Just taking a moment to wax poetic about the beautiful wolves/dogs/puppies in this pack.
Good luck with your second move Misa, and with fixing your computer problems. If you need any help with the latter (hardware or software-related), I'm happy to help in any way I can. That's about as close as I have to an area of expertise.
To clear up a little confusion that seems to have arisen by my return to the forums, I'm only back in the sense that I have regular access to the Internet again. For those who don't want to go back and read my giant walls of text, here's a summary list of things that are preventing me from working on the pack right now:
-My computer's dying and needs to be replaced as it can no longer run Minecraft on the latest versions.
-My editing tools all need to be set up again from scratch as my work hard drive was one of the first things to go.
-I am unemployed and am in process of trying to set up a stable source of income.
-Various other real-life issues I'd rather not go into.
A more recent update on that is that I may be moving YET AGAIN to another state this summer. This will hopefully help a lot with the stable source of income, but at this point I have no idea how much free time I'll have since I'll probably be going to school as well. As it is, I'm in sort of a purgatory of having more free time than I should have, but having no means to run Minecraft or work on the pack. The free time is likely to diminish though as the new move draws near. So for awhile, this really is still your best option for playing with my pack on the latest versions of Minecraft: http://www.minecraft.../topic/2251774-
Once again I'd like to thank those who have been showing and giving me their support in this chaotic period in my life. I probably can't apologize enough for not knowing when I'll actually be able to get back to work on the pack. I can only reassure you that it's not something I've given up on. Just don't take that to mean that it's coming soon, because at this point I really cannot tell when it's coming.
Also as an aside, I'm still slowly working my way through a huge backlog PM's, many of these are hard to answer as the time they were sent seems to imply that they were time-sensitive in response. So if you've sent any permission requests or other messages in the past that I have not answered but still require a response, you may get a faster response if you re-send them or send an updated version of your previously sent message.
I really feel sorry for you ): I hope you a good future, Thanks for everything you've done, I hope you get back to texturing soon (Not rushing, I'll just miss your textures :P)

Put up a paypal link (if that's allowed on these forums?). I'm sure there are 400 people who all use this pack that would be willing to donate 2 dollars each. A computer capable of running photoshop and minecraft needn't cost more than 5 or 6 hundred dollars, and we can probably scrap that much up between us, even with paypal's fees deducted. I know I've gotten more than two dollars of enjoyment out of the work you've freely posted:).

I already have a donation link up on my main post. However it's more a matter of priorities and smart management of finances than needing the immediate cash to build a new computer. As it is, any little bit of extra money I make that isn't used for current living expenses is being set aside in an emergency fund that is going towards covering costs for the second move. Moving across the country can really add up if you're not careful, and there's almost always unforeseen expenses that can just pop up on you when you least expect it. Having a home is more important than having a computer that can work on a texture pack.
In regards to my computer, I use it for way more than just running Minecraft and my editing software (I don't use Photoshop). I was pretty much raised on computers (Atari 800 was my first PC) in a time before the concept of a computer in every home was even a thing, before Windows was commercially available, and before the Internet even had graphics and was nothing but a series of Usenet BBS's and IRC. I built my first PC in the late 80's before ATX came along and made that process much more foolproof. All this is sufficed to say I've been using computers for so long and before they became as user-friendly as they are that I probably know more about them and have more uses for them than most people at this point.
With all the things I use my computer for, I pretty much need a build that's completely overkill to save money in the long-run. That's how I've built the last few PC's I've used, and this last one has lasted and served me well for nearly 8 years despite costing me a high (at the time) $750 (with a ton of rebates and sale deals). This machine, despite being so old, is still capable of running most applications/games upper mid-ranged PC's are capable of. Unfortunately it's still running on 32-bit architecture which in recent years is showing its age with most modern applications--Java, and by proxy, Minecraft among them. To upgrade my OS on this hardware would be a complete waste though as it's completely optimized for 32-bit and would be considered fairly low-end as a 64-bit system. That and my sound card is pretty much busted and my hard drives have beat their statistical predicted lifespan twofold. Everything's pretty much overdue for replacement.
All that said, please do not donate money to me expecting it to go towards building a computer that'll allow me to work on the pack. I already feel a little guilty receiving donations when I haven't done much of any work on the pack in nearly 9 months. Just be patient. Things should hopefully settle down for me after this second move, which I'm also predicting will go much more smoothly than the previous.

Aw well, I donated a few dollars to your upcoming move anyway;). Here's hoping you manage to find a decent school/job combo.
I work and go to school myself (as well as having a 9 month old baby), so I know it can be exhausting at times.
Uh...so I downloaded it and everything works apart from the fact that the mobs textures are not different like in the screenshots. Each mob {except from the horses of course} has the same texture. How do I change it so that they have varying textures, like in the screenshots? Thank you.
You need to run MCPatcher and enable random mobs for that feature to work.
Hi Misa. Tough times it seems. I recently moved across country for the third time in my life as well, I know the pains and expenses involved. In fact, it's been a year and I'm still recouping.
Hopefully things will get better for you after this bump in life, and wow. I thought I was learning about computers and then I see your last post. To put it lightly, I am in the presence of something of a master of the trade. As such I'm not entirely sure if my intent of sharing Logical Increments is actually any help, but I can still hope.
I respect your reasons for feeling guilty Misa, but I don't agree. You have contributed something great that people are (obviously) still loving and getting a lot of use out of. There's a value to that and I would encourage people to continue to contribute as they feel inclined to. Aside from the straight up consumer aspect of it, there's the human "someone is in extra need and people who want to help, should" thing. But yes, the donations should be given without an agenda or expectation. They can consider it the value of what they've already received or "good will", and not a carrot.
I am a long time user of your pack Misa and I appreciate all the work that you put into it and I give you many well wishes and look forward to the day where I can once again revel in your art.
No guilt or any such necessary Misa. You've already given the community so much.
If I may make a suggestion -- to link pscof42's patch somewhere in the OP, with an indication that it has compatible textures for the ones you are missing. I mention it only as a means to take the pressure off, so you don't feel like we're all begging you to continue. Because in truth, we aren't. We'd all love to see more of your work, but we realize that real life comes first.
I had a fair idea what was going on when I donated. It was more of a show of appreciation/the only way I had of giving back. That, plus I like to take opportunities to let those I appreciate know that they're appreciated. I can't think why anyone would come back to modding/texturing/whatever it is that they enjoy doing for others if they thought no one else gave a damn or even noticed but, more than that, I've been "there" myself.
Like many here, I've tried countless texture packs and none of them compare, so I always come back to yours. Your work is simply brilliant and contributes so much to my enjoyment of Minecraft that I cannot play without it.
Sorry to hear things are tough IRL for you. Perhaps it has already been suggested, but you could try a crowdfunding campaign to get back on your feet. Use a site like Kickstarter or GoFundMe (I suggest the latter) and ask for support in this thread. No need for any promise/obligation to work on the texture pack, or any serious rewards (just a thank-you is fine).
I think you'd be surprised how many here would be willing to donate to such a campaign. I certainly would.
I would most certainly be willing to donate if it helps any once I'm outside of my own financial situation. You would be glad to know that building a decent rig is more affordable than it's been in the past are far more efficient (by past I'm talking literally over the past 2 years.)
Get your self back on your feet and I'm sure plenty will be willing to raise some money for you to setup a new PC, if you salvage what you can such as your harddrives, case, and so on you'll save a lot of money.
I'm glad to see you posting again, Misa. I'm sorry your life has fallen on such tough times. You shouldn't feel guilty about the donations you receive, however, you've given so much to the Minecraft community throughout the years. Please know, we'll always be here if you ever need anything!
I followed the directions, got the pack in my game, but when I spawned pigs, they were all the same texture (And yes, I made sure random textures was selected). I opened MCpatcher again to investigate, and now I'm logged out of my account (I'm in the process of resetting my password). Help please!

Pls read why that is not possible right now (over the last several pages)
