I'm out of time. I'm afraid the subway is currently non-functional. I deleted the old stations apart from Town Hall and added one (Financial District). I'll take the save if its available tomorrow and get the subway working again as quickly as possible.
Taken!
I might work on getting all of the street rails to be on, and I might work on some other stuff.
I'm back to school now so i will be slightly less active, and i don't expect to take the save at all this week Friday at the earliest as i have important exams. But i will pop in and keep up to date with whats going on.
any way.. i agree with much of what has been said, i like the new district plans and the subway design. Although one point i'd like to make is now that the map is really big, would it not be better if we got the participants to download win rar? as it compresses files much better then a computer normally can, and a .rar archive is far smaller then a zip one is, so it is easier to both uplaod and download no matter what website your using. It is free, even though the website asks you to pay. and i have had a 'trial' for months and all it does after your 'test period' 'expires' is either nothing or displays a little prompt notice urging you to buy it.
It will also deter 'griefers' like that guy on the previous? page, as i am sure unless they already have it they won't be bothered to go and download an archiver to muck up a map we can restore with as much effort as it requires to move your little finger.
Win rar is also highly useful for many other things,and even if you were to use it for nothing other then to open the minehatten file, the 'main builders' in this topic take the file enough for it to be of use.
anywho before this turns into an epic i think i'l end it. i am fairly sure the answer is 'no' but i still felt like saying it.
:tongue.gif: Herp derp
Not everyone can unzip .rar files, or feels like bothering enough o get one, so people who might actually add something good might leave. Also, mac users can't make rar files (there are rar unzippers for macs though)
can't they? i know it kinda gives it away in the name WinZip but i swear i have seen people with macs using it in tutorials and such. oh well, it was just throwing it out there. i expected some such problem to arise as to why it wouldn't be feasible.
People with macs can only unrar them.
I'm gonna build a yacht club at the rich people area :biggrin.gif:
Macs can Rar things :smile.gif: I have a program called betterzip that is kindof like winrar, and it makes rars on command :tongue.gif: Anyways, I am very glad that my flag won the contest! This is the second win in a week! (i won my schools logo contest)
I'm going to Work on the Mall@The WORLD Trade Center.
Also, UFlapJack, where is the Financial Center subway station? Is it right below 1WTC? I have that perfectly laid out for a 2 level subway system if you're interested. I was planning to connect the subway to the underground mall.
EDIT:Ok, I saw where it is, hmm seems like a barrier was put between the mall and the station. No worries though, I removed it, but I'm wondering if we can move the station to where my mall is? When I give back the save you can see what I mean.
Also, I saw the station, how does it work? For me there are two carts on top of each other and they're not moving and are getting stuck...it's not working.
Why can't we use redstone repeaters at delays at stations along with slopes? I think that would be the easiest, right?

Sorry about that... I forgot to check the underground in that station... but it's pretty simple to solve this problem, the space where now is 7 WTC (@UFlapjack: light blue building close to the bank) has lots of free space around and nothing underground!
PS: The subway design was made like that because it is practical, as long as it is working (like here for instance). Did you update to 1.6.6? (It's hatch based)
I said that without thinking where, but looking right now, there are some spaces... good thing is that the flag is only 4x8...
- in the floor on top of the stairs (we would step on it though)
- outside in front of the main hall
- inside on top of the main hall
- in the record room, to the left of the record wall (to the right are some book shelves)
But I'm not sure if it'll look good in any of them, as we did not plan it beforehand.
(I was afraid when first saw your dictator government back up plan lol!!)
I think kantk might be running out of time a little...
Take the save and start doing whatever you want to. Later we MCedit kantk's changes into the save.
If you can, please place that subway station (the one in the middle of Main Avenue) in the same block as 7WTC, instead of close to 1WTC. Kantk could still make a tunnel connecting the station to his mall because it's only some 15 blocks distant.
Don't worry UFlap, I'll move when I have the chance...
-------------------------------------
And I declare Tman's Flag winner of the contest!!!!!
Congratulations!
With just one vote ahead of Poonflippy's flag! (35,71% of all votes)
This is it:
I believe we can place it in the City Hall now
