Cause you know.. It's completely honest and ethical to continue doing something that you have been asked to refrain from until someone notices and says something about. Hopefully you don't live to that standard in all aspects of your life.
heh that logic is quite comical in my opinion.
Nah, that's not my point of view.
I originally used a combination of a lot of texture packs as my own personal pack. My subscribers wanted to use it, so I started distributing it on my own site. Then the texture pack forums started taking a dump and I realized I could get into trouble distributing other's works (not as my own, but I couldn't possibly credit the multitudes of texture packs I was using). So I decided to start making my own texture pack.
There's no way I could get a completely new pack out in a reasonable amount of time, so I created what I could and left what was leftover as placeholders. The forums are still getting ever worse, so I'm having to spend more time contacting authors and getting temporary permission more than actually working on the textures to replace them.
I wasn't trying to dodge or steal anything, I see it as people not allowing other's to use their textures WITH credits as unethical, which is what I meant by that quote. I was "waiting for it" in a way that someone waits for someone to report them on a crime they are not commiting so I can go "HA!!!".
At least it's a little better than what you were insinuating :wink.gif:
Will you guys just give Overwhelmed a break?! He's a great guy and quite frankly his texture pack is better than any other I've tried. He's added all of his disclaimers and when the doku guy asks him to remove some stuff he will. However, he's not going to take any advice from you for being a stubborn jerk.
I am genuinely curious: does your texture pack currently contain work not made by you, that you did not gain permission for?
Yes.
I've defended myself in quite a few posts throughout this thread. I'm sticking to the point of "I'm working on making my own textures, I can't credit or contact all of textures I'm using from other packs because I don't know where they came from, but if an author or moderator wants me to remove them or credit them I will."

Hmm, okay.
In the future, I recommend using the default textures as placeholders, rather than others' work.
Sorry, but we had this exact debate (and i mean this EXACT thing: "I dont know where they come from, if someone asks me to...") like 5 times already, overwhelmed. it resulted in a locked topic, all of them. (im saying this to warn you, I see you put work into this, and no one likes his topic getting locked because of something like that)
You are not allowed to use textures without permission, it doesnt matter wether or not the author asks you to remove them.
To alleviate all of the issues of using textures without permission, I have went out of my way to remove any textures I either don't know who the author was or I didn't have express permission to use. I have received permission by the incredible JohnSmith to use his textures. Now that I've stumbled over that hurdle I can get back to actually making textures, enjoy.
I think you accidentally took out Ladders and didn't replace them, because I started using your texture pack after the 1.2.1 part and I cant see ladders.
EDIT: Yep I looked at it again, and the exact place where ladders should be is perfectly empty in that square. I fixed it for myself though, easy peasy. Just letting you know.
EDIT2: Nothing to do with anything wrong with the pack, just wanted to say I love the idea of being able to use solid ore gained material blocks as bricks. Haven't tried them out yet, but I love the idea. Hope that the metal ones are metallic ish.

Yep, the ladders weren't working when I first released 1.2.1, but I've fixed it since then. Glad you enjoy the pack, let me know if there is something you don't like or want improved, I love feedback
very cool update, but why did you take out the ladders, breaking animation, wheat and stuff, they were your textures right? so why not keep them. the new ones do look god i must admit, i just wondered why you changed, but i preferred the breaking animation you had before in the 1.1 update
The breaking animation will be the first thing I work on next, I don't like this one either.
Read my last post before this one, or the last 15 posts to know why I had to change them.
i understand having to change the flowers, but why change stuff that you made which was fine? i did read the posts before hand, i just don't get why they are making a big fuss over 2 flower textures, fair enough changing them because of doku's disclaimer, but you changed the wheat and ladders and stuff. also was the wheat/ wild grass a sized down version of the rustic pack? Rustic Pack i'm not gonna have a go at you if it was, i just wondered? it looked familiar. anyway the changes were good. though changing to items wasn't necessary because the items where gerudoku, doku had nothing to do with them. but again, i have no problem, just curious for the massive change in things
I need to have permission to use anyones textures, not just Doku's. It's a new rule on the entire forum that applies to everyone. So the things I removed were not made by me, but others, so I replaced them all with JohnSmith's textures because I had permission to use his.

Could you put in a texture for Jack o Lanterns? Right now they just look like Pumpkins, but they give off light.
That's my only request xD.
Oh wait, 1 other, an annoying one, change the default skin! xD
OHAI MAYO!
When ya gonna get to uploading the Minecraft Stream Highlights? Are you not gonna do so?
I'm also here to support MAYOcraft...
^__^
Still unsure what I'm going to do with those...
The audio lag is random and really bad, I wouldn't be able to fix it. I'll have to do some research to fix the problem before I continue doing live events.
Ah, okay.

It's for the best though, less stress on my part.
But I have a request. Could you make still water appear to be moving? Like DokuCraft has it? It gives it a lot of life.

This is something I want to do down the line, but it sounds very difficult so I'm saving it for last.
Unless anyone knows a program or a method to creating some animations over a texture.

Added - cake bottom, pumpkin, pine sapling, birch sapling, wildgrass support
Removed - mics old stuff from folders
Tweaked - cobblestone, particles, rain
Lightened - bedrock
Cleaned the pack up a bit, if anything is missing now let me know and I'll fix it.
Let me know how the new particles look.
