Hello all, just letting you know that my first release date may be pushed back a bit. I have to get money for rent; so I am going to attempt to work around 70 hours this week. That means I won't have a lot of time to work on this. Despite what it may look like to some people this is time consuming. Especially since I have reached the things that require a lot of detail.

No worries mate, we all know what it's like. Try not to over do it too much :biggrin.gif:
The texture pack looks really cool, though, using Comic Sans MS for everything doesn't, it's really unprofessional!
Comic Sans MS was made for cartoons and such.
Still, nice TP
People get paid for creating comics, therefore it is a profession, therefore it is a professional font. That being said it is not my preferred font. As I have mentioned above I designed my own for the tp but it is not supported by the forum. I suppose I could type all my posts in my word processor and take screenshots but that seems unnecessarily complex.
Wow.. This thread is all about a texture pack, yet all anyone seems to notice is that he's using comic sans? Back on topic people!
A partial release would be cool, would help you get some proper feedback too so you don't get right to the end then realise something is just wrong :tongue.gif: also people could see ur font and stfu :biggrin.gif:
Question:
What textures have you managed so far?
Most of the basic ones. (dirt, stone, cobblestone etc. I went through and listed what I don't have an it comes to about 40 items. I am going to get the redstone and furnace done before I release anything. possibly the tracks and plowed soil as well. I will have to list what is my work and what is Dr. Ks in my release notes if I do a partial release. As for the font, that will probibly not be part of the release as I am still having alignment issues. Mainly the text hangs WAY over the signs and looks horrible. I might throw in the hd font from Misa's pack as a place holder

Sounds good, but can you include your font as an alternative file in there? I'd like to look at it and see why it's so off.
Like just have two files in the font folder, one called "default.png" then your broken one as "custom.png" or something

Yeah I can do that. Just a side note, The Font I am currently using is called Rock Salt and it wasn't created by me. I am working on a font as well but it is no were near complete. have to work on sarif and kernaling, I think thats what they are called.

Ok mate I had a quick fiddle with your font, and here's what I worked out:
Your original Font file gives this:
Halving the image size yeilds this:
I then paid closer attention to the actual resolution of the Font Image overall and noticed it wasn't a power of 2.
As the font grid is 16 characters by 16 characters, the default font grid is 16 pix, so 16pix x 16char = 256pix square.
A 32pix pack is 512 square, 64x pack is 1024, 128x is 2048 and so on.
Your current font file is 5096, should this maybe be 4096? I think you had a typo when creating your base file.
Unfortunately, resizing the font image to the correct scale totally messes the spacing up:
I think if you start again using either 4096 (for 256x pack) or 2048 for a 128x, you'll have much better luck!
Now you just have to change it so the top and bottom rows of text don't overflow the wooden border on the sign :biggrin.gif:

Hope this helps
HA! you're right, this is a total face-palm moment. *sigh* I should be able to fix that fairly quick. In the psd file I have every character on a separate layer so moving them around is no big deal.
To everyone else, I have made some change to the pack in the week (nearly) that the forums were down.
1) I changed the plank texture to be less crate like
2) changed the tops of the logs to blend better with the sides.
I am also currently working on changing the spawner as I am kinda disgusted by the way it turned out.
You said you made the planks less crate like.. I downloaded last night and they seem exactly the same.. Or is this still to be released?
about the font, Im happy to help. I'm more than familiar with how the texturing for mc works, just don't have the skills to make my own original content :biggrin.gif:
One thing Im not 100% sure about is your glass, the design is cool, but the frame seems too narrow compared to the cast iron lace. Also you need to add the lighting highlights to the frame to match the core

Yeah, the wood will be part of the next release. When I have time I will post some screenshots.
Thanks for the feedback on the glass, I will look into that.

Cool, thought that was the case.
Also, could you fix the link in your sig? it points to a post of yours halfway down page 2 of this thread. It should really point to the OP yea?
I use it to quickly jump from the bordercraft thread to here :biggrin.gif: and use my sig to go the other way.. lol I'm lazy I know.. but its just easier that way on my phone

Why do you care what font he writes in, it looks great, is easy to read, and goes along with his pack. The smallest things annoy you... let them go.

Any font is better than the defaults
Did you intend to have the PSD files for the fonts in the pack? lol.. makes it bigger than it needs to be (they do compress pretty well though)

If you happen to like my work but don't necessarily like the style of this pack here is a link to a pack I am working on for UTD called ModernReality (their choice).
