Nope, I just want to know what it is I'm downloading. It's like if you buy a car and they won't tell you what colours there are to choose from, and the only way to know is to buy every colour of the car.

Well I wouldn't download the pack now, but if you look in the OP, the pics (after the 'latest update' pics) are in categories for each variant. The next update will likely be set out the same way, albeit with bigger titles.

@Class: Yea, I'm just gonna make one release for 1.9 (full) instead of having to do one now for pre 3 and then have to do another in a few days when 1.9 full comes out. (it sounds lazy but it's actually really annoying to upload updates for this pack because I have to do separate downloads for each variant and then mirrors for them too) :tongue.gif:

PS: Sorry I didn't upload pics! I had to get off the desktop basically as soon as I got on and I didn't get time!
I'll upload them tonight after I get back from school. (and I'll see if I can find a creeper to take a pic of too)

@DZD: Yea, looks like a pretty big and complex mob, hopefully the template isn't too confusing to look at! (the spider was ridiculous and the dragon looks even more complex >.>)

The world IS tough without an updated sheep pack.......should I downgrade my minecraft??? It is hard to live without the current version when it has FRIGGIN' BREWING POTIONS!

Well I for one, am still on 1.8.1! (custom maps for 1.8.1 that I have to finish, not gonna upgrade till they're done!)

The spider seems pretty easy compared to the dragon! :ohmy.gif:

Notch posted a pic of the unwrap:

Dear lawdy!
That looks insane!
My friend showed me another picture today, and it would appear he has actually changed the dragon again, this time adding proper webbed, bat-like wings. Looks awesome but it's also very complex...


@Class, ok, I'm home, time to look for some creepers to get a snap of! :biggrin.gif:

So damn long to wait for an update. :c

I know that and I'm very sorry! D:
I did sorta lose inspiration a couple of times through the update and when I thought it was ready, I always found a few things that I could tweak or change until, oh, looks like another week passed...

I really am sorry about this though, but the changes I've made I really do think are for the better because at the moment, in-game with the pack is really awesome. It's very, very nearly done now too. I want to redo the actual tools now because they look slack, I need to finish the sign, clean up the cow and sheep a little, finish the biomes for the variants OTHER than fantasy and also tweak the chests a little. After that I'm pretty sure I'm done!

I am actually making good progress at the moment though which I'm trying to upload some pics of, but imgur is denying one free ride... I also can't find a damn creeper!

You know what, I'm going to use dropbox to post the png of the creeper here so one of you can take a screenie because I can't find any... Not sure why! D:

EDIT: Derp, peaceful, I just found one and took a picture, I'll try dropbox this time because it should actually work!

Ok, here's a dark screenie of a creeper and also a random pic.

I had to try re-uploading on dropbox which worked, but I don't want to put up many pics on it because it can break your bandwidth limit for dropbox which disables your account for a few days. I'll try imgur again tomorrow, for now, I'm going to do some homework and do some texturing from my netbook in bed. :smile.gif:





PS: In the second pic, I've since changed the wool (it's in the green tents) and also made the flowers stalks match the biome colours. Tomorrow I'll try and snap a few pics of the new explosion effect too!

EDIT: and the new gui elements like health and exp!

It's looking great Sheep! I remember trying your pack a long time ago, as with Wayuki's pack, I don't know why I never downloaded the versions after.. As with Wayuki's I'll defintely be downloading your 1.9 packs. :smile.gif:

Thanks! Hopefully it will be worth your time! :smile.gif:

Quote from xNightmare

I nearly died looking at those pictures.

You've come a very long way Sheep, and I am still able to say this is my favourite Texturepack of all time.

I'll PM you in a sec, I have a very fanboy related question to ask.

Damn ninja's... :tongue.gif:
Also, sure, I'm just having dinner now, but I'll respond when I finish!

PS: Thanks a bunch, you're probably one of my oldest supporters! <3

Quote from reaper45693

Looking very nice Sheep!
Happy to hear some changes to the other varients lol (RPG fan here)

Also what are the little black bits below the creepers mouth? It looks great though :smile.gif:

Thanks, I'll try and get some RPG pics up tomorrow too, I made things a bit more like Ovo's pack, just in 16x res. :smile.gif:

Anywho, the black things are meant to be holes, I'm just not sure what for... I'll either get rid of them or put more on the back, not sure yet!

Quote from reaper45693

Ah yeah that's right he has on his thread your RPG pack is like the 16x version of his :smile.gif:
Which is great coz my pc hates anything above 16 lol

Look forward to see what you have done with it.

Ah yes I can see it now, hmm it looks a little weird on him, but than again it's a weird creature :smile.gif:

Thanks, and yea, it is a little weird but as you say, it is a weird creature! (some mutated insect thing in this case)

I will say it does look better in motion and turning up the brightness did get rid of a bit of the detail on its segments.

Quote from Scaipy

So, I saw you were waiting for the 1.9 full release and I raise you this Tweet by Jeb:
https://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/status/123306381427220480

The previous (and now obsolete) tweet that Jeb was reffering to was him estimating a release date for 1.9.

Well, I guess I'll just catch up to the prereleases, and then release when I'm done! :tongue.gif:
Kinda strange system they're going by though, I thought they'd want the game to be really polished for final release...

Vivid is undergoing some MASSIVE changes right now, it's basically a completely different pack!

RPG is after that, then a bit more on default and I'm pretty sure I'll be good for release!

Oh yea, I'll work on vivid a teensy bit more then show you some pics.

Quote from Santairo »

Apparently, as it stands at the moment is; release pre-releases every week until October 18th (meaning probably two more then), then do optimising and bug fixing for a month, then release Beta 1.10 or Minecraft 1.0 live at MineCon.

(I might have some of those details slightly wrong, I'm just gathering all of what Notch has said together, I might have misinterprated one bit, which could cause the whole tihng to be false... :dry.gif:)

Hmmm that's actually what I was thinking was happening although this tweet (This tweet) makes me think otherwise... It's kinda hard to understand what he's trying to get across though!
