Duck and Cover

In the last few days I have started to build the original Vault 13 from Fallout in Minecraft. I am happy to say that most of the basics are now in place, but i have come here for some help with some of the detail. I'll post some pictures of my creation at the end.

If you look at Vault 13 there are tonnes of computers, and I have tried to put in as many in as I can. I want them all to do or say something when they are used, but i have run out of ideas for messages. These messages must be in a special format to work on Minecraft, they can be 3, 4 or 5 lines long, and each line can only have a maximum of 15 characters (If your unsure what I mean, have a look below). I have tried to write messages in the Fallout style, with its humor, whilst still posting messages that a vault computer might show.

Below are all the messages that I have come up with so far.

Here are some photos of the Vault:

You have a lot of time on your hands don't ya?

Wow, that looks remarkably a lot like not Vault 13.

I'm sure that if you ran around it, you would see how it does look like Vault 13, lol. Remember that its Minecraft and so you can't give it much detail, and still have it to scale. Also remember that its the basics, and apart from the computer terminals, its not been furnished at all.

If you have any ideas how I might be able to make it look more like the real thing, I would love to hear them.

here is a thought : maybe use something other than minecraft

gadzooks

no really though its a bit like creating a 25:1 scale model of that chinese wall from quail egg shell fragments

if nothing else i admire your tenacity

good effort, looks like van buren

Actually I think if I ran around it I'd get bored and take up a much more fruitful task like kicking myself in the dick.

You should meet our in-house developer Cakester, I think you and him would get along great!

Thanks. My name is Jonathan Ingleby and I compose music for when animals can play instruments. My hobbies include partying with friends, being a hard worker and curling up with a little jar of pickled birds every night and masturbating. You. Me. Coffee. Noun. Noon? Yes.

Wow. Nice job! Eeriest Minecraft video I've seen yet with the soundtrack, too. 

Awww, the pics are gone.

Anyway, to make it look like Vault 13, look to the in-game cutscenes in Fallout.

That's how it would look, except in Minecraft it be be more like Doom (original).
