Ahh... That's what it was. I wondered about this myself.I recommend doing what Glimmar suggested.

I only realized this myself when the question was asked. Lol!

These pre-release Minecraft versions have created quite a bit of confusion for users and disparity between the texture packs and mods, with most texture artists feeling the pressure to keep up with Notch's new features and modders being more sensible and sticking with the stable 1.8.1

I just had an idea, if you ever completely finish/finish a large portion of your world, you could create a steam-punk TV show/ movie XD maybe a minecraft version of the league of steam! :tongue.gif:

If I ever retire, that's exactly what I'm looking forward to doing. I've only made 3 or 4 little movies, but really enjoyed making and uploading 'em. :biggrin.gif:

Actually I'm rather looking forward to Minecraft just being stable and finished, then I can finally complete the pack and look to building and mods and stuff. :smile.gif:

'League of Steam'? Just googled it...never heard of it! And what a spiffing place it is, so I made a shortcut for inspiration! Thanks, mate. :smile.gif:

On the subject of the bed again, although my preference is definately for something ambiguous like we have now, and not wishing to sound completely negative to those who like their beds cosy and warm, if time permits and if I did make a start on uploading to the Minecraft Customiser, an alternative would not be out of the question! However, I'll be stickin' to my re-animation bed...you, you softies! :tongue.gif: Besides...have you never thought about where all the zombies come from?

Does anybody know if this Texture pack works with 1.8?

If it does then i am sorry for not noticing it.

Texture Packs are usually backwards compatible, and this one is no exception. You won't be able to see anything Notch programmed in for the 1.9 pre-release versions, but unless Notch has changed the 'position' of a terrain block or item (and I don't think he did...just added new stuff), then you shouldn't notice any difference if you're still using 1.8. All the stuff in 1.8 is still in my pack + any improvements, eg. like my new faster 32x custom water, lava, fire and portal animations.

Installing the latest version 3.1 in your texture pack folder won't damage anything (they're just .png graphics) so give it a try, and definately no need to apologise for not noticing it...it's been around for a while now, but it keeps a low profile (it's exclusive to the Minecraft Forums Texture Pack Section), and for that hopefully makes it all the more special when discovered for the first time. :biggrin.gif:

Hope you it lives up to your expectations, darthdylan98. :smile.gif:

Quote from Dr. Kylstein

I'd like to point out that animated tiles do work in 1.8. Kahr's patcher automatically detects which version is installed and functions appropriately. I'm using it for 1.8 right now and everything works fine.

Thanks for letting me know. :smile.gif:

I haven't had the time to revert back and test it, so had to answer cautiously regarding 1.8 queries.

He's a clever one that kahr! :biggrin.gif:

Looks like there will be quite a few new Steampunk-ish mods coming out shortly. The Weekly Content Contest for this week is Steampunk Mods. Wouldn't be surprised if you get a lot more requests to texturize for them… :dry.gif:

Lol! Yeh! I'm keeping my head down, but is it really feasible that a mod can be made in under a week?

I'm curious to see what comes out of it, but I'm not really one for any kind of competition myself (don't like the razamataz associated with such things.:biggrin.gif:), though I know this wouldn't have been open to texture packs anyway, but if any future comps feature texture packs, just so you know folks, I won't be entering and I'm of the opinion that competitions should only be open to new material anyway, and I'm definately not starting another texture pack!! :biggrin.gif:

Quote from selven

Speaking of texturizing, Glimm, Can I get you to recolor bricks a dark purple again?

Haha! Have you got a pic of what I did before, selven, so's I can match the color? I can't find what I did before, but I remember doing it. :smile.gif:

Quote from lagg0saurusrex

Perfect! You've really represented the steampunk theme as best as possible for a minecraft texture. Great work!

Thanks, mate.

I try my best, so glad you like it. :smile.gif:

Yea, sorry I haven't been stopping by more often, I've been having exams for the past couple of weeks! (finish tomorrow though, sweet!) Glad you understand though. :biggrin.gif:

I really do wish notch would fix the biome triangles and the transitions between biomes. I really loved your biomes, they were so varied and awesome!
We can always hope that it'll be fixed for the full release though. Only a couple more days until we find out!

Quote from goldbefound

cool texture but its not for 1.8

It works in 1.8 just fine. I'm still running 1.8 (the server I play on isn't updated for the pre-releases) and I don't have any issues.

Quote from theuber1

I love steampunk. Awesome texture pack I love it!

Quote from Tobi4545

Goddamn <3 I've been using it for a month now. I loves it. Highly recommend it to anyone who can run these.

Quote from MineMapper

Steampunk ftw! :biggrin.gif:

Thank you indeed! Really glad you like the pack and thanks for the encouragement one and all. :smile.gif:

Quote from FreddJW

Do you think it is allowed for them to get ideas off others? Because I tried making one, and failed miserably! Yet all the ideas of mine are still there...just waiting...pencil drawings and all, it is quite sad that I failed so spectacularly and destroyed my minecraft. :sad.gif: I think that whoever created the competition must use your texture pack Glim, it is the only explanation, considering the lack of steampunk type things for minecraft!

Very often people have the talent to programme, but don't have the ideas, so I'm sure someone will pick up on them. Hopefully they would credit you or whoever it was they got an idea off...something I don't always remember to do I hasten to add, considering what a melting pot of ideas this place is. :smile.gif:

I must admit I was a bit surprised at the choice of 'steampunk' as the second competition. :blink.gif:

Quote from srgnoodles

thank you kind sir glimmar now i can enjoy the splendor of your textures

My pleasure. I'm not always able to help, being a bit of a noob myself, but when I can I'm happy and surprised too! :biggrin.gif:

Quote from RJ603

WOW love this texture pack you must have put a lot if work into this

Thanks, RJ603. :smile.gif:

Over the past year I suppose I have put a lot of work in. I'm also pretty painstaking and critical and things go through numerous edits...so probably more hours than I care to calculate.

Best wishes for the results and pleased you can taste freedom! :biggrin.gif:

Yeh, the biome problem and the hardcoding of the drippy drips and stuff is a bit of a downer at the moment.

Is Notch still going ahead with an 11.11.11 release? I thought he'd put it back to avoid the rush for Skyrim.

Can't decide about that game by the way. I'm a PC only guy, so it pains me a little that one of my favourite series of all time (and I played the very first version on the Amiga!) seems to be intended for console, with a port to PC. :sad.gif: Someone please tell me it's not so. :ohmy.gif:

...and glad torturran can confirm, along with others, that it does indeed work with 1.8...as it should.

Logically if you think about it, Notch usually only adds more stuff and only occasionally moves textures around. Therefore if you stick with an earlier version of Minecraft a more uptodate texture pack should still serve it's needs, unless you use a very old version of our favourite game, where the position of old textures has been moved (I'm thinking of things like the bed and redstone pipe textures).

Quote from selven

If memory serves, I tried my own hand at recoloring the non-nether bricks and am immensely dissatisfied with the result.

I'll have a go as soon as I can, mate. I take it the shade of purple on the terrain.png you uploaded is roughly the one you're after? You're version of purple brick doesn't look bad to me, selven. :smile.gif:

I'm just wrestling with the Eye of Ender textures at the mo' and have started again with a new simplified version of the mob spawner. I've been very disatisfied with the mob spawner as found in the current version of GS. I'm also trying out a new version of gravel based on the giant edible mushroom texture.

Sorry to be off topic here, but I though I would share this for my esteemed fellows on this topic. It is not much, but the WHOLE works of H.P. Lovecraft! http://cthulhuchick.com/(I hope that the link is allowed, if not, I do apologise)

No, that's fine by me. :smile.gif:

I have the complete works of H.P. Lovecraft and dip into it from time to time, when in the mood. I didn't know it was on Kindle though...I must search for that version to add to my growing kindle library. :biggrin.gif:

Quote from selven

The bricks themselves look pretty good, its the mortar in between that doesn't. There's not enough contrast from the bricks for it to be eye-catching. But yes, that's the shade o' purple I'm looking for.

I shall cast my beady eye over it and add a few more alts to the collection. :smile.gif:

Just bear with me though, as this flip'n Eye of Ender needs a good bashing, just can't get that perfect blend that also works as a plain ender block. :dry.gif:
