Excellent! That city is coming along very nicely. I do rather like those shops by the way. Well done to all and I'm looking forward to seeing how things develop. At some stage will you be paving and adding roads inbetween the buildings?
We do have roads, I just don't like the looks of them, so I've kept them out of the pictures as much as possible XD
Woooooow... That is awesome! Everything is one style, connected... I like your city very much!
You should spawn, or bring some villagers in there, so it'll be inhabited!
I did spawn some villagers one time, but I was still building that area then and they got in the way. I'll totally spawn in some more and let them wander around while I continue to expand.
1. If you can, convert your images to '.jpg' format as it makes for smaller, quicker uploads for me and saves me having to convert from '.png'.
2. Put your title/description and name in the '.jpg' file title, then I can easily copy that as a description when I upload it to the Gallery album.
3. If there's an order to the pics, by all means add a sequence number into the title and I'll try and keep the same order with whatever pics I choose.
Oh yeah .png, that's probably why it took me so long to upload them. Sorry about that.
And it seems there no way to make minecraft save screenshots in .jpg or make imgur convert them when they upload. Ah well, guess I'll have to find another lazy way to do it.

Gimp will easily convert, but I'm sure there are other pure converters if you're not looking for all the bells and whistles of a full graphic suite.
So here I was, making spruce blocks, that look like ye olde wooden panels...
Looking very nice!
I used to have a similar panel like that for spruce back in 32x days. A whole collection of them currently residing in the alts collection, however rather redundant now at 32x.
As mentioned previously, I will be introducing something similar at 64x, and other variations for the double wood slab slots as well as probably taking another look at all the planks. Also, some big ctm changes to bookcases coming at some point that should allow for books, storage and filing and apothecary needs. Basically...lots of ideas, but not a lot of time and spare energy at the end of the day to get stuck in.
currently still messing with prismarine and sea lantern, nether 'beetles and grubs' (26 at present, but I could easily waste more time on a hundred more as they're fantastic fun to see en-masse, easy to do and visually very pleasing), armor stand...didn't realise what a versatile bit of kit it is (great for turning armor into cool statues on plinths or in alcoves around the outside of classical buildings.
Also working on some new glass for undersea bases (using up either the red, blue, yellow or light blue stained glass) and thinking of legal (MCPatcher) ways to add more cast iron blocks to the pack.
Currently snowed under with RL stuff and work, so I don't know how long this will take or how often I'll be following things here, but I'll try and pick up on things for the Gallery, etc. (yes, please keep ideas for buildings and constructions coming everyone...for everyone's sake).
I haven't dared check the OP again, for fear I will make a mistake and garble everything up! Yes, I do have the OP backed up, but the problem is with the forum editor switching back and forth with BB code, or was at the weekend! Anyways, if the OP behaves then I'll try for another mini-update, even if it's just to infest you with nether bugs!

Thanks
And yes, I know about those alts, as I were using them for a very long time. But now, after your recent updates, 32x began to seem obsolete to me. Also those panels carry one little element from those alts.
I plan to make a whole set of diffferent ctm textures for spruce wood stuff, like slabs, stairs, columns'o'slabs. It'll be awesome, 'cause I've gathered a lot of materials
Gimp will easily convert, but I'm sure there are other pure converters if you're not looking for all the bells and whistles of a full graphic suite.
Yeah I have Gimp and will probably end up having to do it that way, but I was looking more along the lines of "convert 100+ images from png. to jpg with 1 - 3 clicks" lazy, haha.
Just wanted to stop in and say thank you for your hard work. My family and I have just stumbled upon your wonderful creation and it has brought new life into our Minecraft time (we play as a family on LAN). I must say that your artwork is phenomenal and I would be happy to showcase your banner in my signature in support.!
Distracted from my distraction by the Wreck of the Schooner Demeter - the prow of which has been dragged ashore as a display next to the Demeter Memorial Stub Light.
Known as the Merter Light, the memorial was built to prevent further groundings on the Hobson's Spit. In this photograph the keeper's quarters are currently being expanded, as a new bridge is being constructed to allow congress with the mainland.
Dear Glimmar
I would just like to say thank you a million times for the textures. Every update my minecraft does not feel right until I get the correct Glimmar's Steampunk for it. I use it mostly for creative worlds, shamelessly lazy by cutting the work down with worldedit, but they would look downright strange without your amazing victorian textures. I post pictures on Deviantart, but I probably wouldn't get half the veiws, correction: ANY, without your selfless hard work and quality texturemanship. Thanks a stack-ful. http://micmi.deviantart.com/art/Meridian-City-Clocktower-515387717
This is just WOW. That detail, that style... Buildings actually look like a British Parlament building, which is cool! MAybe you post some more pictures?
EDIT:
I've missed that link. I fell in love with your library. Such scale and atmosphere.. woooo
And yeah, I see you using those dark wooden panels as well
I must confess that the "Paper Window" texture is not from Glimmar's, but the rest of the textures are from current or really old Glimmar's.
I borrowed that texture from Wolfhound Asian, which is also pretty good.

On a sad note; we stumbled upon it on resourcepack_dot_net which seems to be clearly against your updated TOU in the OP. I hope you can get it rectified. (As soon as you see this I'll edit out this last sentence.)
Many thanks for those kind words, OcAMD...very encouraging indeed! That would be awesome and an honor if you could display my banner in your sig.
Also, Lovely that you play as a family. My lads have long since lost interest in my work, but we do still occasionally play MC together, but only in vanilla survival with lots of mods and usually roping me in to do all the drudge work like mining and making roads, which strangely I still find immensely relaxing as it carries no weight of Glimmar work responsibility!
Welcome to the weird world of Glimmer!
If you fancy posting some pics of your builds, all dressed up in Glimmar textures, for me to pick and choose for the OP gallery, that would be great for everyone, not least me!
Thanks for the heads-up on resourcepack_dot_net. I know there are many other websites that host my pack too, some just feature pictures and link back which is great, others just simply exploit the hard work of modders and artists and profit from advertising all in the name of providing a service, but really it's just dishonest without permission, but it would be a full time job to track them all down and follow up with warnings etc. Sometimes I have a round up, but it's still really very discouraging! Sadly, that's the way of the internet and the world. Where there's a potential financial exploit someone will try and cash in on it.

Wonderful building work there, cmg007! Amazing patience and creativity! Thanks for posting pics though...it's a huge encouragement to me and inspiration to others. Also many thanks for those kind words. It still means a lot when folk take the time to post their thanks. I'm not sure I deserve such praise on a pack that's been 5 years in the making...especially as it's still not anywhere near finished.
I'll feature some of those pics of yours in the OP Gallery if I may. Let me know if you'd rather I didn't, otherwise I'll take it as being ok.
Removed old versions of images and replaced them with images from the latest resource pack. Also added a lot more, including some of my (first ever) airship, new factories, more houses and station.
The two apartment buildings came from an old world, using worldedit, and I've altered them slightly so they aren't exactly alike. The City Hall also came from an old world - but altered after placement. Several citizens found themselves (accidentally) transported to Lindretha City too - note to myself to check who is inside any buildings before copying them via worldedit!!!
Everything else was built from zero. And all of the buildings are furnished/ contain items and objects.
Glimmar - I'm more than happy for you to share any and/or all of the photos/album - they're all ,jpegs so should be easy for you to do so.
Wow! You've been busy, Lindreth, fantastic stuff!
As soon as I can I'll definitely be going through all those pics to choose some more for the Gallery. Many thanks!
It's the Easter Hols here in the UK, so I'll be tied up with family for the best part of two weeks, hence my absence the past few days. It doesn't mean I've stopped working on things that badly need attention, but it does mean that I won't have much time to follow up on posts here for a while...something's got to give I suppose, and I think you'd rather I was still working on new stuff than 'gabbing' here too much!
It was very encouraging to see all the posts and pics and the interaction above, so please feel free to continue to post pics and ideas for builds etc.
...and my OP is most definitely broken for editing purposes, it's not just BBcode editing that's a problem, even if I try editing using the forum editor it messes everything up in the preview, so I'll need to pursue this with admin now! In future I'm going to try to design the OP so I don't have to make changes for simple updates and pics can easily be changed outside the forum using the established Imgur, the only problem being my video library. But this whole business of unreliability is a great spanner in the works!
Be on the look out for additions to the Gallery in the OP as I will try to keep up with that and please do check out Megistus' mod and alt textures for any gaps in the pack that might be frustrating you, he has a huge collection of complimentary artwork based on my textures and they really are staggeringly comprehensive. If it's a block you want to change you only need to change it's name and drag it into the 'blocks' folder in the pack.
Anyways, have a good two weeks folks and as soon as I can I'll hopefully be back to show some new things.
Dear Glimmar
Of course you can use my pictures, I would be honoured! If you see any you would like to feature from my DA gallery, I would be more than happy to link them to you!
Happy easter!

Just a quick stop by to see how things are going, to apologise for not updating the Gallery yet and to give a well deserved plug for an awesome adventure journal by DirtDog called 'The Ballad of Dirt Dog' found here:
DirtDog has a gentle and quirky style of humour that has me chuckling at every journal entry and the best bit for me is that there is now a tie in with Glimmar's Steampunk with the latest journal entry. If you have any spare time left after building and dreaming or you like reading well written humorous stories you should head over to DirtDog's thread this minute and follow the adventures of Dirt Dog and his side-kick potato Mr. Pekingsworth...great stuff for the Easter holidays 'cos chickens feature heavily in it too!
**********************************************
I've been working on a number of little projects, one of which is the introduction of a 128x gun in place of a bow, 'Bioshock Rapture' style, complete with new sound effects for it (which means I've crossed the hurdle of putting my own sounds in the pack! So got me thinking about atmospheric ambient sounds and appropriate music hall music for the music player, etc). Had great fun with target practice though and trying to decide what type of bullet/dart to use in place of an arrow. Bullets alone are hard to find, so I'm initially going for a kind of bullet/dart cross with small red flights at the end for easier finding in the wild, but I'll make variations to suit user preference.
Also after seeing such inspiring iron and cast iron alt textures from Megistus, I've been tinkering with lots of existing iron textures to bring them in line with each other in preparation for adding the prismarine...and constructing some fine buildings in the process...well they look fine and dandy to me!
I've even managed a bit of Bioshock play (purely for research purposes I might add) and it's been amazingly inspirational (also taken lots of screenshots for later perusal...see, I told you it was for research purposes! ). Last time I played it was a year before I took to playing Minecraft in 2009! So it got me experimenting with a new underwater glass panel (still good for surface construction too), building experimental undersea domes and tubes and generally dreaming about vast deep sea ocean complexes and Guardian Marine creatures. I'll eventually have to play Bioshock 2 and Bioshock Infinite, both of which I possess, but have yet to even install! Such is my devotion to Minecraft ('devotion'? More like 'madness!).

This picture describes my reaction to the new rails PRECICELY.
That is just awesome!
We do have roads, I just don't like the looks of them, so I've kept them out of the pictures as much as possible XD
Ah wow, glad you guys like my city so much!
I did spawn some villagers one time, but I was still building that area then and they got in the way. I'll totally spawn in some more and let them wander around while I continue to expand.

So here I was, making spruce blocks, that look like ye olde wooden panels.
This one was slightly edited photo from depth of internets
And this is final product, looking just how I wanted
If one wont look very carefully at those, they look really good
I'll make some ctm's for those, and for stairs/slabs. I've got a lot of material to work with.
Gimp will easily convert, but I'm sure there are other pure converters if you're not looking for all the bells and whistles of a full graphic suite.

after some long, hard debate on what was my fav texture pack ever i have decided this is it,
i do not even need to explain why but man i love the hell out of this pack.
Thanks as always, Lindreth.
