latest update, couldn't wait until tomorrow to try out my idea. making stitching in the leather is a pain, but I think it looks awesome.

Also note the engraved "Crafting". While I can't change the actual text, i was able to pinpoint it's exact location to the pixel and can build around it. That is just my proof of concept, I'll come up with something better as I work on that area later.

Deleted the old image links so as to not hijack this thread with my own stuff.

Your work is just so 'classy', mate! Gorgeous in fact. With that quality of work I'm excited to see what you come up with for the other guis. I love the idea of the traveller's photograph of home stuck in his backpack. You could operate a personalisation service with that, with folk having their favourite steampunk pic stuck in! Sorry, I don't want to make more work for you! Anyone with an editor should easily do it for themselves. Lol!

@ Tlos: Sorry I'm not managing to keep up with your stuff at the moment. I will move things to the top, but just having an adventuring/building/texturing break from the forum at the mo' and just popping in briefly to see if I've cause for great concern! :biggrin.gif:

@ Gestankfaust: Just been using your robotic squid the past couple of days and it's fantastic to behold! Fits in very well with the Matrix like concept of Minecraft. :smile.gif: I will include it at the top too!

@ Everyone: As Tiger4Ruler advised folks...if you only play single player, when you've got a good working copy of Minecraft going, just make a back up of your 'bin' file and delete your password (don't forget it though!) in the Minecraft Launcher window. Then just select to play offline after clicking 'login'. This way Minecraft doesn't automatically ruin your perfect version of Minecraft by downloading some little update from Mojang.

When you feel the need to upgrade...say after a major update, just type in your password and be prepared with the latest versions of the M C Patcher and your favourite mods. Also if anything does go wrong, you can just swap back your perfect bin file and everything should be back to normal. That way you keep control over when Minecraft is updated!

I might have some updated textures for the terrain.png file ready this weekend! :smile.gif: I don't want to issue a completely updated pack though, as that usually involves re-patching with M C patcher, as you need to point the patcher at the updated zip pack. However, if you get used to just dropping the latest 'terrain.png' file (the one with all the block textures on, for those not familiar) directly into the zip file in Minecraft's Texture pack folder, then it will just replace the old terrain file and you won't need to change anything, except enjoy any new or improved textures I've come up with! :smile.gif:

Now that people have started to mention it, the sand does seem quite bright (or should I say extra 'yellowy') - Glimmer, is it the same as the original sand texture before the beta update?

Going back a few threads, I still would like to find ONE squid and ONE tree with either a variant on foliage growth or at least different bark - bummer! :/ Like you, I am very reluctant to scrap my (millions) of hours work for the sake of a new world I'm hopping some more epic travelling and more random world generation might help, then I may finally see the Squid textures!

I also understand what you are saying about the cobble/stone textures - I guess it's even harder now squeezing the alternatives on that one terrain.png!

@ Vinegrower

Your efforts are impressive!

The sand is actually darker in this version, but the colour was made warmer! :smile.gif:

I did eventually travel far enough to find 'silver birch' trees, and hate to say it, but on my travels I seemed to be finding squid in nearly every pool of water I passed (if it was deep enough). occasionally I saw them in the distance with their tentacles waving out the water! Lol! Very atmospheric.

I've just finished a 'conifer' tree foliage, tested it in game only to discover the bug that others have reported that many 'deciduous' trees have patches of the conifer texture on them too. Have yet to see a complete conifer tree though. :sad.gif:

Happy hunting, mate. :smile.gif:
