The new Armors looks really great. Especially the Chain Armor Helmet with the trap joe jaw... and the new font is much better.

I like the concepts for the villagers and the idea with the cthulhu worshipers for the priest. Maybe you could use the fish-villager-concept for the witch. Then there is a contrast to the rest of the villagers and she lives in Swampland, so I think it could fit.

Ooo, good thinking!
I'm still not 100% sure what I'd like to do with the Fishy folks, but right now this is probably the best bet.
To start with, I'll probably do a more defaultish Witch; But being the lamest mob ever, i feel i have to do something special with them sooner or later.
I know at some point I ant to do a"bog hag" skin for them; All gnarled and naked with seaweed covering her witchy-bits.

Actually leave the emerald stuff the way it is.
Don't make them look like Cthulu worshippers.

Basically they are in secret and it's the reason they're making the excuse that the coins are a bit like money when in reality they're trying to acquire as many as possible for something....yes....something.
They'll even trade all their belongings if it means getting their hands on them.

Y'know what, I've got a habit in Glimmar's thread of making up reasons for designs he could use for things like mobs and it's kinda bleeding over into here.

I like the chain and iron armours.
The villagers are neat. One step closer to completing the texture pack.

Ha! I actually really like that!

Unfortunately, I'm just not that happy with the Emerald stuff (the main Redstone blocks as well).
I know I want to do something akin to the classic Legend of Zelda "Rupee" for the emerald item; probably with something similar for the Ore. (the Cthulhu Emerald block is fine. Just needs to look more like actual emerald)

Right now I'm also thinking of doing the same thing with Redstone. Instead of being magical red skull tech, it would be red crystals (basically recolored emerald Rupees) with animated electricity running through them.

Either way, that stuff's for a later update. Still have too many random textures to finish before i move to fixing those up.

ok guys 32x and 64x ports are up... will do some alts to upload tomorrow (probably only 256x/128x)

lovin the new armours doom and the font is better, i like the clock too (i can bumpmap it and the compass should have update to shaders tomorrow, i have much better shader files now.

Yay!
Awesome works, as always! Thanks, Zomb!
(OH! AND FYI, I recently got a few requests for forum avatars like Mine/DesolationAngel's. if you want one too, just pick a armor/HD skin, a pose, and let me know, man!)

Quote from Matt-J-222

Ive just started making texture support for RedPower so stand by for some previews!

Sweet!
I've never checked out the mod, myself; but it's one of the ones that people always request support for. So i'm sure a lot of people will be very thankful!
As always, if you need any specific PSDs to work with, just let know!

Quote from Ph1il93

The new stuff looks awesome as always, especially the leather, you made it look as bloody and rough as it should look like!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Now on to the balkon's addon i was working on, it took me so long to put together because i was not motivated and on the other hand i dont enjoy working on items as much as i like to do blocks and gui's. But, here it is, it includes daggers, hellebards, flails, warhammer, battleaxes and spears and is compatible with the latest version [1.10].

I used textures from the battlegear mod so credits go to zomb69 and of course Emperor Doom.

Download: http://www.mediafire.../?c8z341fd53qw3

Some additional good news, i started working on Thaumcraft blocks.

Also if someone is interested, here are some screenshots of my singleplayer world, sry for bad quality and fog , the whole base only uses one water source (thanks to Better than wolves!)

Aaaaand those would be the other two highly requested ones lol.
Seriously, awesome job!

As far as me linking it in theOP goes, is there a general Mediafire folder I can link to, so it doesn't need constant updating? If not, should I link it to your specific post above so you can keep that one updated? (Like I do with Zomb's shaders)

HOLY CRA----

SKYRIM ARMOR WOOT

oh ya i get my imac next week, will finally get to try out the past 5 updates to this pack

ps. ANIMALS

Nice! After you're all set, feel free to pop back in ad let me know what you think of the updates! I think the last few have really added new life to the textures.

Also, Animals are relatively close now! Villagers are turning out to be quite a bit of work, and thre are still some othr textures i want to redo before moving on to the critters; but I am working on trying to doodle out some good details for them all!


----------------


So, has anyone else tried out the MCPatcher preview for the 1.5 stuff?
I tried a couple days ago, and even without any animations or CTM, I could only get about 20FPS max!
(Tried it with vDC, Soartex, and Misa's 128x. All ­ty results.)

I'm not sure if it's just that MCPatcher was still tweaking things, or if the new texture format is really THAT goddamned awful for performance, but it's quite worrying.

Quote from BaZoOka_PoOka

thats great i cant wait for animalsss! i know i will be really amazed when i use the pack next week.. i havent played minecraft for like 3 months, and mojang has been adding so many new things to the game too

its amazing how much effort you put into making this pack. i always check this pack once every while and its always getting more updates that always has something totally shockingly bad as

keep up the awesome work , you better not ever stop!!!!

Wasn't planning on it.
Seriously though, thanks for the kind words! I do try to have cool releases semi-regularly, it's just a giant pain in the ass lol; so i really do hope folks aren't ed off at how seemingly long it takes for each one. Honestly, a lot of the time I'll work for days on something, only to have to put it on the backburner because it's just not working. (For example, I've animated about two dozen different versions of fire, and they always looks awful. I'm getting closer though!)|

Anywho, at the rate mojang keeps adding useless crap, I don't think I'd be able to say "FINISHED IT! Time to move on!" any time soon.


In other news, I went through my old files and added any HD skins/mobs I hadn't released to my public HD Skin Dropbox folder. It was something like 17 textures total, so if anyone's interested GIVE IT A LOOK.

I'll do an actual release with images and stuff in the HD Skin thread once the mod website's Database is back up and running (looks like it should be fixed next week!)




OH! And while it occurs to me, if the villagers and HD Link skin (made from them) turn out looking nice, how would everyone feel about a Leather Armor set like them?
So you could have colorable Link tunics and such? (probably with lots of stitching and patches, to make it fit the vDC style)

Ah wow, I've missed quite a bit it seems.
I like the new iron helm for the most part. Not sure about that ram horns, but that's just personal taste. Skeletor and the golden Skeletor armor look awesome, especially the shoulder pads and leather strip skirt (That I used to know the name of, but can't remember for the life of me. Pturges? Idk.) As for the Chain helmet, I have no idea why, but that huge jaw makes me laugh.

Kinda sad about the villager switch, but I can understand why you'd want to change the style. That butcher face in the original sketches seems rather creepy to me, but I love that Librarian sketch, It looks eerily similar to my British Literature teacher from High school.

Also, Link leather armor? Hell yeah! I'm a sucker for anything Zelda related.

Popping in real quick to post this!

Early WIP villager.

That's a sexy villager you have there.

Still a lot to do, but here's the gist of 'em!
(They won't all be Luigi, I swear.)

So as it turns out Daniel Day Lewis and Wilford Brimley live in Minecraftia...


As well as some Stalin-esque undead.

Quote from Matt-J-222

Wow that villager looks great! Cant wait to see what other you'll come up with.

As for PSDs, could you please put in the following:

> Powder bag (E.g. gunpowder, redstone etc)
> Seed Packet
> Leaves block
> Carrot/Potato Crop
> If you have a larger bonesaw than the one on the crafting table can you also put that in (I want to see how it looks as the handsaw)

Also if you have some spare time could you make a version of my project table that looks like the crafting grid in the crafting GUI?

Added the PSDs.

What exactly are you asking or with the Project Table?
A version of the Crafting GUI with the PT in the background?

those villagers look pretty cool!.. i been working hard on glsl mod textures, new shader and better bumpmap on everything 'literally'
will definitely have update tomorrow, this one is worth waiting for.

Oh man, those zombie villagers are brilliant. Loving the black smiths and first librarian. The way you did the hands looks really neat too.

Quote from Matt-J-222

Thanks for the PSDs! Makes texturing so much easier.




This is what i was meaning, just a project table version. Don't worry if you don't have time, I can make do without it.

-EDIT-
Also what font do the powder bags use?

Shouldn't be a problem. it's actually just a matter of resizing and applying a couple effects to get them that way.
Do you want just that specific part made, or the entire GUI?

Also, the font is ComicCraft's "PassThePort".
It's part of an expensive professional comic book maker's Font pack, so your est bet may be Piratebay or such, if it's not on the big font websites.

Awesomeness!
I may have to wait a little bit to actually try them out. I've had no luck whatsoever with mod updates/installation since the 1.5 snapshots.

Thanks! The hands took forever to figure out! I probably should have scanned it before I threw it out, but I actually had an entire 8x11" page of paper covered in possible hands!

Also, I expect to see the hand format in Sphax a couple hours after I release them.

Quote from 0101100

Ha! bearded zombie villagers for President... absolute awesome!
The villagers are so cool, I can´t wait for download it.
I think the blacksmith need some grime in their face.

Quote from Deepblue686

Zombies with epic facial hair.
I don't think anything can top that.
I agree.
Maybe add some leather gloves too.
Something that says "I work with metal and intense heat"

Agreed on both counts, as far as the blacksmith goes!

Grime will be easy; I actually just forgot to add it! I had been up for like 27 hours doing textures when I posted the "finals"

Gloves are a lot harder though.
Originally, I wanted the blacksmiths to be shirtless and sweaty, with metal gloves. Unfortunately, because of the way the model repeats the arms without mirroring them, it's next to impossible to get right.

I'll try that one again, but if it doesn't happen with this release, there's always room to fix them up later and add new villagers.

Quote from Creepychic

I finally signed up to the forums because I just had to tell you how much I love your work. Yours is my favorite texture pack and I am so glad you decided to share your art with the community. Thank you!

Why, thank you so much! I really do appreciate it! (cool name, by the way)
I'm just happy that people actually like/use my horrid doodles!

Seriously though, feel free to stop in any time with comments/crits/any ideas you might have!


--------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, so quick question!

Should I do a non-1.5 release with the villagers when they're set, or start working on a full 1.5 version of the pack? (it'll take a while!)

This ok?



-------------
Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing for the release.
I think I'll do some edits tonight and have a release out tomorrow with the villagers/villager zombies.

for some reason when i try to open up minecraft with this texture pack it doesnt work D: PLZ HELP ME!!!!!!

i have uploaded 3.4 shader support. new features - everything bumpmapped even the map. more parallax textures. ctm and random terrain support. shiny armour. photobucket is being crappy -will have more pics tomorrow

DOWNLOAD HERE

Wow Doom, I love the new font, I can actually read it! xD Also, the for 1.5 thing I can wait for a full release. Keep up the great work guys, this texture pack is coming out amazingly.
