This seems like a very ambitious and cool project, but I feel a little left out of the loop, and roleplaying in the *robe and wizard hat* sense has never really appealed to me. I'd be interested to play this just to help build big, themed cities. That seems pretty neat.
I could probably help with some of the graphic design shit.
Might make some flags or something.
Are you looking for sprite-like flags that would fit Minecraft? Or more realistic looking?

It'll really depend on how much players accept their countries architecture, I'm okay with some deviation from the norm but I'm worried that only the official buildings and a few houses will actually fit each nations style.
I really like the hammer flag thats been floating around for Green, so i put it into a banner.

The fact that the dots around the side arent symmetrical is going to drive me insane.
Can you chuck those in a painting file for me at some point.
I'd like to see them ingame.
BTW, does transparency work on them ingame? I'm not sure it does :(
[editline]25th February 2011[/editline]
Just tried to use MCedit to move some architecture from my testing file to the prototype maps.
It did naaaaht work.
No idea, but Im sure i could make them fully 16 x 32 if transparency doesnt work.
Also, theres only 2 paintings which are 16 x 32, i just made the green one incase someone knows if its possible to add more paintings.
Probably not easily.
I'd say make a landscape green one.

Not easily, make a landscape green perhaps.
Yeh, might have to do that.
Ive made 3 separate painting file things, with one of each of the banners.
Would you like me to just upload them to an image hosting site, and put them here? Or make a zip, and save you have to rename them and stuff?
I'm continuing to play in red territory in singleplayer, netherack instead of torches is actually really god damn badass, although exploring caves is significantly harder, instead of right click for light it's right click, scroll to flint n steel, right click on the top of your new block.
It's a big danger in caves since you take like 3 or 4 seconds to place a light source, but on the other hand the fact you can use it to kill the shit out of zombies when they swamp you is awesome, burning creepers are also hilarious, they look up to me with their square puppy dog eyes and I look right back and watch those motherfuckers burrrrrrn.

I don't mind really, I like your blue and red most though, so if you could both of them in one file and just send that to me I'd love to start placing it on red structures.

Provided they work well, ill do that now.

Not ideal, but you can split it across two 16x16 paintings and make people put up both.

Sounds like a plan, but we can check if transparency will work first, if it wont there are a few ways i can make them will up the entire space.

thats not how transparency works in minecraft, make the stuff behind the flags actually transparent, or atleast a diff. colour to the pink
Ah alright, i havent really added anything to MC before, bull ill do it now.
Throw in your red painting too btw.
So delete the parts i dont want, like this?

yeah i think thats right
Transparency (mostly) works!!!!
It looks awesome!
The only problem is the outline is wood, perhaps making the wood texture inside the png transparent will remove it?
I havent use pictures ingame before, what do you mean the outline?
The edges of paintings are wooden, because it's a painting.
Hard to explain, but go ingame and make one and look at the side, you'll see it.
Ah ok, ill have a look at one soon.
[editline]25th February 2011[/editline]
So you mean delete the wooden square in the top right?

Oh man that is badass.
[editline]25th February 2011[/editline]
Screenshot taken before you removed the wood on the sides, that works perfectly and it looks amazing.
Cool.
Can still see some brown on the sides, is there something im missing to delete? Or is that just how it works?
I took it before you posted the fix.
You two deserve medals for serving the great empire
Looks awesome.
They did say they had something in store for the paintings, hopefully the banners wont just be pushed away. But it wouldnt bother me if they were. Much more important things to add :v:
If you need a banner for the website then I guess you could use this:
