Minecraft Forums

Started working on the website, will post a reply on this thread when i have some "beta" of it that can server a function.

maybe your antivirus / firewall is blocking mc or java.

Thanks, will see if its worth the trouble, atm not many people seem to be interested =/

Hello there, i have just looked into it and found out the source of the problem. They changed how redstone textures work. Will update in a day or 2 max.

Thanks for reporting this, and thank you for uding the pack

This is good, feedback is good.

As for resourcepack.net it's belive it or not one of the most used websites for resource pack downloading.

Problem is that people always shoot for the start or quit. For instance why does it have to provide a better service then curse? Curse is a great idea but i personally hate it. never posted my pack there, and never will.

Ofcourse artists will have controll over their download links, I will not be blocking any url shorteners, or any money making url shorteners, it is everyones right to make money from their pack!

You can force artists to put as much info as possible via Semi automaitc posting, AKA each pack will be reviewed before it goes online, if theres not enough info, contact the artist to add the missing info.

Everything that starts small can grow. If you provide a place for the artists where they can upload their packs, change their download links, interact with the community etc etc etc, and if it goes well there is always room for improvement.

As for the texture pack ranking I would try and add a FAIR system, since it will be a semi automatic process the pack can be devided (or given points) due to how much changes there were made in the current update to avoid people updating 1 texture and suddenly its on the top of the list!

Feel free to write more feedback, I would like to give this a try, but the website cannot live without the artists support. If i manage to get everything working, artists will still need to upload their packs there, i dont want to "steal" other peoples work and upload it on the website without their permission.

Share your thoughts

Its a custom plugin, not essentials.

Well thats kind of the owner problem, I myself have screenshots showing the pack without shaders, and have some with shaders, so whaever you position is, you can see what it looks like.

Now keep in mind that texture pack owners will always use the biggest resolution available, so if the pack comes in x256, it will be used for screen shots, because well the pack is ussualy made to look best at hier resolutions, the smaller ones are there to help people who cant tun the bigger ones.

Theres nothing you can do about it sadly, but hey downloading 100MB to try a pack out aint so much.

General idea, Need feedback!

I had this idea to make something, but it will require help from you all texture maniacs like myself

The general Idea is a Texture pack artist union website (dont rush to conclusions please hear me out).

A website where texture pack owners will submit their own texture packs (and updates) with their own adfly links or whatever you use to share the texture pack. The website will feature a comment section for each of the packs that are submitted so users as well as artists can help people with their texture packs or others texture pack.

What differs this site from lets say resourcepack.net?

Well I was thinking of adding a tutorial section to the website for artists, we can all come together everyone can write some tutorials in what they are good at, i myself for instance had a lot of problems with CTM, and since 90% of CTM tutorials are out of date and dont have an exanple templates or images, its pretty hard to find these. This tutorials section would be awesome and helpfull for the whole community.

The website will also feature a forum, where you can submit your WIP packs, get feedback, help, etc.

Any suggestions or feedback? want to add something? I would do the website myself, the only help i would need from people is to submit their packs and help with some tutorials

Thanks for taking the time to read this

Try that, might help

ok, will see what i can do about that, right now im busy with work

Thanks, it will be a slow process since every texture requires a lot of work, but I will try and do more soon

People do the cobblestone because of the way it looks on builds.

It's much better to put cobblestone like that, and you have more variety for builds available.

My god that villager scared me O.o I don't think ill ever do that to a villager xD\

While I agree there are a few Photo realistic packs out there,and there is no reason to use mine instead of the other ones (except they look different). And its impossible to make the textures without any tile issues (the loop will be visible at least) Im hoping that the look of the textures will make the pack stand out, not the style.

I have a different texture pack that has a unique style, this one I wanted to make for eye candy =] to be pretty and use shaders and normal maps to get that amazing feeling

Ill see what I can do with it.

Thanks for the feedback lemon.

Hey thanks for the feedback.

Thats cobblestone actually and the stone is light because of the shaders and the sun angle, its acctually a bit darker, will see how i can tone them together a bit more

All feedback is welcome feel free to post anything people

Youtube, whatever you want to build you can fint a tutorial on youtube, for sintance, redstone doors, hidden doors, stairway hidden doors, farms, etc etc. youtube is the best place to find any tutorials for these kind of things, from beginers stuff to rly awesome and pro creations.

I suggest making it more fun for yourself, dont build in mountains, build on some hard to tame terrain, like next to a river or something, secure your base, and make fences so creaps cant enter. Make secret passage ways incase you need to get out via a non traditional exit

theres lots of stuff you can do, redstone is pretty interesting you just have to have the nervs for trial and error, not everything will work as its supose to 50% of the time

I like to build my bases far from each other, and then when i mine enough things make underground railways from base to base, its annoying, hard and takes allot of time, especially if you have 7-8 bases scattered across the entire world
