FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I want to try to make a texture pack but have no idea how can someone help??

Under games\minetest_game\mods\default\textures it lists all the default textures that you will need to change in order to create a texture pack for the default game. You don't have to replace the files just put your new images under textures\all and it'll truncate the other ones.

I don't know if you're new with making images/pictures, new with minetest or new with both.

If new with both

Make a copy of your minetest directory (doesn't take much space). Don't forget to include the hidden files. Now you've a playing ground
Or make yourself a map/folder called something like "myfirsttexturepack" :-P

- open up your standard graphic/paint/image program on the computer.
- choose: open file and just pick one of the .png's from the default (see ashenk69 post)
- You can now change, erase or whatever the default .png into a picture you would like to have.
If you made a copy of minetest, just save (overwrite), if you made a map/folder, save it to that place.

- If you want to try out your textures, just start to play minetest
- if put into a map/folder, you can copy the .png-files (without the map/folder) to your the "all" map folder: --> /home/Topywo/celeron55-minetest-d38b465/textures/all. The ,png must be directly under "all", without their original "mother" folder/map

This is a very simplistic way to have quickly a texture-pack. A good way to find out if you like making texture packs.

Thanks this really help

Also, you can use the Realworld Cursor Editor to edit simple PNG files and keep transparency, something that MS-Paint lacks...and it's not just for mouse cursors...

with Realworld Cursor Editor can i make a red sword or sth else?
