I have a page. Yay. Orthotope


 * Grats on your page glad to know it wasn't just me. I didn't really want to have to bug more about a texture pack however Minecraft forums was no help. I hope this wont be to much info but here is my situation.

I had windows vista 32 bit with 32mb graphics card i had searched for a texture pack that would help me run the game better. like smooth 1 or 2 color blocks. I should have known better but quickly learned this would not work. I went and got a new pc that has windows 7 64 bit and a better graphics card. I also put on 64 bit java so now both 32 and 64 bit java on this pc.

After talking with you last and not getting help in forums I decided to edit my own armor. I was able to do some item editing on my old pc on the smooth graphics texture pack which worked. I followed all the same steps, extracted my minecraft jar file, deleted the the .class files. Went about editing my armor. Took care to save in same file type 32 bit .png same pixel size 64x32. Checked the file names and so on. Couldn't get it to work.

I ended up taking the texture pack from the old pc and inserting the armor file into that. armor still wouldn't show up on my current game. I tried someone else's pack. "Sphax PureBDCraft 16x16" tried extracting out just his armor putting it in a freshly extracted minecraft jar with the .class deleted. Didn't work, noticed those files were 128x64 so i re-sized and so forth still didn't work. The texture packs alone work but not the armor. Not sure if they have to stay in a 8 color depth cause it may be at 16 :/

All I want is a texture pack for my armor and possibly weapons. 16x16 cause that's what I am running and don't really want to have to use a mod just to have 32x32 or better. I like medieval rpg feelish. If you happen to see that Sphax PureBDCraft i like that armor a lot just that pack that's supposed to be in 16x16 is 32x32 and also mods the game.

I sincerely apologize if this way way to much info or you didn't want to deal with this. Didn't mean to take up your whole talk page either, used the spaces cause my friends have a hard time following my conversations so feel free to delete this. Thanks and much appreciation for any help you can provide. --BornAProphet 08:23, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * If you want to use just the armor and items from PureBDCraft, here's a way to do it: Download the 16x pack. Open the zip file and delete everything but the 'gui' and 'armor' folders. Delete everything in 'gui' except for 'items.png' (optionally edit this if you want to keep the original look of items other than weapons/armor). Delete everything in 'armor' except for the cloth/gold/iron/diamond/chain files. Put this reduced zip file in your '.minecraft/texturepacks' folder. Start Minecraft and remember to switch to your new texture pack. That should do it; let me know how it works out. -- Orthotope 23:05, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

You must have downloaded it to see the files, I appreciate the effort. I got a reply late last night after writing you about "EldPack's Armour" it was a whole texture pack. If I don't get the PurePDCraft to work I will use the other one. The bad part is PurePDCrafts armor files are 128x64 instead of the standard 64x32 and they are in 32 color depth instead of 8. If psp doesn't work to edit them I will try to do what you said to EldPack. The armor isn't as cool but it all set to work. even if the armor extraction don't work its close enough to the original game i can just use the whole pack. Thanks again for all the help, if you ever need anything drop me a message bornaprophet@gmail.com --BornAProphet 01:22, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
