I think the doors textures for the steel and wooden door look to simple compared with the rest of the textures in the game. For that reason, I made these textures and ask if such could be implemented in the game.




Since this topic inquires a change in the game, which it needs to be discussed before doing so, I placed it here on General Discussion.
Somebody thinks that the doors textures should be changed too?

Cool Wooden Door.
I think the door should have a update. since old one somewhat great for 8x8 or some sort.
But yeah I think we should have a new texture. been a long time with we had.

I like those soooo much better. In fact, that is part of the reason behind my variator modpack. There are 3 variations of the door that I added.

Your wooden door texture is very interresting :)

Thanks guys. I wonder that if things like these can be done with "pull requests" that I hear often. If so, anyone could help me with that?

[philipbenr]

You fork minetest and then replace the door texture. Then, you go to the pull request section and (I don't really know from here) Open a new pull request. I think that GitHub gives you good enough walkthrough of this

Maybe this texture, is too much like the wood, and it will look weird :$
But, nice texture, i like it tough

[Krock]

Looks good, what's the license of it?

Thank you.
Your textures are actually better than the old.

[Jordach]

My only problem with this is that you have Norton.

Door is fine, will probably make similar look-alikes for BFD.

I really dont like the texture for the steel door. The problem is that weird frame.

No problem, I could make it smoother...but I don't know how to apply the change to the pull request.

Nice door textures. The default ones are a bit boring. Good doors can improve the look of buildings immensly. In general, texture changes are problematic. In this special case, I think that a new texture will work well and improve buildings, not break them (as the new cobble texture did when stonebricks became another node).

[Esteban]

*BUMB*

Due to high demand, I fixed the door textures I made:




Please tell me if these are fine and what to fix if necessary.

[Don]

Nice work. Hope they get put into the default.

I think that Minetest should also have private doors. Ones that you can't see through. That way, if something special is going on behind a door that you don't own, you can't directly tell. Or if you don't want people to see some things that are your own, then just put the steel privacy door down and they can't see. Wood privacy doors might also be nice because people then might not look in and have the temptation to "do something" to your home.

Just a suggestion. Also, they don't look very appealing stacked up two high if there are windows in the door.

What would that be good for? What *might* be going on in a Minetest world that might be worth hiding? There's always singleplayer....

[philipbenr]

I mean like special chests and mese and the likes. People would see it and be tempted to enter and take whatever they pleased. Also, as I said earlier, double stacked doors with the windows in them don't look too good.

Edit: Sort of like voxelgarden. You have the option to have windows in them, or you can just have them plain.

[Esteban]

Are the textures nice? I really want to know if they look good so I can update the pull request...

[Don]

I like them both except for the dark grey around the steel door.

Okay, I will make it less dark.
It's purpose was to make the door distinguishable if placed in a building made out of steel blocks

[philipbenr]

I agree with Don. It looks pretty good.

[Esteban]

Left: Original
Right: Improved


This should be how the final product will look like.

*I will edit this post when I get screenshots and download with textures!*

[Esteban]

Textures look dark in-game. The brightness effect doesn't work well, so ill have to do them again -.-

[Don]

The steel door looks good. I am happy now. Great work!

Your doors are currently perfect. Do not listen the known tasteless people.

Your faithful steel door is more or less very close to the tone of the steel block. The wooden door, as darker than the wooden planks, make fine a good contrast in the overall view of a wooden house, which is the most common building in Minetest.

Though, the real wooden doors are always painted and/or heavily coated, often in dark brown-ish color for the entry. They're not in raw wooden planks.

Thanks guys! I checked the editor I use and the sprites can't go any brighter or it looks ugly. I think the new steel block texture is much darker that the old ones. Thus, the door looks darker than the first one that I did.
