    Prepare yourself, Reddit.

    Huh?
    Quote from Askstrony
    So what's gonna happen with the update exactly? I'm kind of new here.

    Remember the beta forum, with the garish pastel colors and the massive, crippling formatting errors? They're going to be making this one be like that. In short, this is gonna suuuuck.

    Still a horrible eyesore, I'm afraid.

    Also, the spoiler tags don't work. Like, at all. The ugly new "spoiler click here" button changes when you click on it, but nothing is every actually hidden (except for everything that isn't supposed to be hidden).

    Also also, whether or not text formatting actually happens when requested is wildly inconsistent, user signatures don't appear on their posts about half the time, the information typically found under the user avatar is missing, outbound links (such as mediafire) just redirect back to the page you're already on instead of leading where they're told to, and there's this weird, useless little button green dot in the corner of the avatar picture that doesn't appear to actually do anything besides look horribly out of place.

    Also also also, I was unable to find any noticeable improvements. Load times are exactly the same as they already were and the "improved layout" is, as previously specified, exactly the opposite.

    Moral of the story: If it ain't broke, don't break it. Please. That's the one lesson you corporate fools never seem to learn.

    Hazmat horses!



    Look how detailed they are. That's why I'm going to update the human armors.

    Seven-point-ten? What manner of foul bewitchment is this? There is no point-ten! Point-ten is the same as point-one! Next you'll be trying to make pi equal to three, a triangle with three right angles, a set of all sets that contains itself, or even try to be in two places at once when you aren't anywhere at all!

    Just judging by the picture in the article, the new version looks quite unattractive. I'll never understand this new trend of major internet and software companies making their websites as ugly as possible without resorting to a lifting their designs directly from bad '90s Usenet sites.

    I shall avoid the new version like the plague. I've already got too many unnecessary stressors in my life already without having to stare at wobsites.

    .....GS v16 Slime Block!

    These are a few pics of initial slime ideas, as mentioned in the post above. Based on the leaded stained glass window frames, my idea is to use the transparent nature of the slime block to create a unique girder style version. Alts aplenty can stem from this, including versions that look a little more technical with springs and the like. As they will be based on the stained glass, possibilities are even more endless.

    I think animation might be a little overpowering at this stage for something that might be used enmasse, but we'll see. I just want to keep things simple to start with, as I'm also contending with texturing new and old stone, including new ores. At this rate though all of this will take a long time, as I hate doin' massive amounts of ctm.



    Rest of the pics? Click the spoiler button.











    ...and a funny one to end on... 'Slime Pad Blocks'!


    After Rosestorm's suggestion about inflated airbags as per airship use, I couldn't get the idea of bouncing around on the top of an airship out of my head! :D So I'm currently working this minute on just such a thing. A good candidate for some simple random ctm too. As soon as I have something to show I let you see it.

    I'm still intending to update very soon to GS v.15 with fixes and the new spawn_eggs, hence why the title of this post is GSv.16. v16 will only come out after MC updates to 1.8 and given the slow nature of work at the moment I might update in stages, as and when I get each bit of stonework done. I really don't want to keep you all waiting as long as you did for 1.7.

    Let me know what you think of the above, including any suggestions. No swearing or vomiting please! :D

    I hope you don't mind if I copy your idea of using one of the stained glasses as metal girders. Not the textures, of course. Just the idea

    Quote from Zardium

    Probably not, unfortunately

    Well then I hope that, at very least, they eventually make the "additional" mob heads into actual mob heads.

    I want to make a better, more detailed skin for the Silverfish Maggots at some point, but every time I try to do an image search for potential reference and resource pics, I can't look at the reference images I look up long enough to choose (or, for that matter, actually use) any of them. I'm generally okay with pictures of bugs, but there's just something about maggots that make photos of them absolutely goddamn terrifying for me to look at (or to think about at any length, which is unfortunately what I'm doing right now).

    Fun Fact: Maggots are sometimes used to medical and cosmetic treatments to get rid of dead skin and necrotic tissue, because they absolutely love eating any kind of dead flesh, but instinctively avoid living flesh.

    Post a pic, I'm curious to see what it looks like. That's the kind of stuff I like to do in my builds.

    Laughing is a federal crime, you know. :D

    Oh no, don't get me wrong. I like the jokes. Those are great. What gets to me is all the sorry schmucks that fall for 'em. The exception, of course, being any hoax clever and well executed enough that its success is clearly a result of the skill and ingenuity of the hoaxter, rather than the idiocy of the mark.
