For the point of sanity, I've changed the size again to 143x143. This allows us to forget about issues with orientation, as we can just rotate it.
This should also be better as it will have a single midpoint.

 

Ohmygosh thank you so much that will help a ton

 

I will submit a build with @Silentshot90

 

@JamieSinn how soon can we have that schematic?

 

I would like to point out that the design I just spent two entire nights starting will now have to be redone from scratch, because it centered around four blocks around a single coordinate as the center, and everything flowed outward from that. A spawn build has to be symmetrical on two axes. A design that is symmetrical on two axes has a single center point. What that center point is, has now changed twice in 48 hours.

This competition is impossible until the design criteria stop changing.

In addition, based on the work I had put in so far on the design I will now be discarding, I'm of the opinion that this build cannot be done at the requisite level of quality by a solo builder in six weeks. I'm skeptical that it can even be done within that time limit by a team.

 

To accommodate this, I'll edit it to allow either 143x144 or 143x143. I understand that it's hard having it change, but we need to be sure of what the end goal will be.

 

You won't be getting a schematic. It'll be hosted in a server of mine. Earliest is Saturday night

 

Got it, thanks

 

I agree

 

I am interested in participating alone.

 

I don't see this answered in the thread, Is it essential to have have the holograms set up or would this not matter?

 

My OCD doppelganger started taking measurements and realized, with much horror, that the four main paths to the spawntowns are not centered with the frame path around spawn (the thighter one that goes through statues) :eek: namely:

• the North-South main (large, central) path is
  • 74 blocks apart from the West (N-S) frame corridor
  • 73 blocks apart from the East (N-S) frame corridor
• the West-East main (large, central) path is
  • 72 blocks apart from the North (W-E) frame corridor
  • 76 blocks apart from the South (W-E) frame corridor

I understand that the main paths' position outside spawn can't be messed with too much, due to region alignments and such; on the other hand, the purpose of this contest is to end up with something better than what was done before, and it'd be pretty easy for staff to join up (within the few yards outside spawn) the two segments of the main paths, as they'd be misaligned by only 2 blocks.

So, here is my question. Should we:

1. Dismiss these differences and make a spawn as symmetrical/good as possible, ant then staff will find a way to realign those 2 blocks?
2. Build something that is already aligned with the current, misaligned -ugh- main paths?

Sorry for the long post, here is a potato

 

I will be participating with @Mendiboi, @Jffsprs, @bobman3355, @oootopia, @xerxesbeat, @NotoriousIzzy, and @RaginDevonian

 

I'll submit a build, probably in my realism themes! :)

 

This clears it up a lot, so just to clarify the part inside the blue outline is what we are building, meaning the wall near the statues with the flags is remaining the same aswell as the statues positions/look is also looking the same or is this part of the competition also? But if this remains the same, is it possible to get the winner to make an additional new design for this wall so that it matches the new spawn design, if they wish to do so of course? @ClarinetPhoenix

 

I love the wall and the flags, but can the flags be put on the outside of the wall too, it looks really ugly from town side. :p

 

In order to have a track where to build in, I made a template for the area around spawn, taking into consideration @ClarinetPhoenix's measurements and mine, easily downloadable by everyone.
As it took a while to make it, and it'd be an advantage to use it and save time, I was considering selling it. However I soon realized the exchange would happen outside the server, therefore it'd be non enforceable and thus against rules.
So I decided: hell to competition, let's just make it public because masochism!

Disclaimer: while I did this for my own benefit and therefore I expect it to be accurate and useful, I do not guarantee either. Use it as your guideline, assuming that it is correct, at your own risk.

Spoiler: Here's the link to the schematic file

You are not legally required to give me anything and probably nobody except you will ever know that you used it. However, if you appreciate it, you might take into consideration the idea of purchasing a few of my magical sticks just anything in /warp station46 ;)

Spoiler: Instructions

• download the file
• place it in config/worldedit/schematics/
• open a new flat world in creative*
  
• goto 0 64 0
• do //schem load ECC-Spawn-Template-Expipiplusone
• do //paste
• enjoy!

I selected only an area from 59 to 99 along Y because otherwise it would have taken ages to paste it: therefore, when you create the new flat world *before loading the schematic, you need to select the correct number of layers (otherwise the land will be empty underground).

Spoiler: Legend

• black stained glass = statues volume
• redstone block = X,Z=0,0 point
• purple stair blocks = the center of the 143x144 buildable area (Jamie said the coord should be floored, so you'll probably want to stand on the north one)
• the empty area within the glass frame is the 143x144 area you should stay in.

NOTE: this is NOT intended as my submission to the contest, of course

 

If anyone would like to participate but can not do the world edit schematics, let me know. I will generate a schematics file from a world save if anyone wants.

I would also like to participate.
