Fixed a little tongue-twister of a typo for the NPC musicians. Should make sense now.

Glad I gave you an idea. Hopefully we can both fiddle with both of our ideas to have our musical sides play out. Nice pool tables would be sweet + juke boxes and all that. I bet we're eventually going to reach this stage once we allow Rising World to mature to its completed state.

-----------

I bet people are unaware that they really want this feature. I've seen people having fun in Star War Galaxie's Cantina just messing about while also seeing my comrades (net buddies) mess about with musical instruments that played a preset track in Phantasy Star Online 2. Same when hanging out in Animal Crossing: New Leaf in Club LOL (404) with DJ KK. The actual instruments you can purchase & collect in ACNL to start your own mini-band. People do want it, just seems they're more focused on wanting survival (biomes, water, & etc) which I completely understand & agree with. They want their survival features, yet subconsciously also desiring their musical side of things heh. Not now, but in the few months after these updates shall settle. What I'm also suggesting this because I've seen quite a number of people messing about with Minecraft's note blocks.

Now imagine people fiddling around with these NPC musicans in the way they do with those music blocks. More so when they have the command of a conductor to play out musical pieces in a unified manner, yet playing their own piece heh. All this in a condensed space while making use of music sheets for them to play things out like juke box or music box. No need for chunks upon chunks of space. Rising World should happily allow this for both the musican & those that build & travel. Rising World is this powerful.

Basically wanted to suggest something that may or may not already be on the list. Basically posting this in the context & example of Star Wars Galaxies use of entertainer & Cantina; Phantasy Star Online 2 use of instruments; Animal Crossing: New Leaf's DJ area at night.

Basically wanting to suggest NPCs being able to learn music while also being able to perform for you when reading from sheet music. You'd be surprised how popular or fun composing music is in these sorts of games. Any game really. I'm recommending the following to also compress the space that Minecraft wasted with the music blocks into something that's more into paper, menus, and NPCs.

1) NPC Musicians: It be sweet if we could teach musicans to play for us at a cantina when the players won't be able to. Just hand the NPC a sheet music they'll use as a request to then make them play for you. Would be overly handy to do this from a conductor NPC who controls the other NPC holding instruments to play a mini-concert to an orchestra. They would put on performances for us players. Compared to Minecraft, they would be a condensed form of music blocks.

2) Sheet music: Basically using the book feature in this game by also allowing us to write down the instrument's key presses when timed for the NPCs to play it out themselves for us. This would spawn live concerts, cantina builds, and etc by also having those on servers hear other people's taste in music.

Seeing the piano has me assuming that Red51 shall eventually expand on the instrument choices to add trumpets, violins, trumbones, drums & etc. I'm also wanting to eventually find myself building a "Sharatang Concert Hall" that I failed to do in Minecraft thanks to how blocky the music blocks would be. WIth how powerful Rising World is this would be a proper place to take advantage of in a vanilla manner. More so in a modded manner. Now suggesting this lightly with the main mood now gone. Still posting it for future inspiration.

I'd love to take a stroll in that lovely pond area. Same with making use of that little boat

I'm just wanting to help any foreign mixing up their words because reading mix-up is just cringe-worthy. I know I'm no expert on English grammar because I also tend to make loads of mistakes myself, yet wanted to combat the misuse of 'you're' & 'your' swapping. I tried helping some folks before with them becoming overly hostile trying to point out my flaws instead of politely making note to better themselves. Even so, I'm wanting to help foreign folks use the correct English words in proper places.

-------

- Your - Used in personal possession, not location. (That's 'your' item & place)
- You're - Basically means "you are" (You are happy; You are sad; You are mad; You are over there!)
- There - This basically means a location & place (Germany is over there! Look! Over there! Above Italy!)
- Their - Used to describe someone's possession (That's their property with their food inside. Their car looks awesome!)
- Weather - The climate of an area that mentions if it's sunny or not.
- Whether - A choice one has to make in whether they have to go to the English forum or whether they should have fun in the German forum.
- Peace - Think of the groovy 60's with how peace is something with no war.
- Piece - Basically an item smashed into little bits or little parts of said item laying around.
- Then - Used to continue a sentence & story ("I first played Minecraft, then I played Rising World)
- Than - Used to compare one thing to another. (Is Minecraft better than Rising World?)
- To - Used to bring up location (He went to Germany because it's fun).
- Too - Used to describe something in addition or in excess.

I'm seeing both foreigners & native English speakers mixing up the first 4 in the list that it becomes overly irritating. I'm only trying to help, even knowing my command of the English grammar is both strong & weak at the same time.

Finally able to see that truck. Love it! Now expecting those kinds (Euro, JP, & NA types) in the game, more so that my American buddy can become a trucker in this game. Nice one, Yagiggle!

Nice! Loving what Red mentioned. Horses to take care of while having fun in biomes heh. Please! Please make those horses swim! Make them swim, as they do in Lego Worlds, instead of flicking you off like in Minecraft. Found that silly in MC.

Red teased about trains that both confirmed, yet kept things in the air heh. I guess he doesn't want to over-promise so we'd curse at him when they don't find their way in.

Red51: Different types are planned, at least in the long run

This is sweet . This game has insane amounts of potential and possibilities that it's making all of us gitty. I hope I find myself playing the game coming this September. I want to catch it around the time water comes in.

You're welcome! Nice to hear that

Haha! Makes sense having fun hanging proudly on the wall instead of in the game. Something to share in screenshots when one can

Quote from Russ

Thank you for the tip's and I also like white color buildings, tomorrow I will go back and finish the insides of each building + plant some tree's or make a Garden too try and make it look nicer & I cant wait too see - Arcticu City your plans are Awesome!

Sweet! You're very welcome. You don't have to do exactly what I say, just that they're some nice tips to add. I'd wait for the biome update to consider adding gardens & lining the road with the different plants that may or may not be in there. Looking forward to your next city update with the tips

Thanks! I'm really itching to jump in. It's a shame this year sucks for me by also holding me back. I'll share my images whenever the year feels kinder. Glad to hear you're looking forward to the rise of Arcticu City.

Awesome stuff. My little tip from Minecraft that I'm sure can be carried over into Rising World would be to focus on one building at a time while allowing the roads to flow with your construction. Try & plot ahead by even considering adding hedges (when the updates allow) to line the road. Trees also. Other than that, nice stuff.

My more casual suggestion would be to try and make 'colourful' buildings by going white & a bright colour. Adding colour would add some form of beauty to the city other than the grey.

I took a guess with biomes being given an August release with water being given a September release. Blueprints seem to be up there also being in the either two months I mentioned.

*Rubbing hands in excitement* - This should be fun!

This is a neat update. Glad the poster image sync shall be fixed for one and all to see. Looking forward to the next, then a biome update after such.

Just like the Italian, this is overly awesome. The more 'ruralness' of it makes it feel all that more awesome. I'd love to visit. lol @ flying into the bathroom. Make an outdoor pool?

A lot of care & attention to detail in this one. I love it.

Alright, to add onto the first 2 posts (which I also 'cleaned' up to clarify points) here is another posting showing a bit of what I'm aiming for in this mod. This posting should 'hopefully' clarify where I'm trying to go with this mod idea while also trying to pay my respects to the RCN of WW2 in an Animefied manner, and other people's more actual ship vessel manner. Again, I understand if this comes out weird for those not into Anime, possibly even scaring people away some more.

I had to use HaremMate's character creation to give female appearances to HMCS Prince Robert, HMCS Prince Henry, & HMCS Prince David because I can't draw humanoids. Had to use HM because I can't draw to save my life, yet the head portion being what matters most here. I'm also assuming that I'll end up using Red51's NPC Traders in the end when all else fails while trying to get same or similar hairstyle in there. If I get lucky someone shall simply model up & texutre what needs to be done in finer & more appropriate detailing....

No uniform or weaponry yet because I'm still trying to make sure it reflects their service.....I'll most likely have to give them nicknames on the girl-sounding side of things.

-----

- RCN - KanColle Side - The Three Princes:

[The hairstyle of these three 'Princes' being the same in dark brown colour while being roughly of the same length. I pictured these trio to have proud elegant flowing hair, if at a more 'manageable' level by tying up some. These ladies may end up having to follow Rising World's character customization rules so eyes shall be more in RW style.]

- HMCS Prince Robert - [AMC/AA]:
Gave her a 'clean' hair-style with twin pony-tails because of her known 'serious' & obedience. All the 'convicts' made to obey overly strict rules while fighting & serving proudly. She happily captured a German merchant vessel 'Weser' in & around Peru. She'll find herself wearing a German pin on her uniform to reflect the capture of 'Weser'. A proud ship girl having served in the Atlantic, more so in the Pacific.

- HMCS Prince Henry - [AMC/ISC]:
Gave Henry a more KanColle 'Naka' vibe to her. A more upbeat, yet still more 'silent' personality. Not much to note, except that she rescued survivors from Haiti area.

- HMCS Prince David - [AMC/ISC] -
Similar to Robert in seriousness, yet more 'saucy' in personality. She cautiously & intelligently stalked a few German vessels causing one to burn & another to vainly be scuttled when trying to rescue it. She also was featured in a war movie "Commandos Strike At Dawn" which could possibly be seen in her appearance. Lastly, her front hair bit should reflect her 'buoy' incident when she let one out to navigate the brutal Alaskian waters with another ship blasting it to bits assuming it was an enemy submarine's periscope.

Well....I'm still going to believe that if this RCN mod does gain modding ground then I'd consider that a miracle. Hoping for helping hands & support with this. I'll say again that I'll of course accept actual RCN vessels from WW2 to be added, but treated as eastereggs. With the way RW's AI works would require you to sortie with them to accomplish anything.

From what I saw there's nothing newbish about it. It's awesome! I sadly couldn't see much on my end but what I could makes me want to praise you highly.

Edit: Finally saw it properly now with it being overly awesome. Loving the little train that I can still raise my praises.

Sounds good. I think from there I'd have to find a way to make use of Red51's NPC Trader idea by using them, bringing them out, then back in with the modded equipment to make them usable as their own little thing. Adding your modded miniature equipment onto them somehow.... Even having vessels to go along it would be sweet as a little side addition. I guess I can justify it by joining them on attack sorties to command, assist, and loot from the dead 'corpses/wrecks' type stuff because their AI wouldn't be that complex in the RTS or Rimworld manner to harvest & such. Always needing to 'babysit' them.

I guess if you stick around long enough I'd love to see you commanding the HMCS Ontario while I'd command HMCS Haida. Would be interesting when on the other side of this. Seeing as how this is 'original' on the RCN, I'm curious about how to treat the enemy. That I can probably give freedom to whom ever wants to design such.

(Guess I'm dealing with the ladies & you're dealing with ships & equipment. That's fine.)

I've known people to spam it to non-existence. It's too much of a hassle when you get random trolls to ruin things. There's a few stalking Steam forums but they're being efficiently weeded out. My blog had one and it was spammed by stupid people. Same with a gaming site. If it's kept to profile statuses then people can talk slowly through that, or simply & more efficiently have these sorts of threads.

It's because of the idiotic kids & trolls that we can't have nice things. We can have what you're asking for but it always comes back to us humans being pathetic & bored when trolling.

It's a great idea, just that we humans are too stupid for such a simple & neat idea.

I assumed such, yet also assumed you wanted to help with the KanColle spin-off by assisting in adding the RCN as ship girls. I did say "ship girls" in first post, but I guess I didn't stress it out as needed. Need to edit my first post again. I also apologies with my wording with it tending to sound like crap at times. Edited the first post slightly to try and have the 'proper' wording this time around.

I'm wanting to design actual ship girls (humans with turrets while wearing uniforms on them) while making use of the resources I posted in the first posting & the above posting. Basically giving the actual ships a human female appearance with miniature ship parts & weaponry on them. That's something I'm wanting to do through HaremMate for character + sketching weapons on paper in designing them while trying to merge both together to 3D model up to be done by either you (since you volunteered) and/or a fellow anime hobbiest in another community. Outside input on that being welcomed, just as long as it's from a fellow Canadian.

Actual Ship -> As I assumed, you wanted to design the actual ship. I do want to see Rising World with an actual WW2 vessels (both actual ship & in KanColle shipgirl) form so that's something we could poke around, if you so desire, with me being just as happy to have them in. Both the actual ship & ship girl form. I'd expect the actual progress of this mod to be made in 2016 with me simply focused on designs of these ship girls + waiting up on Rising World to update & my issues to be fixed. I want it mainly to be about that KanColle spin-off, but I guess it (the actual ships) is something we can play with on the side when water is finally added into the game.

What's your say? I'd assume that making the actual ship would be much easier, but I'd also eventually need to make the Animefied ship girls for this mod's purpose. Do what you want while taking as much time as you need seeing as how I need the biome + water update in this game to even try adding them in. I'm taking my time on my end to carefully design them in the Animefied manner until Rising World is fully ready for these lovely ladies, and possibly actual vessels.

I remember Red mentioning that he wanted to give us something pre-built, yet can be customized, so I'm suggesting stuff along those lines.

I want to the be able to place the shell of the vehicle (cars, trucks, bikes, boats, trains, & etc) somewhere outside among the scenery to work on it. Cars would be in people's garages while boats would be in a dry-dock, and trains in a station yard, or similar. Basically having to build the motor, doors, windows & etc to then apply paint colour when you're done. Possibly even going as far as adding decals (Silent Hunter 3 style) onto your vehicle.

I want the satisfaction & weight that these vehicles are actually vehicles, not some useless item you build and leave. It should be proudly placed in the scenery to build up while finally allowing them to travel wherever you go. Carrying them shouldn't be an option, unless it's a canoe or a bike. Vehicles should need trains, boats, & planes to carry one another around.

Sweet! Well, I'd design them first in 2D then we can try nudging it into 3D? I myself shall end up using HaremMate (even if +18 perverted) for the character customization while possibly sketching out the turrets and such to place. HaremMate would be something to step up on in design hmm....

KanColle sizes:

--------

For HMCS Ontario I'd say she could borrow from KanColle's cruiser line in style. http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki…ss#Light_Cruiser_.28CL.29

Have any styles in mind? Both the maple leaf emblem & the Trillium would have to be found on her uniform and possibly the hat. I would vote on going for Tenryuu & Katori's size with Katori's styled uniform hmm. Even the Agano classes seem like a good inspiration point. All those weaponry.Image 3, 4 & 6 being interesting for the uniform of choices in the attachments.

As for references:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMCS_Ontario_(C53)

Images in the attached files. Wish I could have checked your signature link. I can't view it directly with my net being filtered (more being d/c'ed). Take your time because I'm waiting for Rising World to mature so you can fiddle with whatever you want. I also need proper access to Rising World.

HMCS Ontario Model:

Oh wow....People sure are touchy about Minecraft. I'm still having fun with Minecraft that this game can still learn a few things from it. I'm sure it has, yet can use more. Careful not to poke people's eyes out in Anti-Minecraft hate or bias

Compass works, or so I'm seeing. I did suggest that the desktop computer be made usable while being able to 'download' explored maps onto it from the GPS type tablet to be able to view the map as a whole. The GPS being somewhat more simplified in how one views maps. Basically using the GPS to explore to then piece together the puzzle on the desktop computer while viewing the explored chunks into it to view a Google Maps styled rendering. That's for the modern age. GPS itself was latched onto by Red so not sure where that shall go. Maps themselves Red is saying he wants to add while leaving me stumped as to how one will be able to view maps on a desktop computer object, a tablet (if any), and the GPS itself hmm...

My suggestion from Minecraft to Rising World is to make use of Minecraft's Google maps feature that Forge mod sites tend to have. Those maps that update ever 5-10 minutes so you can view them in the game while using desktop computers, tablets, & GPS. Just trying to help.
