It's Here! New Tutorial for the Empire!

  1. Should I make a thread of all the button locations?
  2. Only if you put in spoiler buttons so forum lurkers don't have things ruined for them.

  3. I didn't get a 50-page book at the end; did I miss something? :O
  4. Of course...
  5. You aren't a guest member =)
    The /promo will be updated with the new book for everyone to claim as soon as Aikar gets a chance.
  6. I need to know how to do spoilers because I'm aching to talk about the easter eggs I found.
  7. Ah, okay, cool.

    Also, (and I know I'll probably be muted from the forums for being so persnickety) I've gone through the new tutorial, reading the signs, and I've compiled a list of errors/things you might want to fix, as I like to think this is helping in some way. Here we go:

    - Very first room, floating text: "truely" is a misspelling of "truly"
    - In the room designed like the Town spawn, the Wastelands portals say "Wilderness" instead of "Wastelands"
    - In the same room, on the lapis wall, one of the bottom signs: "th" instead of "the"
    - Next sign after that: "opening" should be "open", grammatically
    - In the big open Frontier area, on the gold wall at the start, sign on the bottom: "arguements" is a misspelling of "arguments"
    - The double-sign on the path right after that: the text is split into two sentences, when it should really just be separated by a comma
    - Same issue on the first sign on the small gold wall about the Live-Map, shortly after
    - This one's quite picky, but in the Mumble/Forum/Events room, on the gold wall: "minecraft" should really have a capital 'M', as it's a proper noun

    The rest are all in the EMC Training Building at the end
    - Shops & Currencies section, Tokens, top-middle sign: "they" should be "they're", and it will fit, as it would make that line 15 characters long, the max for a line on a sign
    - Next to that, on the Rupees wall, top-middle sign: "then" is a misspelling of "them"
    - SMP Servers board: "it's" should be "its" (there's always gotta be one of these)
    - (Super optional) Vault commands pillar: I personally think it should say "Cost is 10r for 5 mins" instead of "Cost is 10r per 5 mins", just because "per" sort of implies some kind of ongoing payments or something, whereas "for" is more straightforward in saying that 10r gives you 5 minutes
    - General Use commands: Most signs say "Brings up" or "Lists" (singular, in the active present tense) but /ps, /mail get ###, /rupees, and /stable store say things like "Bring up", which gives a sense of inconsistency
    - Empire Features, Groups and Bonuses: "wioth" is a misspelling of "with"
    - Empire Features, Feature Signs: "all sort of things" should be "all sorts of things"
    - Same wall, 3 signs over: "editted" is a misspelling of "edited"

    I didn't even look into all the bonus/secret stuff; this is just the main path stuff.

    Please don't get annoyed at me for this, anyone; I just want to help. Someone's gotta be that guy. :)

  16. I sent multiple people through to catch these issues lol. I will fix them today and have it ready for a reboot update.

    I take full responsibility because I placed all the signs, but you can blame the others for not catching the mistakes =)

  17. I think I just found a secret room with Resiks and Dragons Tombs with a hidden language message and I found a lewd sign in the room as well... :rolleyes:
  18. I just went through the tutorial, and I got to say the build team did a great job. What I liked a lot was the wastelands section!
    I was listening to this music while I was exploring the tutorial::D

    What I have learned from going through this is that I have a habit of making my builds overly done. I also saw limited uses of irregularly-shaped blocks, like fences, stairs and slabs. I see other build teams use these blocks a lot to implement more depth info their builds. But sometimes it can get messy, especially with the medieval ones.

    Finally, I want to thank the EMC build team and/or staff for providing info about extras, like the forums and the Mumble software. I hope more people will be using the forums which will help me and many others!!

  19. The tutorial is so grand and so cool! I love the giant mine with the tunnels, the facade buildings to look like Town reses, the fact that there's a massive globe just as an extra! When krysyyjane9191 said the previous tutorial didn't count as a proper one, I really didn't get what she meant, because I thought it was quite cool, with all the rooms depicting chat noise, x-ray texture packs, etc., but this new one - this is like a whole adventure map! You know, like the really well-designed ones, by hypixel or someone. In fact, the build team should really make adventure maps; they seem cut out for it. That could even be a special EMC game, as in not a publicly released map, but an exclusive map you can tp to from Town or something. I don't know, they probably have other work to do; just a thought. Anyway, you guys did a fantastic job, and I'm more excited than ever to see what comes next!
  20. Hey guys, did you know rule 3 and 4 are identical on the site? :D
