Hydlaa made with minecraft blocks [done]

[LigH]

You are pretty crazy ... first Quake, then Minecraft ... how about Sauerbraten next time?

[Elvicat]

I've yet to finnish quakeshift2, doubt i'll get around to it in the near future

And i've never playd sauerbraten.

[miadon]

you are crazy


on the plus side it means no loading time between map sections of hydlaa and beyond

[Elvicat]

So i got so far today that a new image is needed



Thought this time i used mcedit to copy the buildings then normal mc to adjust.
The only things that hasn't been done today are the plaza itself and 3 houses on the right side.

Next project: Mass Effect using Crystal Space. BEHOLD!

Ok so i've come to the conclusion that this version of hydlaa needs street lights if for nothing else than keep the badies from spawning but i'm having trouble figuring out a model that would fit hydlaa and not look too out of place, atm i'm using a lot of torches and it's starting to look weird...

What i'm asking is this, could you guys provide me with some sort of light fixture that would fit hydlaa other than torches, any ideas will be considered and you'd had a hand in making minecraft hydlaa a beter place

The light sources i have at my disposal are:

Torches
Red stone torches - hardly gives off any light
Glowstone blocks - these have a beter light radious than the 2 previous
Red stone lamps - same radious as above but almost looks like a lantern
and last one is jack 'o' lanterns, slightly less light, depends on what face of the block emits light

edit
forgot to mention these:
netherak burns forever when litten
lava
fire

these however are a litle dangerous cause the buildings are mostly made of wood and wool 

[Cairn]

Maybe a few strategically placed glowstone blocks on the corners of buildings?

[Caraick]

I'd go with the glowstone for buildings, and a few torches placed atop poles around the city.  The NPC villages generate lamp-posts of some kind, which look fairly medieval. Might fit well. Don't forget that burning furnaces also give off light. And they're also a placeable block. Could use those for Harn's.

I'm not too keepn on glowstone, they seem out of place, redstone lamps work fine as they look like lanterns, totaly forgot about the simple pole and torch, already used that type of furnace at harns + 2 with netherrack

[Caraick]

Heh. Netherrack looks a little too...hellish for my construction tastes  I'd stick with the wooden stick/block with torches. Classy and medieval. 

[Aramara Meibi]

but netherbricks are awesome

[Caraick]

This is true.  And also, @Elvi, a cleaner way to light up glowstone lamps is to just stick a level on them, and flip it on.  Eliminates the need to drop redstone torches everywhere, which don't really fit the mood 

[Elvicat]

I found a nice litle way to light up some of the plaza, lava in holes in the ground and a glass block on top.

On another note, this is how much of east hydlaa i've done in 2 days.

top down


and a litle lower

[Elvicat]

This time i bring images of the winch, note not fully done but meeh

The winch is so big so i made 4 images instead


Here you can actually see how low down the winch area is, the blue is actually level 0, if you went and jumped in there you'd die almost instantly, the house itself is on level 40.

Hot demn, Elvi, hot demn.
