Author Topic: Hey guys, I would appreciate some help on an upcoming build (server is down)  (Read 2511 times)

Some of you may remember my older servers, where I hosted overly complex evented TDMs, edited add-ons, etc.  Well, now that I've installed Blockland on the new computer, I've been trying to get another build together.

Basically, I'm making a mall.  Not for shopping, but it's going to be another TDM.  I really want to make a quality map to play on, and it seems that those are few and far between.

I started a day ago, and I'm working through the main build, but here's what I think I need help on:

The storefronts.  A quick google search shows what I'm talking about:






I'm going to host a contest of sorts, throughout most of this week, where you can come and build a store like the above on a 16x32 baseplate.

I hope to be hosting later today, but I don't know the exact time.

Here are the rules:

1. Must be on an available 16x32 baseplate.  It cannot protrude overtop of the boundaries, either.  Basically, I want to have these things be modular, able to place them anywhere I have a 16x32 space.
2. Must be at least 8 blocks high.  Nobody likes buildings that are as high as the player.
3. Must have walls on all sides, it has to be an enclosed structure.  You are building a store that (if it wasn't a TDM) people would be going into and shopping in.
4. Can only have entrances on one wide side.
5. Only one floor, please.  Can have a raised platform in one part of the store, though.

I will post when the server goes up.
Server is down.
Server name is "Mall Storefront Building Contest".

Please come in and build when it does, and the good ones will be placed in the final build, as stores in the mall.  Needless to say, I hope to get a lot of entries.

If you are interested in participating, please post here saying so, so that I have a good idea of how many people will be coming.

Thanks in advance.

16x32 is a bit small for a store.

Sounds good. I'd help.

Might come if I see the server up.

I gave up.

You were doing well.  At least give it another go.

I wanna help. :D Mage can build a bookstore. :D


Looks cool, I will join.

Whoever is making the Apple store BETTER make it look good. Otherwise I'll beat you down with an ipad or something.  :D

You'll have to come in and do it yourself, as the guy who is making it now is a newbie and is using 1x2s to make the walls and windows to make the rest.  I'm just letting him build it for fun, I won't be using it in the final mall.
