I think iron armor would be best to start with, for the following reasons:
Iron itself is already in the pack, and I believe the look of it should remain more or less the same for armor.
It is what I usually run around in, and I see it all the time on zombies. (Unlike gold armor, which is the sole providence of zombs).
A set of armor would be better than, say, having updated leather helmets, gold helmets, iron helmets, etc. but having default boots, leggings, etc.
It provides a good base for where you can base gold and diamond armor on
The stone seems to have a weird brownish line that goes through the offset area, but otherwise, I can find no faults.
Sounds logical and a good place to start with the armor
Were you referring to the new smooth stone i just showed or in the current pack update? Do you prefer the new smoother stone as its seriously growing on me as i try it in game
The new smooth stone is a bit better in my opinion, it was pretty hard to tell the difference between Smooth Stone and Cobble because of how dark the outlines were. It's not a crisp but that's okay with me.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong though, I've downloaded the 128x Shaders like 10 times now, even after you said you fixed it and I'm still no getting any of the updated blocks as I get on the No shaders.
Any was building with the No shaders 128x, loving it so far.
YAAAAY for the new stone. It looks a bit washed out at the moment but I guess it's not finished yet?
Yes its not fully there but i'm not to worried if its a little more washed out as long as it gives a smoother stone appearance but retains the style of the old one. It really is quite a pleasing look in game and still fits with the cartoony side

This is now making no sense as i have downloaded it a few times after the fix and others now say they are seeing the new tools, blocks mobs etc
Could you send me the zip file you have downloaded that is causing the problem, you can PM me a dropbox link or send it by email to info*chromahills.com <--replace the * with a @
The problem with using shaders with my non shader pack is you will get quite a washed out and over bright look, so we do need to get you sorted with the right pack.
The only thing I dont like is glowstone... the glowstone's just not ideal to use as a sort of powerless lamp to make builds much easier.
Already doing a new glowstone it will be a bit more traditional and better for builds.
BUT..........does the 1.5 128x 1.0.1 shader only pack have all the updates if you download it????? Its all i care about at the moment knowing the file on the server is showing the latest update as that silly glitch where it didn't update.
Working on new smooth stone also if you look a page back
Do the diamond armour! do the diamond armour! (and both items and the armour it's self please. Having the diamond sword and all diamond tools except for the hoe done, but not the diamond armour, is REALLY bugging me xD.
I can confirm the 128x Shaders has been updated and looks wonderful.
Also I love the glowstone, it's one of my favorite blocks in the whole pack.
Woooo finally they are updated now!! Don't worry about the glowstone, i will keep it in the pack you choose which one you want to use. The new one will use the old glowstone still but a more robust frame covering it to fit better with builds, but i will use the new features of Optifine/mcp to have a more organic stone in the nether and a more lamp looking one in the main world
Not really a fan of the stone on the last page. I think you should keep the stone and change the cobble.
Also, start with diamond armors! I really wanna see what you do for them.
Well thats a shame as i love it, and it was looking at your letsplay in the caves that made me say i need to do better and make it smoother the majority have said its a keeper (not just on here)
I'll look at the armors soon, iron would be much quicker to do than diamond i know that for sure!
Do the diamond armour! do the diamond armour! (and both items and the armour it's self please. Having the diamond sword and all diamond tools except for the hoe done, but not the diamond armour, is REALLY bugging me xD.
I'm on my iPod but I'll come back later today and download it. Great texture pack!
Thanks, hope you enjoy it so far
Well guys the new cobble is coming along now, that with the new smoother stone i'm really enjoying updating some of the older textures I will CTM all major blocks as well over time
New cobble, with block of new stone and the stone bricks, i think its all really gelling together now in the stone department.
And for the those RPG style floors Will add some CTM in a bit. So whos for swapping to the new cooble, the other was a bit busy looking but i'll leave it in as an alt texture in the pack??
Looks nice to me, as long as Cobble and Stone are easily discernable from each other is all I care about. Pretty much every texture you've put out has been very nice.
Hey so, No BS Texture Pack Reviews is planning to cover this pack. McKraw himself replied to me on youtube about it .
Oh thats really cool Only thing is, do you think its finished enough to do it justice as i'm still improving it and lots of default still showing. Maybe I should say to him before he does a review to give me a shout and i can give him the very latest version i'm working on?
I didn't think they would review it unless pretty much finished and i have more items, a ton of mobs, and armor still do etc
He did comment on this thread a while back It would require a follow up review really and i'm not sure they do that.

Looking back at it now, yeah I agree, new cobble texture is spot on.
I can't wait to see it in Mossy.
Well thats a pretty good response to the what was old cobble, that has now been overhauled and come back into play as the new cobble
Oh thats really cool
I didn't think they would review it unless pretty much finished and i have more items, a ton of mobs, and armor still do etc
