First thing I want to say is thank you for your wonderful plugins, they really add a lot to an already fun game.
Well then, on to business.
Seeing as I really appreciate your plugins and I got some programming experience, I'm planning on contributing some chips (if you'll accept outside input) once you release VoxelTronix. However, before I start delving into the bukkit API I wanted to ask if there are any plans to port the whole caboodle over to the upcoming native API.
With best regards,
rimweasel
We definitely appreciate your interest :biggrin.gif:
The best thing to do is hop on our ventrilo, and speak with the VoxelTronix developers there (Przerwap and Gavjenks). You could also send them a PM on the forums, or find them in-game, but it's easiest to talk through vent.
Now I'm really confused and don't know what to build...
Should i build a skyscraper, inn/lodge, dome shaped building, outpost, barracks or something else?
I thought your idea for a natural gas plant was very original, although it could be quite challenging. Still, I say go for it ^^
I never knew you also created stuff! What do you got? as in Keyboard and/or Programs?
Aww yeah
As I mentioned earlier, Im using protools right now for a DAW. I also have a few plugins that I managed to convert over like sylenth and vanguard that are really powerful synths, and protools has some good plugins for realistic instrument samples (lifelike piano, great percussion, etc)
Outside of the computer I have an Alesis Micron synth that doesn't get used that often :tongue.gif:, a portable casio keyboard that I use as a midi controller, a pair of KRK rockit 5 monitors, an M-audio fasttrack pro interface, and an MXL V63M condenser mic (which I also use for vent :tongue.gif:)
It's quite an impressive set up, if I do say so myself.
We're all working pretty hard on the Adventure Map! So far what has come into discussion for this project is a Environment Enhancement Pack which will contain Ambient spacy themed music fitting the surroundings and story, footsteps sounding correctly (ex: Some wool blocks look like metal, So when ya walk on it you'd expect it to sound like metal!). So far I have created 3 different ambient tracks, and I would like to share them with all of you!
Make sure to leave some thoughts of the tracks, The more I know what your tastes are the better the Adventure map will feel with the EEP!(Environment Enhancement Pack)
These are awesome, sorrow. They definitely capture the feel of DEEP, empty space :tongue.gif:
When I get back to the studio Ill start working on some ambient tracks for deep space and Pangea, it's something I've been meaning to get around too.
You want someone who doesn't give you reviews that are critical to helping your project - or reviews that say nothing but nice things about your project - but it has to be an admin. And it shouldn't be Kupo because I provide nothing but "unhelpful" advice (aka - telling you what to fix).
You've shot your own foot as I reply a lot to people on here, have fun waiting in queues and getting an in game review now.
That said, I'll give you a quick review... I hope you appreciate it even though I'm not an admin.

So here is my fourth submission, with added detail, cover-ups, and finishes
To start, many of your added "details" seem more like splatterings to take away from the barrage of gold blocks. Some of them make sense, such as the pipes spewing fire on the top, and the gears above the wheels are actually pretty ingenious. However, they don't make up for the random painting on the side (a window, I think?), and the odd-shaped wings, where each is completely different. Ladders on the side and edges was a good idea, but you overdid it-- there are ladders everywhere! any block is only good in moderation :tongue.gif:
Overall, it's a fun idea but just not something that would fit in on the server. I highly, HIGHLY suggest that you (and any guest ever) head to our new website (:biggrin.gif:) www.thevoxelbox.com and take a look at the screenshots and videos there, to get a feel for the kind of builds we have on the map.
Admins are incredibly busy, it is very difficult to take the time to come here and look at your screenshots of your builds. Just letting you know, so many people are trying to connect and get whitelisted. PLEASE be patient with all of our staff. Your time will come.

I also find the forums a very poorly formatted area to submit builds, with the constant stream of posts and reposts. If anyone would like a build review from me, feel free to send it in a PM.
Wait.. it should be 'from minecraft' not 'into minecraft'. That town already exist, THEN I create the art. It's airsoftinva's town anyway. The only thing I show here that was digital painting first and then implementation is the dragon canyon. But still, thanks! :smile.gif:
Ahhhh I see. Ive been behind lately as too what towns are being built and founded... Didn't know that one existed. Either way, it's really great artwork :tongue.gif: and I look forward to dragon canyon ^^
OK, I've had a plan for a while that I've been toying about with, its an idea i think could work as a community project. The plan I've had is a town in a mountainous region, I plan for it to be behind a large fortified wall in an eastern style like this I'm thinking lemuria so we can get the scale of the mountains but apart from that I don't have a particular location but I am open to suggestions
Lhasa! I would definitely commend you for building that :wink.gif:
I can't believe everyone overlooked this :ohmy.gif:
Rose, not only is the artwork amazing, but the way it's perfectly copied into minecraft is pretty damn awesome.
1)Passport
2)Give me one good reason why it is ridiculous...
I need to trust my moderators.. If you want somebody who griefs as a mod.. Go ahead.. Buy they are not screwing me...
And as you know.. I need people with life time experience..
Needing a moderator with experience is one thing, and completely understandable. Requiring someone to be over 16 is understandable as well, but having them take a picture of their passport is waaaay over the line. Your passport holds a great deal of your personal information on one page-- it's valuable and confidential. I'm sure you have good intentions, but I would NEVER trust anyone online with a copy of my passport, let alone my DOB. Just go by trust and if they act immature or sound young on vent, demote them.
It sounds like you're struggling for mods and requiring a passport copy isnt going to help you find any.
EDIT: also, just because someone is over 16 doesn't mean they won't greif.
TBH I find that hosting your own server, although much more difficult, is better in the long run. Having issues with your server that are completely out of your control, when you're still paying for a server that isnt working right, kind blows =S
Anyways, I look forward to playing whenever the server goes live, be it webhosted or not.
- Why are you interested in the 4 Kingdoms server?
The Voxel Toolset grabbed my attention. I think it would be fun to see them in action and do some RP :wink.gif: - If you led a faction, how would you seek to gain control of the other factions?
Through cunning, long-term strategy. Making plans for huge ambushs and secret assaults. - How would you rule? And why?
I would be a laid-back ruler, giving people the freedom to what they like... within my limits :tongue.gif:

Builder. For sure. I also like to strategize.
I get a lot of questions where I get my inspiration; below is the secret. A Lego forum for everything you can imagine with people posting pictures in nearly every thread. Find your favorite genre and start building! I first started imitating the Lego images I saw and it later helped me to build stuff from my own imagination. Enjoy!
