Told ya the new patch'd work :biggrin.gif:
Excellent job, Koolwitak! I spent a few minutes this morning emailing Notch and using that problems/ideas thing he set up to try to get him to include support for HD textures includong animated water/lava and fire, watch and clock textures etc. Hopefully he takes notice... :smile.gif:
Notch head for you!
Thanks, that would be really awesome if he actually provided support for at least 32x32 textures
Then we wouldnt have to worry about installing this patch every time...
When I try to use it it just re-downloads minecraft to purge your program and I don't get my fix. I didn't pick a texture pack in the patcher screen, but I assumed you had it working in tandem with the new textue pack selection screen in the game itself.
I tried it selecting the file on my desktop and it also purges the HD patch.I don't think it likes me deleting the minecraft. original and version file. Either way It just selects the texture pack from its own texture pack folder. Might want to explain how to get around this, I am stumped.
This patch is not compatible with the new texture pack selector, it only works if you install the packs the old way
Over the past two days I got my account hijacked, was kidnapped, tortured and raped, taken to New York, forced to visit relatives in Ithaca, beaten severely, tied to the back of a truck, and finally dragged back to Mass.
So, without further complications, I will release Version 19 which was supposed to be released Saturday night.
I think the half block you use is awesome. It's one of the details from that fountain shot that drew me into the texture pack. However, some people from our mc server think it's too blue and would prefer a more stone like half block. You could get away with it either way, but most people don't have the wisdom to tweak their own .png's so not everybody has access to the optional block.
I'm going to change the half block for Version 19, and if people really have a problem with it, then I will go back
As for you, here is a (leaked) terrain file from Version 19, except with the original half-block
Just right click it, save as, and use this image instead of the one that comes with the pack
Also, shouldn't Obsidian be made a tad transparent? I mean, obsidian is supposed to be black volcanic glass, and the slight purple tint is only created (in real life) when light shines through. Shouldn't we have an Obsidian that is partially transparent? Not to the degree water or glass is, of course, but translucent at the very least.
Unfortunately I don't think Obsidian handles transparency, similar to the glass texture, which can only have either solid space or empty space, which is why the streaks in it are solid white instead of faded white

Oh, and btw, I have half succeeded in creating new water and lava textures based on yours that make it look like it flows better. I am considering stretching them in all four directions so that they appear to flow quickly, rather than a sluggish waterfall... still, my tiling experiment was an absolute success, although the HD texture patch seems to only allow the textures to "flow", but they are still inanimate. I can show you my edited terrain.png file if you want, and perhaps some screenies when I've finished attempting a translucent obsidian texture...
Yeah that would be great, send them to me over a PM
I actually already made a lava texture that looks a little better and brighter than the current one

I have fianaly got this texture pack working (verry good work fellas) but i have come across one more minor error that i cannot fix.
the gold block (i think this is the case for some other smelted blocks too) is only showing the fancy detailed side, there is no brick sides to it (like in the terrain pic). As you can imagin this makes it hard to build a good looking structure.
I know this is a problem, and it actually has to do with the HD Texture Patcher
I was thinking about changing the block so all sides have gold bricks, but until Xau updates his patcher to fix the solid ore blocks, they are all going to have the same textures on every side, nothing I can do about it
I am following the unistal instructions because i have same problem as an above poster (screen going black :sad.gif:) but i can't delete bin because of these files jinput.jar, lwjgl.jar, lwjgl.util.jar, and minecraft.jar it says they are open in java.exe i have nothing else open when trying to so what do i do?
Press ctrl+alt+del to open the task manager
Go to the "processes" tab and look for "java" or "javaw"
Help please!!! I copied the better version of Mixcraft (the non-pack one) and I ran the patcher with correct settings. When I run Minecraft, after I click the login button, I get a black screen.
First, follow the "How to Uninstall" instructions
Then copy the files again and make sure to un-check "custom water" and "custom lava" before patching it
I say this because I refuse to believe that anyone would be so utterly stupid as to try and pass off someone elses texture pack (without altering 1 iota) as their own work.
That doesn't mean its not a possibility, after all he might have thought:
"Maybe I shouldn't post this in the Mapping and Modding section because most people there would be familiar with Mixcraft... I should put it in the Survival Single PLayer section so people there will think it was made by me and wont know that I actually stole it from Koolwitak! I'm so clever!!"

The "black screen" problem should now be fixed, and you no longer have to uncheck custom water and lava
Version 19 Includes:
- Xau's HD Texture Patcher v1.1.9_02
- More in-depth uninstallation instructions
- NEW HALF-BLOCKS!! (don't look like bathroom tiles)
- Brighter custom lava texture (it glows more too!)
- Higher contrast solid iron blocks (less grey looking)
- Darker minecart texture (actual minecart, not icon)
- Better looking flint and steel texture (fixed by me)
- Scarier spider eyes! (not the same old red ones)
- (Alternate) FPS-style pumpkin HUD (by tombones)

Should the flint and steel texture be changed to a lighter?
I personally think it looks a little awkward, especially because the steel is floating in mid-air when you hold it
A lighter would be look better and be much simpler

Screw it, I'm sick of trying to get the poll to work...
Basically the question was: Do you like the current half-block or should it be changed?
Please answer below, and if you want it to be changed, give an example of one you like more

I hate when it takes 3 or 4 tries to get your posts to submit... happens to me all the time!
