Have you ever thought to join up with the Optifine team? Sense their mod does a lot of things mcpatcher has, with the CTM and stuff, along with more options to cut back on lag. Maybe join the two together so we all have one thing, and not a pick between the two and thus, picking if we want less lag + less ctm supported options or normal lag, and all options.

I second this. Although, there IS a way to get Optifine speed with MCPatcher CTM, etc. Head to this page:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1646752-mcpatcher-and-optifine-working-together-from-a-texture-artists-perspective-discussion-thread/
In particular, Meringue's post down the page. It's a good setup, I use it and it works quite nicely

When i patch my minecraft with MCPatcher my mods don't work HELP!!!!!

I SUPPORT THIS COMMENT

I didn't know before that i need MC Patcher for mods and HD Texture Packs that was way back in the 1.1 versions i think?

I have a question that nobody wants to answer: How do I specify a texture to do a ctm to if there is no more terrain.png in minecraft after 1.4? Using the block id won't work because of blocks with multiple sides, like crafting tables and sandstone.

1.5 preview is updated to beta3. More info here.

First of all, thanks to whoever moved the thread back to the Texture Packs forum.

I spent the last couple days overhauling the CTM format and tackling the 4k texture limit. This required reworking a lot of MCPatcher's internals, so this release may have new bugs.

I also brought back the custom compass feature (not as hard as I thought it would be) and fixed the rendering bugs others reported.

You use the faces property to restrict the CTM effects to specific sides (i.e. top, bottom, sides, etc.)

Ever since I started using the beta patchers for mcpatcher 3.0, I have been getting sudden stops in the conversion processes. Whenever I try to convert a texture pack, I have tried it on multiple, this message, or at least something similar, appears in the log.

Sorry about not putting that in spoiler text, I forgot how...

Did I hear somehting about CTM being split? How does that even work? Wasn't the whole point of ctm to have the textures all in one file?

Seems like a fine enderchest to me, oh wait the bottom part is invisible.

Anyways, has anyone gotten ctm to work with the newest snapshot? It just flat out doesn't work in the new ctm format. Dunno about the old, I'll check after classes.

Does ANYBODY have documentation on the new CTM format?

The default glass, sandstone, & chest textures are split up. Each part of the image is split into individual image sheets like the default terrain & item textures

Found a minor problem with my enderchest skin :

(tested with MCpatcher 3.0.0-beta3 and Snapshot 13w04a)

Same here with the Enderchest problem

Quote from Kexikus

Just a short question about the new Better Grass:
Does it still use the top grass texture or are there new textures needed?

No new textures, just grass_top.

Not sure how that could happen, but I added a null check to stop it from bailing out there.

Fixed!

Quote from Taiine

I got mine to work, but only some of the ctm is working, it made the files alright, and everything is split proper, but some don't show up in game. Like my vertical dirt.

Your vertical dirt is working here. Is this what I should be seeing?

Quote from Taiine

Some of the ctm is still using blockXX. files.

Intentional, at least for now. I considered changing them to use block names, but since the "official" block names are only in the Java code, they'd be hard to find, and some of them conflict with the new tile names anyway.

You can actually name the .properties file anything you want as long as you set either the matchBlocks or matchTiles property.

Quote from PopcornInsomniac

Properties file /ctm/xxx.properties. Textures /ctm/xxx/0.png, /ctm/xxx/1.png, etc. Just look at a converted pack for the rest. Still subject to change before 1.5 releases.

Great job

This has been giving me uneeded lag ._.
