*sad* Yea, I do the daily check myself as well, but think I'm going to switch it to a weekly thing, they don't check/update this post enough, and sorta starting to not trust any 'It'l be out in x days' from it all. Still no answer on the forestry question either, so meh. Hopefully next time I check in here we'll have something.

If I recall right, nearly all of the current Tekkit based mods have said they're doing direct ports first, and no mention of any textures changing at all. Beyond EE3, no mod has any risk of losing a block beyond possibly RP2 and their emerald ore, so working on it now actually is the best idea if you want it ready for 1.3. The reason I ask also is because the actual creator of this thread itself said he would be releasing a preview of the pack on saturday, simply curious.

Any further news on that upcoming pre-release? Not so much trying to rush it out the door as see what mods are not currently included, so I can think about adding support for them if I can get Doku's art style down. (Forestry, ect)

Use the standard up to date dokucraft, they have some redpower textures, and it's a more grainy grey marble, just switch out the world items and it should work, or use an editing program to only place those blocks. EDIT: Their mod support pack: http://minus.com/mxGkIXl7J/ It's in their Technic Support section.

Sphax has the feeling of safety and organization. Has it's own website, original author still there, everything sorted properly. Doku is sort of.. all over the place, there's like 90 versions and no one's sure who's doing what. I'm glad to see someone pushing for this though. Looking to learn how to properly match the art style of doku as well so I can make a few myself.

A page or two back he posted an early release on it, minus redpower and all that, but the EE should work alright if I recall.

My suggestion would be to download http://www.mediafire.com/?o5jtu79a5n17o82 which is the PandaDoku Mix, it has Twilight Forest and Thaumcraft textures.. combine the thaumcraft ones into this pack. Also, I didn't see a firm confirmation, but even though Tekkit is dropping forestry, just about anyone can just add it in themselves without much hassle.. will there be for sure support for it coming from here, or should others start to work on a side pack?

The vast majority of the mods to my knowledge are not rebuilding themselves from the ground up, they're just porting over, so getting the work done now is very important. EE3 will be out, but I believe he's still using some of the same sprites and ideas, so it will work.
