Westeroscraft Texture Pack Megathread

[Thamus_Knoward]

But wouldn't it make sense to get a more stable block now? One that only has the water texture and "no-collision" set to true, so that we can have a stable bock to work with that we can replace with a block with the desired behaviour later down the line?

 

[Emoticone11]

Hmm, perhaps, but I'd rather ensure that we can easily replace it down the line. I'm also afraid that having the block act differently would affect the ways people use it, or on the other hand, prevent us from using it the ways we did before, like creating rapids for instance.

 

[Margaery_Tyrell]

There are two water block id's btw, one is flowing water and one is water source block.

Both can be "layered" but the flowing water block makes the water drip particles and flowing water sounds. I'm mentioning this because I notice a lot of places with water layers that utilize flowing water where source blocks would be better.

 

[Elduwin]

Actually fuck it, since you mentioned that I'm going to add wet sand layers as well (with the same texture as the wet sand block, not the biome one).

Honestly, it's always good to have more options, but I'll continue using the sand layers / blocks with biomes, the transition is much smoother between wet and dry sand with biomes than with the blocks.

Everything looks fantastic, but the vertical flowing water blocks look especially fantastic, thanks Emote!

 

[Thamus_Knoward]

Emote, did you make a distinction between fountain-strength vertical water and waterfall-strength? I haven’t seen the block yet but I think this distinction should be made because a fountain won’t have the flow rate of a waterfall and I‘m predicting that this will be an eventual usecase of the block.

Perhaps there should be a small wheel type block for fountains and steams, a medium half door type block for drops btw 2-10 blocks and large vertical halfslab cuboid for anything taller than 10 blocks. Each block could then eventually get a distinct texture for different flow rates and strength? All of which would be substeps of the full block of falling water.

 

[Margaery_Tyrell]

Love the vertical water flows!

With 1.12 we also now have terracotta blocks that can be used to make 4x4 designs for floors and walls.

Also can we retexture beetroots into leeks?

I am currently working on a complete list for new flower and crop blocks based on the list of common herbs and crops I made a short while back.

It's currently on hold though, untill I get my irl planning in order. In any case, I'd wait a little untill that is done, especially since there are already other blocks queued like the Oldtown blocks.

Now imagine a thin layer of water on the topside of the middle basin

Do we need to be that pedantic about it? From what I remember those textures were pretty hard for you to make since they involve complicated animations, and from what I tested in-game the same textures seem to work fine for fountains (also people can just use the two low-flow variants out of the four I added for fountains).

Not investing anything into retexturing any more vanilla additions, there's just no point and they almost always end up being more restrictive than just adding our own custom blocks.

 

[Thamus_Knoward]

Do we need to be that pedantic about it?

My stance on that right now is yes. Whatever helps us to pin the usage of a block to a single case makes us more future-proof. But then again, I didn't know you had added 4 different types.

The texture was difficult to make because the water block has some internal logic that uses a vertical half of the animation strip and mirrors that. This made it difficult to modify the animated water texture for the use on a block that doesn't have that hardcoded logic.

Are you using the tiles of Alyssa's tears for the 4 fountain variants? In general, if the blocks that we introduce to the pack are labeled and fashioned in a way that allow a single use only, it is no problem at all to come in later and improve the texture...

STORMLANDS BRICK VARIANTS!?!?!?! BY MUSGOOD YES!!!!

Can I have stormlands cobble variants, please?

 

[Hgkoolaid]

Can I have stormlands cobble variants, please?

Musgood approves this request as well

 

[Steineke]

Would it be possible to get a black variant of the stormlands dark cobblestone block, and corresponding wall blocks, stairs, slabs, etc? I am currently working on a gradient for Wolf's Den, which has black walls according to canon, and have tried a lot of different things so far, but nothing which I really like. Using only basalt and bedrock is way too monotone. Northern cobble in small patches does not mix that well with bedrock, and dark cobble is just too light to use. Another black block, with something like the dark cobble texture would be perfect, and could also be useful in a future harrenhal redo.

 

[Emoticone11]

Yeah shouldn't be a huge issue to do that, can't imagine it making much of an impact on existing builds since basalt palettes aren't used that much.

 

[Enah]

Furthering my hopes to save harrenhal and *update not redo* dragon stone

 

[EStoop]

Could we have thatch walls as well? Not gonna lie, I'm purely asking so I can make my mills work.

 

[Wazgamer]

Typical selfish stoop

Don't see why not tbh, originally I didn't do it because of the issue with walls, but if we're fixing that it should look nice on rooves and wouldn't mess up anything too much.

Speaking of which, @Thamus_Knoward do you think your wall fix is ready to be implemented once I get back?
