On the plus side, I like the new location for quoting, replying, etc. and the new editing looks really nice and well thought out.

The colours and textures blend nicely together and I have to say, for having no alternate textures (at least that's what it looks like) the tiling is absolutely fantastic! Like actually some of the best tiling I've seen, you did a really great job on that!
As fishy said though, I'd also like to see a few more hard edges on some of the textures. Lots of the textures are very soft and rounded off so it would be nice to have a bit more variation.
Speaking of variation, as with any pack, I'd love to see some alternate textures thrown in there! They really help add to the visual interest of a pack imo.

Huh, I might actually be able to edit it then. I'll play around with it tomorrow and let you know if I have any luck!
And don't worry, it's no bother at all.

Ooooh, sounds great actually! I'd give you full credit of course.
Since I'm happy with my current normal glass texture I might create the ctm for that too just to finish off all the glass ctm, could be a nice addition as it's also used in optifine iirc which is still getting updated (even if mcpatcher seems to be drying up).
What's the mod that adds the hell biome? I could have a look at how they implement biome colours most likely.
If it is based on the swamp biome then I'd only be able to change the colours for that which means you'd have swamp biomes with a red sky too. Could be something to play around with though I suppose!

First up, thanks - having everything blend together and fit well without anything obviously looking out of place was probably the major focus of the pack so I'm definitely glad it's noticed and appreciated!
Secondly, wow, you've done a fantastic job with the models - they all fit really, really well actually!
I didn't want to go too crazy with the models as I thought they'd start to look out of place but honestly all the ones you've added there look right at home. I might have to start adding a few more models, making all the doors and trapdoors 3d would be a nice start!
Great job adjusting the mobs too, I can recognise the packs they came from but they still fit in perfectly.
I still intend on working on this pack in the future so who knows what I'll end up adding to it...
I did actually support them a while ago! Both of those ctm types were for older versions of the glass and bookshelves so that's why they're currently not supported - instead of redoing their support I focused on other things such as adding models, variants for all the normal textures and finishing off more mobs as they're all things that work without any mods and thus more people would see the changes.
I might add support back in for those ctm types in the future but I'll be honest, it's not the highest priority right now. Plus I'm not even sure if I can get the bookshelves ctm to work with the random ctm + models they currently have so they might be out of the question entirely!

The new textures are definitely an improvement overall, really think the blocks fit together a lot more nicely now too.
One thing though - I think the new diamond has a bit too much of a dark outline surrounding it which I think could be toned down a little.

No worries Arcensoth, glad you're still enjoying the pack.
Thanks for pointing that out btw, must be an issue with the culling. Should be an easy fix!

Yea, doing as mentioned above would work fine or you can even just remove the lang file which is a bit easier. There aren't too many changes made to it so you probably wouldn't even notice the difference and you would have the normal names for ender pearls and ender eyes.

Just thought I'd let you know, I couldn't get the glitch to happen with my own testing, no matter which optifine version I used... No idea what's causing it for you but I'm sure it's not the pack as it's working fine in vanilla, with mcpatcher and optifine for me and it seems like it's working fine for other people too. Sorry I couldn't figure it out!
Also I've tweaked the lightmap a bit to make it not absolutely pitch black in caves now although it's still a bit darker than vanilla. I can still see even with my brightness on moody though so it should be a lot better for you guys.
I'll upload the hotfix for that shortly!
EDIT: Oh, I also got some nice headings and pictures for the OP so I can finally fix it up and make it look nice too.

Cheers! The birch forest is actually one of my favourite biomes, both with my normal pack and with the fantasy tree pack - I just really like the atmosphere in it. I also find it rather soothing, sort of like you mentioned. Glad you like the new skybox too, it's a reasonably subtle change from before but IMO quite a nice one.

Hm, don't really remember changing the lightmap but since it's been so long from when I started making this update there's a good chance I did indeed change it this update and forget about it. I'll tone it down or make an addon pack like you suggested, seems like the best way of doing things!
Thanks for the info about the redstone issues too - my 1.8.8 optfine was also unable to reproduce the issue (pretty sure it was a 'U' version of optifine too). I'll have to try each version of optifine to see if I can get it to show up.
Also, just from looking at your pictures, have you tried turning alternate textures on? Imo it's a huge improvement to how things look with this pack as all it does is add a bit of variation to the textures like ctm (but it's a lot more expanded than my ctm is currently).

Glad I could help!
That wall looks awesome too, really love the textures you've been messing around with - cool stuff.

Yea, they're pretty similar. I'll take another crack at them, see if I can come up with something a bit more unique so there's more reason to use them as opposed to just sticking with every other type of brick!
That might be an issue with optifine but it might also be my pack, I'm not entirely sure. I'll look into it for you! If it is something I can fix then I'll release a hotfix for the pack asap.
Hmm, I'll have a look at it. I was just using 3.3 with an optifine version on mc 1.8.8 and the redstone was aligned properly and everything so I'll have to investigate further. It's possible that it's an optifine issue but that's pretty unlikely. I'll take a look and get back to you on this, thanks for the info!

What version of the pack and what glitch is it exactly?

Also I don't think you need to have the textures specified twice. See if this code works:
wall_ns.json
{ "textures": { "particle": "#section" }, "elements": [ { "from": [ 5, 0, 0 ], "to": [ 11, 13, 16 ], "faces": { "down": { "uv": [ 10, 0, 16, 16 ], "texture": "#up&down", "cullface": "down" }, "up": { "uv": [ 0, 0, 6, 16 ], "texture": "#up&down" }, "north": { "uv": [ 5, 3, 11, 16 ], "texture": "#section", "cullface": "north" }, "south": { "uv": [ 5, 3, 11, 16 ], "texture": "#section", "cullface": "south" }, "west": { "uv": [ 0, 3, 16, 16 ], "texture": "#side" }, "east": { "uv": [ 0, 3, 16, 16 ], "texture": "#side" } } } ] }cobblestone_wall_ns.json
{ "parent": "block/wall_ns", "textures": { "side": "blocks/Custom_UV/cobblestone_wall_side01", "up&down": "blocks/Custom_UV/cobblestone_wall_up&down01", "section": "blocks/Custom_UV/cobblestone_wall_section" } }0
Damn, good catch lemon!
That would indeed be the issue. I've had that issue a couple of times coding stuff for uni, should've caught up on it...
