Updates on my desert map. I've decided it will be an adventure map. God help me with redstone. First time I genuinely spent 20 minutes trying to rig a piston to slide a section of a wall open.
I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but once the map is complete would any of you be interested in assisting with the redstone puzzles or storyline? The map is about... 40% complete.
On to some pictures...
The starting camp with tents, strange pillars and a mineshaft. At the time I was messing around with some texture packs. Not sure of the fence around the camp, may have to remove it.

Lower depths of the mineshaft. Giant stone golem?

Catacombs and a little altar.

No major advancement on the inside. New texture pack makes it look tasty though.

I like the warm colors with all of that underground
Looks like it'd be fun to explore.
[QUOTE=dead60;38316422]Updates on my desert map...[/QUOTE]
What texture pack is that? Inspiration?
I'd hope it will be fun to explore. I don't really want this adventure map to be too linear, but I guess there is little room for 'exploration' in a giant temple other than basic catacombs and desolate rooms. Who knows...
I just sort of add things to the map for half hour a day and then spend most of my sunday building it. It keeps the ideas and easthetics of the map fresh.
As for the texture pack, (using the tents picture as reference) the one on the left is dokucraft 1.4.2 and the one on the right is JohnSmith 9.7. Even though the lighting and colour schemes are lovely, the pack does not have enough intricacy like dokucraft. I'll probably keep looking for one which will eventually suit the map.

Biggest thing I've attempted to make in Minecraft, doing it online and legit survival so it's slow going. Netherrack is just temporary so I don't waste smooth stone
Working on [URL="http://imgur.com/a/gbjLf#0"]this[/URL] city.
It's called Bird City, because I was watching Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law at the time I was making the region. It's on a Tekkit server owned by myself and Akito8.
If you want to see it in person, be patient. Once I finish the city and Akito8 is ready, we'll open up the server and the forums to the public. We're not sure if we want to do creative or survival Tekkit.
Progress!

I plan on putting the letters E and T, nice and big on the front in White and lime Green Wool, with glass panes all around it and the front

bro, go to image 25 of the album I posted.
It's just a shaved version of what you're doing.

How the fuck did I end up building the same thing as you? I looked up examples of apartment complexes on google and just copied it from the image. But I had to scale it into a 20x20 lot for the city.
[editline]5th November 2012[/editline]
I demolished the version I built and I got rid of the grid streets on the sides of the city. So now that I'm not restricted to my 20x20 plots, I'll build the whole thing.
Well that was really strange, good job guys! Same idea!

Same fucking thing I did. Google Imaged the easiest looking appartment complex I could find. Mine's shorter though, Didn't want to hit the clouds and not everyone raises their cloud limit

The actual sample has 14 floors, but I'm doing 10 because I don't want it to surpass the building in front of it.
[editline]5th November 2012[/editline]
I don't know what to do with the interior. Do I make it a loft? Or make rooms and shit?

I did 6 rooms per floor, 2 long ones, and 4 even ones with the balcony ledges, except the top floor has 2 long ones, and one presidential sweet with a very open front bay window. I'll grab a screenshot once the server comes back up. I also did only 10 floors + the Lobby, 57 Appartments total, with an open lounge looking over the lobby
Once I finish putting glass in it, I'll do furnishings for the first floor to figure out where the glowstone lights are going to go in the ceiling, since they'll have to be covered up by the furniture on the floor above it

First screenshot is the same on every floor, the hall way with apartments on either side, second screen is from one of the long ones without balcony access, and the third is the tenth floor suite

I did 2 huge apartments per floor, but once I start laying out the interiors, I'm thinking about separating them into smaller divisions. The building ended up being 36x18 due to the space restrictions I already have. (Even though I made them)
Just looked at yours, Holy shit they're similar. You probably couldn't fit 6 rooms per floor in that... 4 Maybe, 3 comfortably no problem but a Symetrical building with odd number of rooms is weird to do
I need suggestions for my sea base. I expanded on it again. There is now a farm area with animals (which were a bitch to get down there in survival) and a plantation area where I grow crops. This is alongside the main foyer, blacksmithing/crafting room, cafe/brewing room, library/enchanting room, and a small room that leads to a mine beneath the sea floor.
I was thinking of constructing a tower coming out of the water that was only accessible from below, but I think that might ruin the general feel of an underwater base so I need better ideas.

I actually demolished that one. I'm building the regular full scale version like in [URL="http://minecraftgallery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Luxury-modern-minecraft-Apartments.png"]this[/URL] picture. I improvised with the sides and back of the building obviously.

That's not my picture, I'm using it as a sample. I have no idea how to change the sky texture.

I ended up leaving it as two apartments per floor. I certainly have no shortage of housing in my city. All of the towers I built equate to housing for at least 100 players. The server can't even handle that load as far as I know.
I might take one or two of the buildings and make the floors into shop space instead of housing.
