Hello, I'm in the process of making a texture pack ( viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=154942 ) and I want to include multiple options for users (alternate grass, cobble ect.). How would I go about doing something similar?

I know that the painterly pack is able to achieve this, but how?

Is there some sort of texture pack customizer program out there?

There is no such program I know of, but there is a way for people to do it. Its a program called Minecrafter. It allows people to mix and match texture packs and mods, just with a few clicks. You could include multi folders in your texture pack, involving all of them, and let the users use Minecrafter to select the textures they want each. It would possibly take some time, yes. But it would be a way.

I hope this helps.

thank you for your answer, I may end up doing this, but something more along the lines of the painterly pack customizer would be better.

If you are talking on a website, you can use the gd library in PHP to assemble the terrain image.
Something like this:

imagecopy ( $terrain , $grass_tile , 0 , 0 , 0,  0, 16 , 16 );

Where $grass_tile is the image resource they picked from a list. (Opened with something like imagecreatefrompng() )


So short answer, no I don't know of a program to do it, you would have to write it yourself.

Hmm, ok, thanks. I'm not going to spend money on webhosting (or take the time to build another site) just for a texture pack (that hasn't even had that much attention) to be more customizable.

I've noticed that there are a few authors of texture packs that simply include an extra image file (ALTERNATETEXTURES.PNG) inside of their zip file and leave it up to the user to copy paste from the alternate image file into the terrain.png file.

Works fine for those that are willing to atleast learn how to copy and paste images from one image to another.

Yeah, That seems like a suitable option. Thanks!
