Talk:Village/Structure (old)/Blueprints

Purpose of this "project"
Projects on this wiki are supposed to contribute to the wiki, whereas your project only shows schematics. Would you mind moving your project to the tutorials space instead? Also, please keep all pages related to this page as subpages instead of seperate ones in the mainspace.--Quatroking -  MCWiki Administrator  16:35, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

I have it under projects because I thought that the projects page was ment to also include pages that are being constantly worked on or needhelp being made. I am sorry, I am only 14 and I am really the only one working on this page. No one else has really edited this page besides me. Not only that, but I just started this week and am still learning all the commands and how things should be formatted, etc. Unknown Blake 02:17, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

pictures and links
first off instead of individual floor plans, create the bottom floor (as in the floor with the main stuff) and then just picture the rest if you saw my discussion you saw i summarized in one grid everything in a small hut by marking key objects on the walls and what floor would be visable if you remove the roof

also, you could link numbers in the grid almost like the sources in upcoming features to link to notes about the building, such as replacing that dirt with a 1, then have that 1 link to a seperate section about tables

to save on picture uploads, i set my pictures to be (whatever size needed) by 225 pixels, perhaps the image needs to be bigger for bigger buildings but this is probably the lowest you can go before pictures start getting blurry at the small postage stamp sizes you have set

1. That wouldn't work because there could be multiple key parts stacked and also they may mistake the block under it as something else

2. I have no idea what you just said besides the part about a link.

3. I don't know what changing the size has to do with picture uploads because with a few cqmands you can change the size of your picture and there isn't another upload.

village floors
it looks like village buildings have a cobblestone base for the house its generally 0-1 high from the surrounding ground around the building, and is used to translate a house high enough to the path while looking ok

because of this, i feel pictures should be taken with the base height of 1 (cobblestone bottom of houses should be 1 high)

To get this straight, we should take pictures of the building while at ground level with it? Unknown Blake 02:22, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

not what i meant, those should be taken from center or if theres need be another height, also, f1 to remove your gui while your screenshotting

what i meant is the first floor of villages, if a building is too low then what happens is it adds another cobblestone layer to the bottom of the building

with all buildings, take a picture with the bottom floor showing, not the excess cobblestone layers, so if you took a picture of a small hut, then there should be only 1 layer of cobblestone showing because that is floor 1

also, sorry about straining about picture taking, but pictures look 200% better and easier to replicate if you standardize the resolution and key parts of the picture.

in response to 1., its both these things combined that will be able to show the building plans without creating seperate floor plans, my image is just used to express the inside of the building mainly, and pictures can express the outside of the building, its meant to be a summary, something you can understand when you look at the pictures we will be creating as well, and be able to remove some of the server-filling block tables you have been using

in response to 3., i like to reduce the data/strain i do to websites i like, uploading images in lower resolution will save some precious kb/mb while creating this page.

v2 and v3
version 3 is just a variation of v2, unlike a totally different one like v1 and v2, it does not matter that much but it seems more logical for me to mash v3 and v2 together

also, the table summary i made only applies to v2 and v3, not v1, probably should move it over

edit:moved it over myself since it was bugging me Uh20 04:17, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

l-shaped video complete!
its the basic no talk video, its recorded in 4 sections for the frame, decor, roof part 1,and roof part 2 it has basic fade in/fade out transitions and a few are done partially into the night transition, but its certainly good enough to show somebody how to make this (probably the hardest to make) building

just tell me who to send it to, or what type i need to format it in (currently osp), im assuming this is going to be youtube based right? Uh20 06:11, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Really it is good as is but if you could make the link bigger because it is easy to miss the little 1 in the corner of the word. Also I moved a lot of it around. Its very nice. I thought of the use the sign to speak to the watchers as you did it. Lol. Unknown Blake 03:28, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
