You can now simply place the .zip file into your Resourcepack folder and it should work.
-Fixed file structure so the .zip is recognized by Minecraft. -Updated this thread and added more mod support! -Changed the Hay Bale slightly.
A Note About the Customizer:
The Minecraft Customizer website has not been updated to support the way Minecraft 1.5+ handles textures and resources. As such, I cannot update the customizer. It will still work for 1.4.7 and lower, but NOT the newer versions. This is why I put together the AltPack. Yes, it's a bit more work to rename the files, but it's the best I can do at the moment.

Q: "The spiders/endermen are white."
A: Since SummerFields is a 32x pack you have to use Optifine or MCPatcher to fix this issue. The reason only these two mobs are affected is because they both use an overlay for glowing eyes. The same answer goes for people using the Legacy pack on anything under Minecraft 1.5. You must patch the game or you will end up with weird stuff, like flaming pumpkins and a sea-washed nether.
Q: "What does '32x' mean?" A: Minecraft has a default resolution of 16x. The resolution is the size of the textures, the default ones are 16 pixels by 16 pixels or '16x16' or '16x'. 32x is double that amount making it 32 pixels by 32 pixels. This gives the artist a slightly larger space to work in and allows for more detail.
Q: "UPDATE THE PACK!" or "Update, plz" or even "When are u gonna update?" A: Apparently update begging is against the forum rules. Aside from that, the answer will generally be "As soon as I can." I'm also studying for a BA of Graphic Design so keep in mind that I have to finish art for school before I can do art for fun. (And also means that I am quite open to constructive criticism. If you don't like something, tell me why and maybe suggest how it can be changed. )
Q: "CuddleWoozle? What's that name all about?" A: I like weasels. Woozle is an alternate spelling, sounds cuter and is also the name of the sneaky creatures from Winnie the Pooh that steal honey. The 'cuddle' part is from my pet ferret who was extremely friendly and loved to cuddle with people. You can call me "Cuddles" or "Woozle", too, if you like. Q: "What programs do you use to make textures?" A: I run a linux system, so Adobe doesn't play well on my system. Instead I use GIMP, Krita and Inkscape. GIMP is the main one for my texture work and speaking from experience, is very nearly as flexible as Photoshop. Inkscape is a great vector illustration program and Krita is a wonderfully intuitive tool for digital painting. I also use a Wacom Intuos 4 tablet, which gives me the ability to vary the pressure I put behind my lines.

I've got to say that when I began it was the most frustrating experience I've had playing any game in a long time. I tried several times on the original (hardcore) variant and I eventually just gave up -- until you released the version that wasn't flagged for hardcore mode, at which time I decided to give it a go again.
Upon setting out to play it, I imagined it would be a kind of "roam from one dungeon to the next" kind of thing; where I'd just do a dungeon and get some gear, and then continue on to the next dungeon -- rinse and repeat.
That mentality didn't work out at all, because I just kept dying over and over in a certain dungeon. Chalking it up to inexperience at Minecraft combat, I just kept throwing myself into the fire but only became more and more demoralized.
Eventually I said to myself "F**k this, this isn't even fun," and started to rethink my strategy of how to approach the whole map. I ended up setting up a base at the VM; making wheat and melon farms, wrangling cows and pigs, digging out some new underground floors for the house there to make mushroom farms, going out to look for iron... Doing my best to build up the firmest foothold that I could.
And then, after taking my time to prepare.. To gear up with some iron armor, finding a few diamonds for a nice pick and sword.. Building and using an enchantment table... Things finally started to look up.
I decided it was time to take my water and lava buckets, my diamond sword, my iron armor.. and go back to that dungeon that was beating me up so bad, and own it.
And once I did make it to the end of that dungeon, and I opened up that chest, and came to the realization that the dungeon which I had halfway conquered using leather armor and wooden tools was in fact the red & black wool dungeon.. I felt revitalized -- invincible, even!
Here I was, thinking I was doing completely horrible.. And I had made it halfway to what is traditionally the hardest to obtain wools in the series!
I didn't intend for this post to turn into a wall-of-text, but I just wanted to provide some background for what I mean when I say that this map will always hold a special place for me and I think you did a great job on it.. But I do think that re-branding it could have some merit.
It would perhaps clarify that it's more advisable to gather up your own gear rather than expect to find nice stuff in chests to keep you going. Because, let's be honest, the chests in that map are pretty crap-tacular. I don't think I've found anything better than an enchanted stone sword in any of them yet.
And perhaps placing a plaque or sign at the entrance to each dungeon that would give a hint as to the intended difficulty of it. Not necessarily a one-to-five asterisk "hardness-meter" or anything, but maybe some kind of in-character passage or quip about it that would let the mind draw up what kind of stuff might be found there (the way you described your naming scheme when doing your Spellbound Cave dev commentaries comes to mind -- you figured Tenebrous Crystals sounded less ominous than Blackened Library, and assumed that players would venture there first).
Anyway, sorry if you were bored by my story but thanks for doing what you do.. And keep it up! I hope to try more maps once I finish out Lethamyr. Can't wait to see Inferno Mines and Fallen Kingdom!
