moar previews... changed up the dark style a bit...made it more alien worldish..still gonna do the other one too once I finish this one. added new sandstone/brick/slab/cobble/etc. options.. going to have them in both styles (two and three segment) and multiple colors. (got all rpg'd...lol) did sand,torches,redstone.




I'll put the general story idea up for the theme once it's done... maybe have an adventure map contest. (I'll put up a poll once I'm closer to finished)

finished off the alt wools last night, finishing the planks next (plastic this time for the alien theme). also gonna get some testing and creation done on the 1.8 stuff since it got leaked and I can see the stuff in game. any thoughts on the new stuff?

doing height maps by hand is a pain in the ass. that is all.

reeds and cactus...not sure about either one...

The reeds and cacti both look nice

added a flower to the cactus... it needed it...lol got everything but the watermelon and chest done...so hopefully I'll have the update ready tomorrow. I also tweaked the clouds and rain.. and a couple other random things.. still having a little issue with the broken cloud edges but that's an ongoing battle. I'll get some screens up later.

until then, here are some random shots from 1.8p Glacier seed.. it's more amazing than before. (christopher walken is an awesome seed too)

here's the draft of the pumpkin I'm gonna work on... gotta fix a lot about it... but this is the basic texture I came up with. (watermelon is a recolor of it for now)

updated to 1.8. second theme test up. redid the op, so read it again :tongue.gif:

I am still stuck on the chest... Misa's is in there now for a placeholder and will come out asap. that chest is my #1 priority right now.

ton of new screenshots..and more coming. discovered a site with a bunch of amazing server worlds for download.

Screens Here

I'll give the new textures a look when I get the chance to.

you are killin me people.... 4.5k downloads since I posted it...mind you that may be combined between the two packs...but still.. only one comment.... at least rep the op /cry

hmm when i use the pack all my blocks are white

try allocating more memory to java

Quote from dami

can u upload the 128 x textures plz ?



EDIT

i think the less comment is because u putted 256 x textures online to download
only a pfew have that much ram
plz upload the 128 x
and 64 x for the nuubs :$ JK

I doubt that is the reason...lol over 5k downloads in the last 3 days.... lack of comments is just laziness.
the main reason I don't have lower resolutions is that even your bottom of the barrel pc's now come standard with enough ram to run this by allocating 2gig to java(my friend runs it fine on a 32bit vista system). I think lower resolutions will take away a lot of the quality of the work I have done on minor details, and that in itself is enough for me to not want to find the extra time to go through and do a proper resize. But given enough demand for it (which would take people commenting...lol) I will do so. (unless I can find someone willing to do it before that happens) I know it sounds like I'm being lazy, but with glsl support(even though it's temporarily gone), it takes resizing 3 different versions of the terrain one texture at a time. (that takes a lot of work touching up stray pixels and such)

edit: put up a poll about lower rez.

Sadly with 1.8 in the state it's in I don't think even with optimization I'll be able to use above 32 or 64x for a long time...

Dropped from good detail settings with 25-40 fps in 64x or lower to 1-15 fps on minimum settings with default everything.

aw man Cowed...that sucks dude. 1.8 has improved my framerates...but chunk loading is taking longer... it's like server lag in singleplayer

At this point I'm almost considering decompiling everything and figuring out how to turn flowing animations off and change the autosave ticks to the 30 minutes per save option that optifine gives us...

faust should get a kick outta that request...lol

I basically figured out the lag is caused by shitty CPU optimization...so even though my graphics card isn't working particularly hard the framerate still lags...so graphics settings aren't actually going to affect anything for me oddly enough.
I really do think it's funny that my framerate will be the same on both short minimum settings and far maximum settings with vanilla MC atm.

this is my problem at the moment... mc got bogged down.. trying to re-optimize it somehow.

@dami I'll see if I still have the 128x test and add the new textures to it. look for a link in a couple days... had a busy weekend.

just got the updated water shader mod.... my water looks gorgeous with it. have to adjust it a bit for night time... but wow...I am officially supporting it once glsl gets updated, IF they are compatible.
