This is the final draft, because honestly i'm done working on it. The ending did not make me happy at all.
You all have a wonderful day... and stop rushing people when they are working on stuff.
Thanks for the message Skarra.
For your information, I have almost single-handedly been working texturing mods apart of All The Mods 9. This modpack is version 1.20. The BDCraft modding community is small and unfortunately it is what it is. However, from time-to-time other people release something. This includes yourself, Llama Farmer, Trick6, etc. This makes me - someone who puts in a lot of work - very happy. It takes work off my shoulders and provides more textures for fans of BDCraft.
Skarra, as I said in my previous message, I really like your work. You did a great job on your textures of 1.19 of Ad Astra. One caveat of your release was not wanting to update the patch to 1.20 (As you don't play it, and in your eyes, the textures would all change). My 'self-inflicted job' in its entirety is to update mods to 1.20 insofar that there are the least number of default textures in-game. Since I received no message and you made no such announcement on the Discord or on this thread for a potential update, how could I possibly know or ought to have known that such update would arise from you.
It's not that I want to takeover your work; on the contrary. I prefer when other people texture because it means I have more time to do other mods! Moreover, unfortunately artists sometimes poke their heads in and release WIPs (Ars Nouveau to name one) but disappear. This means that quite often mods are left barely touched for eons. Because of this, the active members of the community often have to step-up and takeover. Even I have done this in Twilight Forest.
I like your textures. I reasonably believed you would not update them to 1.20. I am not rushing you, I am merely helping you by updating. this is a modding
community - we work together. If you want total control of the thread, please let us know, I am sure we will all be happy to oblige.
Incidentally, I am not a paid member of the BDCraft team, I am merely a helper and patch creator. The BDCraft team cannot possibly be to blame, HanFox has given me autonomy in the mod patches area - and so I can be deemed fully responsible.
What would you personally like to achieve from here? I am more than happy to update the 1.20 patch to include more of your own textures.
Cheers,
PlatinumPunch
I don't have a problem with you updating a pack.
I have a problem with the fact people can just jump on WIP packs, and make content for them, while the original WIP Creator was in the middle of updating them, and the patch was still in WIP.
If the patch was released/finished. I Probably wouldn't have cared. Since it woulda been done. But due to the 1.20 update basically pushing this into released with textures i hadn't even seen yet. My entire WIP pack was basically cancelled.
If it had been a year or more... I understand finishing a WIP pack. But it hasn't been.
While you also pushed it into released, you changed textures such as the Fuel Tank that i spent time crafting together with images and baseing it off the actual mod. I don't change textures when working on WIP packs, i only push a update onto the comment section with fixed objects... such as My Mekanism Energy Cell Fix for Mekanism. But i don't overwrite the page itself. I leave it in the comments for the actual WIP mod creator to see and use, or the BDCraft team to publish on the WIP Mod Page.
The Ad Astra team wasn't going to use the old Blocks and Models as far as i was aware. This is why i kept saying they weren't going to be using the textures.
As far as i was aware at the time, Ad Astra wasn't being put on 1.20. In comment sections i litterly wrote that they are redoing the mod, i had no idea at all... they even made a 1.20 version of the mod.
I don't use discord... half the time, and even if i did, you never msged me personally asking me about it... be like hey can i work on this? Etc? No comment on this comment forum even asking hey can i work on this? I got no msg whatsoever except a random email that said you had just pushed the thing into released on my gmail notification of the patch.
Either way, this has made me not want to even make new packs public that i work on for PureBDCraft. It has serisouly made me question why did i make a pack, when someone was just going to take it over while... in progress...
Like i said, i'm done working on it. Someone do whatever they want with it. if you wanna push it to 1.20 or 1.21 or beyond feel free.
Most of the assets were custom built using Paint 3D, the others were used by Galaticraft, PureBDCraft 1.19.2 Pack.
