I like it . Is it the jungle planks or the jungle wood? The pack was definetly lacking something rusty.
With you being the only person around that creates completly new textures, can I interest you in working on The End? I have ideas and concept art but don't think my textures would do the pack justice.

Its the jungle wood as tesla coils usually have copper coils running from the base to the top. Perhaps the jungle wood planks could be using that as some sort of Faraday cage mesh box or something.
and with helping with the end: I would like to but I still have some finals I need to finish. Post some of the concept art and ill see what I can do.


I also had a good idea about integrating thaumcraft into the lore when the time comes to it. the player is using radiation from the landscape to power machines and modify the properties of materials.
vis and tant could be different kinds of radiation (alpha and gamma perhaps)
the pipes could be lead pipes. and tanks be radiation storage tanks.
the infuser could be an auto assembler of some kind.
vis pumps could be just a regular pump
thaumic furnaces could be a blast furnace
vis crystals could be different kinds of crystals that have absorbed radiation and because of that they behave according to their atomic structure.
condensers could be a radiation absorber that uses crystals to get good or bad radiation from the atmosphere
the quesetum could just be a research table.
filters could be a smokestack.
the thaumometer could be a Geiger counter
tainted ground could be the remains of a particularly cancerous creature whose tumors refused to die so they continue to spread corrupt and consume everything in their path.
think this place but with more of a basis on radiation

theres another less copying idea that i had that would go along the lines of the tained ground is out of control experimental hive nanites that try to assimilate everything in their path.

all of this is just me throwing ideas around though.

I hate to say it but i have barely scratched the surface for red power so far. Its a very daunting task for anyone to do especally these 6 textures http://imgur.com/gMK...jIy,Kx7zx,vtkoP along with the guis required I have however done 2 of the harder ones so far.

after the ones ive complained about are done it should be fairly straightforward as most of the textures are guis.
it also might be more adventageous to post your concept art in this thread so you could let other people take a crack at it as well.

This is by far the best pack ive ever used, I have almost no complaints at all. I cant wait for the name changes for the items and characters. Im starting to modify the texture packs as well, I already changed the double box for the large chest into a single box using basic copy paste Keep it up, my sons and I love this pack.

do you guys use a different program than http://www.paint.net/ ? I can use this ok but. I cant really do small changes such as the single tiny line that is around the tops of the grass in your pack. its less then a pixel in size I saw it and wanted it gone. I know the black square is supposed to be there but not the tiny brown line from the side and top of the dirt pixels and what not.

I just love the practice of editing a pack, i honestly never plan on doing any pack designs its just too much for me with just a basic paint brush program

Ok, so I pm'd Hello, and he told me I could give reasons for alternate textures.

{Start transcript}

Hello, Orbital Industries here.
Ever since "The Event," The "Wasteland," as you call it, has changed dramatically.

"Huggatrons"
Since about 14 A.E. (after the event), we released our new and improved types of huggatrons into the wastes. These new types of huggatrons are denoted by their color change.

"The ever-changing Fire-arm"
Over the past many years, you wastelanders have created new and improved versions of the Orbital Industries "Fire-Arm" Ranging from a Simple version to a Shotgun-type weapon.

"Giving color to the waste"
After many A.E. years, Wastelanders decided they wanted to Add color to their bleak landscape. Instead of machines, they took the scrap from the collectors and fastened it together with rope.

Done. Here's the account in all its glory. I'll pm the password to hello2u and Derek. If anyone tells me the appropriate location for a lore thread in the forums, I'll set that up too. Is Texture Discussion the appropriate place?

Edit: Can't write a post without editing it...

LOL! I didn't see this, and already made a dummy lastdsayslore account, failure

if your gonna have videos on the front cover can one be a tutorial on how to install the sound mod

I made a jungle leaves texture. I'm not entirely happy with it, since I can't get it's color to match the oxidation effect on Froman's jungle wood and it doesn't look like antennas at all. It's a neat looking construction material though.
Also it makes the jungles rather bright, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Texture (fancy&fast):

It looks good. The oxidation wouldn't match since the wood texture is copper and the leaves are steel/iron.

EDIT: They don't necessarily have to be antennas, they could be like power line towers.

I had an interesting idea of switching the leaves and trunk.
So the leaves are the telsa coils and the trunk is like a structural framework
You cant use the transparent one though. It enables you to see through the ground.

Could we try to define the shades in it more? Higher contrast I mean.

No comprende.
Do whatever you want if you think it helps.
Here is the fancy brown texture. It's just spliced together from the first texture for demonstration purposes


Also I just updated the lore thread with hello's mob descriptions http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1226892-last-days-lore/

@hello2u08 I'll send you a pm later.

Blergh multiple accounts is stupid.

Check it out, we got a 9.8 out of 10:


And of course everyone screamed: lol fallout !!!1!1oneone

The OP texture pack really needs to be updated with the animations and latest textures. Everyone seems to love the animations.

Edit: Bradleys animations from his last post and spiffycats villagers for example.

and now you can animate EVERYTHING with mcpatcher, we need to add some animations for the monitor painting. I wil lgo through and find all the animations, and put them into a single psot if you want

Ok, weeded out all the animations, here they are:
there, i can adjust animation speeds if you wish, and yes, that is possible to adjust the speed of animations without editing the pictures.

Alright so for some reason i cant download this pack and install it on my MAC... I have tried everything possible that i could think of to fix this problem, but nothing seems to help at all... I'm not sure what to do anymore but i have this pack on my Windows and it works fine, so i don't know if something is wrong with my MAC or what. Thanks for your help.

I noticed that when I used the customizer the blocks that had animations on them, didn't animate is there something I did wrong?

Wow! Thanks Comply_cat_Ed! I havnt tried using the solution that was gIven in the topic yet, but I am confident it will work. Thanks!!!!

The customizer doesn't support animations.
