terre's empty hole and then no one would have an advantage of 640k blocks of building space... but instead you gave two people an unfair advantage, that's a real level playing field right there....

oh yea and i didn't know we couldn't use those blocks... remember day one? right after dk set everything up and i was asking u about all these blocks and if we could use them? ya know like fire... the double step... the different tree rotations... and u only ever acknowledge fire saying we could just use fire charges... which we couldn't... cuz it's a forced creative region and they don't work for us there.... and then u completely neglected to mention whether the other ones could b used...

and yea... i could give a shit about that block at this point, that's not why your competitions gone to shambles.... try the fact that half the people have dropped out, half of whats left aren't even doing anything, and half the ones that are decided to build a building for a sculpture contests. it's not going to shambles cuz i can't use 1 retarded block, it's going to shambles cause it's not fun anymore and there's no point in continuing.

had i known all this bullshit would ensue i would have never signed up in the first place.

it's a shame since i was really looking forward to a chance to build freely, but that didn't happen.

have fun with your double standards hope your contest is a smashing success.

I knew this would be your next response. Why are you bringing this all up anyway? Your other reply makes it seem like it's someones fault. Like I said, everyone has their own pace when building, and just people chose to drop out doesn't make this competition 'shambles'.

well i did want to just quit, that's y i did just quit... but apparently for whatever reason it couldn't just end at that. people had to come after me since apparently i'm a terrible person for using a log with all bark to make a tree.... so how dare i defend myself right?

anyway lets try this again. I quit.... no longer in the competition.... get off my back... cya bye.

I told you that you couldn't use any unobtainable blocks after the whole fire thing. However, i didn't tell terr that he couldnt hollow out the ground, i would have hollowed out the ground for anyone who asked me.

I know you said you are not mad but the tone in your posts makes you come across like and arrogant guy who is mad that he couldn't have an unfair advantage. Bitch all you want, deep down you know what i did was the right thing to do. Not only did you use a block that not every one can obtain, but in order to use that block you had to WE them in. I know you are an amazing builder, but I'm not going to give you special treatment in this competition because of it, so please stop acting like a child who gets upset when he doesn't get what he wants.

none of us are allowed to use WE, even the operators who already have it at their dispossal

gives an unfair advantage to the rest of us who could make their creations in 3 WE commands over others who cant, thats why nick didnt give it to us
