Re: MC Patcher Features Broken By BTW 4.68

I believe custom colors didn't work with Better Than Wolves even before BTW v4.68. The "HD fonts" feature is the most important mod of MCPatcher, in my opinion, so I'm glad it still works. The Connected Textures Module was second, but I didn't even notice it was missing until you pointed i...

This is partly why I was disappointed with horses. People have been asking for horses for years, and they finally got them. However, one of the great things about MC is that it's a weird world: there are cows with mushrooms growing on them, bizarre villagers, abandoned mineshafts, endermen. I wish,...

Re: Anyone care if I rip out 3D anaglyph mode?

I doesn't effect me either way. I get 60 fps on my desktop, and I never use the red-blue 3D mode. The feature is a novelty. I imagine anyone who has used it grew tired of it after a couple minutes. Loosing all the color fidelity isn't worth gaining depth-perception, in my opinion. With the red and b...

I think short domain names are best. The domain pk-420.com is available, and it's generic enough that you could use it for other things in the future.

Re: Vattic's Faithful 32x texture pack [BTW 4.67]

Just fixed the axle texture so its animation appears to wrap around the sides of the axle. This is hopefully just a temporary solution, though, as it's maybe a little hacky and causes another visual problem. But I believe FlowerChild is working to fix the axle animation the right way, so hopefully w...

You've animated some invisible portions of the saw blade texture.

Re: Reliable Alpha Texture Pack for vMC?

This texture pack works, even in swamp biomes, but it is only for Minecraft 1.4.7 and below. It could pretty easily be adapted for use in Minecraft 1.5.1, though.

Re: What mods are people still using with BTW?

I started using MCPatcher for the HD textures, but even if 1.5.1 really does support HD textures, MCPatcher is still nice for installing mods for me. I kind of doubt that Mojang really has full-HD support this time. MCPatcher looks like it is still needed for HD text and HD skies, for example. MCPat...
