I admit the suits look a lot like Gilly suits lol. I'll draw some up this next week and post them soon. I'll try for the neon orange band on the helm for miners, make actual ranger core skins look more like cloaks. About escorts, I hope to teach you all in the ways of securing the cave from spawning. It involves lighting every nook and cranny, and sealing off unused or abandoned areas too large for lighting or profit. Mined tunnels should be neat and orderly as possible, to prevent flooding lava/water. Its all too much to write here, but essentially, if the miners need some baddies taken out, some rangers can swarm in there and make quick work of the problem.
Also check your emails associated with the site, I accepted all the pending applications and sent your invitations to the site. all u gotta do is click the link to setup your acct on the site
my tunnels are always lit :biggrin.gif:
just tryin to get a idea of how we will run thats all
how far can torches be apart for them to still stop mobs from spawning? i normaly place mine with a 2 brick gap, but i think you can go farther
That is what magma is for...
... Seriously, clever usage of magma can create safe, efficient and cheap indoor lighting. Not to mention that it has numerous industrial and defense applications.
wow, i never thought of using it to light all my tunnels, thats a really good idea...
and it would work better when im looking for diamonds ect. at the bottom layers, because the bottom layer is lava
and so you dont fall in, it would be something like
[iron]
[iron]
tnt being lava, dirt being glass, and iron being air
or something like that XD
i bet notch will fix that, we also can make mining tunnels, and then block it off, and take all the torches and move on to a new area, and use the old areas as monster spawners so we can go down there and quickly get mob drops.
and to Merlin, i wont mind having those super efficent farms that are just the tunnels down in old mining areas, that way i can check on them on my way to put ores in the oven :biggrin.gif:
Not a problem, lighting the tunnels is the only thing I want to make sure people do. "How" you do it is up to you, and fine by me.
I've also been working on a better ranger skin, I took some good ideas from the one MacGruber posted a while ago, and implemented them into a more "cloaked" ranger. No more Gilly suits :tongue.gif: I'm still leaving the face area a blank grey with some spots for eyes just to give it substance for now. When you get your skin you can fill in the face as you like.
I'll try to get the Miner's and Ranger's sets out today.
Things I plan to implement:
Miners: Neon Orange head band or symbols (symbols will be on all sides if I choose that, and will denote rank)
Rangers: Shoulder ranks that blend in with the cloak, but still notable.
I'll work on these after I get the other ones done:
Diamond Ranger Skin (based off of the other skins, but more unique)
Fort Leader Skin (based off of the other skins but more unique)
the fort leader should have more of a formal, leader like look, because there more of directing people.
i think we should have some players be zombie skins and scare people that come to close in the day...
No I don't agree on the zombie skins, I believe we should maintain a more respectable outlook, and stick to professionalism. Warn them, then kill them if they refuse to cooperate.
OK, all the skins are complete. Both Miner subtypes share the same skin since they are the same rank, other than that each class/rank has a skin. I've posted them on the website. Check "2nd set" album
Their up, I forgot to make them public, lol. I'll work on some faces later, for now I gotta do some work around the house and spend time with Nevaeh (my fiance)
Looking at the new skins, better than the gilly. But it still lacks detail from shading. The shading for the cloak and trousers is reversed. The trousers should be a lighter shade of brown, same as a regular dirt block, and the green should be fairly dark. To show that it is a cloak and not a load of body paint, try putting a part on the front, like I did with mine. It could simply be a triangular patch of light green. Simply something to break up the monotonous color.
MacGruber, did you make your own skin? if so you might want to post it so Merlin can get a better idea, and i havent seen the new guy besides his one post D: hopefully it was just the time of day for him.
edit: Macgruber, are you going to strip mine to get the stone?

Yes I have made and shown my own skin, and no. I believe that a conspicuous strip mine is not in the best interests of the clan. I also am building a potential stealth fort design in singleplayer. I hope to show it off soon.

They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I told them I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.
