So, first off, I'd like to welcome you all to the new topic, and the new series! As far as I could tell, the previous Age of Steel died (mostly because of the new forum, but I'm not complaining here, I like the organization). Now, let me address what this series is/hopes to accomplish.
SYNOPSIS
Imagine you wake up in an ocean, with no idea who you are or why there's a police box in front of you. Well, that's the situation John Smith (also known as The Doctor) faces. With no recollection of his past lives, the newly regenerated Doctor must work to stop evil forces and gain his memory back before it's too late.

If applying to be in the writing team, do you know what Doctor Who is, and if so, how many episodes have you watched, and do you feel you know how the Doctor is? Are you good with receiving/giving constructive criticism towards your writing/someone else's writing? A sample of your writing via PM is required to even have your application remotely considered.
If applying to be a graphic artist, do you have experience in graphic/digital design, and do you have any samples of your work?
SUPPORT
Do you not have the time to apply for the series, but still want to support it? No problem! Just put one of these support banners in your signature! Copy and paste the code provided in the spoilers below the banners into the 'Change Signature' section when you edit your profile, and, voila! A shiny banner to support our series! Need some new banners and someone to teach me how to add the code tags in since I don't know how to.

EPISODE USAGE
Late edit: Please do note that these rules do not apply right now, as I feel these rules are too strict currently. When new rules are made, they will most likely apply.
If you're involved with the project and really want to post the videos onto your channel, there's some rules and requirements that must be met before you are allowed to.
The rules: DO NOT claim the video as your own. DO NOT monetize the video. DO link back to the TAoS YouTube channel, with this in the description:
The requirements:
The video MUST have over 500 views.
You MUST link back to the TAoS channel.
You MUST have the licensing statement in the description.
Failure to comply with these requirements WILL lead to the flagging of your video for theft or what applies in the circumstances. LEGAL THINGS
For the creative commons license, please visit: http://www.taoslegal.tumblr.com/
The password is taoscreativecommons.
(Will apply post-production and after the release of three episodes with a total of 10,000 views)
Have a question regarding the series, or maybe even a suggestion? Send a (non-spam) email to [email protected]. I have it synced to my phone, so whenever I'm not online I'll know that you emailed me. I also am following the page on my business email, which I won't give out unless absolutely necessary, so I'll also know if you've commented on the forum page. Don't feel like emailing me? Just send me a PM on twitter, facebook, Google+, or on YouTube, and I'll respond ASAP.
MEETING/FILMING SCHEDULE Also known as when Blade is available
I'm sure some of you who read this have questions in mind, so I've created a Q&A page that may address some of your concerns towards this project: Link Removed
Concerning the role of The Doctor:
I AM allowing others to audition for the role of the 12th, as I was the one who was going to be the 12th, but felt it would be unfair to not let others apply. If you want to audition, post your audition on SoundCloud and PM me the link, and I'll post who the 12th Doctor ends up being in a post, as well as modify the OP to add in their name.
What about the script?
Seeing as how this is a continuation of the old Age of Steel, a script for episode one already exists; I just need assistance for episodes 2-13.
Hello, I was just wondering if you could make this character's armor. I don't need a face, just the armor, because I'm going to edit in my own character's face. Thanks in advance.
I have all of the directories created and a data folder in each one of them, and the minecraft.exe is in the bin folder. It's not a matter of permission from what I can tell, as I'm the computer administrator since I'm the only user on it. I still read through the opening post and made directories exactly like yours, using the names A and B for each one, and when I launched A I still recieved the same error as before, and I copied + pasted the code to be exact with the batch file. I've tried both lines with/without quotes and I still get the same error.
You have to leave out the brackets. I think that you bat files put everything in C:\minecraft. The brackets are special characters in batch files. See my examples.
I left out the brackets and I get this as a result:
Failed to launch
A fatal error occured(2): The working directory could not be created c:\minecraft\vanilla\data\.minecraft
First of all, I wanted to say thank you for the tutorial, I've created four profiles and a program to easily launch them all, but I've run into an issue with my .bat files. I decided to help distinguish which one was which in case I forgot what .bat I launched, so I made a new world in my third .bat file and dug down 3 blocks and covered the block above me, so I was trapped in a hole. To make sure that the other .bat files were working, I went into the singlelplayer menu for each one and they all displayed the same save. None of the data folders have the .minecraft in them, so I'm curious, does this create a brand-new .minecraft like Minecraft Profile Manager does (from what I gather from your reply to SiNGER, it does)? If so, where did I go wrong in the coding, as I copied and pasted your code in the first post and modified it for my C drive's minecraft folder. Here's one of my .bat files as an example, and all of them are the same thing but with different directories.
set APPDATA= c:\minecraft\<Super_Hostile>\data
c:\minecraft\bin\minecraft.exe
exit
I also have a quick screencap of all of the data folders, excluding my fourth directory:
Okay guys, just thought I'd post some updates on this project, seeing as how the last post was made in May (I do apologize for the bump and the double post). First off, I'm accepting applications for the writing team now. I feel 3 people isn't enough to get a whole series done, so I've set up an application form for the writing team. Secondly, I'm doing open auditions for the role of The Doctor. I feel he would be better with a British accent, but only time will tell. Lastly, I am going to work on the town of Rexic finally. I've been looking at other castle builds to get a generalized idea for what I should do, so hopefully it'll turn out nice. As for Episode 2, I'm throwing around/rejecting ideas. I'm still going to introduce the antagonist for the series. I'm also going to throw around some test shots for the first episode to organize what I feel the scenes should look like.
Also, here's the download link for the texturepack, I'd post screenshots but I don't have any. This IS a legitimate texturepack, I wouldn't send you guys a virus.
Yes, please continue. I check on this at least once a week, and I'm completely sure that this will work well as long as we have a smooth way of recording, a set story that keeps to the point. I'd do a head count, and make one those 'Post/reply in a week' things to see who still is apart of this and who is ready. I would like it if you let me write some side stories eg in the show all those single adventures like 'Tooth & Claw', 'The Lazarus Experiment' etc. I think I understand his personality well enough to do something like that. I wont put ANY original Dr Who monsters/planets in it and I'll keep all the quotes original. I might just start anyway for the fun of it, but it would be amazing if I'm good enough for your standards. (I now know how to write in script format, rather than writing a story)
Grue, that would be amazing. As all of my attempts to find a good idea for Episode 2 have failed quite miserably, any other writer on the team besides the co-writer we already have would be amazing. Go ahead with that, and maybe we can get 13 episodes done by the end of next year!
When are you most available for filming/planning? Mostly weekends or from about 6 till 10 on a weekday.
What is your age? I am currently 18.
If applying to be in the legal team, around how much time do you spend on the computer, and are you willing to look for videos that infringe our Creative Commons license? I spend 90 percent of my time on the computer, and I would gladly sit and look through videos. Also would it be possible to ask what else you are looking for, PM me and we can discuss it i come with another guy we are a team. Again if you PM me we can discuss it in greater detail. Thank you.
Someone actually applied to the legal team... Honestly, I thought nobody even noticed that position was there in the first place. You're accepted, and I'll PM you shortly about all of the details of the legal department.
I'd like for the 'Level Up!' mod to be updated if that would be okay by you, the mod creator hasn't been on since December 18th, so it's unlikely that he'll update the mod. Link to the mod: http://www.minecraft...re-update-v152/
I am going to update this soon because it has already been requested.
Ah, my bad, didn't notice that.
I have a mod request then, as it's already been requested; I'm not sure if it can be done or not, but all of the details are in this topic here: Link Removed
When are you most available for filming/planning? Everyday except tuesday and thursday.
What is your age? I´m 17 years old . I become 18 on the 07.02.2013
If it is possible i want to be a Human who got kidnapped by the Aliens. The Aliens are doing experiments with him and after they are done with him they delete his mind.
Back at Earth he don´t know who he is or where he is. While he tries to remember he discover that he has supernatural skills.
Sometimes he has Flashbacks and gets crazy.
What would be the best method of contact?(Email, skype): Skype - Tobias.k_
Oh man, I am SO sorry that I didn't respond earlier, I haven't been on this forum page in ages. Anyways, your builds look way better than what I can accomplish, so, welcome to the team!
Anyways, onto a different topic;
I'm pondering whether or not to either give up on this project or hand it off to someone (probably the co-writer of the series). I haven't lost interest, I just can't seem to find a good way to continue the plot from where it started, and I'm procrastinating so much I feel it would be bad for me to be at the helm of this project. The one thing I'll do in the meantime, and I keep saying this but don't really do it (though I have made the terrain.png), is make the texture pack. So, I leave the decision to you guys:
-Keep trying to work on the series
-Give up and pass it on to someone else
-Give it up entirely and let the project die
I'll post the GUI when I'm done updating it for 1.1, which was the only major GUI change. Once that's done I'll start on editing the default terrain to my liking, and edit it after you all say what you don't like and do like.
I would code it if I knew how to code. I know for the whole 'dye the redstone' aspect, you could copy the coding for coloring wool and combine redstone properties, but the gunpowder thing is a different thing entirely.
Way late edit: 1.4.2 MAKES THIS IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPREHEND.
As all people that use redstone know, it can be frustrating when you have something you're trying to wire and it connects to another unrelated wire, which can mess up your whole entire build. What this mod would do is allow for redstone to be dyed, and the resulting Powder would act like redstone, but each wire will be unique and not connect to a different colored wire. To allow for coloring though, you need to place redstone and bonemeal together to remove the coloring, like removing colors from wool. The items would be called Powder, and with this Powder, you craft it with all dyes except light gray dye (and red dye, as you would just get redstone), as the second part would explain why.
Gunpowder already looks like light gray Powder, so the second part of my request would be for gunpowder to have the ability to be placed, but unlike redstone, doesn't power blocks. You can only light it on fire, and the fire travels down the line of powder until it reaches whatever block you want burned/detonated. This allows for a longer time for TNT detonation if you don't have redstone.
This is a very complex idea, I know, but it's an idea I've had floating around in my mind for some time, and I was hoping that someone could make the mod for me. Also, I'd like to request it be made for 1.2.3 as well as 1.2.4, and be ModLoader compatible, as I use Yogbox for 1.2.3 and play on 1.2.4
Click the spoiler for TL;DR version.
Redstone can be dyed like wool, except you have to remove the color first. Gunpowder can be placed.
Yeah, sorry about being so inactive with this project. I haven't scrapped it, I'm just doing other writing projects right now. But come summertime I'll be able to pick this up more and finish the next few episode's scripts.
As for filming: I think it's pretty safe to say that no filming will be taking place until summer. Builders, feel free to began making a few buildings in singleplayer worlds to ensure best work by summer, though really, nothing will be built until our server is stable and our script is in final stages.Episode 1's filming probably will be done around summer, but 2-13 will be finished around the holiday season if I had to guess. Don't hold me to that though.
As for the script: Blade, this one is you. I'm not sure if you've decided to scrap the script or not, but I will not be able to partake until after AP tests in May. I would suggest to perhaps just brainstorm, write up a bit if you feel inspired. I feel it will be easier to write without the pressure of getting it done so quickly. "But come summertime I'll be able to pick this up more and finish the next few episode's scripts." That about sums that up.
As for filming: If we have a texture pack ready, we should get that to our builders, since it's pretty obvious that although it may look awesome on your texture pack, doesn't mean it will do so in the videos. If our custom isn't ready, what are we basing it off of? Also, shader mod recently got an update, I. Like. It. Mostly because the sky isn't all blown out like it was before. And I assume filmers will use optifine?Yeah, there's a texture pack I'm working on right now, mostly a GUI update. It'll be 16x16, which doesn't look too fancy, but regardless, it should work well enough. And shader breaks my game D: Also, yes, filmers can use optifine or Minema. Either one works.
As for scoring: I have found quite a few places with royalty free music to use. Pm me if you would like a small list. Will do.
As for our weekly meetings: If we continue to have server problems, I suggest we find a medium sized server that has good up time, no whitelist and some building rights and we can all get on skype and go from there. I have a server in mind, but it might be a bit challenging to talk in private unless we use Vent or Skype.
Also, the Hunger Games was an amazing movie, it kept true to the books.
