Suggestions & Requests / Generic city vehicles
« on: April 13, 2011, 04:03:46 AM »And you suggest more crap realistic cars.If somebody makes these vehicles in a bricky-looking form, I would probably use them instead, as long as there are enough of them to replace all of the "crap realistic" vehicles.
I know many people are against this but I for one would enjoy a large set of uniform-quality, generic, similar-yet-diverse city vehicles.
In particular, ones that don't currently exist (in very good quality) such as an ambulance, police vehicles, things like buses, garbage truck, limo, ice cream truck, etc.
Better example of the kind of things I'm actually hoping for
As you may or may not know, I'm making a city build with a custom terrain map, which I will use primarily for videos. You may have noticed the map casually hanging out in the background of my small commercial jet suggestion, or seen me rant about my ambitions if you join my server. The city will be pretty darn big because I want a very flexible environment to work with. Part of that flexibility is having a very diverse set of city vehicles.
Here are some good examples of what I'm looking for:
The blockstang is kind of not.. very... good. It looks kind of strange and handles even stranger, rocking back and forth all over the place.
Now, besides this are things like the four-pack thing of motorcycles what's-his-face did and a couple things like the roadster and oldtimer.
But Eksi, that seems pret--
NO
I NEED MORE, MORE!
The level of variety in vehicles to satisfy my vehicular diversity special interest would be something along the lines of this.
But of course that would be a ton of work. But so will be the city. If you actually did that I would advertise your greatness every time I ever use them. Any video using them will have your name fly across the screen every twelve seconds, followed by a string of thank yous. I will go into minecraft and build a hundred-meter statue dedicated to you built with the diamonds I gathered without cheating. On hard mode.
No I won't. But you will be great person and further encourage big-project-size videos from me. Maybe even ones with plots. That's reward enough.. right?....
Anyway I just want to make it clear that well-made generic vehicles

Suggestions & Requests / Small commercial jet (Lovechild of the Private Jet and the C-130)
« on: April 13, 2011, 03:27:54 AM »
I need a small commercial jet which looks fairly polished and modern like the private jet, and which handles like the C-130.
Why not use one of these two vehicles?
Well, phydeoux's private jet looks nice, and the handling is just about perfect for take-off and flight...
...but when it comes to landing you basically have two options:
Stratofortress' C-130 Hercules, on the other hand, lands like a boss.
But, in other aspects....
In words:
Now I need some beautiful hero to combine those pros, simultaneously eliminating the cons, and give me a small commercial jet. And I'd rather you actually make a new vehicle, not just mash the C-130's properties into the private jet's model, but I suppose I wouldn't complain if that worked out nicely.
Another huge plus would be to add working retractable landing gear, if at all possible.

| PROS | CONS | |
| Private Jet | Looks nice, modern, polished inside and out | Cannot be landed without looking like stuff |
| C-130 | Can make realistic, satisfying landings | Has that half century old military transport look, claustrophobic interior, loving LOUD |

Eksi: I don't know
Eksi: react to my avatar
Skip³: nah I'm good
The Doodler: you draw really well
Eksi: ...thanks
As the day wore on, more people were prepared for encountering April 1st shenanigans, didn't care if I was a furry or not, or were actually under the impression that I was a furry already.
I drew this from scratch (no pun intended) with Paint.NET and my mouse (no pun intended) for April Fools. It actually turned out much better than I expected it to.
But if I drew this myself I guess that technically makes me a furry, doesn't it...?
Well, whatever. Hope I didn't give you a heart attack on the way into the thread.

Mapping Help / Visual issues with non-looping terrain and water
« on: March 29, 2011, 04:22:50 AM »
I'm making a map involving islands. I don't want the terrain to repeat, because the build I'm planning takes up one group of islands and I don't want mysterious uncharted islands to be visible on the horizon, especially as part of the build will involve flying and it will be easy to see those areas. However, when I choose not to repeat the terrain, I run into a few problems.
The terrain cuts off at the edge and makes a visible line in the water. I'd like to know if there's a way for the terrain to continue looping but for it to be flat beyond this area.
Also, outside that area, the water seems to act as though the terrain is still being looped, causing a shadowy outline and visually missing area in the middle of where the island would be.
When I set the water to not repeat, the second problem is eliminated but a new one is introduced. It creates this unpleasant change in color at the edge of the map (not to mention the edge of the terrain is still clearly visible)
When I also disable UseDepthMask, the third problem is also taken care of but the first one is even more noticeable than before, and the water becomes very bright and mirror-like, and seems to be missing its texture.
I really need to find a way to get past these without reinstating looping terrain. Any help would be appreciated.

Off Topic / Youtube security is bullstuff.
« on: February 14, 2011, 07:05:38 PM »
I went on Youtube today and was asked about linking to a Google account. Same deal as usual, just clicked the "skip this for n--
There was no "skip this for now" option.
I click the Youtube logo in the corner.
Same page.
So, I try to link it to my e-mail address. I don't want to make a new e-mail because everything's tied in with this one and I always use Youtube's notification e-mails.
I couldn't do this, however, as I had already linked it to something else, a channel I thought about using a long time ago. It had another stuffty outdated name, so I do not want to use it. So, I go to that channel, and go to change the associated e-

Your Google Account's primary email address is a Gmail address, and thus can't currently be changed.
loving delightful.
My options:
Use current badly-named channel with a dummy e-mail
Use current e-mail with vacant and badly-named channel
Forget all, make a new channel and a new e-mail, both with better names.
Most likely I will be going with option 3.
Youtube doesn't want dumbasses to lose control of their channels, so they lock you out of them.
Some day you will need a Google account to boot up your computer.
I like Google, but what the forget.

This is mostly a test of panning and volume control, but also shows gameplay of Blur and is somewhat silly.
Also, 1080p.
