Thanks for all the feedback! I greatly appreciate all the helpful feedback in here.
It hurts to say this, but I'm just too busy in real life at the moment, and am thus not able to pick up work on this texture pack in the closer future. However, I've got all the materials ready for download if someone wants to try their luck on it. I work on Gimp, so I've got all files in xcf format. If you need layered photoshop files, I can convert them for you, though.
So here's all the important source material (if you need any in-depth stuff like layered textures of single block types, just PM me, I'm glad to help).
Now since the question of virus infection may arise: I didn't check anything before uploading, but I've only used content downloaded from the official minecraft website and self-pixeled stuff. I didn't really bother running a virus-check, but since everyone should only trust their own scanner anyways, I don't think this should be too much of an issue. If someone really wants to edit the pack but is afraid of .rar, I can as well upload all the stuff file per file.
Hope you enjoy and get creative :smile.gif:
If someone really ends up with a finished and polished version of Aliencraft, I'd be glad to get some credit for the idea and part of the art/content. You can advertise it in your own thread and basically do everything you want with it, though.
I'm glad to see such a different/unique texture pack that goes off in the realm of the abstract sci fi motif. I thought the turquoise was a bit too bright at first, but then pictured half life and visiting the alien world... how strange and bizarre looking the ground looked and I totally got brought back into what you are trying to recreate. I look forward to seeing how this turns out!
And here's the current minecraft.jar, for those who don't want to edit, but just see the current state of the pack in action:
You're not allowed to distribute the minecraft.jar. You need to take it down to avoid any trouble.
I've seen people providing their modified minecraft.jars and even backup versions of the original minecraft.jar all over the place, so I thought this would be normal. Gonna take it off to make sure not to do anything illegal, then.
As for the people who just want to enjoy the pack: It's just gotten a bit more complicated. I haven't got time to write a readme at the moment, so you just have to open up your local minecraft.jar and let everything to be found in my .rar file replace the original files in the .jar-file. If you're having trouble, just take a look at some of the other texture packs :smile.gif:
Just in case someone worries: it's a clean file.
Sparkster, great work there! You've really picked up the style I was going after and pretty much completed everything. The GUI elements could still use a distinct design and there's some little things one could do even better I guess, but as it stands, it seems like an amazing piece of work. I haven't tested it out yet, but looking at it from the file browser, it looks solid and moody. I'd really like to add your work to the starting post and give you credit, if you're ok with that.
You didn't finish it at all. I went to play it and the rock and wood stuff isent finished. Also, you stole the spider skin from the painterly pack. I don't think it's finished at all. He got lazy and didn't want to make his own spider texture. Shame, it looked so promising. I rest my case.

I just like the spider skin from painterly pack.If you do not like this spider skin,make your own.Sorry for my english, i use google translate.
Just because you like it dosent mean you can steal it. Also I looked through the textures again and you didn't even texture the steel. I also said the wood and rock were not finished. Please fix it. Just retexture the spider so it's more alien looking. Then maybe I'll use it. Other then that you did a good job on the rest. I would do it myself but I'm not very good at it. Then when you finish it you will get this.
Fabulous set of textures. Especially liking the foliage on the trees. Hope you manage to find the time to complete it, but entirely understand how much time is required to make this sort of thing. Only looks like a small png file, but it's a back breaker trying to get things to tile.

I did not mean I dont like the wood, I meant when i took out the pickaxe it wasent fully colored thats all. Also I thought the steel should be colored insted of more of a pinkish color. I think it would be cool if you recolour the clouds. And the handels of all the wood tools but the sword is normal wood... not the blue.
EDIT: I just tried it, why is the rock normal now? I said i liked the blue rock colour it just wasent fully colouerd thats all...

I can't wait until it's released, it feels so Avatar-ish.

It's absolutely amazing. Love the idea : )
