Well, I guess this is the right place to post this. What I want someone to either make for me, or help me make, is a program kind of like Skinedit. except I want it to use texturepacks instead. I've tried to make several texturepacks, but they all fail, because I get bored, and it is hard to do. What I want is a program that can edit each part of a texturepack, and tell you where stuff is, like in skinedit. It could help me, and many others make texturepacks, because they would be able to make them from scratch, and not be tempted to use other's textures. Please help me, I will give you full credit, and you would be helping lots of people! :tongue.gif:

block name please, and maybe not imediatly, but in some updates(if you even want to continue it,) could there be features for every part of a texturepack? and any GUIs that need to be done, I can do those, just tell me how to set it up. Thanks!

I am talking about a way to edit every part, like the Armors, the terrain, the items, and stuff like that. and like I said, if you tell me what to do, I can do any graphical pages. :wink.gif:

Lol sooooooo many people ask for things like this... I've yet to see one done (no offense topgun98). Just use Sumo Paint, it's really easy.
I know how to make texturepacks like that, I just think this would be a nice tool, and I want to see it done, so if you don't use it, that's fine with me, but you don't need to tell people not to help others.

No, Hodototman, I've had this idea for a long time, and finally decided since no one else was making it, I had to take it into my own hands... Then I remembered I don't now a thing about coding.

I just decided to work on the Gui, then realized it is hard to have it 16x16, and still be able to write the name well... then I though, Why not use the default texturepack as background? (not if you leave a block blank, it will be default, but it is the gui, but when it is saved, it isn't shown.) How would that work?

Really.. rather you use paint, photoshop.. or some program to 'do it for you' you STILL have to make the textures YOURSELF. Nothing can do that for you. It is not hard to dump the files into gimp or anything even paint, and go from there. You don't need to work on each tile on its own then paste it all back in. Just work with them on the file. Selection tool can isolate blocks if you want to say add a noise to just that one or blue it or whatever.
You ALSO don't need to start with a 'blank' template. Just take the default and paint over it. You don't need to go fully blank and need to 'name' each square. Thats just dumb.
Really I think people get the wrong idea when it comes to 'makers' Nothing can 'MAKE' a texture pack -for you- -YOU- still have to draw everything yourself. Open it in paint or gimp and go at it. You don't need some extra program to open them or do whatever when you have the tools already.
If you BADLY need to separate the blocks your editing from the terrain file. Just select, COPY open new file, PASTE IT IN and edit it there. Then copy and PASTE IT BACK.
Is it REALLY that hard of a concept to understand?
OMG looky looky I'm about to edit the default diamond block so it fits my texture. Just copy the stone, paste it in and draw in the new diamond texture and save! All with out some extra program or tool to devide the terrain file or using a blank template or anything!
WOW THAT IS SOOO HARD /sarcasm
It's as easy as
1. Take the default files from the minecraft.jar and put them in a new folder
2. Open the files saved in your folder in whatever program you use, gimp, photoshop, paint whatever
3. EDIT it however you want.
4. SAVE

<sarcasm>Thanks!</sarcasm> you think I don't know this? I've already said I did, but I think it would be a nice tool to help. I don't think it will make them for you, I just think that this will help to organize it, and to stop people from being tempted to use other people's textures. Let me get this straight for everyone: I KNOW YOU CAN MAKE TEXTUREPACKS WITHOUT THIS, I JUST THINK IT WILL BE USEFUL!

HOW will a tool be more useful? How can -any- tool out there do anything better then that basic programs we already have do? What do you want? Take the texture and split each block into it's own separate file then edit it and have it re-add everything back in? WHY? Why when you can just select what you want to edit, open a few file, paste it in and edit it.. then copy and paste it back. Or shoot WHY even do that, just select it, everything you do will only effect what you have selected. You don't HAVE to split it from the main file. So you don't have all these extra little blocks saved as their own image.
Really what can a tool that helps you 'edit' texturepacks really give you that gimp, paint, etc don't already? Nothing that is what. There is nothing a tool out there can add to what we already have, nothing that make it 'easy' just something to add in more steps to making a texturepack.
I've 'tried' other texturepack editors and makers... One even shows the texture on a 3D block... it has a color pallet and a simple paint brush you can edit the size to draw with... oh wow... how is that any diffrent, aside the block preview from using gimp and what not? Oh, aside that you don't have access to a lot of the tools, like blur or select, copy and paste, offset to make sure they tile right, or noise or any added effects you may wish to add.
Really all these tools to make texturepacks may look 'cool' and may seem to make making them 'easy' but all they do is limit you to what the program uses.
At most I use that other tool to preview how the blocks may look... aside that? It has no other use.. I would not use it to draw or make my texturepacks. Color pallet and brush tools is far too limiting.

I'm not even arguing any more, because you are trolling soooo hard right now. if you don't like this idea, don't use it, end of discussion. so until you decide to stop arguing, I'm not feeding the troll, and I hope no one else does either.

I support this idea and thread. But since its dead, i might not bother. If you ever come back to this, then i suggest start coding. This is what i have been waiting for.

Yes please, do you think you can do it? :smile.gif:

Just use winrar and extract the minecraft.jar....
