Well, yeah, that too....

*along comes newb*
"YAY! New Texture Pack!!!!! XD"
*downloads, ignoring all instructions*
*fails to get it working*
*cries*
"WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?!?!?!?! :'("

^^like that?

EDIT:
@Koolwitak:
Yeah, sort of. It just doesn't look like a "natural occurrence" anymore. Glowstone is supposed to be a natural material.

But as we saw before, it looks ugly as a natural material... Unless you have some ideas? (pictures maybe)

By the way, check this out ---> viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=126719 (mine isn't included)

I'd suggest that you find a white marble texture and see what you can do to make it tileable, then shift the hue/saturation and color levels (I usually use photoshop XD) until it has a firey yellow-orange colour.

The lightstone block should look like a yellowish transparent block with a big glowing ore in the middle. Kind of like a solidified block of tree resin with something glowing in the middle.

Example: (image)

Yeah but then it just ends up looking like this, which I don't really like... What's your opinion?

(By the way, the lightstone texture cannot be transparant, only solid colors)



I had another interesting idea though... (at least it actually tiles well and looks like stone)



I then decided to try something a bit different (some of you might have seen this before)



And finally I revisited the old texture and made it look a lot better



I honestly still like my first idea the best, the one at the top of the page

I'd say the last one, but make the bright parts a little more distinct. :smile.gif:

Thanks it looks great! I'm in a hurry to leave, but I will post it on the first page on monday!

See? Most people agree that the redone version of the current glowstone works better than the others you made :smile.gif:

when i download this zip file, when i try to extract it, it says error, folder is empty

Yes i have waited until download is complete, and yes I have tried numerous times ,,,,sad face

Try using a different browser. If it still wont work then I suggest finding an older version of it like 21.0

Quote from P01UYTR3 »

I've just started using this texture pack and seriously… V21? Could you Please Please Please fix the flowing lava/water and the fire on Bricks/gold?

At the top of the last page AND in the text files in the pack, so its pretty hard to miss:

READ THIS POST BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS!

The HD Texture Patcher included in the download is NOT THE MOST RECENT PATCHER

Please download THIS patch and use this one instead of the one in the pack ---> viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=46173

This should fix any problems you have with the custom water and custom lava not working

=================================================================================

Help! My compass and watch are broken! Netherrock looks like blocks of water! Bricks look weird!

You either used the Regular Texture Pack and didn't install the HD Texture Patcher,
or you used the Texture Selector Pack and you obviously didn't read "Problems.txt"

The moral of the story is: READ THE TEXT FILES, THEY ARE THERE FOR A REASON!!

=================================================================================

Help! I can't extract the texture pack on my mac! I can't figure out how to run RAR on a mac!

Quote from betternow »

Use this http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/19139/ez7z to open winrar files is OSX. I don't like the program though and only use it when absolutely necessary. MacUpdates has practically every utility you could need to add on to your mac, bookmark the site, use google, and never ever get stopped at such a basic spot in an instillation process again.

The moral of the story is: READ THE OTHER POSTS, THEY MIGHT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION!!

Quote from SeeD419 »

Your first idea and the last one are both good. The other one looks like a goldblock from the default pack

I am now deciding only between the lantern one and the revised original one (top pic and bottom pic)




(And I wasn't actually planning on using the sponge lol)

Quote from Boogyman93 »

I vote for the revised original one.
And I think the sponge would have looked good too if the colors were the other way around (the holes to be yellow and the rest to be dark orange).

I could probably do that by inverting the colors and then changing the hue back to yellow...

Personally I would still rather use the lanterns, since they look better in ceilings and floors and on lamps,
but I guess if everyone wants the original one then that's fine too... Lanterns can be the alternate one!

NEW SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION:

Iron blocks. They look boring. Discuss. Post ideas and pictures.

These are joke suggection but hey why not post them.

Make it look like an engine.


Make it look like Ironman's colours


NOT A JOKE
