Im sorry *huggles* Im just a stubborn perfectionist, and I also just realized garden is acutally 4 times bigger then what "I" got ><, and this is taking all of us ages, we got 'alot' more done compared to the last pictures you can find more up to date pictures here sadly even that isnt up to date enough to where it is now XD We have a video (because pictures were taking to long) that me and selphie recorded so Im ganna post that up soon.
As for crashes, yeah we had a few of those...>> specially when my one friend tsuko's messed with the music box in the ballroom, found out after with an update it was a common minecraft glitch (which is fixed now) yay for backup server files XD I got like 5 all over the place.
Also if you want to help you can join us ya know, let me know and Ill send you the IP to it(I port forward cause everybody else I know has issues with the ip programs), sadly the timeframe to work on it is between 7-8pm-6am cause I work/babysit the rest of the time until I get off my lazy butt and put it on my tower instead of my laptop (sadly it will run slower on the tower but bonus of no other programs running).
We also discovered having optifine helps a ton when making balamb, specially if you have an older computer, which I also gatta put on my tower.
Anyways I gatta go now I have idea's for the library that I wanna try and do now (you got me in the mood to work on balamb again XD) let me know if you wanna help! ja!
Anyways I gatta get off

Ahh well mine was a solo effort, and I was trying to do it from memory.
No messing around this time... I'm going bigger and better (just hope it don't crash the servers this time) I wish I had some help, but no-one has the time/knowledge, and I hate that it's all circles, Bloody circles!!!! In minecraft, so RRRRGH
Having offline is one thing, but I'm using SKCraft cos they have more materials to choose from.

Well actually if you look from the top of balamb on the world map it's not all circles, I have the basic shape and you can always visit and use my balamb as a reference.
Also best program to use is worldedit it can create circles for you, wish I had it when I started the project to start with world edit can also make orbs though I had to modify mine to have flatter domes, and trust me, it's soooo worth it once its done X3 and honestly if you do it right curves and circles look awesome on minecraft! XD
Anyways if you need more help let me know I'll post the link to the video when I get it up finally (haven't had time today to mess with the video but I should have time tommorow), so see ya!

the lifts a cylinder there's a ring around it, the lower walkway is a huge ring the outer wall of the hall is a circle. and the rotating disk in the sky is a hug snowflake ith a curout of a circle in the center.
And then you have the issue of the walkways to aKadowaki's office, the cafe, the garage and the library all being diagonals. These are things that is bloody dificult to do in Minecraft.

actually diagonals are easier then you would think honestly its the windows on the celing in the hallways that gave me issues XP
And again world edit will make circles for you, its alot easier then youd think.
the hardest part of the garden will be making the outer shell -_-; thats what I find to be the hardest in all of balamb, its why its not done yet XD
But like I said I can let you peak at mine if you want a reference I dont mind X3 but remember mines on teh smaller scale sadly, while the hallways are the right size they arent the right length T_T ah well I'll make another one years from now XD

I don't have world edit. I made mine all by hand, twice, on my own and the maps keep boody crashing... so I quit: you win your map will forever be greater than mne cos mine can't survive a day before it kicks me out and I have to start over.
The whole thing has gotten me pretty worn out and depressed, and now Balamb garden AND minecraft have become a tainted memory for me.
So I have to quit.

awwww *huggles* dont give up! there were plenty of times I wanted to give up but didnt!
For example when I had to redo my balamb cause when I started it I built it out of bedrock cause of a mod I saw and wanted to use.....and yeah I couldnt model anything correctly because of it so I had to start all over from scratch, then when we built the dome to the dormitory's thats what we thought and built it as....a dome....and yeah we were done with how we wanted it 'completely' when I found out its not shaped like a dome in game...I cried so badly....I didnt even have the heart to destory i I was so depressed (had a friend do it) and even then it took us even longer to build and shape the new dormitories! and dont get me started on the main entrance! I did that over 5 times! one time I was done with it, but a friend who was learning world edit messed up the main dome(where the pathways connect and the elevators are) when clearing out underneight it and I had to upload an old server folder and redo 'everything' that I 'just' did, then we discovred there was three extra domes that you cant get to in game but you see during the fmv sequences and on the world map....and the domes we had before were to cicley so we had to redo shape those.... ugh @_@ so many times I wanted to give up! but Im to stubborn to give up, and with my being a perfectionist when it comes to my art and building.....I redid it, hell the teirs above the 2nd floor I had to redo over again because it wasnt high enough or shapped right! so I had to redo those now....@_@ I havnt yet though because I wanna do everything else first...>> I had to redo the whole second floor too I had it on the wrong teir at first...and that was not fun also, I 'just' finished all the hallways and classrooms then too, and I didnt even have world edit yet....all that was done by hand the only things that arent done by hand are probably the emptying of the basement and the training centers circle....>> and some deleting of land of hte landscape, for some odd reason I keep thinking to do everything by hand instead of using worldedit like I know I should....
but anyways have you ever thought to make a copy of your balamb world folder every time you take a break? I know that was the only thing that saved my balamb when I started (I dont know how many times my server crashed on me ><) also what helps is to dedicate alot of ram to your server by making a new server file or whatever and saving over the old one, once I gave it about 2-3gb it stopped crashing except for that one time my friend accidently did the known ingame musicbox crash.
I also noticed the more you build the more everything takes to render...>> my garden is at the point now that it takes forever to render and you can now see hte void because of it...I wish there was a way to fix it besides starting over....>>
But anyways if you ever do want to play again you are always welcome to my balamb and hey maybe by then we'll be done and you can enjoy the gameplay we have planned for it X3
