Low Block Change Request: Retexture Colored Sept Window and add Colored Sept Window Pane

Request: Retexture Colored Sept Window and add Colored Sept Window Pane

Request Type: Change

Try to describe all current uses of the block you request to be changed. Do you foresee any issues/ problems that could result from changing the block?
The Current Sept window does not have anything 7-related about it. It has 6 colors and is in the shape of a diamond instead of a star, it’s also a really old texture that has a lot of potential if updated. Also adding panes makes sense since our custom stained glass blocks have pane
variants.

Types of evidence to support your request: Canon

Canonical Evidence
Riverrun‘s sept has rainbow-colored windows.

Also down below is concepts I’ve made for window designs.

Each of the 7 has their own color associated with them:

Green-Father

Blue-Mother

Purple-Stranger

Pink-Maiden

Red-Warrior

Orange-Smith

Yellow-Crone

I also pasted the current texture for reference.

Yeah, this is the first colored glass block I ever did *teary eye*.

I have a question though, does anyone still use full glass blocks?! Could you collect some in-game use cases of this block for me?

Hypothetically, and with the use of some advanced CTM, we could go all the way to cathedral style glass windows.. but that heavily depends on whether I'm messing up builds if I do so.

I think we do use full glass in certain cases. Some that I can think of: double/triple thick walls and when we want the rainbow glass included. Would it make sense to consider adding a rainbow glass variant for glass panes?

That’s what I’m suggesting with adding a colored sept window pane. Here is the concept I made for a possible texture.

 

[ContraBlonde]

I made some concepts for a new faith-specific glass pane CTM block. Each of the seven gets their own new pane block that has a 1x2 ctm. In addition I made a texture for the retexture of the Colored Sept Window and a pane variant. Please be lenient I am not good at drawing people.

If it's at all useful (or anyone is bored and wants a coloring book page!) I have a faith of the seven stained glass window I designed (actually for the server!). I've seen the level of detail that conquest put into its stained glass windows, and I don't think we'd want to go that far, but the windows with the seven might work for something.

love the middle one

I'm moving this to in-progress under the understanding that the request entails the following two changes:

1. A new texture for the colored sept window block (possibly with added CTM).

2. A pane version of the colored sept window block, with the same texture/CTM.

Suggestions other than these two should be submitted as separate requests.

Thamus_Knoward , do you feel up for working on a new texture and possibly CTM for the colored sept window block?

I forgot to post this earlier but I made a concept texture for it.

I'm happy to polish ContraBlonde's starting point as a single texture but I fear to achieve a versatile and impressive design for CTM I'd need a block for each of the seven, or a wholly new system of logic to handle different sizes of glass windows.

I'm not opposed to adding blocks for each of the 7, since it's a somewhat niche texture that would only apply to the wealthiest septs and therefore shouldn't outdate much. I'll have to defer that judgment to the community though.

One issue I can forsee is that it's common for septs to have windows along a diagonal, which is possible by mixing full blocks with panes. Would a versatile CTM only work for grid-aligned windows?

Would it be possible to add full block versions of these 7 new pane CTMs? Full glass blocks that work similar to Winterfell Carvings by having a vertical CTM would be excellent for ornate septs like the Starry Sept. Adding full blocks would also have the benefit of working with the complex diagonals of heptagons.

Yes sadly diagonals are not detected by CTM

Sorry for not sharing earlier, here's the texture I made Thamus_Knoward
Edit as you wish!
