A way to append/subtract files to existing texture packs

[uczpre]

Pretty self explanatory , i would LOVE to be able to add and remove music without screwing with existing music discs and having to learn the black proprietary magic that is minecraft's texture pack syntax/format. this is less dire than the existing issues with the generator of course.

Thanks for the input!

(I still need to figure out what's going on with your other issue)

To clarify: do you mean changing the vanilla records? Or overriding the seven default / included Fox Nap records?

[uczpre]

Foxnap's of course :) if i wanted to overwrite vanilla , ill just use regular texture packs ;D

I believe this is already the default behavior. I just tried running the executable on my system, and the track numbers started at 1 (meaning it overwrote the built-in tracks). If you're talking about selectively overwriting, you can do that using the command-line interface.

No lol :D

imagine a texture pack has been made , 3 files , A , B and C. heres how the executable assigns the numbers :

1. A
2. B
3. C

everything is fine , until i want to add a new file called D. i could manually edit the json and stuff to assign D number 4 , edit the n_disc , and yada yada yada.... which is really time consuming and a boring , if only i could have the exe do that for me.

i guess i could make a new texture pack.... OH NO!!!! It assigned it like this !

1. A
2. B
3. D
4. C

now all the music disc i have ingame that previously wouldve played C , now plays a remix of never gonna give you up !!! NOOOOOO !!!!!!!!

as you can see , this is very cringe. but still , the previous issue is more dire. this feature requestt is as dire as spawning jukeboxes in villages.

Take a look at the specs file system. You can create a spreadsheet in Excel and export as CSV / TSV to tell the resource pack generator which tracks should be assigned which numbers. If you want to leave gaps, you may need to pass in some additional command-line options.

Then, if there are specific textures you want to overwrite, just unzip the resource pack, replace those specific files, and re-zip.

I'm sorry there's not more documentation about the spec file functionality--after I implemented it I kinda realized it was overkill for 99% of users, and the remaining 1% would probably prefer to manually assemble or edit their own texture packs.

Anyway, feel free to try creating a spec file and ping me if you have questions.

Why Thank You ! But my suggestion is to be able to do this directly using the executable , perhaps using some kind of append option ? like how you would with archives files such as .7z ;D

[OpenBagTwo]

Pretty much every archive manager I can think of (FileRoller, Windows Explorer, etc.) supports dragging and dropping files into zip archives. At the very worst, you just have to unzip the archive, drop the files you want in, and then zip everything back up. Sorry, this is a #wontfix
