I have seen in several texture packs the use of a .properties file to give a randomness to images like grass, ores, etc. My question: is there a way to make a file for portal image so you can make different color portals at random. I have 6 portal color images, and have tried adding the files to the ctm folder, like my other random images, i have tried in the anim folder as i saw someone suggest. Ive even tried it in the /textures/blocks folder, but nothing works
To get random textures you need a few things,
1. A mod that allows random textures (mcpatcher, optifine etc.)
2. The random textures themselves.
and
3. A source texture for the random textures to use.
As there is no source portal texture you can't do it.
You can however make an animation for your nether portals by creating a file called
custom_portal.png
I was hoping that this was not the case, but what i dont understand it there is a base portal image in the blocks folder, wouldnt that serve as a base for the random file?
I only know how it is with 1.4.7 my computer broke just before 1.5 so I haven't updated yet.
Look at the link I showed you and go to the connected textures mod (ctm) section and scroll down to random
try that out with other blocks until you got it corectly and then try it out on portals.
if it still doesn't work ask the owner of optifine or the owner of the link... (AkA Someone who knows more)
