we just hit the 40 hour marker for breaking and replacing blocks with rubble,

i cant even begin to describe the pain my wrist is in >.<

the good news is we should be done with all the rubble in another 24-48 hours, 3 sectors left and we did half of a few

il keep everyone updated, alpha is around the corner!

if i import midgar [1300x1300] to the map im generating it wont crash as long as i use the 64x version, i tested that a few months back, but my biggest fear is the map im generating isnt going to be big enough to scale it as big as i want

its going to be alot of fun creating it tho, ive been excited about it sense the idea was mentioned
i still have to wait another 15 hours for the map to gen

big thanks to Wakky, Kiwi, Conetopia, for the help finishing the last of the rubble today

i will be finishing up the buildings above slums, from player housing to shops.

-update-

im waitn 6 hours for worldpainter to load the newly genned zone

last night i waited for worldpainter to load the map but it decided telling me i didnt have enough ram after it got to 99%, map size is 36gigs, i have about 16gigs of ram so it should of known that ahead of time, i had a feeling it was going to error

so i ended up setting up & testing permissions as well as modifying the train station
il be finishing up that today and prob move to buildings


i will upgrade my ram asap so i can paint in the map but its going to be a month or 2

thank you _Gr for taken the time to read through our info,
i know its alot to take in but im really happy you got a chance to look over our objectives

alpha is seriously around the corner so i hope you will check it out when we go live!

were working on buildings now & setup most basic user permissions!
train station is looking really really good

i want to type more about what were working on but i gota get back to helping wakky on server >.<
il post another update between tonight and tmw with all the stuff we are doing. might even toss in some pictures if i have the time

i figured i share a picture of something ive been working on today, i have more pics coming soon

il prob have to edit some of the signs a little more but its coming along nicely, these pics are from train / metro station

i changed the blocks up in the train station, i think its the look i was aiming for

credit to MrShorteefor the textures, i did photoshop a few of them

I love your mod already and I haven't even played it! Keep up your hard work because I know this mod will be great one day. This makes the other mods I've seen look plain. Good luck with the mod and server! I can't wait to try it out!

thank you omodtcat, it means alot!
we spend more then 6 hours daily working on things & assets for the server.
we hope to step into alpha soon hope to see you there!

new decoration blocks that have been added along with 3 redstone lamps

and an 3000 additional items being coded as we speak

Good job! That's really cool.

Do you texture all those blocks?

yes and no,

They look high def too?

most were only avail in 64x64 i did resize everything to 32x32 for best results

Are you a texture artist too, Wakky?

wakky has done alot of texture mapping for most of the 3d objects, they are taken from many sources but the textures dont always display right. he then creates a color map to track what displays where. i had a picture but i cant locate it, im sure he might comment with one

most of the block textures are from various places, i felt like like midgar needed some of these blocks to look more like midgar, ive mentioned some of the names of the artists in our credits, im still putting together the rest

some of the blocks in this picture below i did Photoshop but nothing significant, just color changes to match the other blocks, the rust on the vents, the dirt/grime on the floor, the edges on some of these displayed blocks were extremely dark.

some of the blocks wakky has shown still need to be modified a bit to match better its something i do as i go along
i took photoshop class's in high school. but ive been doing Photoshop 2-3 years before i ever took a class

its been while sense ive done a status update, first id like to say thanks killerx20 for the 1.7 map, this reset ALL of our progress however this gives me a chance to redo some of the things i wasnt happy with.

while we waited on the map we did some other things...alot of other things...about 3000 things total =]
we do not own ANY of the textures. you can find the credits in the 1st post in this thread next time i do an update

Good job! That's a lot of items.
