[Enjin Archive] Builders Wanted For TimeLapse
Started by [E] OllieBaskey

Hello Everyone!

I have been designed a medieval castle for 2 months now, and i have finally finished, but i need lots and lots of builder.

You may be thinking why i need so many, so here are a few pics:

Main Thing!

This is only a few bits so leave your ideas if i should go ahead with this in the comments etc.

Thanks for your time,

Ollie
Something as big as that would have to be dug down to bedrock (and ask a Mod/Admin to bring it at an even level so you can build on top of it directly). Looking at the picture, we might have to size the wall to 3-4 units high, meaning that a lot of buildings would be small too. Not sure, yet. I do build a lot of super structures and megabuild, so I do have experience with this. I'd be interested in helping you out. Is that picture your only design aspect? If so, in order to have a lot of workers together you need to make a level by level layout of what you want. It has to be in grid format, like (stone here, dirt here, stone here, cobble staircase, etc.). Every little square needs to be color coded for what you want placed. OR, if you know of another way to get everyone on the same page go with that. <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object> Again, I'm interested in this, however I do believe that anyone who participates NEEDS to be in mumble at the time it is being built. You should also put a date of when you want to build it.
If you are supplying resources and have the castle+area sorted out, I'd be happy to help.

I have made a few medieval style buildings, look up /warp San_tani and walk forwards till your reach the castle (which I built) or go to /warp holyland - where I built a medieval style house (Closest to warp).

If like dunsjohn said, you could create a grid level by level from the floor upwards showing every single block like a proper blueprint ill be happy to help, I don't think a time lapse would be viable coz this will take days, weeks to build.

Plus if you received enough attention for people willing to help you could designate certain buildings to each player to build.

Also by creating the level by level plan you will know exactly how much materials you will need, also you could either supply everyone with the materials or you could get them to use their own materials but give them a house when the project is finished.

I think this would be the best idea, let me know via PM if this is going ahead as I'll be straight down to help

Thanks

If he has a block by block guide, detailed with block types... depending on the size it may only take a few hours to a day at max. I do mega builds solo all the time, and I have a friend o FyreUK, if you've ever heard of them. They're creative, yes. However, if he has a detailed guide, we'd be able to get resources BEFORE starting the building for a proper time-lapse.
Yeah sorry mate,

I guess if there's enough of us we could probably smash it an build within a day.

Do you know of any software or program's you can use to create a proper grid to fill in?

Didn't know if someone had made a special minecraft one so all you have to do was like select cobble at the side and click all the squares you want cobble and it'll create it for you?

Cheers
I don't know if there is one like that, lowndsy. However, I use microsoft excel. You can also use paint and turn on the grid lines. Either way, you use a color code. One sheet on excel represents one layer (usually 100+ sheets, minimum). It's a lot of work to design one, though.
