Too much shit in the background moving around and flashing for that to work I think.

@Carnix and Alexfili - There's one major flaw with doing what you suggest: The logo is 4 different blocks - Since the scene is taken from the side, part of the logo would be visible on two of the side blocks because of the simplistic way that textures work in Minecraft (one 16x16 graphic which is tiled). As far as I know, there isn't a way to show the logo on only one side of blocks. Yes, I could shoot it from the front but I think it wouldn't look anywhere near as good as a side shot - especially since the barrel would obscure the view of the back pistons that "hold the barrel in place".

Yay, Minecraft limitations again. Also as Havoc said there's a lot of things moving about in the background - While it wouldn't be impossible to get the timing correct, it'd be very difficult.

But thanks for the suggestions anyway. :)

EDIT: Here's a screenshot to illustrate what I mean:

You could retexture blocks with faces, like pumpkins.

Oh right. I thought you would just have the rupture farms logo as a 2x2 painting. But at least we're making progress. Good work so far :)

Compatible blocks for this would be Bookshelves, Crafting Tables, Furnaces, Dispensers, Pumpkins and Jack'O'Lanterns. Plenty to work with.

Surely the piston would break the painting?

Yeah, I had a look at that after Phylum suggested it, yet another thing that didn't occur to me (derp). There is still a timing problem though...

I'll have to think about it.

'You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to DarkHoodness again.'

I'll gladly take some of that reputation off your hands.

Oh man that's grim! The pig sorta looks around all scared before it gets skish'd and then when the smoke comes out, that just makes the entire scene! +rep and much love man.

Not when I'm finally over you, oh no you don't.

You're over me? :(

But we had such a wonderful future lined up. :(

You have loads already!

Sorry, I now prefer to spend my time under a sweaty pile of Nate, WoF and OANST.

While Chuck Norris watches.

Aaaaand this is getting worryingly off topic, gents.

It's funny 'cause the Admin started it.

I have faith that this project can weather a bit of tomfoolery. It's even looking likely that this'll see completion, a sadly rare occurrence here. Bravo, Hoodness. Bravo indeed.

Don't fucking jinx it!! :fuzmad:

Don't worry I intend fully to finish what I started. :) I don't pour this much effort into something simply to abandon it later - Unless many people lose interest. Currently it seems to be quite popular. :) Even if I don't end up finishing the planned adventure map, then at least the intro re-creation will be completed. But I have plans. Lots of plans. Oh yes.

But yeah, thanks for your continued support, guys - You make this worth doing! :)

EDIT: Oh yeah I will mention that this project has already survived a hacker attack and a near-loss of the world files. It's gonna take a mix of circumstances to kill it off.

No problem. We have just as much as fun as you do!

What if you get hit by a bus tommorow? :tard:

Ah, I see that bus drivers license finally paid off eh Havoc? ;)
Don't worry. There are plenty of movie makers who can finish this project, if worst comes to worst. Both me and crashpunk have experience with capturing video.

Yeah. All of Hoodness' work here is public. In the event of his death, nothing stops one or a group of us from finishing this is his memory.

Let's finish it without him anyway!

Not everyone has the same level of attention to detail as I do - Or are crazy enough to spend ages and ages in this game doing what I've done so far (mostly 'cause they have better things to do, unlike me... lol). Nor are they perfectionists who spend ages making sure everything as good as they can possibly make it... And that's why it's taken me 5-6 months. Well, that and I didn't have access to survival mode until 1.0 came out. :P

Still, it's nearly done - There's a couple of easy shots to re-take and there's the boardroom scene to shoot.

EDIT: I would have liked to film the boardroom scene on Saturday and I posted an announcement here advertising so, but looks like people are too busy.

It will, however, be postponed until after Christmas, so if people can tell me when they are free so I can better judge when to hold this event, it would be a great help to me and this project can finally be done. :)

I can't make it unfortunately. :(

I'd love to make it but I'll be at my GF. I'll jump on if I can but don't count on me.

Not looking good so far, I may postpone it but we'll see closer to the day, perhaps I should give more notice.

Oh yeah and I've had a look - For ages I've considered RF to be far too small for what I've been planning, believe it or not. For the adventure map, I plan to extend the building of RF lengthways up to as far as the edge of El'Scrabino's area - Although it'll mean building over his world hole that he dug. Also I'll move Dripik's treehouse...

I won't be doing that just yet though, there's far more important things to do first regarding the movie, but it's an idea I've had.

I sadly can't make it :(
I'm going away for 9 days for Christmas.

I have something on tomorrow morning, so I can't make it.

Looks like we'll have to do the boardroom scene some other day.
We can just focus on shooting some of the other scenes instead.

I guess skinning creepers are glukkons would be a bit too dangerous to try?

There should be a plugin that make creepers non-aggressive but they'll still be moving around and jumping places they shouldn't be.

Well I've postponed it until after Christmas - And as I said in the edited post above, can people let me know when they'd be free? That way I can better judge when to hold this event. :)

Hmm, suppose I could re-skin testificates or something if getting 9 people together is impossible. Lots of people showed up for the Exoddus opening, though.

The 27th is the only day that isn't good for me.

If we could keep 9:00pm that would be wonderful, as that's not too early for me. I still have to wake up at around 7am, but I can live with that.

Well the 27th is the day I get back so I'd recommend the 28th if that's good for other people.

I don't think I'm busy any day after Christmas.

Actually... there is a plugin that lets players disguise as mobs, including creepers. If you reskin the Creeper you won't have the problem with arms being in the way, they'd be more Glukkon like (and the irony of having the antagonist of Minecraft be the antagonist of Oddworld). Could be useful.

I'll be available again from the 3rd Jan onwards.

Sounds fantastic.

Haatfilms used that disguise plugin to make the Minecon trailer. Its really good.

That's not irony. That's the opposite of irony. The polar opposite, complete 100% flipside lack of irony.

How ironic. That response was completely appropriate.
