To give the idea of texture pack mods with LLO painting a place I added a section to the pad: http://piratenpad.de/p/emc-last-light-outpost Here is the template I posted there to get the discussion started:
Community caution: If venturing to the observation deck of Philo Tower (that is what I'm designating my skyscraper), make sure you have a finger firmly on the 'sneak' key whilst near the edge, at least until I get the glass pane safety railing in. I now know from personal experience that the fall from there to the first ledge is definitely FATAL. LOL ;D
Hm. The pad seems to be really glitching for me. So I'll just post my ideas here and read what you guys say on the pad for discussion ok?
Ok. I played for like 30 minutes with my image editor and edited my texture pack. I will not be allowed to redistribute the modified version but this was just a first test anyway. I replaced two of the big paintings in the pack. One with a screenshot and one with the railway map: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/207/20120710045728.png/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/696/20120710045717.png/ At least for 128px packs like mine it looks really great. Work to make it is ok. Took me so long because I am not good at image editing. Not sure how it will look if we have to scale down to 16x16 for default.
Does anyone have a link to a zip-file of the current default texture pack? I may try some things but do not want to extract it myself from the minecraft.jar Edit: Nevermind (for now). I will try some commands I found to extract it.
I really like the sound of an LLO texture pack. I was thinking that editable paintings to make a map with would be cool but a whole texture pack is even more awesome! I have one plane flight to do before I get home. I can then come back to the outpost and take a look around at the new this that have happened. Also I may be getting gold supporter and if I do I will be spending more time in town trying to finish the Miner Co. Tower on my res. I will be gin work on a small regional airport in some place when I get the time.
LLO Paintings Texture Mod Alpha1 (default texture pack) So I took some time and made a 16x16 default version. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/35/20120710054458.png/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/838/20120710054507.png/ I replaced more images. This shows the rail map at 16x16 (does not really work) and a screenshot. I used mostly screenshots and replaced all "big" paintings. The zip file can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?68xulv6vd9ciawx Works like any regular texture pack. This is more a proof of concept. I will have the time to maintain and make several texture pack mods. I am willing to help anyone who does and make pages and how-tows on the LLO site etc so people can mod their own texture packs if their is interest. PS: This is a "texture pack" that just replaces the default paintings with the LLO ones. I call it texture mod because it just changes one file so it is not a pack. It is not a minecraft mod. And it is not anX-ray pack. It is so small because it only contains the changed paintings file.
Not how I did it but might be a nice tutorial for our younger members if they want to try custom paintings. Not my video either. I run linux and did the editing with GIMP. Just found this on youtube and thought it might help others that want LLO paintings.
I found a video for the macs. Not quite making a texture pack and each person had to individually do it but it's pretty good and changes photos pretty easily. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTEpbtRSTYw&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Not to be completely irrelevant to what is in discussion now, but may I join? Bunda153 will come too, if you say yes. Thanks Zulu!
Pretty sure both of you can join. Zulu will send you the map and links. Your friend will probably receive those too. And it's not irrelevant if you want to join EDIT: Wow was I late. Disregard this now.
I'm planning to build a resort up in the north behind my house sometime soon. That alright? (kinda like the Beach House but with a more winter style; it's in the snow region)
Three more floors to go! (There will be windows) (this screenshot was taken on SSP creative mode) i plan to call it "Skyscraper Flag". The First (and some part of 2 floor) will look similar to this:
