Bad tut is bad, it tells you to put the texture pack in the minecraft.jar, instead of making a .zip in the texturepacks folder.
As for a template, you don't need a template, you need to look at that tutorial on how to get to your minecraft.jar and how to open it, then open it, and get the terrain.png or any other file you need from there.
Just use this. Next time google for it.
its how i made my texture pack
There you go. :smile.gif:
