Title: [CONTEST] Blueprint Building!
Post by: Rayblon on July 08, 2014, 08:58:10 PM
I don't hear too much talk about building in Mythruna, so to spice things up, we're gonna play a little game! Blueprints are an amazing feature in Mythruna, but it seems most people that venture into this fantastical world have trouble even managing a chair. Your task as a contestant is to build using blueprints! It can be anything, a campsite, a car, a statue, a boat, or even a skyscraper if you're up to the challenge!

There are a few caveats, however.
1. The setting of your blueprint structure can be modified to suit your needs, but CANNOT be the centerpiece of your screenshot.
2. hidden lighting is acceptable.
3. You CANNOT use a single blueprint as your structure, that includes reusing a blueprint on your clipboard. You are allowed to reuse blueprints freely, but a minimum of two ORIGINAL(made by you) blueprints are REQUIRED!
4. You are allowed to place your blueprint objects separately, but it is always nice to see people combine blueprints to make larger structures like the fountain screenshot.

An example of an acceptable(but not a winning) blueprint entry is:

The basics of blueprint making and object interaction:
B: opens up the blueprint interface. Clicking any of the existing blueprints in the menu will allow you to edit them. Clicking new allows you to make a new blueprint. Building a blueprint is just like building in the physical world.
RIGHT CLICKING an object: Opens an interface that allows you to snap an object to a coordinate or rotation, make an object physical, or delete it. only works when using the object tool.
LEFT CLICKING and HOLDING on an object: Allows you to freely move an object and make horizontal rotations freely. Only usable with the object tool.

Contest entries will be accepted until July 16th, and voting will begin on the 17th, lasting until sometime on the 19th. The winner gets a congratulations since there's nothing to give on the forum... But you can win knowing you helped keep the forum a bit more lively. :)

I'll be participating sometime soon, don't think that you're the only one. :)

I wasn't actually planning on participating, but now I feel honor bound to do it. :P

Time for me to kick ass and chew bubble gum... and I'm all out of gum.


Thought about building a submerged water shrine... forgot that blueprint objects magically teleport to the surface of any bodies of water they come in contact with...

Ahh well, it'll have to go on the surface. :P

in the community town marketplace there is i think almost 50 different blueprints sitting in the basement.

and in my blueprint museum near my unfinished submarine, and next to my underwater dragon dome, i have somewhere around 150 blueprints i think (never counted them) but they were scavenged from all over the map

This contest is testing your ability to use blueprints to create larger structures. Preferably, you shouldn't need to use salvaged goods, but the museum sounds intriguing. Screenshot it as your entry if you wish.

go check out community town or the museum. in the community town we have a blacksmith, tannery, watermill, windmill, docks, etc etc a lot that uses various blueprints. im not really wanting to be a part of a contest just offering a place to let people see what is out there. and as for a screen shot im not sure when i'll be on next to take one

His town is protected, thus, people cannot grief, unless they're granted permission to build in that property. ;)

Ahh, that's good. I've seen far too many decimated buildings on the main server... :P

I think the town he's talking about is past what will someday be the new spawn point.  And that spawpoint is protected for as far as the eye can see from that spawnpoint.

The current spawn leaves kind of a bad impression and performs poorly as compared to the rest of the world.

i'll have to pop on soon and grab the coords, but the community town is most deff protected. and paul its near future and seans castle town thing. i dont think i have seen the new spawn town you've been working on so i dont know where that is

Yes, well, FB made his stuff just past the protected spawn area. :)

The future spawn location is: 1422, 1181

It has a nice spawn platform and a little path that leads to the village of randomly generated buildings.

The tannery that iggy mentions is at: 2260, 1127  (I built the tannery so I know where it is... it's in the town Iggy was talking about.)

I've got a really good entry so far. Not too much left to get done! ^.^

I'm not sure how extravagant I'm going to make mine, but I've already made about 5 blueprints.

I have over 30 unique blueprints if you count all the fine details...

EDIT: It's over 70 now methinks

My entry is a shrine for the giant catfish, Namazu.

The pictures do it little justice. If you wish to see just how detailed it is, travel to these coordinates:1682, -245, 58

A view of the shrine and bridge from a distance.

The bridge to the shrine.

A close up view of the shrine gate and the shrine grounds.

(http://i58.tinypic.com/10h3j8g.png)
A close up of the shrine's water basin(In Shintoism, washing yourself is equivalent to washing away sin)

(http://i58.tinypic.com/t5ne3t.png)
An outhouse because I couldn't think of anything else to put there.

(http://i59.tinypic.com/2823xx3.png)
... and the contents of said outhouse.

(http://i60.tinypic.com/281ak9v.png)
At the front steps of the shrine... Notice the water lamps lining the front of the shrine, and the water lanterns. Namazu may be worshipped as a bringer of earthquakes, but he is still a fish.

(http://i59.tinypic.com/1z1saiq.png)
With the sliding doors closed this time.

(http://i62.tinypic.com/i52ik0.png)
A good view of the interior of the shrine's worship area, complete with an extra wash fountain, a towel, an old candle blueprint I had laying around, and Namazu's statue. Notice that the wood paneling protrudes a bit.

(http://i57.tinypic.com/dpvbjp.png)
An incense burner with extra incense sticks on the wall opposite the candles and wash fountain

(http://i59.tinypic.com/2v2yvsx.png)
A close-up of Namazu's statue.

(http://i61.tinypic.com/a1lesl.png)
Making eye contact this time around.

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2pqpe9f.png)
The rightmost room of the shrine. A dining and living area stocked with teas and various other goods owned(and often distributed) by the shrine keeper. The floor is composed of tatami mats. It seems the shrine keeper had company!

(http://i60.tinypic.com/1zwyyqv.png)
A night-time image, so that you can see the seating arrangement.

(http://i60.tinypic.com/152cpjl.png)
The modest living quarters of the shrine keeper. The most emphasized item in this room is the nightstand, obviously. What items are important enough to not be relinquished by the shrine's caretaker? (I really like how the nightstand turned out. I used the magic lights as knobs.



That's my entry folks. It's not protected unfortunately(since my original stronghold is *really* far away), but that just means you need to be cautious around it. >.>

Everything but the grass and the water under the shrine's main room is composed of blueprint objects. The final product, including all of the various bits and pieces should contain a little under 100 blueprints.

I ran out of ideas, and I'd rather build a whole town out of blocks.

Blueprints can be frustrating sometimes, I'll admit that much.

Post by: Tamarie on July 15, 2014, 10:15:34 PM
I've visited your shrine. I'd say that it must have taken you months to put together, but since only a few days have passed--good grief but you've done amazing work in no time! I love your delicate structures; blocks just can't do that. And here I was, proud of my microwave.


Title: Re: [CONTEST] Blueprint Building!
Post by: Rayblon on July 15, 2014, 10:44:34 PM
Thank you for the praise, Tamarie. :)

You could no doubt do it yourself(And probably better). It's like writing a book or painting, all it takes, when you get down to it, is inspiration and motivation. If it took me three days to build that, imagine what you could do in a month, or even a week.

Since there are insufficient entries, voting will be postponed indefinitely until there are at least 4 entries.

I might give it a go. I haven't logged on since I added the telescope to my lab. Which was either spring of last year, or fall of last year. I wonder how different everything is around it now...
