Welcome everyone to my thread on the progress of building Lumbridge Castle, from the game Runescape.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself first. I started Minecraft about a week ago and am currently using a cracked version, I'm going to be honest. I'm unable to buy the game for many reasons, but I don't want to get into that. I'm really falling in love with playing it, so I decided to make a project to keep myself busy. The only downside about this project is the fact that if I so happen am able to purchase the game, then all of my progress will most likely have to be restarted, but I highly doubt I'd be purchasing it anytime soon. If I do however get the actual version of minecraft I'm going to try to look into building whole cities of Runescape.
Now on with the project!
What I am building:
Day 1:
I scaled out the base of the castle on graph paper. I didn't want to use any programs on my computer, because I simply want to have fun drawing everything out myself, and possibley having gigantic map of the areas I have built.
I'm most likely going to start out by building the base, and then see what height I want it, and then scale the 2nd and 3rd floors on paper.
It is 22 x 15 inches.
Updated - 7/3/2012 : Day 2.
I built the base, roof, 2nd floor towers, tower spiral staircases, and the outline of the kitchen, and dining room.
Updated - 7/4/2012 : Day 3.
I forgot to mention that I used stone for the outline, because I needed to double up for the interior of the castle (walls).
I finished most of the castle, and gave it the stone brick finish. Next I'm going to focus a bit on the details, and then start the plans for the courtyard.
Update #2 7/4/2012 : Day 3
Later today I added a new texture pack. I also made the fountains and part of the pathway. The entire inside has been decorated with white walls with wood bordering and windows.
Haha, I remember when I used to play Runescape. Good times, good times...
Anywho.
Looks like that plan shows you know what you are doing. I assume you're also going to do the basement and the courtyard/spawn too? That would be quite cool.
Optimal room height would probably be 3-4 blocks high max. Also instead of (what appears to be) a slightly off scale map (which is still pretty good) you could use one RS square = one MC block.
This way you have a close enough scale and also makes it easier to put doors in (because all the doorways are 2 squares wide aren't they).
Anyway, hope to see what this looks like when it's done.

I am planning to do the basement and court yard! I'll ahve to scale those out as well. Thank you so much for the tips, I was looking at it more like "one RS square = one MC block. It does look too me that I might have scaled it to be a bit too large so I think I see where you were looking.
This is my first project so hopefully all goes well with everything taken to note
One thing I haven't really figured out yet since I'm new is if I am to create this in creative mode? I want to be able to share this or make a server out of it if I ever do just have too much time to create and entire city, or maybe even all of Runescape! xD
If you buy Minecraft your progress will not be lost. Just backup the save file: Hit start and type %APPDATA% and then enter (include the %). Click roaming, then .minecraft and then saves. There are your saves ready to backup! (just copy them elsewhere).
Anyways, I think you are going to have problems with the banners. I suggest texturepacks to modify paintings into banners. But nice project idea ma'te!
Thanks for the information! I'm unable to buy minecraft so I'll have to wait for Christmas or something haha.
Ah, I remember creating my RS account 5 years earlier. I probably don't play it anymore, but I say you should get started on that ground floor, and maybe later that basement.

Having a cracked version of the game is illegal. Reported to the cyber police.
So, What your saying is someone logged onto your account, bought curse premium and logged out and went... '****, thats not my account' Hmmm....
Thats probably the only explanation possible LMAO. I don't have a credit/debit card, and I have no money at all so I seriously have no idea. I thought it was there for everyone, because when I clicked on it, it prompts me to subscribe to them.... I'm also on the Zybez forum to where I am not a premium member.
You guys are really not being intelligent. You don't have to crack the game to play offline.
Anyway, nice choice for a build. Simple, yet recognizable. May I suggest cobblestone for the cannon body, a dispenser for the head, and trapdoors for the wheels?

Th
anks for the suggestion, I truly appreciate it! Do you have any idea where I can find some what of a flat land mod for creative mode?
I'm going to go to bed after this post, but in the morning I'm going to attempt to recreate Lumbridge castle. It should not be hard at all since RuneScape is also has a graph-based map system.

seems legit
'Nuff said
I really have no idea how I got curse premium, because I didn't subscribe to it rofl.
As I stated above^

Seems LEGIT. Not. Reported.
A lot of torrents are actual legal, but thank you for your concern

Anyways, this is getting way off topic.
