l im sorry if this is derpy, but i think i've looked at this site 4 times, and i just cant find the download button. Please dont be mean and just direct me to it.

Sheep answered below, i would never be mean Just getting a few more parts completed.

Quote from XSSheep

You're not crazy - there currently isn't a download link as Syclone wants it to be in a more complete form before it is released. Apparently that time shouldn't be too far away at all though!

Thanks Mr, yes i would rather have as much key textures done as possible.

Quote from SharkyGAMER

1: How much does the website cost/who is it hosted with?
2: I think you should now just concentrate on updating all files so they are compatible with 1.5 and then realize a beta which is compatible with 1.5 but has default 1.5 textures.

1.5 was released this afternoon and is now live....

Well, I wont disclose the costs but a friend/business colleague is hosting and we are building the website together also which includes a custom made installer/download client among other things

I'm going to get 1.4 out and then work on 1.5 All the server guys and shader guys are happy with this and pretty much anyone waiting would rather It's just released then i focus on whats next.

Quote from minihilly

Will you release for 1.5, or 1.4?







Also, INB4 Syclone replies!

See above Mr Miniroooneeee

This texture pack looks great, take as much time as you need Syclone! The final product will be amazing and we all know it!

Thank you I do have some pressure to release it but that's partly my fault as i underestimated how much i needed done for the main parts to be mostly completed. I also don't want quality to suffer if i do rush it.

Have you done gravel? I think you should do gravel....

I have a gravel but its an old texture and works pretty ok but is one i would like to update.

Sharky, you have been showing support for the pack for a while now would you like a test version and if so which one? I would like to some builds seeing as you are a builder

Quote from thewingedshadow

Sorry that I've been silent for the past days or even weeks, but I always follow the thread with anticipation.

And I would very much like to join the server you're planning to do.

Where have you been young lady Good to see you back, i hope you like the latest additions all the chest, boat, minecart parts were all quite time consuming its great to say that they are all ticked off the list.

Syclone. I love you man/girl. This texture pack will be the most amazing and beautiful pack ever!

Well thank you very much Boom, I'm very pleased you like my work. Oh definitely a man......one that is getting on a bit these days and all these late nights on the pack aren't helping but i'm enjoying working on it

Hey! Did you notice ALL of the posts I've made in this thread recently? That's how many criticisms I have...

I just thought I'd pop in to mention that I have been checking up on this thread daily, but I just... Don't have any useful input. I've told you it's good a lot, and words won't do it justice now any more than they did before. If I do have any critique, I'll let you know. I am just amazed by it, and still haven't found anything wrong.

I did notice you haven't been posting as much *sniff* I miss you G you have been supporting CH from day one No no its fine i know you are a busy guy with so many packs and life on the go. Of course I don't mind if you just pop in even if it's just to say you like something this place aint all about the crit but what I have had has really helped pull things together and am most thankful.

Again to all getting behind the pack just wow and thanks.

I was posted a link to a french website talking about CH, google translate kind of did OK but not great could any French speakers translate it properly? http://www.eternityg...hills-_223.html

Ok some artwork updates, nothing huge but its all progress

First up we have the wooden shovel, stone and Iron will be up later.



Also for the non shader versions only (SEUS has a bug with this) I've been trying out CTM grass to give some variation....... I plan on adding new types of plant life later but I really want to see if i can get an answer to the SEUS bug so all versions can have lots of variation. There is a problem with CTM and waving shader grass, the grass goes wild and waves all over the place like it is off axis.

Question? How do i stop random CTM from lowering the grass into the ground some of it goes so low it looks odd?

Quote from SharkyGAMER

Come on, surely you are done! What more is left to do? I still think you should quickly convert files so they will at least work with the 1.5 layout before you post a release.

Still tools i want to get finished and a few other things, Sharky did you not see the post i made above offering you a preview version to try out?? As you are a builder it would be nice to some screens using CH

Sharky, i'll get it sorted for you (some builds to try would be nice) I'm actually enjoying the non shader version quite a bit.


RIGHT a quick rant. I TOTALLY understand that people are eagerly waiting for the pack and as i keep saying i'm blown away by the response and people getting behind it.

What i don't expect and have no time for is people getting rude via PM's wondering why i haven't replied to their PM or I'm ignoring them. THIS isn't the way to get on my good side. I have tons of PM's coming in and messages from various places not just here and its impossible to get back to everyone. I'm an older bugger of nearly 40 odd with family and work commitments as well as the pack.

I'm working many many hours and long nights on CH and i'm doing the best I can with dealing with the pack and anything to do with it.

Please guys cut me some slack, the pack was always just a personal project and now its much more and the pressure is on to deliver and I'm doing what i can when i can. Some times, just sometimes being human gets in the way and i'm not on the ball or forget something.

The KEY thing that is crucial to building CH and all that's to come is my enjoyment and things like that I'm afraid i don't enjoy when putting so much effort in.

Thanks

Syc

Oh and a stone shovel.

I've been quietly lurking in in the shadows, waiting for this texturepack, and I must say, it look glorious my friend. I honestly cant wait. I do have a question though. Will you be making some Alternate textures? To add an element of customization to the pack? If not, that's cool.

Again, I'm really looking forward to the release of this pack, keep up the great work.

have you done your armour sets yet?
if you haven''t yet i'd rather you kept open faced helmets otherwise forget about it
and not something like the sphax iron armour but something more RPG like and knightly
Luv ur pack
and check every day

I absolutely love this Texture pack and cannot wait to try it out.
Great work on the art!

Have been following it for weeks, and I am getting anxious to try it out. Keep up the good work, and keep posting these updates! Just amazes me!

Thanks!

Love the updates, Syclone =)

On your short rant, I agree. Some of us have lives outside of teh internetz, and so we'll just have to be patient.

I was posted a link to a french website talking about CH, google translate kind of did OK but not great could any French speakers translate it properly? http://www.eternityg...hills-_223.html

I can't tell if you want to this translated from French to English, or vice versa. "I was posted"... did you post it, or someone else?

I'm not a native French speaker, so I would only be able to try and clean up a few minor things if you need the text in fluent French. I'm fairly proficient at pulling English out of French, so I'm sure I could give you a cohesive translation if that's what you need.

Quote from Moozipan

As far as I know, that has nothing to do with CTM but is a vanilla feature to add some variation to the tall grass next to random offset on the ground. The new grass looks really good by the way and I´m loving the new tools - especially the stone shovel.
Don´t let the impatient moaners get you down! ;D

Ah okay. Strange, to my eyes it looked more like they were going further into the ground. Yes i really like the colour variation on the grass now, its a shame i can't put it in the shader version at the moment.

I was a bit taken taken back by that last uncalled for PM so i thought i needed to say something.

Glad ya like the new tools

Hey Dagnatic, great to see you come say hi after all that lurking Thank you very much for the kind words.

Well i have ended up creating some alts as i try things so we shall see, i really want to get the base pack done as complete as possible so i can start putting time into the tekkit/FTB artwork. CH is going to be a very long running project so never say say never

Feel free to stick around and enjoy the party in here now you have stopped lurking

Thanks again

Thanks, I haven't started on any amour its a very time consuming texture process in high detail. I've collected some reference and it will be more Knight/fantasty type armour.

Hey Sam, thanks and yeah i needed to say something on that subject but its said and i need to focus

Re the French text, give it a shot if you have the time and it post it up on here

Quote from SharkyGAMER

Should I revert to 1.4.7 though? I'll start building with this texture pack's design in mind. I'll go for a nordic town by the sea!

Hey Sharky, yes yes have a separate 1.4.7 jar I use several through Magic Launcher. I'll have the files over in a bit. Nordic sounds cooool

Quote from AleXndrTheGr8st

Hi Syclone, just wanted to let you know that I have just finished putting together my gaming PC so should be able to run shaders very well now (I have a Radeon HD 7970), and so was wondering if you would like me to pick up testing once again? I should have a bit more time now that things have settled down.

Hey Alex, good to see you and congrats on the new rig no problem i'll sort you some files



Woooah that was a lot of replies, I had a bit of break last night on CH and got my teeth into the new Tomb Raider bad idea several hours game time and i was loving it! What a visual master piece! Gotta keep away from that game LOL

Quote from SharkyGAMER

Great, I use magic launcher to! I downloaded 1.4.7 and will add it! I haven't used the magic launcher jar feature yet ! Thanks! I'll check it out as soon as you email it! Wohoo!

- Please send me the link soon because I need a good idea of the pack before I start building, ro figure out a good design that fits the textures. I will start thinking up a few prototype designs and I'll start on a nordic, medieval village as soon as you send me the link! Thanks! Bye!!!!

PS: REMEMBER to post ad.fly or ad.foc links. You will make a great deal from them and I, for one, certainly don't mind waiting 5 seconds for the download, especially if I am helping it's creator!

Re the Links, I will be using one of those and i hope people chose to support the pack through the official download links from the CH website . I always support the people if I download their stuff and never had any issues using the links or waiting 5 secs for peoples efforts.

I won't use url shortners for people just testing just the main pack downloads, and i will not be using them for the CH tweaked shader files they will be direct download will full credit to Sonic/Danxitro I just edit them and spliced some effects together to get the result i wanted.

Right just compiling latest 128x no shader build together, so will have it over in a few mins.

Working on website today, while having sneaky bouts of Tomb raider LOL

Quote from SharkyGAMER

There are a few bugs i found with optifine D5 and Modloader. (Dont know whether these mods caused the bugs)
WIth the 128x non shader this happens when I place wooden planks on any other block:

I use MacOSX Mountain Lion if that helps! ! I dont have any other mods except optifine D5 Ultra TMI and Modloader.

By the way I love the top of the grass block! It's amazing! I also encountered a problem though. There was no grass on the side of the block! I'll upload a screenshot soon!

Ah I know why, its the CTM plank files that are in for testing. Delete verticalctm.png and delete terrain 4c 4a 4 properties files in the CTM folder. Also turn graphics to fancy as i haven't replaced some of the Sphax leaves on fast also the side grass needs to be added for fast so for now make sure graphics are set to FANCY

Let me know if things look better after doing that I'm running D5 no probs i would disable Modloader just for now to make sure things work on their own first.

EDIT, just tried it in game and same problem so mucked a file up somewhere. Do what i said above it will be fixed
