ErusPrime Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I've decided to try my hand at expanding the Tronic Texture Pack. I have no idea what I'm doing so if there's anyone out there that wants to help, I'd like to see the first official texture pack that has been expanded specifically for technic. Seriously, my ability to art is almost nil. Phase I - organize the core technic mods and make the necessary file available for editing. Phase II - pick a pack and start editing Phase III - impress the ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkthegamer Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I would be willing to help thought I would be more skilled at helping with Phase I thought I might be able to mimic the style on certain lower detail items, I was able to pretty accurately add the spawner egg to my personal copy of Doku high back when it they were only in snapshots (took a bit of tweaking to center it right though). So I would be willing to help in whatever way I can... Well when I am not busy with classwork that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Man Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I've actually been farting around with making a texture pack for a while and it kind of has that hyper simplistic feeling of Tronic but less simplistic. And not nearly as nice or nearly as done. I'd LOVE to help make this. Really, I would. It'd be good experience and honestly, Tronic can't be that hard to duplicate. Most blocks are like four colors is even. Phase III though... I honestly can't think of many ladies that would be considerably impressed by Technic support for the Tronic texture pack for that game with the blocks. And I've got a girl friend already... So I might skip this step. But please, post results from this phase if anyone gets anything. I'll likely check back in later tonight to see if anyone has "called" anything or "assigned" anything. Until then, I'm going grocery shopping and then grabbing Tronic to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErusPrime Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 sweet. if you've already got the mod art out share the files. save me a few steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Man Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 By working on I meant like less than half of terrain.png. *ahem* Well. Uh, anyways. Working on block_0.png of ic2. Basically its terrain.png. Also, ErusPrime have you found a "map" or whatever of ic2 (or any of these mods) because sometimes I'm not exactly sure what a particular block is or goes to. It'd be nice to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wudzerivovneach Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I'd be willing to attempt helping if given a specific task. Save for certain things that this wouldn't be included under, however, I have the nasty tendency toward idling and laziness if not given some sort of instruction. I also have very little to no artistic ability, though I think this pack, due to its simplicity, is easily within the ability of anyone to append to, provided they can see color to some extent and have an idea of what doesn't make eyes burn.

linkthegamer Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 ...what doesn't make eyes burn. So it is agreed we do the whole pack in neon pink? XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wudzerivovneach Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Feel free to make your own version with that color scheme. I'm sure there's someone, somewhere, who would love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Man Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 So it is agreed we do the whole pack in neon pink? XD How could I tell every block apart from pink wool? What if I dropped a raw pork chop and couldn't find it? What is it's hard to find pigs? I don't think all neon pink is a very good idea. Also, it kind of is difficult to have everything look really basic but also be able to differentiate between a lot of blocks. I've the iron furnace, electro furnace, and reienforced stone, glass, and door all done as well as what I believe to be the generic sides, tops, and bottoms of the machines (top most 3x2 in block_0.png). Speaking of which, does anyone know what the deal is with that second set? The slightly darker iron looking blocks? What are those for? I've been trying to tell but I'm not sure, looks like maybe some of the machines have a slightly darker base though so maybe it is for those. I say we call it "Techtronic!"

Hehe, I was just tying to pick the most eye burning color I could think of, though a single color texture pack would make stuff... interesting. I like the name "Techtronic". Just got to avoid any TRON references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Man Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Here is what I have done. Oddly, I've felt like texturing but yet unluckily it's been one of those days where the ADD acts up. Bleh. Can't believe it's eleven already. Anyways, do you guys like this? The top two rows are the only with anything done. the bottom is essentially scratch work. As always, criticism is encouraged. You may notice that there is a lot more... detail? I guess? Than tronic normally has. That's because first, it would be so hard to differentiate a bunch of blocks with outlines and second because the machine block is basically an iron block and the iron block has a gradient I used it on the machines and on the fuel can on the canning machine.

ErusPrime Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Separated Texture Files I extracted all the items in my mods folder. I went through each folder (leaving the structure in tact) and deleted anything that wasn't a PNG. Lemme know if I missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrpeanut188 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Separated Texture Files I extracted all the items in my mods folder. I went through each folder (leaving the structure in tact) and deleted anything that wasn't a PNG. Lemme know if I missed something. Hard? I guess.... Anyways, I got a texture pack made for Tekkit, then copied it to a folder. I then overwrote most files with the Tronic pack. The texture pack I used is Morton's Plain and Simple for Tekkit. Just google it. Goes good with Tronic. I think. Only problem is that the Morton's is not high-res. May cause problems. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it but I prefer the Tronic pack. It has a cleaner feel to it. Like you're actually playing in a digital world. edit: also, post the edited pack.

It is too large for an attachment due to Tronic's bigger resolution. Some things do look kinda weird. http://www.mediafire.com/?89200bx8f4jaib3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boruk Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I am working on replacing all the iron furnace/block things from ic2 with the new iron texture from the vanilla pack. But your pack looks very nice :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErusPrime Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'm waiting for the technic 1.2 update before I start messin with stuff. who knows what kind of craziness is gonna be in 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthetica Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Just a quick idea: take the iron block texture, put a win7 wireless signal bar on it, full for on, empty for off, and make it the wireless redstone texture. This is a huge project though, I also tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poiasdope Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 You could get Isabella's unnoficial mod support files and then mod'em too. It's not made specifically for Tekkit or Technic but it worked great here (with the exception of Millenaire). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilcube Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 hmmm... looks pretty cool am using PureBDCraft atm for TEchnic Pack but gonna add this to the folder! Have been doing some texturing myself TBH so if you want me to have a go at anything that would be great. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthetica Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hmm, by the way, something that's always been bothering me is the nuke texture. Might make a new one this night. EDIT: but getting some sleep first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Man Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I kind of completely abandoned working on this. However, I have been diligently working on a 32x texture pack that's more or less a Tronic deviation. Most blocks are either very simple with the shaded borders and no style (most natural blocks), have a nice hexagon pattern (stone and logs), or try to get that incredible, euphoric, "omg I'm in a digital world" feel. As such, I'm calling it "Digitize me Captain!" Terrain.png is almost done, then I'm moving onto get the "natural" blocks from the mods, then onto items or manufactured mod blocks. Maybe mobs at some point in there. When I release it I will do it under CC with share alike and give a nice readme on how to make some basic textures with it (there will be "templates" included as well as a bare minimum wtf is GIMP). If you didn't notice I attached the terrain .png. It's undone, obviously. Tell me what you guys think about it. I realize this post is nigh off topic but I am posting this because I think most of the (not implemented yet) mod support would look good with Tronic so I thought everyone would be interested. Things I'd like feed back on: The wool, the ores, the leaves, the torches, and the furnace. Is the wool too stylistic? Should the ores that require smelting be more like the original (instead of looking like a chunk of stuff)? Should the leaves be... different? Should the furnace not have the original half slab bottom that the original has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
