i really like how you made redstone into fossils/bones.

i almost made one of my ores bones, but that would have been coal (because i didn't realize at the time that coal is made of plant matter, and ancient animal matter becomes petrolium)

anyway... will your redstone powered objects have a bone theme too? i cant wait to see your redstone torches and repeaters at any rate.

the problem i have though is that if i were to use your pack id probably end up using the wooden sword exclusively because i like it so much, then get killed by mobs because wooden swords are useless.

I want to bake those swords into a cake and feed it to my enemies. (but first I will lick the spoon). I love them all, though my favorite is the wood. However, the highlights on the tip seem a little... idk blurry. Something kind of irks me about them. I still love it though.

Maybe it's because of the background color? There's not a lot of contrast with the tip shade in that picture, so it may be hard to see. Unless you're talking about a different area...?

I don't know yet. I want to avoid having it look too tribal, though, and an overdose of bones will have it leaning in that direction. We'll see.

I like the design of the iron sword . But i think the diamond sword will be much more pretty if it look heavier like the iron sword.It looks too fragile.This texyure pack is awesome !

The iron sword is big and heavy for bashing. But the diamond sword doesn't need to be chunky, because it's razor sharp. ^^

Steelfeathers, i need your brain.

Come to my house next Tuesday and we'll talk about it. How about we split it 30/70

What's in it for me? I ain't giving my brain away unless I get something good out of it.

WOW! Amazing! I love how the stone one is hastily joined to the wood! My favourite is the wood though!
And most impressive of all that these are hand-drawn!
PUT THEM IN THE PACK ASAP! =D

I think I'm going to do a big update soon and put the main download on PMC, so you'll get the swords then. :3

Steelfeathers, this i your last pack. You're probably taking up too much bandwidth on the MCforum servers

But seriously, i think the iron sword needs some little hilt ornament, maybe a tiny bit of shading on the centre thingy to give it some depth. As vfd said, the woods highlight on the top seems to contrast-y

The iron sword actually used to have a green gem in the center of the hilt, but I took it out because it subtracted from the manliness quotient.

Quote from Plenty_of_Fish

The cloth handle on the stone one seems too bright compared to the rest of the sword, and the wooden part looks too perfect IMO.

I'll try turning down the brightness of the cloth and see how that works. (Yay for a bazillion layers! Makes editing things so much easier.)

Steelfeathers,

Recoloring the "elvisch" Ironsword to be Gold... brilliant!

You should make all of the Tools like that principle,
Wood - Cheap.. and maybe leafy
Stone - Some Cracks here and there
Iron - Practical, efficient, (bulky?)
Gold - Smooth, goodlocking, sligtly fragile
Diamond - Downright Awesome and perfect in every way

I intend to do something about like that-- I do it for all my packs. To me it just seems logical to do each type of sword first and set the 'look' for that material, then base the rest of the tools off the swords.

When does the next update for this pack come out? I want to write a review but I don't want to use out of date screenshots.

Later today, probably. I'm working on updating my All-Inclusive guide to texturing at the moment. Making it more all-inclusive. (About time, right? :P)

Quote from pshco75

Is it close to be done yet?

Um...no. I can't just snap my fingers and make textures appear-- everything I make takes a lot of time and effort. Emphasis on time.

Finished up the rails. A spike strip extends from the unpowered rail to bring all minecarts to a sudden halt. :]

I also made the saplings a bit leafier.

Quote from Plenty_of_Fish

Also, I'm having a bit of a problem with GIMP:

I can't rotate textures! I either have to flip in a direction or redo it, because when I use the rotate tool, even if it is a perfect 90 degrees rotation, it makes it smaller.

So annoying.

Sorry, I can't help. I've never used gimp.

I hate it when I post new stuff and it ends up as the last post on the page. *grumble grumble*

I will wait on the reveiw.

I'm excited about seeing it when you get around to it. I know it'll be great.
