General Discussion / MineCon's just around the corner
« on: May 17, 2011, 09:26:15 pm »
Since June 1st is fast approaching, I suppose I will try my hand at hosting a series of spleef games on that day. You may have noticed a few sand pyramids on the Member world-- those are currently under development by me. They hold two different Spleef arenas: One is for two-player (or team) spleef, and the other is for multiplayer (free-for-all or team) spleef.

I would like to get permission from the admins, or the owner, for me to organize the spleef tourneys and set up a practice/ trial rounds the week prior to the big event.

The spleef tourneys will be organized as followed-- I continue to finish the pyramids/ spleef arenas and hold sign-ups in the Events board for anyone interested. Then on the 28th after sign-ups have been finalized, I hold trial rounds to determine who goes on to the actual tourneys and practice rounds to give new players a chance to familiarize themselves to the game itself.

It will be fast-paced, but I am certain that this will turn out to be a good time for all :)

But before I can do any sign-ups/ trials, I need permission from the higher-ups to commence the event-- since I can't just wing it and post whatever I want in the Events boards :P

Projects / Docks/ Harbor
« on: May 15, 2011, 09:32:27 pm »
Looking through the New Public Event thread in the News forums, I've stumbled across a Docks theme, which gave me an idea on a project with that theme.

I am convinced that if I can find the space to build this on, I could make a hillside Docks with a small town and mineshafts into the hillside to make it look and feel like a Beta environment... and give others who haven't played Beta yet a taste of what they can do in the actual Minecraft game itself.

This is just an idea I have running through my head for now. I could probably execute this in Crafter, but then again...

Accepted / Operator Application -- Xeadin
« on: May 06, 2011, 08:15:42 am »
Due to pressing circumstances, I figured it would probably be about time to offer an extra helping hand to the Opticraft Operator Force :)


Name: Xeadin (RL name: Zack)
Age: 19
Location: USA; Washington
Timezone: PST -10 (GMT)
Join date: April 3rd
Forum Join date: n/a
Current rank: Builder

Reason for application: Just about everytime I come on to opticraft, whether it's on IRC, via minecraft.net, or by WoM, I see grief and promotion complaints, and people shouting to each other. I always tell people to wait for an op whenever no op is on or available, and sometimes I am concerned about no ops showing up for an extended amount of time... I feel like this could be an opportunity for me to step into that empty gap and help out those who need the help. [edit] I have also been going around and helping others with construction appraisals/ cleaning up towers and unwanted constructions, and I feel that my strongest point in being an operator would be making everyone feel at home with Opticraft.

Why should I become an operator: By heart, I am somewhat of a strict enforcer-- I follow the rules to the letter, while enjoying the time i spend to help other get to where thye need to be, or to help a poor griefed soul back on their feet. I have a knack for motivating those around me, and I maintain a positive attitude and show my serious side whenever action is needed. I am always formulating creations in my head, but I will do all that I can to keep Opticraft standing on its foundries. It is the first server I have come on to, and I will stick to that premise.

Have I been temp-op before? No. I have not been a temp-op before

Extra information: I may not be on everyday, but I certainly strive to be on whenever I can. Sometimes, I may be on for the whole day, and sometimes I might come on for a few minutes, but I am generally active towards the evenings/ weekends.


That is all for now... I am working on a spawn project, but needless to say I am ready to take on the challenge and commitment of being a part of the team.

Summary of Creations: I am mainly into Spleef, but I am also expanding on other ideas as well
Worlds creations are on:
- Cathedral-themed Spleef arena on world Guest82
- Treehouse on world Guest89
- Fire Station & Creeper Sprite on Guest93
- Hillside Manor on Guest94
- Slums/ Luxury Hotel on Recruit(10)
Names of Contributing Players: I have been the only one contributing to my creations thus far.
Current Rank: Recruit
Any other details worth mentioning? Well, I do want to host some spleef games if I get some interests going, but for now... creation is at the top of my head...  ;D


Screenshots
Cathedral-themed Arena: Just a couple of pics from my first spleef arena (which I had spent ALOT of time on...)

Apparently, the world that this arena was one has been deleted... nice to have these so that I can recreate it soon :D


Treehouse: The treehouse I worked on for at least a few hours-- if not more...
There are multiple levels of the treehouse (I think, like, 7 levels if I recall) The first four are expanded from the tree itself, and the last 3 are the top of the treehouse-- the 'house' part of the sonstruction
Treehouse Exterior

All levels of the treehouse also functioned as observation points :)


Fire Station: I took the liberty to fill in some space with a good ol' fire station ;D
Fire Station exterior


Creeper Sprite: Painterly's Creeper sprite (just for the fun of it and wanted to kill time with detail)
Minecraft Creepers

"Where is your God now?"


Hillside Manor: Took me some time to make this thing... but I managed to get it done and done right.
Manor exterior (yes, I also added a lava and water moat to keep griefers away :P )


The lava moat has a sheer cliff on the other side of the manor-- preventing griefers from jumping onto the house and grief my work from above... and yes-- the whole thing was ergonomically created from that hillside-- hence why I call it the Hillside Manor ;D


Most recent creation:
I have created a fairly large construction (well, multiple constructions tied into one small area) Which took me about three six-hour sessions to complete. The hardest part was making the sand & water base, since I do not have the luxury of /Cuboid, and that's okay. I still finished it, and I hope you like it too...

Kind of reminds me of a Super Mario Galaxy world at first glance lol :D

Anyway, here are some pics of my recent creation as well... didn't want to flood the whole page with just straight pics of every aspect of my creation. I have a tendency to do too much or too little sometimes... :P

Exterior


This next pic, How you can get a sense of just how big this place is, one of the windows on the hotel is 1x3 blocks long


Slums
Here is a pic of one of the slums buildings. There are a few shops/ kitchens in that lower slums area as well


Luxury Hotel
This, I'd have to say, has some goofy construction on the outside, I do agree, but the inside is pretty luxurious.

The reception hall/ lobby sports a couple tapestries and some small greenhouses with flora to accentuate the atmosphere.


The hotel carries a few suites as well. One of them (shown here) is one of 2 Luxury Suites -- marked green; there are also 3 standard suites -- makred orange, and there is a public pool -- marked blue.


If I had more room, I would make it a lot bigger, but that was pretty much the largest plot of empty space I could find... that and someone was building something high above my creation as well, so I had to improvise a little with an awkward construction, but... it all worked out :)


I think that's about it for now. I will not be on Opticraft everyday, but I will certainly strive to be on whenever I can ;)

Summary of Creations: I am mainly into Spleef, so the bulk of my creations thus far are of Spleef arenas. I have a few beta creations-- not very major-- but are done to the best of my ability. I have also constructed a treehouse using an existing tree on a guest world
Worlds creations are on:
- Cathedral-themed Spleef arena on world Guest82
- Retro Spleef Arena on world WorldofRecruits7
- (Unfinished) Spleef arena (gonna have an outdoors-theme to it) in world Guest88
- Treehouse on world Guest89

An image of the fourth floor of the treehouse (goes round & round & round...)


The fifth and sixth floors are somewhat identical, so this is an image of the fifth floor... for scrutiny purposes:


An image of the top floor of the treehouse:


I think that is about it so far... let me know if you want my beta pics as well, or if you want me to create more on Opticraft :) I won't be on Opticraft everyday, but I will certainly be on whenever I can ;)
