So I suggest waiting before downloading at this point so I can get 1.3 ready. I also might add that I may have to re-envision some things in the long run. sandstone now occurs naturally.. which makes it a bit odd with is current status and new redstone function may require some alterations since the off redstone is essentially black.
also mods need to be updated anyway so sound and hd texture fixer wont work
I imagine you are also well at work getting the new beds skinned :biggrin.gif:
For sandstone, that sucks, I like the potential you gave that block. But since sandstone has a pattern to its generation (I believe it only appears underneath sand blocks) the sandstone concept could stay mostly the same by making up some lore as to why it's there: e.g. the urban world that once was has since been covered up by the wastes...

If you do decide to change sandstone, please keep the old texture for something else. It really is an excellent block for ruins.
Is there anyone you can make it so that it's compatible with the way I, and many others use. Such as:
1. Search '%appdata%'
2. Double-Click .minecraft Folder
3. Double-Click TexturePack Folder
4. Then click and drag into the Texture Pack Folder
5. Close it, and then open minecraft, Select it and you're done.
When I tried that it was either Black n White (Meaning it's not for use) or my Minecraft Crashed and I had to redownload everything. So can anyone make it compatible with my way since I don't have WinRar (Cause I'm not Admin I cannot install)
I'd say that there are 2 possible things for the beds:
1: unrealistic for the crafting recipe but firs well with the theme, old stasis chambers like in portal, all beaten and dead.
2: just a quickly hobbled together sleeping utensil.
P.S. I think the beds look cute!!
lol beds are cool. But if you have those people in Servers that are a little hardheaded their going to be decorations. And if you put two together you can have someone sleep next to you. :biggrin.gif: But the only sad part is that they look cheep, and are only twin sized beds.
Wool makes some excellent blocks for building (particularly white, gray, and black). However, some of the colors look outright silly. Certainly it would be limiting to the palette if you changed some of the others, but I think you could gain a lot from it. Someone else suggested a while back in this thread that sheep be some sort of mechanical 'harvester' that combs the debris-ridden dirt (grass) for materials, and the "wool" you harvest from its back would be various metal components that can either be used right away (white/black/gray wool spawn on sheep and could still make the default metal blocks), or be combined with technologies to make devices that aren't just recolors of the white block.
For instance, blue, light blue, cyan, purple, and magenta all require the rare lapis lazuli, which is currently just a light blue block. You could follow the same pattern you did with other ores and make it a similar technology "item" (perhaps the ore would be a circuit board and the items it drops would be microchips?). Dye recipes would be designs for coloring wool to make "devices" (like the jack-o-lantern is a TV). Here's an example:
Lapis Lazuli (Microchips?) -> Blue Wool (Computer screen?)
Cactus (Toxic barrels) -> Green Wool (Radioactive material? Caution block?)
Bone Meal (Metal scrap?) -> White Wool (normal light metal block)
Cactus Green + Lapis Lazuli -> Cyan Wool ("Geiger Counter" machine?)
Bone Meal + Lapis Lazuli -> Light Blue Wool (Computer tower/terminal?)
Here's a mockup of the concerned wools. You'll notice only blue, green, cyan, and light blue have been changed.
Of course, this is just off the top of my head. There are 15 colors total to work with. I think some really cool combinations could be made to increase flavor and encourage gathering components to decorate.
Some other things I considered were having roses and dandelions follow this theme to also be components. Here's an example if what could be done if roses were antennas (which would make sense, sticking up out of the ground).
Rose (antenna?) -> Red Wool (?)
Rose + Bone Meal (metal scrap) -> Pink Wool (radio receiver? something like this)
Rose + Lapis Lazuli (microchips?) -> Purple Wool (recording device? - something like Bioshock's audio diaries)
Pink + Purple -> Magenta Wool (telephone? something like this)
Thanks for the vote of support. If History likes the mock-ups I did (they're based off of his stuff) and he likes the idea too, I'll do mock-ups for the other proposals I had (radio, recorder, telephone) and for the proposed "circuit board" block (lapis lazuli ore) that you would mine for "microchips".

I appreciate this and I do like the suggestion. The only reason I hadn't gotten to it myself is the workload of everything else. I am attempting to take a step back to observer direction especially accounting for 1.3. but If you want to do a few more mock ups I will mess around with them (assuming you don't mind me altering them) and I will try to include it relatively soon. I am going to post a quick 1.3 update sometime in the next 24 hours but perhaps I can include this in the following. It did receive the most votes in the poll to the best of my knowledge after all. special thanks will go to you of course.
ps. I will also include the WIP of night vision tomorrow. Thank you again to farty16 for providing the screen.

Absolutely, happy to help. Feel free to alter them as much as you'd like. I intentionally emulated your style as closely as possible (even copying sections off other blocks) to ensure that there would be no clash. I've improved the computer block (blue wool), and finished a mockup of the radio block (pink wool). By tomorrow, I can have mockups of my telephone and audio-dairy posted, too. My only hesitation as of right now is that I am not confident in designing an antenna texture for the rose (assuming you're okay with that particular suggestion).
For quick reference, these are my proposed designs. Blue indicates completed mock-up.
Rose: antenna
Dandelion: ???
Black Wool: rusted metal (no change)
Gray Wool: reinforced metal (no change) [white + black]
Light Gray Wool: heavy reinforced metal (no change) [white + gray]
White Wool: metal plate (no change)
Green Wool: toxic container
Lime Wool: ??? [green + white]
Red Wool: ???
Pink Wool: radio receiver [red + white]
Blue Wool: computer screen
Purple Wool: voice recorder [red + blue]
Magenta Wool: telephone [purple + pink]
Yellow Wool: ???
Orange Wool: ??? [red + yellow]
No problem. It's my pleasure to help out on projects that I enjoy. Actually, with your new Geiger-counter design, it makes my contribution seem to pale in comparison, but perhaps I at least saved you time in the development of the concept and the initial layout.
As for my progress, I've gone through more than ten designs for the phone over the past hour, but I think I finally have something that is passable, if not dreary. I touched up the computer and the radio came out excellent, so those are two things to look forward to. I'll post all of them when I complete the recorder design.
EDIT: Here's the new WIP:
New stuff:
-Touched up computer.
-Added phone.
-Added recorder.
-Added radio.
Enlarged: The recorder doesn't look right... maybe it's because I'm tired, but I keep feeling like it's smiling at me. I think tomorrow I'm going to flip the locations of the recording light and the 'microphone' portion.
I need to get some shuteye for now. Tomorrow I'm going to brainstorm ideas wools plus dandelions. Here's what I've got so far: Lime Wool: Water purifier? [green + white] (Making this recognizable without writing it directly on the block may be difficult. Concept images: 1, 2, 3) Red Wool: Antenna tower block? Might look like the supports seen here. Dandelion: possibly AC unit? concept shots: 1, 2 -- would logically appear on roof/surface, has potential for flavor and utility Yellow Wool: fan blades? -- industrial fan has potential for looking great Orange Wool: ??? [red + yellow] - no idea what combines the attributes of transmissions and AC
The recorder doesn't look right... maybe it's because I'm tired, but I keep feeling like it's smiling at me. I think tomorrow I'm going to flip the locations of the recording light and the 'microphone' portion.
yeah, it looks quite a bit like bender from futurama, i think switching the tape deck part with the "speaker" part would help, or splitting the "speaker" in half and having part above and below the tape deck

SNIP!
I assure you, that even if I change the look a lot that this is very helpful. I hadn't touched the wools because it was a bit overwhelming to try to conceptualize them while doing everything else in this pack. What you are providing is a logical way of assigning wools to devices (since it is justified by the dyes). Some will probably look more like your designs than others but even in the case of the Geiger-counter ( which I suppose I changed considerably) having your design as reference was a big help.
Again, This is a big help and I really appreciate it.

Can you make a Non-HD version.
eventually I will. But I will probably only do the terrain in 16x16. to the best of my knowledge everything else functions fine despite resolution.

This is precisely what was being discussed much earlier in the thread as to what wool should be. Mad props for putting it all together!
FYI - Geiger counters in the 1950's were a yellow/orange color. You can use these images as reference: http://rogerwendell.com/images/nukes/cd ... a_1960.jpg http://media.photobucket.com/image/1960 ... G_0326.jpg
I have several of these in my basement, and there were some variations, such as having diagonal stripes along the side (similar to your coal ore block), and some stand upright and take constant survey measurements, but the most notable thing is they were all the same color to be easily identifiable.
