HDX Textures (16 - 512 px) [git rolling release]

[VanessaE]

Update: added support for cheapie's plasticbox mod.

Also: the 512px normalmaps repo got a huge update today, mostly the result of having pngcrush'ed the files before, but I must have forgot to upload the changes (plus added plasticbox there too). :-)

@VanessaE
First off... most excellent work on the texture pack. We are really enjoying the heck outta it. Just one thing, there are many textures for the default mod that are in jpg format rather then png so they don't show. This occurs in the 64x64's in git. Haven't checked any of the others. Might of been a oversight as you are maintaining so many sets. I'm sure your eyes cross after working with them for any amount of time.

Cheers, Lee

Can you give me an example, or a screenshot showing it? What game are you using?

[ExeterDad]

I'm thinking .jpg's are intentional? If so, my setup may be at blame. I'm running the Minetest game. We have several worlds that we use different combinations of mods on so the mods are in worldmods directories rather then in the global mods folder. I wanted to install the textures server side to control what is seen. So I copied the new textures into each installed mod texture dir, and that included the textures within the minetest_game. In the (default mod) nodes.lua file I see the textures are supposed to be .png.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_node("default:cobble", {
   description = "Cobblestone",
   tiles = {"default_cobble.png"},
   is_ground_content = true,
   groups = {cracky=3, stone=2},
   sounds = default.node_sound_stone_defaults(),
})

I take that it is not necessary if the textures are installed on the client side?

If you didn't also delete the PNG images that were already there, the JPGs will not be used. The engine tries to ignore filename extensions, but it will use the exact-named files first if it can find them, and then look for other filetypes if the exact-named files aren't there.

Nicely explained! I prefer to use the .jpg's anyway where alpha isn't a issue as they are much smaller in file size.
Thanks for taking the time to clear it up for me :)

Updates: A number of little things here and there - the biggest thing is that, over the past couple of weeks, Zeno and I have worked Caverealms support into HDX. There are still one or two images missing but I think it's safe to announce that it is officially supported now. :-)

See the Changelog for details on what all has been added.

Once again, I thank you very much for all this work, VanessaE and Zeno. It really shows. :)

[VanessaE]

You're quite welcome :-)

I dont know if anyone asked, but can this support:
KPGMobs
Mobs
Sea Mod

[VanessaE]

Sea mod, maybe, but HDX does not support any kind of MOBs, because frankly, they're just too difficult for me to make.

Having no clue what a particular fantasy creature should look like when rendered photorealistic, combined with the difficulty in finding real-animal-suitable imagery, I just chose not to do any work to add any of the various MOB mods.

It's possible to support them, and I welcome contributions in this matter, but the imagery has to be extremely good quality. I'm picky about that. :-)

[R34LD34L]

Thanks for the Reply! Yeah I understand, well support with the sea mod would be cool!

[VanessaE]

I guess you mean this one?

Yup!

VanessaE I love this texture pack!

[R34LD34L]

Your not the only one!

Hello VanessaE :)

Here is a list of texture_related changes in the farming mod that went into minetst_game:

* rename farming_string.png to farming_cotton.png
* add farming_desert_sand_soil.png
* add farming_desert_sand_soil_wet.png

Here's a full texture list: Github

Updated for 0.4.10.

[cHyper]

farming hoe for mese and diamond are in the texture pack ??

[VanessaE]

Yep, just added them with that last update. However, looks like I missed the farming stuff entirely in my make-release script. I've just now fixed that and updated the "Default-only Releases" downloads accordingly

[VanessaE]

Update: Finally cycled out all of those rendered ingot images in favor of... MORE rendered images! :D Actually, the new ones are based on actual photos this time and they look pretty damn good, if I do say so myself. :-)

I am using the latest HDx32 pack


This doesnt happen with other texture packs.


What can I do to fix it?

You need to say more, Napiophelios. For starters, what version of Minetest are you using?

version 0.4.10 msvc for windows

Other texture packs probably don't supply a sun image, which is why they don't exhibit this glitch. It might be that the sun image in HDX is too big for your video device. Even in the 32px size, the sun is 1024px, which is overkill. An error on my part.

I've pushed an update to the repositories and issued a new release, reducing the sun image to 256px in all packs that contain it (moon is similarly reduced, to 192 px). This might help your issue.

If that still doesn't work, scale the sun and moon down further. If that still doesn't help, just delete them entirely.

[Napiophelios]

Thank you VanessaE for such a quick fix :)
it works like a champ and you are correct,
I have an odd screen resolution (1024x600)

I will keep this in mind before reporting future glitches

[VanessaE]

No worries. It's not your screen resolution, rather might have been an internal limit of your video driver. Besides, with the angular size of the sun and moon, 256px is still slightly larger than their displayed size even on my 1600x1200 screen, so anything bigger just won't show more detail.

[Marshall_maz]

Must these textures be placed at server side or client side ? Or Both ?

[VanessaE]

Users need only install them on whatever clients want to use them. It is possible to install them on a server, but it is not recommended (the same holds true for most texture packs), owing to their size.

K thanx.

I tried the 128px on my Win 7 gaming pc last night. It's looks really great. Thank you for everyone's efforts who works
on this. I have always been very dissapointed with Mintest's performance on Win 7 as it could barely manage 40FPS on my strong GTX 760 card.
When I use your 128px pack though , it reaches 80 to 90fps. This was a pleasant surprise ! :) Not only does it look great , but it doubles the performance of minetest on my specific hardware :)

Only thing I noticed , it's only the default stuff that changed. None of the mods , even the ones listed seem to have the new textures.

Today gonna test them on my Ubuntu pc and see how Ubuntu handles the 128px.

Thank you for the great work ! ;)

EDIT: I can't get the Ubuntu version of minetest to see the texture packs.
in /usr/share/minetest/textures I created two folders. One for 64px and one for 128px.
I extracted the relevant zips into those two folders.
But when I open minetest and go to "texture packs" it doesn't see either one of them.

Anybody know how to install these textures on Ubuntu please ?
