YAY AIRSHIP!!

good job glimmar!
nice textures!!

Yeehah! Got it working after cheating with spider silk!

Here's my solution for a relatively safe landing 'basket' in my Grand Railway Terminus (where I also have my private sky yacht! ):

The basket is lined with 'slowsand', green crystal sludge in my texture pack! :smile.gif:

Glimmar, you truly are a role model for any aspiring texture pack artist/ helpful community member or generally nice person. The attention to detail in both your pack and your constant updates are amazing, and the sheer amount of time and effort you continue to put into this pack shines through, inspiring others to try and be even a fraction as creative and inventive as yourself. Your choice of grammar is also immaculate, and this is one of the few places on the forums where one is not constantly bombarded with whining and trolling. I could honestly read through every single page of this thread, because I know that what I read will be genuine and heartfelt. The thread itself seems to attract the sane and collected. I only wish that you continue to hold an interest in Minecraft and your texture pack and that you continue to receive the support that you so clearly deserve.

-Claps-

Thanks for those words, mate!

Makes all the effort worthwhile and I appreciate your time taken to post such an encouraging comment. :smile.gif:

Thanks dude : D
So, except for the biome grass i seriously love this texture pack
EDIT: I found them, they're called grasscolor and foliagecolor :biggrin.gif:

Yep, those are the ones. Sorry for not having the right name, I wasn't at my computer during the earlier post. Good to know that you've found it alright. I think Glimmar had said that one of the reasons he had it the way it was was to give more diversity, especially when using the Wild Grass mod. Personally, I kinda like the greater range of colors, gives the feeling of a field of grass that hasn't gotten much rain, with patches dying out while others are still fairly green. But hey, to each his own.

I want to look into the idea of making more natural looking worn paths using the biome colours sometime, but there are so many areas of potential in this enigma called Minecraft, it might not get done for ages. I'm also getting just a little worn out at the moment, trying to keep up with all the changes and I'm not getting a chance to play with the new things like everyone else. Sorry folks! :sad.gif:

Where did you get that blue texture? I want it for my lapis lazuli blocks. :wink.gif:
*edit* I just saw your pack in the sig, will check it out

heh...that is my lapis blocks. In PipeWorld, I use Glimmars (and 1.9.1 the new bed ROCKS). I add my own for certain constructs like the Cthul, spider, so on. Some I have added for the main PW texture pack.

But I have found it very interesting how well the textures I make blend with Glimm's...

It's as if he were in my mind

:biggrin.gif:

Hehee! I am Cthulhu...and I inhabit the minds of othersssss! (sorry, that sounds more like Gollum than an all powerful extra dimensional ancient sea god) It's a brilliant Lapis variant! We like the same themes, mate!

@Jonas108: Thanks, mate! I appreciate that! :smile.gif:

I'm amazed no one's been tempted to start a 'Lord of the Rings' texture pack, but then again I liked Doku's simply because after playing vanilla Minecraft for so long, here was something that suddenly looked like I was playing 'The Hobbit'. It gave and showed everyone that Minecraft could be anything anyone wanted it to be!

Finished my airship/boat dock :biggrin.gif:
The floating airships we're ones I put down before I had a gate to keep them from floating off. One bump and away they flew...
I built the first fleet by hand, then INV-edited the later ones, because I was so frustrated that they flew away.

Top level - unpowered (higher up to decrease lift time; for casual lookabouts)
Med level - powered (for long expeditions)
Low level - Boats (using dispensers+)

That's a perfect model system for all efficient transportation needs, awesome idea.

I kinda like the way you've left the airships floating in the air, looks more natural and thanks for reminding me about the unpowered balloons, I'd forgotten about that. Off to take a look. :smile.gif:

I know mate. :smile.gif: This goes all the way back to the first beta release. I had hoped that Notch would have fixed it by now. It's not even possible to re-arrange the textures on the terrain.png. Things like that and the sides of grass you'd think would be easy things to fix in an update, but I guess they're focused on other things, like the rest of us! It kind of makes me think that he may eventually phase out the wearing of the pumpkin as a helmet altogether. Who knows! :sad.gif:

whats that big leaf for? its on the terrain png.

its a big green leaf.(they are on water,right?)

Speaking about grass:

It looks really strange in a large open plain, in an awesome way. I love it.

Oil spill.

Ha! Yeh! Come to think of it, I do need to have another look at it.

hi, i was wondering if it's possible to have the new bed texture included in the steampunk-pack so that is doesn't show like this :

A day after the beta 1.3 update I made available an updated texture pack on the first page as usual...version 1.9.1 for beta 1.3_01. This has all the latest textures for Notch's new goodies.

I can tell you are not using the latest pack because my cobblestone has also changed and the type (3 course) in your pic is from my old pack 1.8.1 and before. The new pack has new blocks to take into acount all the new half blocks, new items, steampunk 'Time Machine Bed' and the new repeater block and redstone dust.

Whenever Notch updates, you need to visit my thread and check for my latest texture pack. Compare it with the version of my pack you are using and if the version number is higher, download and install in the usual way (instructions on page 1 of this thread). Don't forget to run the latest version of xau's MC Patcher, to fix graphical glitches (link on page 1 as usual).

Have fun. :smile.gif:
