Jack's building thread

[-=Jack=-]

Hello!

First, I would like to say that there will be a lot of text and I’m not the native speaker, so I will be grateful if you will show patience.

The idea to "combine" few worlds together appeared in my head recently - with the announcement of patch 1.3 in the end of June. Apparently, no one done this before - that isn’t necessary while people will run only on one map. But since I do not pursue the goal of maintaining an online player, I do not need a reason to create a series of maps united by a common history, ports, airports, teleporters, highways and, of course, imagination.

Before we start the journey I wish to express my gratitude to the builders. This is a number of people who shared their ideas, maps and schematics on the official forums (the old one and this one). I have browsed at almost 3,000 posts but the collection of buildings that I would like to rebuild in my own worlds I began to collect long before. In view of this, nicknames or names of the authors of a number of buildings that I have used I do not know - I was taking pictures of the issuance of Google (imgur, imageshack, etc.) long before the idea of the project born in my mind. Below I will give a list of people whose ideas, in addition to my own, I have used. These could be the whole constructions, or some parts of the buildings, some of their elements (such as roofs, walls, stairs, floors, fireplaces, fountains, etc.). I looked into some buildings and saw something of my own (for example, in a tiny black shack, I "saw" the statue of the imp) and I’m grateful to such buildings’ authors too. Moreover, there is a number of buildings and elements i have never use (but wanted to) in my worlds for some reasons, or which just inspire me to create something. The authors of such buildings, statues and pixel-arts I also cannot fail to mention.

Spoiler: Attention! The list is really long!

These "worlds" will appear thanks to:

A few words about the timing of the project. I spent less time than it might seem, though, that I was/I’m "working" alone. For the layout of the worlds and development of their concepts have been spent a couple of days. I spent two more weeks to systematize the collected screenshots, maps and schemes (about 90% of which were partially or completely nonworking either in the game or in TEdit - I am using only TEdit and Creation mode, no other mods or addons). Another couple of days I have been collecting items from authors’ worlds into my temporary world “The Piggy Bank” to have quick access to their elements. Direct construction is going unhurriedly (but with accelerated pace it might take a month and a half or so). One more thing: i will NEVER show the works i haven't finish yet.

So, with the introduction is over, now move on to the fun part!

There is no certain "core world", i.e., there is no a world in which there is some storage for items and accessories, with hotel to all the NPCs, there are no especially defeated bosses, no special places to fight invasions, and there is no a house which is considered "truly yours". However, all these worlds are in hardmode, most of meteors fallen down too.

There is fantastic steampunk next to the achievements of the space age which have common borders with backward settlements. For someone it’s just easier (or so ancestors bequeathed!) to use steam instead of lasers, goats instead of tractors, slaves instead of cranes, and hands instead of brain! All my "combined" worlds can be roughly classified into four poles of society: the World of steampunk, the World of high-tech, the World of mechanics (more or less in line with our realities) and the World of magic. At the junction of these worlds take place traveling on water, air and ground machines, and somewhere you have to overcome the volcano to get to the desired location.

Spoiler: The world of eternal Halloween

The world of eternal Halloween
The very first world of this “universe”, you can say it’s a touchtone. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is among my favorite cartoons. Therefore, I shamelessly moved a fairly well-known village here almost unchanged. Also you will find here a lot of famous "haunted houses." Of course, there are also many cemeteries. The dead here are wayward guys, so any necromancers-slaveholders are not allowed her on a gun shot. VIVE LE HALLOWEEN LIBRE!

It is the very first construction on the map, the right border of the map. I tried ti reproduct the Darkest Dungeon's city. Well... I'm not the Building Master, and still i like it According to my "lore" this city is abandoned due to constant attacks of monsters, witches and other sweet people, huh.

Just a mansion. With underground crypt.

Next to the mansion there is the blacksmith's working place. A moody guy and all kind of zombies know that veeeeeery weeeeeell >:-]

Just a house with barn.

Abandoned spooky village, necromancer on the graveyard and the well with dead people. Nothing unusual.

Just a beautiful in its simpleness manor i have found somewhere in Google.

Another spooky mansion. Well, there lives a beautiful dead woman :3

I believe, you all know this beautiful city. It's the main reason I created this thematic world. I really love this Tim Burton's city and its Terraria adoptation.

Another Halloween-based city. It's less known to people and still it is beautiful. The city with Skellington's house i just copy-pasted from the open source, and this one i have rebuilt in my own. It took near two days. Well... Could be faster, but i have some other things to do in my life too

Detalized city. It's huge, so be ready.

More interesting entrance to dungeon.

One of my favorite. Creepy manor with happy party basement :3

Another pretty well known manor rebuilt by me.

I'm REALLY bad at pixel art, and this Necromancer from Darkest Dungeon (i believe) is the first and the last try. Well, i reall like DD. According to "lore" Necromancer attacks the last untached human bastion on this island.

Detailed Necromancer.

On the outskirts of all this horror can be seen a "normal" village-stronghold. In the real world the dead do not bite but in Terraria all is a bit different, he-he, so people here defend themselves on all fronts. The chances of these guys to live their days happily (or at least TO LIVE) assessed as high: the robbed and gloomy styled village from Darkest Dungeon for obvious reasons should motivate survivors on the opposite beach of the island! Especially since the Necromancer is already at the door.

In my latitudes, Halloween is not celebrated in the traditional sense - it is nothing more than another excuse for people to get theirs Irish on. And the local "feast of the dead, spirits and other supernatural things" is not so interesting because of the lack of promotion – it is an ancient pagan festival with national coloring. Therefore, I wanted to have on hand a bright mystical celebration.

Spoiler: Industrial world

Industrial world.
It will be a world where working factories, the ore is mined and the oil is extracted. There are laboratories conducting various experiments. A number of buildings you can easily recognize thanks to the artist PuLSe.

Spoiler: World-polygon

World-polygon.
I am the anti-militarist, but the boys' love of rumbling metal has not passed over the years (and my institute's specialty is directly related to HUGE.MACHINES). Consequently, we will have on this map robot building plants, a lot of robots (special thanks to Kieve, the venerator of Mech Commander), tanks, helicopters, defense grids, defense systems, etc.

Spoiler: The world of space technology

The world of space technology.
Anyway, almost all the worlds presented are using technological progress. But this world, according to my "lore", is the forge of advanced technologies. There you can found shuttles, spaceships, rockets, and bioengineering laboratories. As you can see, not all of the experiments were successful (some disasters are strongly required in some games!). But personally I believe and hope for the future full clones and genetically modified people with cyber implants. I think, i'll start to build this world after 1.3 is released.

Spoiler: Snow world

Snow world.
Another personal preferences. I'm not a big fan of the Middle Ages with its chamber pots poured directly from the windows (it’s really difficult to love the time interval when the plague and the Inquisition are only a small part of your everyday problems, the list of which is not shorter than the list of authors above), but the rustic lifestyle seems to me tempting. When I was a child, my parents often sent me for the 300 kilometers away from civilization (to the village) for the summer or winter holidays. Thereat I perceive it as an exile, but eventually my brain took the right place. Give me a stable high-speed Internet connection in a remote village, and I'll be happy grazing, gardening, cooking food and so on whole the remaining time. Still I cherish the hope to move to a village because the distant work allows good living. Moreover, I love the snow and the frost (not too strong, of course). Outcome of love and hopes you will be able to see on this map. There is a place for dark thickets, gardens, cemeteries, anomalous zones, mysterious dungeons, and all manner of hiding-places. If you translate our national comic adage, you get something like "The Ukrainian night is quiet, but it is better to re-hide salo once more!"; salo is our national snack that is cooked in different ways (you can bake it, to cook it, to pickle in the freezer, or do some sort of pate), usually people eat it with borscht or with bread only and some green-stuff). Ah... ol' fart's talking huh.

Spoiler: World of desert

World of desert.
How can we live without pyramids?! I'm not a fan of the 50 degrees Celsius heat and link to the ankles in the sand does not appeal to me too, but when I was a child I dreamed of becoming an archaeologist. Could it be otherwise, when it’s Harrison Ford himself is looking for treasures and truth?! The world will be pretty small, and there are no various elements inherent to the standard Terraria world (like jungles on the surface or dungeons). This is just a place of antiquities, excavation and invasions of Somali pirates. There are anomalous zones where UFO has crashed, there is a market with stereotypical Middle Eastern vendors (actually they are even more annoying, believe me, you won't to walk through the bazaar!). I cannot create Shai-Hulud (as I said I am bad at pixel art), but it wouldn’t be amiss here.

Spoiler: World of steampunk

World of steampunk.
Well, it’s hard to consider these island as the World. A small village, a small town cemetery, a number of cars, the freeway with underground tunnels (unlike us, these people know that nature is friend, a quite capricious friend, but not an enemy, and certainly - not a slave). The island has its own mining industry, the fishing port; much of the food is grown on farms. Well, you will see it SOON™ (Valve time).

Spoiler: World of magic

World of might and magic.
World of magic does not rely on permanent faulty machines and exploding laboratories. The natives rely on the strength of will and mind. Hence all sorts of sorcerers with necromancers. However, excessive force often causes pride, and pride is pushing for a crime. It’s a direct way for the "good" and "evil" mages to appear, for their towers and castles, numerous hiding-places, treasuries, libraries, for the permanent war with the demons and each other. Nevertheless, good and evil are not equal to the light and the darkness. In this world a necromancer can be a good guy. So what that the "fire" and other "water" sorcerers condemn his methods?! In real world people often criticize the genetic engineering, but its fruits will enjoy almost everyone: a mother with a sick child, which can be saved only with organ transplantation from a clone, will refuse this way only if she is a fool or a deep believer (in my value system it is the same). The goal is not always justify the means, but everybody loves a winner, and the winner here is the necromancer and his rocky rat! Why? Because you, that's why!

Spoiler: World of attractions

World of attractions.
Just to be. I like the idea of space stations and it is one of them, albeit serves baser purposes. Coaster ride, fireworks, fast food, brothels, casinos, disco, theater. Yes, the cultural education is everything for us! Well, the journey to the World on a rocket is another adventure in itself. It will be ready closer to the end of this thread.

Spoiler: World Ocean

World Ocean.
Well, it won't be the world in the broadest sense. I perceive it more as the area between the two another worlds, another islands. A vessel proceeding from point A of a world A gets to point C of the world C between which there is the area B. This is it. From walking on the sea ships, flying through the sky airships, as well as shuttles traveling somewhere in the stratosphere. At the seafloor you'll be able to see the mistakes of navigators, the consequences of neglect with the forces of nature, the human stupidity in the form of war, etc.

Spoiler: World of Volcano Island

World of Volcano Island.
The second world-borderland. However, even here there will be a place for all sorts of experiments, geological exploration, treasure hunters, ghosts. At the foot of the volcano, you can find an aboriginal village poisoned with cargo cult. Moreover, such people really exist even nowadays. Sad picture for the world humanists, huh?.. However, my story has a happy ending: before the eruption, scientists from the World of high-tech wil build a protective dome over the settlement, and eventually will teach the aboriginals to enjoy the benefits of civilization. Well, let them to learn the toilet first, he-he.

Spoiler: Arenas

Arenas.
Arenas are few: few specialized arenas (separately for shooters, separately for melee) and a general-purpose arenas. You just can’t down from roller coaster to the brothels whole your life, you need the real testosterone sports too! Separately tried to rebuild some sort of football stadium. There is the ball in Terraria and the guns are there too. Therefore !!FUN!! may be real. For more !!FUN!! the lawn can be removed. Why? For the glory of Satan of course!

The world of demons, Crimson and Corruption will be there too but they are at the planning stage now.

​

So we are done with the presentation. Even though I had done serious work, but my unwitting co-workers is the whole army of people: some of them are still playing Terraria and still visit this forum, the others abandoned the game and the community, and some of the idea-holders were never show up themselves here. In view of this, I won’t upload the worlds to the Internet without the permission of the other artists.

BUT!

But since all the "borrowed" by me works were in the public domain earlier (in the form of schematics, maps, or just screenshots), I think the authors were aware that their work will be used. And people used them! While I was looking through the 125 pages of the old forum, I saw many structures wandering from the map to the map. But I believe that in my case will be right the next decision: if I get the consent of the most famous authors (PuLSe, Kieve, Daleksax, Baih, Rudoboy, oSIVo, Yoyi, Kablaouye, Enzym, TurtleYo, Wargod, Khaios , Marcus101RR, Anomaly0.01 and others whose workswell-knownby almost any Terrarian and have been used by me) to upload these maps, then I will do it immediately. Sampling of authors is such as is because it’s an impossible task to find ALL creators of the original content (some of idea-holders have only 1-5 posts at the forum back in 2012).

​

In addition, over time, the maps will be evolved. Perhaps someone would express any wish for the fact that he/she would like to see in these worlds, and I will add it. Maybe someone will build something itself and will "give" it to me. Maybe I'll decide to change or add something. Moreover, here and there probably will have their "hard work" meteorites, he-he. So by the time I get (and IF I get) the consent of the main idea-holders, the maps will be improved. And then... And then you are free to do with them as you see fit. It will be great and nice if it will be a mention somewhere of me and the rest of the authors (like a link to this thread).

In general, (telling you a secret on the entire Internet) I cherish the hope that someday someone will take my idea and run multiple servers with all these maps, creating a kind of role playing realm, where players will be free to disconnect any time from one island to connect the other with other players.

This is an interesting idea. As I have stated in my personal build thread, people are free to use my builds, so long as I'm credited. I like the list of credits, but I think you need to go a step further and credit specific builders next to any screenshots containing their work. Right now, with specific builds not associated specific builders, someone may like to know which name belongs to which build. While I do recognize most of these builds, and their creators, others may not. I dunno, just a thought. ^.^ And thank you for themeing a world off my build >.<

 

[-=Jack=-]

but I think you need to go a step further and credit specific builders next to any screenshots containing their work.

Well, i wanted to, but a spoon is dear when lunch time is near. When I realized it IS a good and fair idea to subscribe the buildings I rebuilt with the names of the creators of the original constructions, it was 100+ threads inspected yet huh... Well, I will be happy to sign the buildings if creators will recognize them.

 

[citan005]

I'm cool with this idea. But what of mine did you use?

 

[-=Jack=-]

I'm cool with this idea. But what of mine did you use?

Nothing yet. But it is your airship i want to use in my steampunk world one day.

 

[citan005]

Super cool. I wish I had the schematic but it's on nalah's server. I'd have to get it from her.

 

[Chi]

I am also okay with you using my builds :3
But I'd like to know what you want to use
Also this looks nice so far.. and your english really is not that good but it is understandable xD Meow
Keep it up :3

 

[-=Jack=-]

I am also okay with you using my builds :3

Well, i'm not sure 'bout all these buildings and their parts i have collected to use in common building. I'm pretty sure i really want to use somehow your "The Desolate Hollow". I want to enlarge it, to make some kind of entrance to some underground ruins of this creation or so. I'm thinking to make the entrance to Fallout-like Vault of your Hollow as well. Well, i know want do i really want to use, but i'm not sure where, sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh that's fine I guess :3

 

[Rariaz]

so this is like a thematic worlds / gallery of buildings by the Terraria community?
i love the idea of diferent builders contribute to a 1 simple big project.
count on me, but i want to know wich of my builds?
