Hey CF, just as a FYI the pre3 is out and there is a chunk of new stuff in the gui section and a few new things added to the terrain file. not sure what else, still poking around the files. Just thought I would give you a heads up.
Yup I'm looking at it now, just woke up, looks like there is the writing for the enchanting in the particle.png as well.
I'm going to thoroughly go over everything this time, so it's going to take a day or two to update.
Hrmmm didn't see the particle.png.. I seen where they changed the xporb.png file. Take your time, you do great work.
I'm pretty excited about the new stuff, I decided to actually write stuff on the book texture using the standard galactic alphabet that notch uses and it's really looking cool!
Put a lot of time into the Enchanting table, as I think it is super badass in general and deserved to be done in a sweet way.
For fun you should try to figure out what is written on the pages and front cover, *hint* it isn't anything dirty.
I changed the way the grids are in all the UI's I felt it better represented what I was trying to do, I hadn't tweaked them in over 6 months so after redoing the title buttons I realized it was long overdue especially with the addition of the enchanting and alchemy menus. I really feel like these are a huge improvement clean and crisp and round.
Keep an eye out for official 1.9, I have a feeling we'll be getting those dragons notch tweeted about, and I'll hopefully be able to get the rest of the stuff in pr3 that is kinda hard to test at the moment like ender goo and air portal blocks or w/e they are.
Your Enchanting table is KICK ASS!. I love it. Great job with this release. Love the rounding on the UI.. The only thing I have noticed is that things like obsidian and coal can be hard to see with the transparent grids. Love the Transparency though, so it's a love hate thing there :smile.gif:
Haven't had a chance to try and translate the book cause I have been enjoying the new graphics to much so far :smile.gif:

Yeah I like the transparent menus though, I don't have a problem with them, the tool tips do the trick, else I might change them.
So I'm not sure if to be upset or happy, but one of the Minecraft Enhanced mod features has been added to the official game. The lunar/moon cycles, I was holding off on updating the mod until official Minecraft because of all the changes to the code as of late.
Now it looks like I don't have to, no doubt he's gonna add the shooting stars as well, people are already suggesting it.
So congrats me I guess.
Wish I would have at least gotten a nod outta it.
I guess the good news Is I won't have to make the textures I already have them.

Well it is a congrats, One of your Features gets added in and now you don't have to worry about keeping up with the code changes, Let the masses go whine to Notch now about it :smile.gif: (Atleast that is one way to look at it on the *Positive* side)
Can't wait to see what you do with the Ender Portal!

The part that is the coolest is I think notch reached the same Realization that I had, you can't make moon cycles look decent without them being round, so if nothing else my idea got round suns and moons added to the game :smile.gif:
Kinda sad though that literally no one has mentioned my mod yet :sad.gif: even in the threads with people talking about it.
Working on a Pre-release version 4 version now, gonna take a while to test because of the end.
That's what Kinda sucks about the minecraft modding world, no one cares about anything until notch does it, and then it's like jesus himself did it.
HOLY ****!
Notch also added support for 128x texture packs!!!! Granted it doesn't work with the font and weapons/items, but wow I hadn't noticed looks like 1.8.1 is the same way, I had no idea maybe soon we won't need the patcher

Lets hope the Roundness stays in, 1/2 the minecraft world is ablaze cause they arn't square (Boggles my mind that people would be upset going from square to round).
I think the limited HD support inside MC right now is due to Jeb. I have seen Notch state that he didn't like the HD textures cause "it makes minecraft loss it's feel" Which also boggles my mind due to that you would think a indy developer would want to reach as large a target group as possible and in this time and day Graphic's play a large role in the appeal of a game. But of course... Jesus does no wrong.. Right?
Your 128x Items is showing up in HD on my unpatched pre4. Granted.. they look alittle "buggy" and the smoothstone texture had fire and water graphics on them... but it shows up for the most part.

Yup it's better than it crashing, it's like over halfway there now :smile.gif: even the water works! That's the big one. Also yes I voted for the round moon/sun on the poll, I like them better that way, that's why I have them in the texture pack like that, I've considered making them square before, but somehow I knew it would change. The poll is really really close.
Funny same with the crystal "air portal" block, I knew that wasn't going to be what they used, I didn't like it, I'm glad I didn't waste the time making a texture for it.
So for all fans of this texture pack/mod, PLEASE PLEASE vote for round moon/sun. I want it to be official the moon phases will look stupid if not, trust me on this one.
Just a thought cferril, is it possible if I can be a before release tester?
Thanks for the offer but it wouldn't really help, I'm a picky *******, I test as I go, and besides these are pre-releases, so basically you are "testing" anyway :smile.gif: Feel free to report stuff I missed though.
Update will be sometime today, I've already done the new potions and smoke animations, I'm working on the end portal stuff now, and the moon stuff is already done since moon phases were part of the minecraft enhanced mod long before anyway :0
Just a FYI, Notch stated that the round moon and sun won the poll so they should stay that way and also jeb posted and said "Oh, in pre-4 you can press F3+T to reload the current texture pack. Could be helpful for texture pack makers"
Thought I would give you a heads up that could be useful for you.
Pre-Release version 4 is up, Ender content is updated. Mobs will come after armor that I have been working on, it's almost done but just not ready yet it still has a few quirks to fix. Also note that there are some Items I don't particularly care for, such as the meats and some other items, those will also eventually change. Once Notch stops adding stuff at the insane pace he is, I'll be able to go back and fix things and polish what I don't like.
Thanks for voting for Round moons, it looks like they won! woot!

I really love your pack cferril1, I've been using it since 1.4. Congrats on getting your phase mod into the game but yes, some acknowledgement from Above would be nice.
I'm a major fan of this texture pack and have also been using it forever. Just curious though if yourself or anyone else is working on a mods version of this. Like minecraft enhanced industry craft, buildcraft, BTW or red power?
Honestly this stuff takes a huge amount of time to develop, I would like to finish the pack for vanilla before I texture for any mod, If I did make textures for mods, it would be for my own. Most likely you will never see me texture for those mods.
Also I still have to recode the minecraft enhanced mod once the official MC client is out as the Render code from 1.6 to 1.9 has changed greatly. I've been pouring most of my time as of late into my Rotator mod, it is really coming along nicely and the things I'm learning code wise are going to allow me to do some really cool stuff in the future.
Also keep in mind I don't even play this game.... I spend all my minecraft time modding, so yah....
I would really like to fix a few of the crappier Items such as meats and buckets first and get armor skins in, then mobs. I'm really trying to push to be completed by Nov 18th for the official Minecraft launch, if I put in a couple days work, I'm sure I could pull it off.
I just really really want an official update.... these pre-releases are cool and all but I feel my code mods are suffering because everyone wants to play 1.9 but MCP/Modloader isn't updated for it.

Can't wait to see your next round of textures!

Yah some of the items I really need to go through and Fix, buckets and meats especially.
I still need to do regular mobs.... but Yes my plan is for when I do make mobs to do them in layers so I can easily recolor.
Keep on making this awesomely sexy pack dude!
