As they said countless times before, the texture pack will be released to the public some time after the movie is released. I think around the time of the server release.

I know, I know. I just wish I could have it beforehand. I want a fire sword and stuff!

one could replicate most of the textures seen in the trailers, as minecraft textures are PNG files

We'd really appreciate it if that wasn't done. I don't think everybody would take too kindly to our release schedule being trashed by impatient people.

Basically the reason we're withholding the texture pack is, as stated above, we've got a fully planned out release schedule for everything except for the movie (). That stuff isn't subject to change. For us, the texture pack goes hand in hand with the server because it is designed to enrich your experience while playing on the server. As such, it shall be released alongside the server.

Well, this should be interesting. Can't wait to see the finished product and likely take part in that 1-month server =P [P.S. Yes, I basically just made an account here so I could comment on this now that it is nearing release and ensure I get to take part in that 1-month server and get the map for MC...though I'm considering staying for the RPs. Nevertheless, good luck on this!]

[Draezeth]

Wait, 1-month?

[Voutok S'Tythe (Ray)]

Yeah, they've mentioned it (and continue to mention it) a couple times on this thread. The most specific mentioning of it being this post:

The plan (as I see it now) is to set up the museum server around two weeks to a month after the movie is released. It will be a museum server, and building or destroying the main island will not be permitted. You will, however, likely have a seperate island across a body of water next to Mata Nui where building will be allowed on; it will (possibly) be very similar in size and shape to Mata Nui, and will possibly be connected to Mata Nui to allow travel between the two.We'll likely only keep it up for a month, due to budget constraints (unless people feel like donating to keep it up and running longer), and then will release the map publically to all of our fans, along with all skins, the texture pack, and the like. The day that happens will mark the end of development on Biocraft Chronicles, and the project will officially be wrapped up then. -Mesonak

So yeah, from the looks of it the server will be a 1-month thing, then they'll release the map as a public download. To be honest, I'm excited for it regardless XD

Glad to have your support and interest! Welcome to BZP and such. It's a nice place, and if you're interested in RPing, this is a very good place to be.

 

You're also correct regarding the museum server. You guys could donate to keep it up longer, but I'm not really sure why anyone would want to do that considering they can just wait and get the map.

"but I'm not really sure why anyone would want to do that considering they can just wait and get the map." well lets see here let me give you two reasons

1. we get to play on mata-nui with all are bzp friends

2. we get to play it with you and eljay and all the other boicraft guys (which is my personal favorite part)

is there really much else to say

WELL OF COURSE THERE IS! A LOT MORE TO SAY! MWUAHAHA- I'm done now.

 

Like how I've got some pretty images I have to show you all! I don't know if I put these in a video, but here they are for you guys to enjoy. Not as pretty as Kahi's, but nostalgic none the less. =P

 

Thanks for all the support guys! We're chugging through!

Just thought of this with Taipu snapshot: if the le-koro highway is that low, how can one include the great mine?

The answer is simple, and I wouldn't be surprised if these were their exact words:

"We need to go deeper..."

[Ghosthands]

Hey guys, Ghosthands here - if you're not a player of the BZPRPG, then you may remember me from my Sprite Kit, the DSS.
 
For those of you who are unfamiliar with either, here's a short introduction: I'm an Englishman, in my last year of senior school, an avid player of the BZPRPG, a huge Doctor Who and Mass Effect fan, and a fairly talented pixel artist.
 
And it is with great pleasure that I announce that I'm helping make the official Texture Pack!

GH is helping with the texture pack?  This day just gets better and better. 

[Kraahlix]

Can you please finish the movie? =,(

[Jovan2]

What do you think they're doing? They've said this hundreds of times already. They are finishing the CGI effects for the movie. The only reason that it is taking so long is because there is only one person working on it. Questions like this only waste their time and annoy them.

[Maphrox: Toa of Polygons]

More than one, but yeah, pretty much. Animation is a time-consuming process, and I'm not going to speak for the rest of the people working on this, but I at least have tons of school work to get through at this time of the year, which eats at my animation time.

Ah, it didn't occur to me that my question was pointless, time-wasting, and annoying. Oops.

WELL, to be fair it's not really all that annoying (I've built up an immunity to it at this point), and it's not really pointless either considering it shows you have vested interest. Just a bit of a time-waster.

 

Glad to see you're still following us, Kraah. I promise you, we're working dilligently and production's amped up quite a bit thanks to Maphrox and the other members of our team.

Good to hear. =) Thanks for sticking with it.
(I've followed this topic since it was made, and it's like the only thing I get  notifications from [questions about textures and maps and servers =P])

Personally, after the awesome work you put into Kopaka's lines, I don't think I'd let this project die and be able to sleep peacefully at night. =P

 

But yeah, thanks for sticking around! We're very, very close.

 

[Toa Obsidious]

Awesome work guys, I wish I knew how to animate or I would be helping too, I understand that all good things, (RP2, TC3 and Biocraft) take ages to get out so well done!!!

[toa jalokim]

so, now we wait for the ta-koro map. Im excited to go lava surfing, even though I'll burn to death.

[Dual Matrix]

Yes I look forward to the movie, but mostly to the lava surfing, i even adapted the code of a boat so it is usable in lava, if the movie is finished, schoolwork will have to wait.

[Mesonak]

While you guys wait for us to actually upload the map (due to unexpected and problematic delays), a short and hilarious video series is uploading to our channel chronicling our difficulties. Two parts are up already, and the third is uploading. Check it out!

 

-Mesonak

[toa jalokim]

Lol, that random water chunk was hilarious! But it does pose a problem nonetheless.

[Mesonak]

Yeah... All problems have been resolved, and the map is being uploaded as we speak.

 

-Mesonak

[toa jalokim]

Awesome! I'll be sure to play it tommorow since I'm gonna head to bed right now since it is PAST MIDNIGHT for me.

[Voutok S'Tythe (Ray)]

So the movie is ready and the map is uploading? So when can we expect it to be up and ready for viewing/downloading? =3

[Extractor]

Really can't wait for all you're planning especially the movie! And yes, the water chunk was pretty funny!

[SuperGogito]

@Voutok S'Tythe (Ray)

 

I think they mean the TA-KORO map is uploading, not meaning the entire map.

Therefore the movie probably isn't finished either.

[Voutok S'Tythe (Ray)]

Aw. That is dissappointing if that is true =/ Oh well, at least something will be out.

[SuperGogito]

But of course, I can be wrong too. But I do not suppose that they have finished it this soon.

 

And besides, they would release the map after the museum server would've closed, which would open after the movie was released.

Still, I can be wrong too, as I said.

[Voutok S'Tythe (Ray)]

Good point. I was kinda suspicious about how it looked, anyway. Oh well, Ta-Koro's pretty big, right? Plenty to do in the meantime =P

[SuperGogito]

Ta koro, if it's like the MNOG II Ta-Koro, is big indeed.

And I am not sure, but I believe it contains the rest of the (incomplete) island as well.

 

But for the latter you need to talk to TTV themselves.

[toa jalokim]

dudes! its been released!!!

I got to say it before everyone else! trolled!

[Voutok S'Tythe (Ray)]

Where is it?

[toa jalokim]

Im gonna be the first fan to play it! mwahah!

[Voutok S'Tythe (Ray)]

Don't be stupid >_>

[toa jalokim]

this is amazing! no water chunk though.

[Voutok S'Tythe (Ray)]

Ok now where's the link? It's not like I can get it at the moment anyways I just want to know where the thing is.
