I've discovered an odd bug with the CTM tiling on your quartz blocks.

When I have a horizontal row of them, the horizontal tiling connects properly on the North and West faces like this:

But on the South and East faces, the connection is inverted like this:

I'm not sure if this bug is specific to your pack, or endemic of CTM textures as a whole, but I've only ever seen it on your quartz blocks so far.

I believe this is a CTM bug caused by a bug in the 1.7.2 update. You may notice that similar glitches of swapped textures appears with doors and the sides of beds. I'm fairly sure that Mojang is aware of the issue and will hopefully have it fixed by 1.7.3.

ksheep is right, BrokenEye. I've seen those glitches all over the place with 1.7.2. so it was a Mojang problem as far as I know. I haven't checked that specific quartz block problem (still wandering around in forests planting bluebells!), but the 'reverse side flip' issue has been fixed in the latest 1.7.3 snapshot.

I believe your texture pack may now have more different kinds of plants than exist in the real world.

And no worries, you have *at least* six followers, possibly even seven-ty thousand.

I'll never cope with the pressure of seven! I'll stick at seven as a max as that's supposed to be a holy number.

As regards plants, and the making of them, I think Rayvolution probably holds the record for most plants (indeed, most of everything!). I do get a lot of fun out of making random plants though, which seems strange given the theme. I guess it's an indication I don't get out enough in the real world. I also need to curb the fun and get on with finishing up on the update.

A set of bluebells have just been added to ferns, but I need to sort out all the plant variations so they appear according to biome, ie. more bluebells and ferns, etc. in forests and that sort of thing. For this next update it'll just be a mish-mosh.

Aye, its often hard to tell how many you've got because the greater part of 'em never say anything. The silent majority, if you will.

I'm down to maybe one person who actually talks on mine. But people keep downloading, so there's got to be at least bit more than that.

On a semi-unrelated note: Why isn't "silent majority" a euphemism for dead people?

I'd rather have the silent majority than the 'restless dead'.

I reckon that the same 6 people who regularly visit just keep redownloading my pack in the vain hope that I might have updated, or that something's been fixed!

If that's the reason you have a high volume of downloads then reading comprehension fail on our part.

I'm the only comprehension failure round here...it's what I do best!

.....GS v14 Sunflower CTM!

A real pain to do!



Rest of the pics? Click the spoiler button.

By the nature of it's design it's difficult to get a lot of variation in the flower head, due to the back being an exact flipped mirror of the front. The centre circle and the petal color are the only things that can be randomised about the head. I could do the back too, but at this late stage it's not worth the time and effort.

The bottom and top sections of the stem along with the leaves have also received a good bit of random ctm magic...just enough to stop those unsatisfactory infinite ranks of the same shapes. I heartily agree with those who have said you can never have enough random ctm. However, this is tempered by the fact you can never have enough time either.

Must press on...

Those are terrifying, like a crowd of short people dressed up as lions, all just staring at me...

Haha! ...and now the sun has gone down, they turn to the viewer in search of sustenance for the dark night to come. :/

There is something kinda 'triffid-like' about sunflowers! Would have been even creepier if Mojang had made them slowly turn towards the player.

I bet you'll have fun with your sunflowers, if you haven't already. I'm not sure I dare come and see, especially if you think mine look terrifying!

Quote from 13thMurder

Mine probably won't even be plants. They'll probably be some sort of metal thing. Maybe wind turbines, or solar panels, or maybe i'll make them some sort of fungi.

They most definitely have lots of scope for imagination.

.....GS v14 Syringa CTM!

Every leaf individually painted...seriously, OCD!

Quote from Droideka30

Yeah, it's a vanilla bug. Just place down a block if TNT, and you'll see the reversed "N" on two sides.

Haha! TNT's a good way of illustrating the 'flip' glitch!

Happy Turkey Day!!

Been trying to either come up with inspiration to build or see if I can convert Mythos to the new format and continue working on it.

Love the new stuff I see here though. Is what made me at least start playing again

Now if I could only find a friendly active server with actual people onnit to play on....

Faust!! How you doin' mate.

Good to see you're still alive and kickin'. Glad you like the new stuff I'm slowly plowing through. When folk see the quantity of ctm I've been working on for the next update they might understand that I've not really been going that slow after all.

Well I hope you do get Mythos up and running again, but there's an awful lot to do if you haven't been following things. MCPatcher CTM is the joy and bane of my life at the mo'. At the rate I'm going, I dare say you'll be up and running before me.

Sorry I can't help you with the task of server hunting though, I'm strictly a one man one world Robinson Crusoe kind of player...multiplayer is just plain scary.

All the best for Mythos, mate and if you do get back into it, I shall be over to check things out like a flash.

Wow, those like nice.

Lol! We posted over each other.
