- Username: catfriedrice
- Suggestion Title: Job addition (or change) with ArtMap plugin install (post 1.13.2 update)
- Elaborate (Why do you think it should be added, how will it improve the server, etc.): While trying to go for the "Writer" position, one of the members here mentioned how "useless" or foolish it was to try for; the job is limited to writing books, notes, articles etc that a significant number of users on the site will never view/buy. If Writer is a worthless position, I propose changing it to 'Fine Art', with the implementation of other forms of fine arts (Painting/Sculpting, Theater, etc.), or simply creating a new role called Artist and implementing ArtMap.
For those of you who've not tried it, ArtMap is similar to the site's current Sketchmap like plugin which allows artwork to be made by any and all individuals on a server. Unlike Sketchmap (like plugin), everything is designed within the game, not as an image that is uploaded. Regular Items become paints, paint buckets, brushes, easels, etc. boosting the economy and shop options. Users who create these works of art can choose to hang them in their own homes, sell unique versions to others for buildings/offices/lobbies/homes/etc. or create multiple copies to distribute at shops or art gallerias. Cities could even use it for roadsigns, billboards, business names, or building names. Could also be used for future events.
For more information, a user guide can be found here: https://gitlab.com/BlockStack/ArtMap/wikis/home
- Does this require the installation of a new plugin (Yes/No): Yes
- If you answered Yes on the previous question, please link the plugin (Leave blank if you answered No): Artmap created by the original owner only goes to 1.12. The code is open source and others have taken it to 1.13.2 via https://gitlab.com/BlockStack/ArtMap.
- Additional Information: A demo of an artwork I created found elsewhere using artmap: https://imgur.com/a/UohNnOq

I like this idea, people are in need of different ways to decorate and this would give more job opportunities.

Anything can be abused. We would need to regulate it though.

The option could be that anything sold or displayed for public observation/public buildings must follow a PG-13 standard (no nudity, excessive violence, etc.). Anything displayed in private homes can be R/ ESRB M restricted. Block any form of Rape, Child Porn, or anything that would not be shown in an M rated game,
This will give people the freedoms they may want, while not having smut splattered all over the city.

I'm gonna hit this up, it's nearly a year and while we've got lots of neat new jobs, but I still think writer needs help and turned into an artist/fine art position. The one who was looking into this is gone and there were no updates.
It could also put dyes, paintings, banners, and tools for the job in their bucket of only allowed to sell.
