Huh. My game crashes on startup using this ever since I deleted the 64 bit Java binary thingy so that Minecraft would work better with Steam.

Is deleting the 64 bit thing an issue with 256x256, and if so, will 128x128 work?

The 64bit Java is nearly required to run the x256 so without it, it probably won't work. The x128 should work fine without it, though. =)

I'd still say having 64bit java, and needing to F11 out of the game for Steam is better off for the [HUGE] performance boost.

I don't notice a performance difference at all using 32-Bit Java, but it has been uncomfortable without the 256x256 pack. I'll give the 128x128 pack a try, and if I still can't live w/o it, then back to Java 64-Bit, regardless of the incompatibility with the Steam overlay.

64-Bit Java just increases performance with 64 bit computers.

I told you I'd get it :biggrin.gif:

The 256 pack runs fine with no block adding mods, but when I add IndustrialCraft, the lag becomes unbearable. Any idea why this might happen or what I could do to fix this?

256 packs are few and far between, but this one is one of my favorite for anything underground. When I'm above ground however, the textures give off a dark feel that just isn't pleasant for creating wonderful structures.

I know this really isn't something you can just up and fix, and there are some people who like it, so all I can say is thank god for the MCPatcher HD fix 2.0 so I can use this pack whenever I go underground and not have to re-patch to go build my structures.

Keep up the good work, like I said, I love it!

I thought this seemed interesting, and looked it up.
whoever wrote that wiki slaughtered the English language completely, and along with using "HAYO" almost every paragraph, I have a sudden urge to kill myself after bombing every single 12 year old who has ever said hayo.

other than that, the mod is quite cool looking.

I just lost quite a great deal of respect for Notch.

I love the look of this pack, but i've run in to an issue. It doesn't allow me to place blocks

A texture pack is incapable of preventing you from placing blocks.
Your issue lies elsewhere.

Lol, I'm surprised I have that many posts to begin with. XD

Industrialcraft adds in massive amounts of textures. Keep in mind these are all translated into 256x256 regardless if they look pixelated or not. This is likely your cause for the lag.

Haha, thanks mate. =)
I did try to give it a more darker, realistic feel to it which makes the cave exploration terrifying, even for me.

I'm not sure whether to be impressed at you digging that old post up, or making your water sparkle. XD

....Wow.
Yep, lost quite a significant amount of respect as well. =/

HOW could you possibly said mipmapping sucks???? Especially when it not only conserves memory usage, but also eliminates that obnoxious moire that 90% of the vanilla textures make. Pissed. :sleep.gif:

Exactly. Texture packs make absolutely no alterations to the game's coding. Are you too close to the spawn point?

The least they could do is use a different method for transparency so we can code mipmapping ourselves.

No kidding... RUDE! =(

In the mean time, I guess we have to bank on people modding the game better than he wants to.

I almost hate you for posting that because now I'm really upset that mipmapping likely won't be implemented. But thanks, solid info.
Although, he did say that he hated the better lighting. @_@

Did he now? I don't recall that, but then again I didn't stalk Notch on twitter then as much as I do now.
Did he implement it because he changed is mind, or because it was heavily requested?

I'd imagine because of both. MrMessiah had a huge fan base around him probably naggin him until he caved. I think the quote was somewhere along the lines of "It doesn't fit into Minecraft" instead of the straight up "mipmapping sucks", but there is still that chance if we can push it home. =)

Also, was that MrMessiah = Jeb rumor really true. I never managed to figure it out and I'm way out of the loop. Hell, I'm still in 1.3_01 because I'm too lazy to update all of the mods I have installed, lol
I think I'll do 1.5, though. It has some promising additions.

Hadn't heard that rumor before.
I'm fairly certain it isn't true.
I do believe MrMessiah was Pro-HD Texture Packs, Jeb says they look like ****.

You better. I want proper HD snow, mother****er. >:|

No, the actual quote really was "mipmapping sucks". It's on his twitter right now. It was pretty upsetting, because things like mipmapping and anisotropic filtering fit with ANY 3D application. It's these kinds of things that make me worry Notch doesn't know what he is talking about :[

Tried running 256x256. I finally found something my computer couldn't handle. Besides that I do like the 128x128, but the slightly increased resolution over 64x64 isn't worth the drop in framerate, at least not until optimine is updated. I really wish someone would revive Albion...
