Complete Schematics

[xNuminousx]

This idea would allow content creators to build Avatar-themed "things", save the schematic for it, and then upload it here on the forums for download. This would create a new category in the Downloads tab.

Example scenario: I just finished making a Water Tribe hut. I think it's really good so I gather my world edit, select my positions, copy the area (if that's necessary, can't remember), create the schematic in my plugins folder, locate and select the schematic, create a new resource titled Water Tribe Hut, describe the build, upload the schematic, get it approved by builders (who will need to become more active for this), and BAM! You've now uploaded a schematic for server owners to use if they want to.

This idea would make Project Korra a lot more diverse, including both java related downloads, design related downloads, and now architectural downloads. This idea would include a whole other side of the community that has been dormant for far too long.

Please, if you have any ideas, opinions, or changes for this idea voice them below. Unlike some people I won't be upset if you nitpick my suggestion

I think it isn't strictly tied to the plugin, yet, nor is the resource pack... I like it!

 

[xNuminousx]

It's more involved with increasing the avatar feel in Minecraft. I think it'd be best for them to be more diverse rather than strictly follow the plugin and that's it. They'd grow in popularity if they were more diverse like this.

Nobody is stopping anyone from uploading it here anyway.

 

[xNuminousx]

Well personally I haven't tried. And does the upload button accept .schematic? Does anyone even know they can? Besides, this is more of a suggestion for them to encourage/support building uploads. There's no section/category for it and I suggest they create it.

Thought you argued over that Debate section shouldn't exist. Why so bias?

How is this relevant to that at all? That debate section was suggesting to create something that already exists. There is no Building category in the download tabs and nothing like it.

Building is not something encouraged on the forums at all. Other than the build team but even they said they don't do anything.

Pretty good idea!

We do stuff lol

You've said you don't e_o

Might've said we don't do much but we still do stuff. Most of what I needed to build is done.

Hhmmm. My point still stands

There is a MISC section. Use that. Some people did post links to maps/builds, so why this should be necessary?

 

[xNuminousx]

Because building isn't encouraged in the community. Having a builds section in downloads would bring awareness to the idea of building stuff and releasing them to the public. I'll make a little something something and see if Omni would accept it. However if you click a category it'll disappear. And the downloads are generally filled with add-on abilities so having a Builds section would help to separate them and bring awareness to them.

And there isn't a misc section, there's a label for it but it doesn't have a category.

This is why there should be a build category.... To upload anything it has to be "Custom Abilities" or "ProjectKorra Side Plugins."

I'll still try to upload a build but... It'll be Custom Abilities if it gets accepted because that's the only way you can select Misc.

EDIT
Just tried to upload a build to Custom Abilities labeling it as "Misc" and I cannot. The downloads does not support .schematic files. Another reason why this suggestion is relevant over that Debate Section suggestion.

Why not simply create a thread and attach a file to it

 

[MeskenasBoii]

Thing is, moderating the build wouldn't be easy, since they can vary into non-tla/lok related and the who is approving&dismissing might mistaken it. For example, a nether castle. I think it would fit more to the forum section than in the resource page. Building isn't encourage? It is encourage. Today it isn't because the forums is almost death on the creation/contribution domain.

I could ask the same question about add-on abilities. Of course you could say that's different because they actually require Project Korra. Well I would think if someone is going to make an Avatar map then theyd use Pk to go along with it. This would be to make servers feel more like the show with the help of other people and also, having a download option would make them more noticeable while also bringing up a new side to the community.

I don't see it being any more difficult than an add-on ability. Of course, if the schematic gets too large then I could see that being an issue. But that's why forum users are here. We always report things. Of course, it'd just be SOOO tragic for us to start nitpicking builds wouldn't it? Hmmm.

As for whether it's non-tla/lok related, why would someone upload it here? Again, the forum users are always here. Server owners should test the schematics before actually using them. They can report false builds and get them taken down.

As for the "who" would be approving/disproving builds, I would assume the builders. But they are not active on the forums as much as they should be and that's the only flaw I see there. If not, Omni should be able to judge just fine. All he'd have to do is make sure it's actually related to the show.

Building is not encouraged anywhere on the forums Mesk.
