What program do you need?

A map editor. Look into WorldEdit.

I just did a search for it and it's apparently not updated for 1.1.

@284,308 (B)
Can't you get that with Single Player Commands?
How do you copy and save a building?

@previous (A)
You can get that with Single Player Commands last time I checked, yes. To copy something you have to select it with the wand (wooden axe by default) and you can then //copy and //paste. To store something to a file there's //save and //load

See the http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldEdit/Reference.

Is there a way to disable the wooden axe so that it's not automatically loaded whenever you start a new survival game?
It's kind of annoying seeing the "first position" pop up whenever you go to chop down wood.

Would this work in creative with superflat?

@previous (A)
You can change the wand to another item in the configuration files, and then obtain that item by using //wand. You'll have to pick one item that will always be the wand.

I haven't tried it myself, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Why can you only set two positions?
It only saves the bottom block of the buildings.

You select squares. I suggest reading the documentation.

Imagine L is where you left clicked, and R is where you right clicked and this is a top-down view:
XXXXXXXXXX
XLYYYYYYYX
XYYYYYYYYX
XYYYYYYYRX
XXXXXXXXXX

Then you have selected L and R and all the Ys. It works like that but with three dimensions.

@previous (A)
Select at the bottom left (The left slime, for example) and then either
A) Build a pillar at the top right (The cobble thing that that slime is humping) so you have a square there
B) Select at that on the ground so that you just have the floor selected then do '//expand 100 up' to expand your selection upwards

Couldn't I just fly in creative mode?
I have to switch over to survival because the fucking left click breaks the blocks.

I just want the building, not the thing the slime is humping.

You can, but you'd have to select a block with the wand for it work. Though maybe you can use //hpos1 and //hpos2 instead. rtfm, there's a ton of ways to do it

Read the fucking manual.

Anyway, the way I'd do it is to select at the 1 and 2 with the wand, then do //expand 100 up and then you should have it all selected.

Does it have to be 100 or can you simply count how many blocks it is up to the tip of the tower?
What do I put if I want to //rotate it a certain direction?

Anonymous B replied with this 14 years ago, 1 minute later, 1 hour after the original post[^] [v] #284,331

@previous (A)
It doesn't have to be 100, it was just an example. It doesn't copy air, however.

You'd '//rotate 90' to rotate your clipboard 90 degrees, most likely clockwise.

Anonymous A (OP) replied with this 14 years ago, 1 minute later, 1 hour after the original post[^] [v] #284,333

Can you rotate it counter-clockwise?

Anonymous B replied with this 14 years ago, 56 seconds later, 2 hours after the original post[^] [v] #284,334

@previous (A)
Try a negative number or 360-degrees (So 90 degrees counter-clockwise would either be -90 or 270). I'm not sure if the negative numbers work, but they probably do.

The negative numbers do work, but they just swapped everything in the building and fucked it all up.
This is kind of tough when you can't see which direction the building is rotated.
I got it though.

@previous (A)
Did you rotate in chunks of 90 degrees? If you do less than that I imagine it fucking it all up, yeah.

How do you expand the walls? I only saw the radius, material type, and height.

like the top, expand it to have a walkway that isn't 1 block wide

and i think im starting to get the hang of this.

but is there a way to rotate quicker than having to enter //rotate 90 four times?

Anonymous B replied with this 14 years ago, 1 minute later, 2 hours after the original post[^] [v] #284,349

@previous (A)
Don't think the circle command can do that. You'd have to create multiple circles at different heights to do that, with different radii.

> but is there a way to rotate quicker than having to enter //rotate 90 four times?
90*4=360
//rotate 360

Anonymous A (OP) replied with this 14 years ago, 7 minutes later, 2 hours after the original post[^] [v] #284,350

@previous (B)
So if a building is facing North and I want it to face South, I do //rotate 360?
What would the numbers be for East and West?

Also... a church among darkness.

Anonymous B replied with this 14 years ago, 1 minute later, 2 hours after the original post[^] [v] #284,351

@previous (A)
360 is a full circle, so flipping it would be 180 degrees. 90 degrees is a quarter turn, so 90 or -90 for making it face east or west.

You might want to look into the //flip command for that, though.

Outline, walls or or set.

I think I finally figured out the walls //command.
But would I have to fill this in 1 column at a time or is there a way to fill it all in?

Anonymous B replied with this 14 years ago, 1 minute later, 2 hours after the original post[^] [v] #284,356

@previous (A)
The walls command should be able to do that all at once. It just creates an outline (without top or bottom) on your current selection, so select the entire staircase and do the command, see what happens.

Edit: Actually, that would also create a wall on the front. If that's what you want, great. If not you either need to do two walls commands (or set), for either side, or use one wall command and then '//set 0' (change to air) the parts you dont want.

You might want to also look into set which is the most simple as it just fills your selection with a certain kind of block.

How do you like my cylinder? I manually placed the last four blocks on top and used //outline cobble which only created the roof and didn't fill the spaces. Was this suppose to happen? I filled the spaces in with glass.

Anonymous B replied with this 14 years ago, 1 minute later, 3 hours after the original post[^] [v] #284,364

@previous (A)
If the spaces were selected they should've been filled by the outline, maybe you didn't have it selected properly. There is some kind of client-side plugin that shows you what you've selected, btw. I forgot the name though.

The internal map format could have changed, or they could've added new items. It's always possible for them to be incompatible.
