Yes but I did it last year, lel. Let me go back and see if I can remember each step

EDIT: So, it seems to me all you need is 4 things: a bucket texture, a liquid texture, mcmeta files for your liquid texture, and an entry in the CustomItems .json file for your liquid. I'm going to assume you can handle the bucket texture, and just go through the other 2.

Liquid Texture: for this, I just copied and pasted the lava textures from vanilla minecraft into a new folder and edited the color, contrast, etc. Technically any .png with the correct proportions should work, I think. I'd recommend editing the default minecraft texture. If you need help accessing vanilla minecraft textures, just google it, and if you can't find an answer, ask me, I'll walk you through it. Here, you'll need to choose a name for your liquid that will be used in all of its texture filenames. In my example, the name is "molten_starsteel". So my two textures are "molten_starsteel_still.png" and "molten_starsteel_flow.png".

Mcmeta files for your liquid texture: this part is surprisingly easy. As long as you're fine using the default lava animation, you can just copy, paste, and rename the lava_still.png.mcmeta and lava_flow.png.mcmeta files from vanilla minecraft. These just tell the game which frames to change the portion of the texture that is dsiplayed. You could probably even copy paste the files that CustomItems comes with for its example liquids and it would work fine.

Continuing with my example, I just copy pasted lava's mcmeta files and renamed them "molten_starsteel_still.png.mcmeta" and "molten_starsteel_flow.png.mcmeta" respectively.

Entry in CustomItems.json: I'll just post my file, and you can learn by example. Nothing here is too important:

"fluids":[
{
"name":"Molten Starsteel",
"textureName": "molten_starsteel",
"temperature": 900,
"material": "lava",
"density": 1000,
"viscosity": 2000,
"lightLevel": 16.0,
"isGas": false,
"flowLength": 5,
"bucket": {
"textureName": "bucket_molten_starsteel"
}
}]

...except the "textureName" fields. Whatever you save your texture as, you'll need to put the exact name here. It seems that the file extension is omitted, so I'd just recommend using .png files.

Now, here comes the hard part, which I think there already is a tutorial for on the CustomItems page, but regardless, I'll go through the process here as well (just in case): you have to unzip the CustomItems .jar file. This is the main mod file itself, in your mods folder. In this unzipped jar file, you'll need to put your textures in the proper place. For liquids, this is

assets\customitems\textures\blocks

As long as you have all 4 necessary textures files

(liquidname_still.png, liquidname_flow.png, liquidname_still.png.mcmeta, and liquidname_flow.png.mcmeta)

in this folder, CustomItems will find them. So,for my example, I have, in this blocks folder inside the CustomItems .jar file,

molten_starsteel_still.png,

molten_starsteel_flow.png,

molten_starsteel_still.png.mcmeta,

and molten_starsteel_flow.png.mcmeta

Is there any documentation for this mod?

It seems that the content for this page is missing

http://customitems.otho.me/tutorials/fluid_texture_tutorial

Does anyone knows how to make fluid texture working?

Thank you, would you consider releasing an hotfix for this?

Because it only involves simple inventory manipulation, there is no other workaround to prevent people from exploiting this bug

I'm getting a dupe bug here

Open the inventory of techguns, shift+rightclick on a non-full stack on the first slot, and you'll get a full stack

Put down the drill and insert a drill head, supply it with power, and open the GUI a second time

I've used forge's delete crashing TEs function so the sever does not go down with it, but the block got deleted

I'm getting a weired crash, it can only be reproduced on the server but not on singleplayer

Suggesting to give the chainsaw boss a jetpack, seriously he's too easy to be dealt with

Fortune 3 might be high end on vanilla, but with mods it's just a beginning, just look at TiC

I'm getting these in the console every minute, does it mean that the mod failed to scan the world?

Seems to me that fortune enchantment is extremely effective on hard ores

With a fortune 3 pick you can get almost 1 stack of raw ore out of a single block

Could you add some sort of config option to prevent fortune interaction?

There is some bug with the default cog config

HarderExtraOres.xml

Seems that hint veins for silver and nickel lacks a ore block descriptor

Is it just me that adding chromaticraft cause serious lag even in the menu?

I got one cpu core fully used in the menu (where it shouldn't be used when idle) and the ingame FPS dropped from 60 to 15 with CrC installed

Edit: found the problem, seems that CrC doesn't play well with anistropic filtering

Anyone? I don't really want to scrap Reactorcraft due to ore gen, but if it comes down to it...

I wonder if it's even possible for all reika's mod to update to 1.8.

The amount of work would be insane
