zfoxfire — for the uninitiated, what is a "cracked copy"?

I'm a noob YouTuber and it never even occurred to me that there could a copyright infringement from doing a "let's play" video. (I should know something about copyright since I work in publishing—but this got by me.) Since don't monetize my channel (LOL that's a hoot!) I should think there wouldn't be an issue ... but I'm curious now.

I've not been able to record (or even play) since the end of July. Work and personal life has been crazy busy of late. But I do intend to get back to it on a semi-regular basis. You can see my build here: https://www.youtube.com/playli…921VRrITrj8E9E85aCOiY2Y1H I'm building a particular Tudor era Manor House that has connections to my ancestry. It is mainly a fun personal project, and I thought I'd record the process mostly for me and my family—but if others want to watch, so much the better.

Nice! I like how you snuck the Heron out there by the pond.

Beautiful castle! Must have taken a long time.

Really, really nice build! Very creative, and great use of lighting.

And I'm also playing RW and writing a little in-character journal of this particular game, documenting my faceless character's life as a cave dweller. It's been fun and, well, it'll be an interesting kind of read later, when more content comes in and I go and look back at what was already possible even now.

I hope you will share your character's journal at some point. I bet that will be a fun read!

you can visit Foxbox

Thanks! I will.

The balloon is amazing! HOW??? Also how were the animals on the carousel made? Is there a giraffe texture??

Quote from Harv

Having said all that, I appreciate your comments, and as Deirdre points out, there are already others out there who may not think as much about structural integrity as we do.

Love this thread. I like to approach building more like a builder too. (Having never played Minecraft—and boy you can sure tell the difference!)

I like your stick-built building. The only thing I see wrong is balancing your 10 x10 post on top of a 4x4, and a door header!!! LOL. But hey, we can do that here. Pixels are weightless (so far!).

I like the "real world" physics of Mechanical Engineers, where if it isn't properly supported things fall down. (I can't play ME since I'm on a Mac, but I've watched it on YT.) That would add a challenge to RW!

Yeah. It's not exactly intuitive! We eventually figure it out, which I 'guess' is half the fun?

That's beautiful! Is that snow-covered grass you used for the water at the top of the fountain?

Thanks. No that's three different .png images of fountain water, placed on small pieces of glass set on angles.

Thanks!

Well. I tried removing the line with the Chair reference from the db of my PRACTICE world. The game then doesn't even see that world in the open world menu—i guess I broke the db(copy).
EDIT: Yes, I just opened in a text editor and deleted the line from the practice world with the line like this:
;;G]Volpi Matilde Chair.objVolpi Matilde Chair.jpg-6280.224 62.77908 -2614.58457.642742E-15 8.742278E-8 8.742278E-8 1.0?`bM“Ò©¸
}

So I guess you'd have to be a programmer to know how to edit the db. clearly I should stay away!

However, I just removed the chair's files from the ObjectLoader plugin asset file, and my world (both of them) open fine and the chair is gone. Whew!

If I insert any more objects it will just be in my practice world. Lesson learned!

Dagoline—the couch and chair look great, though!

Quote from Minotorious

the object position is saved in a file (probably in the plugin directory, probably a .db file) if you open it you can manually delete the entries and the object will be gone

Scary. My world db has these lines:
;;G]Volpi Matilde Chair.objVolpi Matilde Chair.jpg-6280.224 62.77908 -2614.58457.642742E-15 8.742278E-8 8.742278E-8 1.0?`bM“Ò©¸
}

I guess I could make a back up copy of the world db then remove the lines with the Chair and try that file as the world... Scares the crap out of me though.
What if I just remove the plugin and the items?
Either way I guess I should back up my World db.

Yes. I am a fool!

I do hope Kryssi79 can help! Otherwise I guess I have a chair in the garden.

Dagoline,

You have been so helpful. I did try to scale the chair as you suggested to .002. The chair now places, but the center point is now way off. Since I didn't create the object I don't know how to fix that. I also see that the jpg I chose for the texture covers the whole chair. If there is more than one texture to be applied I don't know how I would do it. I have put a video here that shows how this is very odd when trying to place the object.

And I have linked to my object files so that you can download them if you want.

But the bigger problem now is HOW DO I DELETE the chair from my world???? I fist placed it in my practice world, but then I decided to try in my real build. Mistake! How can I remove the chair???

I should probably leave this fancy object placing to the big boys.

Can you help me remove the chair?

Also this is what is in the .mtl file: (I wonder what it does?)

Quote from dagoline

your .model file is correct, this objects are away to big - you need to scale down 0.001 - 0.002,

(couch: verts:88.000 faces:88.000 Tris: 177.000 - thats as much or more than your whole Wollaton Hall )

Ah. So much for complex furniture, huh? Oh well. Maybe someday. The flat square couch is just not very appropriate to my build. Too bad. I guess I can try building them in game. (Laughs)

I know this isn't a building but I want to show it off anyway. I am building Wollaton Hall (in Nottingham, UK) and it's a huge project, for me. Bored with building, so tackled this decorative pond and fountain. I hope we get water lilies some day! (and moving water of course)

I tried Minotorius's suggestion and wrote the .model doc for my chair object.
Hopefully I did that right:
model:Volpi Matilde Chair.obj
texture:Volpi Matilde Chair.jpg
rx:0
scale:1.00

My object has that name and I replace the .mtl texture file with my jpg. It does show up in the dialogbox list! But when I try to place the object I get this message:
Nu kannest du deine 3D objekte laden.

So, I guess it doesn't like the object. The chair file is 5mb. Which is large, I guess, but I don't know what else may be wrong. Oh well, I will try again some later day.

Today however the Commode and Buch I placed did not stay in the game after I closed and reopened the game. This game world is set up in Survival, but I change it to Creative to build. I guess the placed object just won't work in a survival world? However they do stay in another game (set up in creative). I can't change the game permanently to creative if I first set it up in survival.

Oh my!!! That is fantastic. Love it. Let's see Hobbiton and Mordor next!
