I don't have a lot of experience with api integration - especially with something like world gen. Blocks are easy.. they all connect to each other; slopes, on the other hand.
Glad you all are enjoying the mod. I've been having difficulties with a few bugs brought about by the new covers. In my persistence though I've taken a second look at redstone propagation (weak power) for the Carpenter's Block and was able to include this functionality. The difficulty of fixing the current bugs is... dizzying. Definitely no ETA.
Well don't stress too much on the bugs, you'll figure it out in time. Glad to hear the redstone propagation was figured out. The slab hitbox fix worked like a charm, no getting stuck at all, not even on corners. This opens up many more design concepts for tight quarters.
Going back to the minimap problem of the blocks all showing up as the brown color of the original block. I believe that the minimap author (I use REI minimap, I don't know if there are others) would have to make a change to have the blocks show up on the map as their cover type instead of the block itself. Recently he did an update that fixed all the twilight forest and other trees from rendering incorrectly on the map. So i believe this is something that would have to be done on his end, though not sure.
As for sloped world generation, that would be a whole mod in itself and wouldn't fit the scope of this mod. Not to mention would be extremely complicated because now instead of just placing the slopes in the world, you have to code it to use the correct block type, face the right direction, and be oriented up or down (a few million times over). I just can't see something like that being an easy task. If someone wants to re-write the world gen code to make slopes, I'm sure it could be possible...
This is so cool! Unfortunately, it clashed with one of my base mods. I'm certain to change my mind if you find a way to color doors, trapdoors, and glass. Wooden trapdoors look tacky against quartz block when building spa showers.
Just dropped in to say I freaking LOVE this mod! As one who loves to design and build stuff, this mod blew my mind and the overlays are the literal icing on the cake. It's definitely the most fun I've ever had in creative. I made an ice wall with a snow overlay, freaking coal block stairs with grass on top, obsidian slopes, straw covered quartz pillar stairs etc etc. Really, few mods have impressed me as much as this one has (which is saying a lot); and from what I've seen in SOTMead's LP, they seem to work with blocks from other mods too. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!

I would say the ideal combination of mods (if they work as you'd imagine them) would be Carpenter's Blocks and Paint Gun Mod... 0_O That's the creative dream....

I'm don't have to check your profile to assume : you are from USA
Mineshopper made a realy fantastic mod for the Creative workers, i hope he don't destroy it with Weapons
What a dumb post...
You aren't considering a paintballgun is a so called "gun" right now... -.-'
And it's still a Videogame >.<
random trollin is random
one of my best friends had lost one of his eyes with a paintball-gun, so tell me not : it's not a weapon

Paint Gun Mod is a mod that allows you to custom color blocks with the shades you can get in the standard pallete on programs like Paint, it's not a weapon at all. It was a great mod that fell out a while back, and stereotyping Americans for being weapon lovers is stupid, because I could say the same thing about wherever your from and ignorance (and based on what I said before, it might be more true than gun loving Americans). Good job failing to know mods, being racist, and just plainly being ignorant. Your one OF a million.
Anyone have an updated link for the BDSphax texture? The current one is broken on the Sphax website..
Odd, i'll look into it.
*edit*
Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Here is the new link as the BDCraft forums have been migrated to new forums, I didn't even think that *duh* the old links wouldn't work after migration.

Ok ! And sorry if I'm one of those who spams for "a door ! a trappdoor !", I didn't knew that. (I've posted one comment 2 weeks ago with trappdoors, but now it's far in the pages, so if I edit this comment, no one will notice this.)
Not a problem. I have discussed this with Mineshooper on a couple occasions however from my understanding it is a lot of work and at this point it is on the back burner for now. He may add it or may not, depends on if he figures out an easier way to do it. Thanks for the suggestions though. Sometimes a suggestion that may not be possible can lead us down another path and allow us to come up with other ideas, so keep them coming.
Will you be adding the HD textures for the pressure plate, lever, button and light sensor soon?
I don't have to. The existing textures work with the new items. I could update the screenshots though.
Oh I just realized, that the hay and sensor will need updated textures. I'll get to work on those.

Cool lookin throne room? you got goin on there. I like the glowstone fence chandelier.
All decent ideas.
Perhaps I will take another look into it.

This has nothing to do with this mod at this point please take off topic conversation elsewhere.

Please update link in OP, thanks.
Done. Now time to sleep

This has been suggested many times, we are still not sure if it will happen yet.
