I really think making the cobblestone and mossy cobble into iron plates and rusty iron plates would be the best option, and then just take the cobble stone texture and use it as bricks. If you don't want to do that, you could make one of the 3x4 or 4x4 or 2x2 paintings into iron plates. What you should MUST do with paintings is also make some of them some sort of decorative mechanisms, like pipes, gauges, and all that. Like these (don't just make them paintings :P)
Haha! You guys keep making me chuckle with offers of monetary reward, I'm taking it as a compliment, but I'm getting there, and you shall have it 'all' for free...just nice that people want it though. All the ideas I'm getting in this thread are awesome too! I'll eventually get round to looking at mobs, etc. after the Terrain file is out and this thread will be were I keep coming back for ideas.
If people do actually use these textures, I'd really like to see what things you do...all those nautilus's, blimps, dirigibles, ships, mole machines, mansions, sewers...
Just finished mob cage, but want to work on another item to spur me on before I upload a pic.
Thanks for all the encouragement. :smile.gif:

I think the stone and cobble will have to stay for now, but you are absolutely right about iron plates. I'll do something about that with the clay, though later. Also after the Halloween update, there might be a few more things to play around with.
Thanks for the pics...that's exactIy what I had in mind for the art.png. I will definately be using a number of the painting slots for extra mechanisms, pipes, etc., (I mentioned the same idea earlier in the thread), but also some emblems and blueprints...really wish we had more slots in the art file! :sad.gif: However, this will have to come later. I'm sure it won't stop you guys doing your own thing too, and I'll add my bit when I get time! The scope for using the paintings is too good an opportunity to miss - especially since finding out paintings have a transparent layer, can be free-standing and walked through. Gosh! Aint Minecraft a dream for the creative juices!
The jet-black lines in the centre of the mob spawner look horribly out of place..
Make them like wire/metal rods or something? give them a bit of shading.. Apart from that, freak'n awesome!
Thanks, Garacesh.
I wasn't entirely satisfied with the rods I had there. They're actually dark green and hoping to look like they were silhouetted against the green flames. Not perfect, but I do like the idea of wire rather than metal rods. I think something like wire mesh would fit really well with the diving bell reference, but I still want to have them darkly silhouetted to accentuate the green flames, as the light is thrown out from behind. I never give up on trying for what looks best for the theme. Hehe...this is like being back at art school, it's easy to get stuck with something and great to have input to bounce me out. Feedback is all important!
Can we all bump this like crazy? I want everyone to know about it :biggrin.gif:

Finally found my sketch book. I'll see about throwing together a few quick sketches of what I see in my head when I say "Brass automaton" and maybe a suit of armor or two!

WHY ARENT YOU DONE YET?!? just release it dude, I dont get why you are holding out on us like this. You should just release it, then update it once a week. It'll at least give us something not to only look forward to, but know that it will be released on a certain date. certantiy is key, making us wait an unknown amount of time has already got me looking at other skins. I may find a better one before yours comes out, then I wont care for yours at all. Pleases be reasonable.
I would like to throw out there the hope that you'll steampunk-itize the boats as well. I get a bit tired of strait wooden boats...especially now that there is an awesome use for them with the Hoverboat mod (boat as mini-airship!). Just a request, and keep up the good work!
I second the above post. I plan on making an aerodrome for my airships to dock at and finding the hoverboat mod has made this idea all the more awesome along with your coming texture pack (which I really want more now that I have started building said airships).

Curse PremiumIdea was based on a kind of pressure chamber, diving bell construct. Not entirely happy with it, but then I never am! Lol.
Dammit, now I'll have to hack in some mob-spawners to use in my submarine...Curse this pack for being so awesome!
