am i the only one who gets the realy slow fire water and lava animations? please is there a way to fix this
Your problem might fix itself when I release the next update. I have resized the water animation so it doesn't slow down the game as much. (It still looks just as good though, you can barely tell the difference)
The two main purposes of this update are to replace the hd patcher for Beta 1.7.2 with the hd patcher for Beta 1.7.3 and to reduce the possible lag caused by the graphically intensive water animation. All of the blocks in this texture pack are 32 pixels wide, but the original water animation was 128 pixels wide, so it sometimes caused people's games to run slowly. This new one has been resized to 32 pixels wide to match the rest of the texture pack, and it won't slow down the game as much as the old one. Although the resolution of the animation has been lowered, it still looks like small waves rolling across the water. The visual difference shouldn't be very noticable.
Version 35 Includes:
- Updated HD texture patcher (1.7.3)
- Resized water animation (less lag)
- Better looking brown wool (not as red)
- Refined shears (slightly shorter blades)
- More realistic wild pumpkins (no faces)
The pumpkins found in the wild will now look like actual pumpkins and will no longer have faces on them. When the pumpkin is turned into a jack-o-lantern by combining it with a torch, it will have a face carved into it. This seemed much more realistic to me, but if people start complaining about it then I will change it back.
You may have also noticed that this version of the pack is about half the size of the last few versions. This is because of the new water animation which takes up a lot less space. In version 34, for example, the water animation took up almost half of the entire size of the texture pack.
Enjoy!
I am going on vacation for a week and will not be back until July 16, so I will not be able to release any updates until then. If notch releases Beta 1.8 while I am gone, you will have to wait until the 16th.
if someone could help me, that would be great! I want to make my own texture pack, but 16x16 just isn't working for me (i don't like it). Could someone please be kind enough to tell me how to make a 32x32 texture pack please? Thanks
I had a suggestion for improvement of the pack. Two, actually.
First, I don't much like the sides/bottom of the sandstone texture. I think something like the heiroglyphic version in Painterly would be better. The top texture is great, though.
Second, the glowstone. It's fine in one or two blocks, but in large amounts it's just hideous. I need to look for a better one, but please consider changing.

If anyone else agrees with me, please say so.
Honestly, I love the glowstone texture. It's one of my favorite of all texture packs.
The sandstone, I agree, could be made more symmetrical like everything else.

I can try to make something like hieroglyphic sandstone, but it will be a bit difficult to make it tile properly without looking like a long line of the same hieroglyph over and over. The sides and bottom of the sandstone was supposed to look more or less like cobblestone made out of sand. I could at least try to make the stones look more rectangular if people would like that.
Honestly, I don't like the glowstone much either, but every other pattern we tried looked even worse. I'm thinking of making it look more like just a cube of cracked yellow crystal or something like that. Something that could look like a fancy lamp in the real world but still look natural in the nether.

Like these, but cubes:
That sounds like it could work. Thanks for trying.
I have one more suggestion: gold blocks. I don't know if its just me, but the brick-style texture just doesnt work for me. I think it's really awkward and clashy.
I suggest the style of solid gold, slightly shiny-looking, like they have in Painterly, i think. Not sure if its painterly, its the pack that Yogscast uses.
I can't find a picture of it, or i would have posted it here. As far as i recall, it was textured to look like it had cut-off corners?
Could you put those in a new update and see if people like them? Then you could keep them/take them back out depending on popular opinion of them?

I will try to find the texture you're talking about and see if I can make something like it, but no guarantees.

Yeah, you're going to have to download the most recent patcher yourselves if you want the game to run properly.
I will release an update tonight that will include the new patcher.
