Thanks, that would be awesome if you could help out too, I need to update the thread anyway to add some new pictures so I'll add you to the list. I hadn't thought about particles for this map yet but it's a good idea so I'll also update "builders" to builders/particle makers

Thanks to you I started building a city and I'm quite proud of what I have done so far. It's called West Wood.

You're free to join me when I'm on and take some skyscraper ideas if you want!

Ok, it would be cool if you could do some building when you get gold, I would like to see what designs different people have so that's why I'm trying to get as many people as possible to help/give some inspiration. Thanks Duck

UPDATES:

I have done quite a bit of work on this map since I last updated this thread, I have added things and taken things away, but it's looking great now.

Scripting/particle & building help is still needed for this world, so anybody that would like to help out can let me know by replying. Here are some pictures of the most recent updates to the map, I apologise in advance for the bad quality.

FARM:
My friend (Mr Minecraft) now has his own farm where you can earn GP for harvesting the crops. In addition to this, there is a salt mine around the back of the farm, you will earn GP for the salt blocks, too.

APARTMENTS:
There are now two rows of apartment buildings that will be up for rent in the near future once I have made the buy script for them. You can rent any of there apartments for 5,000 GP every 5 in-game days. It is advisable to get a job on the map as you will have to keep up payments for an apartment. Failure to pay rent on time may result in immediate termination of your apartment. Additionally, you may also have to pay a fine of up to 2,000 GP on top of any unpaid rent, fail our to pay this will result in a jail sentence and you may be put to work on the farm to pay off your debts.

ROADS:
The roads have been extended somewhat, and have more buildings next to them now. Jim did a really good job on the intersection you'll see in this picture.

Spoiler for Hidden Content:

SHOP:
There is now a shop run by Mr Minecraft where you can buy food. The prices for the food are set by him, as it's his shop. Just look for the leather coloured skyscraper and you'll find the shop.

Spoiler for Hidden Content:

The leather coloured skyscraper, as mentioned, also has floors that players can rent out for their own businesses if they'd like to have one. The same rules apply here as they do with the apartment buildings, so it is a good idea to get a job in order to be able to pay your rent.

BAD NEWS

I messed up, not just a little bit, I messed up big time. I already made most of the roads 11 blocks wide, 5 blocks of dark gray on each side, and 1 block for the middle where the center lines go, then there is a bit in the middle where the street lights go, and then another road the same on the other side (see 'Roads' in above post.) now I am faced with a huge problem that I don't know whether or not I'll be able to fix, because the roads I. Just mentioned are coming off on intersection, and the intersection is much wider on one side than it is on the other. Before I realised this, I had already moved some buildings out of the way and removed some of the pavement (or sidewalk if you're american) to try and make the roads the same on all sides, but this is not possible due to the intersection being different widths on two sides of it. So now Rack City is currently a complete mess and I don't know what I'm going to do about it. I am going to work on it in the next few days to see if there's anything that I can do to fix this, but if not, they I may have to delete it and start again. Considering the amount of hard work that has already gone into Rack City, I REALLY don't want to have to do this, but if I cannot fix this then I may have no choice. I know that if I have to rebuild Rack City, it will not be the same as it was, but this is a big problem that I will do all I can to try and fix. In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions then I would very much appreciate it, because I really hope that it doesn't have to come to this.

Show us a picture of your mistake and we will offer suggestions. Or I will if nobody else does

The problem is that the longer roads with the lights in the middle, are wider than the other two incomplete roads. I am going to try making narrower roads there but I'm not really confident that it will turn out ok. I was originally going to change the intersection to make it the same width on all sides, but realised that I can't really do that because I would have to move the completed roads back, which would take quite a long time to do. There is always the option of copying a section of the completed roads, removing them and then changing the intersection, then pasting them back but again that would be a long process and I may also have to move some buildings back too, and I've already removed and replaced the apartment buildings at least 6 or 7 times due to mistakes (I know, lol.) so I'm pretty stuck on what to do at the moment, but I'm going to do all I can to try and save this map.

 And thanks for offering to help

It doesn't look awful, they could be side streets maybe? But you have a number of options here.

1) Narrow down the widest Street. You'll have to copy, delete and replace those buildings.
2) Widen the side streets. You'd realistically only have to the above process with the buildings on the corner.
3) Leave it as is. It's not awful looking to be honest.

And a top tip for the future, build the roads first and the buildings after - that's what I find easiest.

TBH
It looks perfect as is,especially with the road lines you have atm
