Texture Pack,

[fieryeye]

any chance you can update the version of this texture pack?I followed your instructions, but starmade just crashes.

 

[kupu]

I\'m afraid the crash indicates a failed installation.

The image files are not corrupt, so if they go in the right place it all works (it is just image files). If you tell me what you are trying to install i can guide you through it in more details if you like? Just give me a PM.

regarding new textures...

Guys, i\'m pretty busy and currently trying to find work. Unfortunately this hobby project has to take a back seat until i\'m in a better position with free time. I\'ll try and keep updating it all and maybe even release a realistic texture pack in the future... but don\'t expect it any time soon.

Glad you liked the sample though!

Outstanding work Kupu

Love the look of the realistic ones as well if you manage to get time to complete the set.

 

[kupu]

Cheers man,

I\'d like to make another texture pack some time soon. Lets hope i can get things sorted and find some free time.



quick joke sample. what if starmade was set in 1969?





I was thinking about texture pack themes.

My current is quite cartoony.. so i would do something completely different next time.

My new one could be retro futuristic? grunge? clean JJ Abrams sci-fi? Old school 1969 sci fi movie?

Such fun to think about. (hence the little retro monitors)

A true piece of art Kupu! simply amazing work sir! (salute) Keep up the outstanding work!

 

[kupu]

thanks mrsinister. i should of put a question mark on the end of my last post though!

What style would you like to see in starmade?

something like a 2001 space oddesy? something like Alien? something like JJ abrams Star Treks?

 

[jericoz]

A steam punk version maybe ? Bio shock inspired or something Jules Vern would use?

Really nice stuff! A clean Abrams Trek Pack could be really cool! Keep up the good work!

 

[Kevinty7]

Do normal hulls look the same as hardened hulls?

 

[Enzer]

Kupu, if you do decide to take a crack at a more realistic pack, I would love to see something that is kind of a cleaned up (or I guess less grungy) version of your initial test images. The whole self cobbling of ships made from a mixture of bought, stolen and slavaged materials lends itself well to a \"It ain\'t pretty, but it works\" shoe string and bubble gum feel, if you get my drift. A Space Odyssey pack would be neat too for the retro feel. :P

Either way great job on you current pack and good luck on the job hunt!

 

[DracoNB]

I think a grungy pack and a clean realistic pack could be done with the same base textures, just add the grunge effect on top and then offer two versions? I really like the realistic version as all of the current texture packs are much more cartoony (yours is still my fav)

 

[kupu]

please read the thread.

Hello. Your texture pack is amazing. I\'ve been using since I started playing the game.

I\'ve noticed a problem though. Can you try and bring the specular light down? As it is right now, with direct sun light, all your blocks will turn to a burned white color.

I\'ve been messing around with the files in the Shaders folders, but with no satisfatory results.



Thanks for this amazing texture pack Kupu

 

[Archer6621]

Coincidentally... Same thing here, been messing around with shaders, but I can\'t find out what files or values are used to determine specularity brightness.

I\'ve setup a thread here for it: http://star-made.org/content/starmades-shaders

Gonna keep trying till I find something

 

[kupu]

Hey guys,

A few people have mentioned this now, but unfortunately its not something i know enough about to edit. I understand what you mean though, grass in particular is really hurt by the shaders.

Like i said, i don\'t know much about shaders, but it seems as if the lighting is affecting all blocks as if the material is irrelevant. Would be nice to see organic materials reflect light differently.

I supose i can look into it. But don\'t hold your breath... I\'ll be venturing into the unknown.

If your experimenting yeilds any results, give me a PM. Always happy to chat about this sort of stuff.

 

[mrsinister]

lol you need to ask about an Aliens texture pack??? LOL! Ofcourse I am going to say hell yeah! Aliens is one of my all time favorite movies....I even drew a custom Alien Hive warrior that I then had tattoo\'d covering my whole back. And it would be interesting to see what you come up with.

...my back:



and yeah...its not done yet...

 

[armoredcore59]
