[QUOTE=Konakona940;28365151]I came up with a idea for a blacksmith/forge place for the Blue nation:

A simple view from the front of the building.
[img_thumb]http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu189/Taintedmage/Untitled1.png[/img_thumb]
An inside view of the building, as you can see this is not much of a forge at this time. This is because I was thinking that a forge will be a very important building for the Blue nation to look after due to the fact that iron is going to be rare so I came up with the idea that they should use a library at a cover for the forge.

A view of the ladder that will lead to the forge area.
[img_thumb]http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu189/Taintedmage/Untitled3-1.png[/img_thumb]
A view of the forges, mind that i don't think that the Blue nation will need many forges so this building can be quite small and conpact and hidden in the corner of a castle.

Because I love the idea that I used in my Blue nation walls about archer defence to allow the archer to move to diffrent hights or take cover with ease I have used a small version of it here.

And because Blue are like that if a large group of attackers are coming towards the building there is a hole hidden with in the books bellow which could lead out of the city walls.[/QUOTE]
That could be pretty awesome to have hidden escape routes in case of emergencies in certain buildings in the city.
Shit will be just like Oblivion. Except there aren't rats everywhere.
Any indication of how military action and/or subterfuge will work? Will player commanders be able to spontaneously declare war on another nation? Will nations have a secret spy operation hidden somewhere? That kind of thing.
[QUOTE=ManningQB18;28365223]Doing these concept ideas would be so much easier if we had creative mode updated to Beta.
But it is still pretty easy to just do it in SMP if you have access to /give and cuboid. I might try some stuff later.[/QUOTE]
Just download a program called Toomanyitems, allows you to edit your items ingame which is hella useful.

Deal
Should all the nations compete in an inter-national competition on rare occasions? The winners get prizes for their nation, e.g. a building or many ores or a few special ones.

Not a confirmed plugin on the server, but sure would be fun.[/QUOTE]

Library in a forge?
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;28366126]Library in a forge?[/QUOTE]
Like I said in that post the Blue nation in the RP are looking like they will be the sneaky ones thus I desided that they would not have a building as valuble to them as a forge ( they don't have much iron so it would do to protect a place where the small amount of iron they have could be forged) open for the world to see. Thus I had the idea to hide the forge above a small maze of books under the cover of a Library and I think it inkeeps with the RP much better then just slapping it in a city.

I'd recommend a design where the forge is hidden underground, with the smoke being vented through a small stack in the ground.

I like this idea
This is pretty cool, is there any way I could contribute to this?
This is how imagine the Blue town hall, it's not done yet and i'm probably have to make the roof/building higher for it to look good.

We are looking for the following;
[list]A person capable of creating a custom texture pack. This will be a clean texture pack without too much detail.[/list]
[list]Someone with experience of coding in Java to code exclusive plug-ins for our server.[/list]
[list]People with experience in creating music, to create the national anthems of each nation[/list]
Please post your work in the relevant thread as you work on it and send the completed article to [email]hezzy@nationcraft.co.uk[/email][/quote]
Unfortunately I can't do none of these. :saddowns:

I may give this idea a good as it sounds good. The main reason that I did the whole forge above the Library was for the reasons before and because an escape path was easy to do with this but I'm sure I can make one that works just as well underground.
Edit: Edvinas just do what I do, try to make designs for buildings even if they are likely to be ignored it feels like you're helping!
Looking amazing still, Loving the skins even though I don't support the idea of preset/strict skins being used. I do think the town halls need to be much bigger though, even if I don't yet know all the future plans for the nations.
I don't think many of you are taking into account that logs can be crafted into [B]four[/B] wooden planks. I'm sure that, along with myself, many of us would not want to sacrifice three extra wooden planks to have a prettier fort or home or town hall.

[quote=Latency]In practice, common skins can be used as-is, modified to suit you better, or you can make your own skin from scratch. The only exceptions being the military uniforms, which will be forced on soldiers by each nation's government.
The only criteria for having your own skin is that it's easily identified as belonging to its nation, and that it fits with the basic theme. The best way to make it easily identifiable as one of the nations is to make sure the appropriate nation colour is clearly visible on the arms, since armor may cover everything else. It's also a good idea to avoid using colours from other factions for obvious reasons.
These colour palettes should help if you want to make a skin that fits well.

Yeah, I was just quoting the specifics, if you have any ideas don't hesitate to share it with us.
snip - late post.
Red National Anthem should be powerful, and "mighty" with slow, strong rises in pitch.
I was thinking something along the lines of this:

(Listen to the full 2:30 minutes, It's slow until after 1:00)
Edit:
Whoah, Youtube really ruined the quality, on normal format it sounds a lot deeper and stronger all together.

there won't be any faction music

3rd point mentions national anthems.
I assume it is meant that each faction will have a short, non-vocal song that features the defining personalities of the home nation.
yeah we could possibly have a bunch for each nation and put them in the text pack to replace the current music

Custom sounds get overwritten when you launch minecraft. Everyone would need to download Sound Mod Loader for them to work.
There might be a way to play customs sounds serverside, though.
Going to make a little house near a contested area, then make a secret annex, Anne Frank style, so I can spectate, when I'm not doing diplomatic stuff :v:
I think the best way to develop this would be to have an alpha phase. Actually playing would reveal far more flaws far faster than speculation

That is what's going on right now, actually, Closed Beta should be ready within a week or so.
[QUOTE=JWJ;28362851]Technically it's possible, the player is constantly sending packets that says they're breaking the block. You just have to break the block manually on a bukkit block_break event.[/QUOTE]
The client doesn't constantly send it anymore, from what I've been seeing.
