i sir accept your challenge. if you relocate that resturaunt for me, ill get started on the ground work. now as for the structure, what are we looking for?
huge front "lawn"?
mayor room?
shoot me some requirements
IMO the front lawn is purely aesthetic, so whatever you choose, it's fine. A lawn is not necessary but gives a nice look. Your call!
Mayor room sounds good :smile.gif:
PS: 90% on the save.... it's a tough process.... first I need to explore an old save so that I can use the chunks in MCEDIT... then select the exact area that will be imported, export it... enter the new save, import (huge selections) and place exactly where it needs to be placed, otherwise any NUDGE operation takes 3 or 4 minutes to be completed (and theres no useful visual reference in the selection) :S
Right now I'm nudging an area south of the stadium, after it's completed I'll import the last section (of 7 selections I've made) that will go west of the metal bridge.
Worst part is: if you make a mistake, the undo operation takes the same time (3 or 4 minutes).
6 apartments are now open for rent in Peirce Tower. I also added a lovely crane on top. Future plans are for 3 more floors, and 3 themed luxury Condos. These will feature even tighter security than the 6 apartments :wink.gif: I will be claiming the top one.
Security Features - - - Introducing the LD 500 Combo Lock
All the doors have the combos punched, and the lock open. The above image is for the odd apartment numbers. (i.e. 301, 401, 501) For the even number apartments, the process is exactly mirrored. The Combo is 1 - 5 - 6 - 4. If you press button #3, then it will trigger built in guessing security, and reset the locks. When you go into your room you will likely want to flip the lock. If the lock is flipped nobody will get in or out even if they punch the combo. On your way out of the room you will likely want to reset the combo by pressing button #3.
Hopefully this makes some sense haha. On the even numbered rooms everything is once again exactly mirrored. Looking at it the same way as in the picture, the combo would be 3 - 5 - 4 - 6. The reset button would be #1.
If you would like a room, please PM me. Its not an absolute must, but I would appreciate it. You can do whatever you want to the apartments, they look pretty generic right now. You can even change the wall floor, and ceiling materials, just don't destroy any wiring or you might have a tough time getting out :smile.gif:
Sorry lots of info :blink.gif:
Hope you guys like it - - - Lord_Drailmon
alright status update because im off to bed,
the structure is complete, now is the task of glazing, carpet, lighting , formation of rooms, and last but not least landscaping, i am predicting two more days before we see a somewhat finish product, and also with FCDT major project coming up, we will see, i will try and aim for two days though, i guarantee you will love it when its done... lol :unsure.gif:
EDIT:
bad news... it will take at least more 5 or 6 hours to end... so please, build in the last save, for when the file is ready.
:sad.gif:
No problem, I'm just building WTC4 now, and will add some parts of the airport to my save :smile.gif:
remember to rent out office floors!
BTW:All industrial district builders, the 'company' you are working on can have offices in the financial center, I think that's how it works in real life as well :smile.gif:
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I'm building Manhattan (Phase 1 complete)Check it out!
I shall work on the area under both side of the Brooklyn bridge for the water-front decoration. I will add in some benches, streetlight, small pier, sewer exits to sea...
I would not be occupy the save file (as always, I am slow in making stuff) so please help me to MCEdit in the stuff later.
that glass building is the upcoming WTC3 which I'm making. Right now it's only a 'skeleton' since my building style is outside-in.
The building right of WTC3 is the newly completed WTC4, which I finished in a record 1.5 hours :smile.gif:.
That means that we have WTCs 1,2,3,4 and 7! WTC2 was made by bmwplz, a great design. And we will be having a major joint project coming up soon :wink.gif:.
It will completely finish the WTC project and hopefully make this the permanent center of the financial district.
WOW! kantk2010 Stuff is looking awesome. The financial district is really great, I was just looking around. I need some office space for a paper producing company. I am going to have a plant in the industrial district. Where would be a good place for a big office?

Well, you can rent 4-5 floors in any of the WTC towers, and furnish it as you like :smile.gif:. It's up to you!

-Add the latest World Trade Center buildings
-Add one runway to start the airport-no building yet. I'm having serious OCD issues with it :tongue.gif:
-Relocate some of my other buildings elsewhere.
Also, I'll be making a spreadsheet where people can apply for floor space in my offices. Then, I can add their name, or anyone with the save can add their name, to the floors they want. That way, you don't have to wait for your save to add your name.
You guys are just fantastic!!! Every building is better looking than the other!!
I could never imagine that such skilled people would work so hard on this project.
Well, I could never imagine that the project would go this far! Thank you all!! :smile.gif:

I've always found it hard to be motivated to continue building, but this came along and is perfect, because now I'm responsible for maintaining my part of the city and making it better, giving me some motivation and purpose to Minecraft.
So thanks to this I've been able to continue building and continue playing minecraft :smile.gif:

I'm glad to know! That is the good thing about building as a group, instead of alone.
Since this project started, I've always praised/criticized everything made... now it's going so fast that I hardly have the time to do so.
The amount of things made in the last two pages:
Carpark by Hadies243 : Looking great, and efficient!
GenieOoze's genetic engineering building... lol so creative and good looking!
Peirce tower... is getting big!! I have to furnish my office there!
Creeper network tower - gorgeous hahahaha People watch the Creeper team playing in the Creeper channel!
Upflapjack (already said how fantastic it is)
Bkdiesel industry - Looking nice, and very similar to the reference!!
Tman1733 nuclear reactor - great as well!!! But we need to know if Hadies doesn't have built his own for his power plant.
bmwplz city hall - can't wait to see the final version!!!
And kantk2010 WTC towers, amazing as usual!! :biggrin.gif:
Unfortunately my college work will keep me from making any major buildings until summer.
PS. here is a sneak peek of minehattans city hall...
hope you like it so far :smile.gif:
....WINNING!!

P.S. I like the TV tower :smile.gif:
I make mod videos! Ask me and I'll make one for you!
Har Har, there are different spellings, and in this case the family name is spelled "Peirce"

the file is now 20mb of size, instead of 8... but we have plenty of space to grow in every direction!!
SAVE:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26445640/mine/Minehattan52.zip
(and as I already answered, we need that original landscape to grow according to it's lakes and coasts and biomes. No flat map will make it realistic)
What I plan to do
-Add the latest World Trade Center buildings
-Add one runway to start the airport-no building yet. I'm having serious OCD issues with it :tongue.gif:
-Relocate some of my other buildings elsewhere.
Also, I'll be making a spreadsheet where people can apply for floor space in my offices. Then, I can add their name, or anyone with the save can add their name, to the floors they want. That way, you don't have to wait for your save to add your name.

Suddenly so sentimental...
I shall work on the Minehattan52.zip file then.
Use Google Doc?

Sure, what I see is so awesome, I have to thank everyone!
(and kankt already took the save, but you saw it I guess)
Yes yes... But I am not able to catch up with the pace you all "grow" with the city.
MCEdit for me?
Yes, I'm planning to use google docs.
It will be up today.
If you want just PM me and I'll put your creation where you want it :smile.gif:
