I wish I'd been able to get more of your textures in this shot...
Guess who showed up for breakfast?
Lol!
Don't you just hate it when the neighbours pop round unexpectedly.
@ Gestankfaust: That's a mighty fine kz.png file. Great choices and as Tiger4Ruler says, you just had to put H P Lovecraft in there, he's as cool a character as anyone he created in his stories, but it'd give me the shivers having his eyes follow me around all the time!
Love the airvents and other pics, etc. All just right for the theme. :smile.gif:
Who couldn't like the Water Biome mod? Is the pic using your custom watercolor.png file?
@ ksheep: It's good to know the Ruins mod works with the airship. Have you tried it with the water biome mod? Sorry just being lazy here, but if i can save myself jigging Minecraft bins around and reinstalling etc. I prefer to get the opinions of folk who I can trust, like yourself. I'm looking forward to trying it and seeing what can be done with the building templates. :smile.gif:
@ Tiger4Ruler: I love the works of H P Lovecraft, but I can only stand to read him in short doses. Very heady, darkly atmospheric stuff, but I need to get out in the sun afterwards to remind myself that something isn't hiding in the walls or cellars of the house we live in. Our house would probably pass quite nicely as a set for one of his stories...late Victorian/Edwardian...not the place you want to be in when the winds blow and you fancy reading some Lovecraft!
How did you get to work? I can't get it to work. I installed and patched the Texture Pack, then installed it. How did you do it?
Reaper, I couldn't get it to work either, but aTempest here had the solution for me:
Quote from aTempesT »
I just tried out the biome water and I had the same problem you are having where it would run fine but the water wouldn't change. It seems that it requires modloader v5, so since I was (and I assume you are) using v4 it wasn't working. Once I switched to v5 it worked fine for me. (I use airship and too many items though I don't believe your other mods would conflict.)
Also, I'm still not absolutely sure where the 'watercolor.png' file goes, so I both put the folder it's in in the mod download ('Nandonalt's' I think it's called) in the minecraft.jar and a copy of just the watercolor.png file into the 'misc' folder. Still not sure which one is being read. Hope this helps you! :smile.gif:
@Glimm - That's just what ever was included in the mod...and on a new world I created for Mythos (by typing "Cthulhu" in the "seed" box) to include with the pack (starter map). Kinda funny how it all worked out huh? Or...scary how it worked out?
I installed the map by using v5 after reading that comment. But all I did was drag the contents of the water biome mod straight into the MC jar main directory. Which would add the folder that the biome file was in. It didn't work on PipeWorld (cause it was SMP?), but worked in the new world. I installed it twice this way and it worked both times.
HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Haha! WEEKEND! I really should have a go with the seed generation thingy. Haven't yet used it once. I was quite impressed with the colours of the standard watercolor.png file and happily it's not made anything look nasty around my long established base. It seems to have made the water more transparent though, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Lol! :biggrin.gif:
I took a break last night and revisited the 16x16 project. (I know...funny break) But I noticed you released the alt stone and ores earlier this week. This is the match to the cobble Pipe and I use and what I used for the 16x. So I did the stone and it looks great!
But the rest didn't work out without destroying the details or looking funky and not tiling well (I was tired too :tongue.gif:). So I was wondering...so they turn out better...are you able to better translate these to 16x16? I guess maybe the ores aren't that important...but I'm picky when i do stuff :biggrin.gif:
Oh...and we soon will have a now"friend" to skin

Oh! I'm terrible at translating stuff down to 16x16, that's why I find icons such hard work I guess. If I've time, 'cos I'm doing my best to try and finish off the items and my big sheet of alternative textures over the next few days, I'll have a look, but no promises. I honestly think you'd do a better job, mate! :smile.gif:
Incidentally I had a PM today from someone asking for permission to use my textures, to make their own 16x16 version of my pack. I mentioned I had no objections, but that you were already doing a GlimmarFaust version using a lot of my textures also, so I'm not sure what he will decide to do! :smile.gif:
If I've time I'll try and put up samples of some of the new alternate textures.
Is that a vid of Notch's work? I really don't get out much, but I didn't see anything on 'The Word of Notch' today. They and their behaviour look incredible!
Jens spent most of the week working on a new mob; the wolf! You can tame it and order it to follow you around, and it’ll work as a pet.
also there will be archievements, not too hyped about that.
No, I agree, achievements kind of smacks a little of Call of Duty, et al, whilst I'm more into building. Each to his own I suppose...a lot will love it I'm sure. :smile.gif:
Gotcha Glimm...no worries about it though. I'm not trying to add to your plate from the one I overloaded. :biggrin.gif: I have some ideas on what to do. And I kinda wanna finish at least the textures up in the project. The Mythos thing will be on going.
On the achievements thing...he said:
Achievements will NOT be chores like “cut down 10000 trees”, but rather challenges like “ride a pig off a cliff”. Stats, however, will be used to keep track of how many trees you have cut down. The long term plan is to show achievements and stats from the profile page on minecraft.net as well, in case you want to brag.
Just keep in mind that because you can design your own levels and run your own servers, people will be able to cheat with achievements and stats! :wink.gif:
So it's intended to be frivolous I think.

No, don't worry Gestank. I'm curious now to see what my ores would look like reduced. i can imagine the difficulty is with them being made up of a lot of small chunks rather than a few lumps. They'll end up only being a pixel or two in size! I forgot to say that dirt, rock and sand in your pic look fantastic. I have to do a double take that they're not still 32x32!
If, when I'm trying to finish off these extra textures, etc. and I remember, I'll have a tinker. The other thing, which is daft really, is my aversion to mess with my Minecraft set up when I've got things set up just right for editing. I'd need to set up a 16x16 bin so that I could view the editing in the round and I'm just being lazy and on edge wondering when Notch's update will surface. It'll happen just when I'm switching between the two resolutions!
I'm all for frivolous acheivements! So, more like Team Fortress rather than CoD! I'd do better in the cut down 10,000 trees bracket really, but I guess there's no way of really awarding folk for building epic sized airships or bridges, etc. :smile.gif:
Looks like someone is starting to attempt to port Mo' Creatures to SMP with the goal to dl the client patches from the SMP. Though I can see where this could mess up someones client. http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1023&t=222855
Sneak Peak at Some New Alternate Textures
Alternate Cobble and Netherplate textures:
More samples to follow over the next few days. Nothing astounding, just variations on a theme/colour and trials of possible textures you might prefer for special builds inplace of the standard textures. I should say, more to follow, If I get more time that is, as I'm quite busy again this weekend. Good weather forecast here in the North West of England, so I'm hopefully doing some 'real' landscaping, but without a diamond pic (sadly) and possibly a bit of 'real world' art, lol!
If anyone is still curious, here's the sort of thing I do with art materials in this 'real world' i speak of (oil pastels on paper):
In these somewhat fraught financial times, this is the sort of thing that doesn't make me much money anymore! Not that it ever did. Lol! :biggrin.gif: Anyway, a bit off topic, so I won't bore you with any more here.
Have a nice weekend, folks. :smile.gif:
@ CuZnDragon: I really should have another look at what's happening with the Bukkit server system. Since Notch's last update, I went back to single play to update everything and while i did that, my son lost interest in helping me on our server, so I kind of just stayed in single player mode. :sad.gif: Notch is breaking up families now! ...Joke folks, honest!
If anyone would like to give some support to Glimmar's Steampunk, by way of using my sig. pic here is the code:

Finally got some free time to play some Minecraft again, and I made some more videos.
Not much is new, just a rebuilt farm that was lost due to the latest update. I did however
finally figure out how to make my videos HD. But the only thing is that they turned out to
dark.
Enjoy,
Now off to the SteamCraft forums

hey :smile.gif: i modified the foliage colours a little bit for my own personal use, i thought i would post some screen shots, if anyone wants the foliage.png i can post that too,
me flying around in my Sopwith Camel using the awesome planes mod :smile.gif:
I saw some horses and other cool creatures from the Mo Creatures mod, right beside a lava pool so i thought i would land and check it out, right after this screen the horses jumped in the lava.
and i took back off :smile.gif:
and damn im out of fuel, had to ditch the plane and walk back, maybe i should try a fokker next time :smile.gif:
Glim, your work with biome colors has proven to be phenomenal to say the least. I now use your work in every one of my alternate texture packs. Top notch.
On another note, do you have a website for your artwork? I'd love to see more of it.
