[512x - 32x] Archimedes' Ships [MC1.6 - 1.7]

[SirWill]

I have both the base and the unleashed packs for 1.5.2 from the main site. I looked through the whole of the zip file and found no assets folder. I have tried putting the archimedes folder in the mods folder and that did not work. The guid for patching doesnt say how to downgrade a 1.6.X or higher pack to a 1.5.2 or lower pack sadly.

So you have tried to place the folder which is in the assets folder under sphax.zip/mods and in spax.zip/ ? Both is not working?

@Chrono All patch versions below MC1.6 will not have the assets folder. The assets folder standardization happened on the release of MC1.6. If you want to port a 1.6 patch to 1.5, you'll need to take a look inside the mod jar/zip and mimic the file structure there.

I understand that I need to do this, what I don't understand is how I would go about this. I'm not very computer smart, I do well enough to get by modding my server and keeping it from exploding.

Extract the archimedes ships textures and open your current texture pack with winrar. Then put the archimedes folder in the mods folder of the texture pack.

@SirWilli That is not the proper way to patch textures.

@Chrono Here's what it looks like inside the mod archive:


What you're going to do is create the folder structure as below, somewhere on your computer:

Code: Select all

textures/blocks

You're going to make note of the image names below:


Lastly, you're going to copy over the textures from the 1.6 patch, into the textures/blocks folder you created and rename the files to match the ones above. If they're already named correctly, then you're good to go.

Now all you have to do is drag the textures folder you've been working with, into the base PureBDCraft archive.

Oh, sorry. I thought that should work as It worked for me the other way around.

[Aedaeum]

@SirWilli Just because it works, doesn't mean it's the proper way to do it. You should always avoid editing anything inside the mod jar/zip. HD textures should always be applied via the texture selection process.

Oh, you misunderstood me. I don't mean to edit the mod. I mean to put the archimedes folder in the mods folder which is in the unleashed patch + default pack.

[Aedaeum]

@SirWilli Ah, ok. You don't need the whole folder, you only need the textures directory with the proper file structure intact.

I'm running 1.7.2, and this texture pack isn't showing up in the Available Resource Packs list.

Were you expecting a patch for 1.6 to work like 1.7?
They're not compatible.
