Hey Sheep,
I can't remember if you use GIMP or Pain.Net, but I'm hoping you use GIMP because I could really do with some help. I'm gonna sound like a complete idiot, but I really hat GIMP. Mainly beecause, I have no idea how to re-size images (Like on Paint.net, where you can just drag the corners) and when I paste something, I can't just move it and start editing the main picture again, it won't let me come off the pasted, floating layer. I tried de-selecting, pressing random buttons, but I just can't get off that dam floating section. I realise your not here to help noobs like me, but if you have any idea, it would be REALLY appreciated. I hate GIMP, the annoying flashing lines around everything, the un-user friendlyness, everything just annoys me, which is a shame, because I really want to get used to using it. I've watched lots of tutorials, but none of them seem to work. Sorry again, I'm ANGWY!
EDIT: Found the scale tool, which is pretty annoying, but it works. Still no idea how to place the floating layer though :sad.gif:
EDIT 2: Got it working :biggrin.gif: Found out you have to paste something, and THEN make a new layer. I was trying to make a new layer, and then paste the image onto it. It's a bit of an inconvenience, but at least I can do it now! I feel like such a noob... :tongue.gif:
Yea, took me ages to figure it out too, don't worry about it :tongue.gif:
The annoying-ness of gimp is the reason I only use paint.net now. For everything.
I know how to do basically everything you can do with it and the fact that there aren't as many filters and things makes me try harder on the actual texture!
Uber fast reply, ENGAGE! :biggrin.gif:
Yea, sometimes links like to play tricks. I think they might be gaining sentience.... Either that or I'm crazy. (which can't be true!)
I keep meaning to post the Katanas I did but I realised that (for some reason) due to me putting them on ALL the tools have suddenly gained rouge pixels. Turns out they've all shifted one to the right so I have to bring them all to the left (to the left, everything you own to the box to the left~).
Loving the new update I downloaded it and will mess around later with it (Or be kicked out of Minecraft by my Craptop).
I also promise to get my video done with your pack. It'll probably be on an adventure map when my new PC arrives and all 3 of us will use a different pack like I said. Should be good fun!
I'm putting your 'special' pack together now :tongue.gif:
Oh, and don't worry about the katana's, I did them about 10 minutes before dinner (which I just finished) so yea...
Awesome update Sheep! It looks great! When do you think you will get the customizer up though?
Hopefully very soon now. I've completely filled up a 256x256 png with alternate textures and since I'm going to have all the variants on one download, it's going to take AGES to upload and stuff... So yea, getting enough free time to do it in one sitting is the only thing holding me back now!
If you can put my custom skin to replace the 'char'. Thanks (:
Defo giving you a mention on our videos soon!
Your skin still isn't 100% finished. :tongue.gif:
I haven't had too much time to work on it recently because I was working on the update for this pack and I also just started updating my Japanese pack again too. Now that this update is out of the way though, it shouldn't take too long to finish off. (maybe even this afternoon?)
Anyways, I'll get to work on it now and if I don't finish in an hour then I'll just upload your pack without the skin and then send it to you in a PM later!
Dude , totally understand. I tried to do the bloody skin myself but the pinstripe suit and the hair kept defeating me. Ended up giving up in a fit of RAGE.
Plus yea, given I just got the 4th member of my video series recruited I say you'll only have to wait a short while till I send a video link up in here with all of us using the texture pack as we conquer our first map (We went with the Forsaken lands due to its easyness and freebuild ability) so keep an eye out (:
Yea, the hair is quite tricky :|
I'm just gonna upload your pack without the skin because it's being tricksy and will take longer to finish.
Anyways, who likes the new title in the OP? I think it looks awesome! :biggrin.gif:
Oh, and could someone give me their opinion on the new half-slabs? I really want to know what you guys think of them!
Still have an unfurnished mansion I see.
Great looking frames.
Thanks Nightmare, and yea, got distracted by the area I went through to via the nether :tongue.gif:
I'm busy experimenting with redstone now too. Gotta say, it's really interesting stuff!(first time!)
I need to make download buttons and things like that to make the OP even prettier. I cleaned it up a lot today and it looks a lot neater. Especially the new header! :smile.gif:
Redstone ahh.
Next year, when I do my Computer Science courses, I'm going to start doing that really technical stuff with redstone.
Thanks!
Do you think that would help with redstone stuff? I might look up some guides online if so then.... Actually, just realised there are probably redstone guides.... Derp.
There is a Redstone subforum here on the forums. :tongue.gif:
And yeah, in Computer science, you learn about logic gates etc, which is used to make all those working computers in Minecraft and stuff. :tongue.gif:

There's a subforum!??!
Oh gawd,I need to leave the TP's subforum once in a while... xD
I've heard about logic gates but have no clue what they are/do. Time for some research! :biggrin.gif:

I only figured out a few days ago!
I only lurk here and the Released mods section.
This is BY FAR!!! the best texture pack I have seen in a long, long time. You really inspired me to make a texture pack but I quit a while ago. I want to applaud you in your tenacity and ability to be able to keep going on to make all of us people who love your pack content. I admire you.

Ohh yes, I have been starting to get more and more into mods. Some of them are just amazing! They'll easily help tide me over till 1.8 comes although I would be just as happy without mods and just stuffing around with redstone but hey, new stuff! :biggrin.gif:

Awwww shucks, I'm actually at a lack of words for how to reply to such praise! :smile.gif:
I'm glad you like the pack though and that I was able to inspire you. Sucks that you quit texture making but hey, you can always try again in the future!
I think I may write up a guide for making texture packs soon. I have so many ways of making texture packs now it's crazy! There are just so many possibilities and styles of texturing!
hey, just thought i would post :tongue.gif:
the new OP looks cool but i have 2 ideas - maybe using the custom font on your packs for that top banner? to promote what you have in the pack a little more, or even making a signature banner with the custom font..
AND i noticed your older versions section is getting a tad long, so maybe you could put a spoiler around them when it gets too long :smile.gif:
oh and the new default windows look really nice :tongue.gif:
Oooooh, forgot about spoiler tags, great idea! That could help shorten it down a bit. :biggrin.gif:
The only bad thing about my font is it looks kinda funny unless it is resized so it is still perfectly to scale. That means I'm pretty limited in the size I can write with but hey, I'll give it a go tomorrow anyway! :smile.gif:
Sheep,
Your update really amazes me! The glowstone is awesome and I'm loving the new diamonds!
However, when you do get around to making the customizer, can you include some of your old textures? I don't mean to offend or sound greedy so please don't get mad. I really liked the old diamond, iron ingot, and gold ingot. I think they were from the Beta 1.5 update (or maybe it was 1.4). So if you have the chance, can you add those to the customizer? Thanks. :smile.gif:

Curse PremiumAnywho, made new windows for the default variant. Needs some colour tweaks first though.
Great looking frames.
