Dusty, first of all YOU'RE AWESOME <3, I love your texture pack and it's really easy to install :biggrin.gif: Secondly, have you seen the new item and terrain images Jeb released for texture makers?

I have not. I checked his twitter and still have not found anything.

edit: Nevermind I found it!

I like it, a lot. But the zombies scare me lol

Then I did my job well!

If anyone is interested I thought I'd go ahead and release this little album that contains all the canvases I've made to work on this single texture pack. It contains a lot of unused graphics, WIP stages and such and I thought it might be interesting to look through if you're into that sort of stuff(kind of like a Behind The Scenes thing).

And what would you know, it also contains the canvases where I made my icons from scratch, even showing various stages of them! You know, something that wouldn't be possible if I stole them from Gerudoku!

Also, nothing in that album is for anyone to use, so please don't ask/take it.

Hello! I was hoping I'd have more time to work on this but since 1.8 has been leaked I've been working all day to get everything done in time for an early release! However, do not despair, just because I have managed to get everything done early does not mean quality was sacrificed!

I present to you, DustyCraft 1.8.pre!

http://dustyshouri.dreamhosters.com/dustycraft_v1.8.pre.zip

The changelog is huge, but I will try to get everything covered!

> Glass has been changed to accommodate the new glass panes. I'm not a big fan but I had no choice but to greatly simplify the design because of the way panes work.
> Chests have been redone to fit with the new model layout that Notch has implemented. I did not enjoy this, not only does he force his design on us(top is only 10 pixels in height!) but he also shrunk the entire texture of the chest.
> The HUD hearts have again been redone, and I am quite happy with them now! As well, I have made new graphics for the new 1.8 HUD icons. I will admit I have hardly messed with these in game so I'm not sure if they're working right(poisoned, for example. Or eating tainted food). New graphics include experience bar, food icons and latency icons(smiley faces instead of bars!)
> Of course, graphics to get everything working for 1.8! This incluuuuuuudes:
--> Watermelon blocks
--> Watermelon stems
--> Red and brown mushroom blocks and stems
--> Dungeon blocks, including mossy and cracked
--> Iron bars
--> New bow sprites for readying the bow
--> Ender pearl
--> Raw and cooked beef
--> Raw and cooked chicken
--> Rotten flesh
--> Watermelon slice
--> Pumpkin and Melon seeds

I think that covers it... I will have to say however that almost all the additions into 1.8 seem to be rare occurrences. This means I didn't really get the chance to go through and actually see most of the new graphics in their intended way. For example I have not found any dungeon strongholds, or actual mushroom biomes(I spawned them via mushrooms + bonemeal), and I'm still waiting for my watermelon to grow. I have spent an hour or two just exploring in the game trying to find these things, but it's a time-consuming process that I just couldn't afford to do AND make the graphics. So if there are any problems, please let me know! Also, I'm aware I haven't done EVERYTHING. I'm still not sure about some graphics(like the new ones at the bottom of terrain.png), and some things have been ignored for now such as the Creative Mode GUI.

Onto the screenshots!













I hope you enjoy!

I love your texture pack but, could you fix the glass? Like make it clear and have a boarder around it. The glass you have now is kinda ugly.

You can't have borders because they didn't do a very good job of sorting out how to texture the glass panes.

You end up with this:

Quote from Volke

Surely there is something you could do. I mean, the glass really does look awful.

There really isn't. Glass simply looks broken when you add a border, and they don't want to add semi-transparency support to glass so what you can do with it is severely limited.

Quote from Volke

Why don't you do a simple glass border like the default pack does? Sure, it wouldn't exactly be your style, but at least it wouldn't look awful.

If there will be a fix then it will be in the next update, but I can't guarantee anything. I can't say it looks that bad though... I don't feel borders really add that much to it. What happened to the appeal of a large pane of glass?
