IC2 Classic

[Speiger]

Could you add IC2 Classic Support? It can be combined with IC2 Exp in Textures (it uses the same folder but differend subfolders)

[Yulife]

We'll keep it in mind :D

[Speiger]

1 Upside. Texture Sprites. You do not have to do 5000 Icons. Its all in a couple texture sprites merged together (at least in classic) xD

[BBoldt]

Would probably be best to use the same textures that we use for IC2-exp, just "ported" to whatever file/image structure IC2-Classic has. Then we would just need to fill in the blanks for the extra content that IC2 Classic has.

[Speiger]

@BBoldt Yeah but exp changed they general style and classic kept the old one

[Yulife]

Sprites have downsides too, for example if you do not have all textures done you either need to fill in the not textured with blanks or ship the author's textures which may conflict with some licences :P But yea, sprites are nice

[Speiger]

yeah that is true. But on the other hand. As long you finish your work and make it a "none constant" state it should be fine (at least from my side)

[Yulife]

Just curious, IC2 Classic and Tech Reborn are completly different right? Because we started on Tech Reborn! :smile:

[BBoldt]

They are Yulife. Tech Reborn is a rewritten version of an old version of Gregtech. IC2 Classic is an updated version of pre-experimental IC2.

[Yulife]

Ahhh nice :)

[CyanideX]

@Speiger, you still looking to get those textures for IC2C? I'm just about done with IC2 so it wouldn't be too difficult to throw something together.

[Yulife]

Shouldn't it use them same texture? :p

[Speiger]

@CyanideX well it would be great if IC2C gets texture pack support... @Yulife well thats your choice but IC2Exp did start a new Art Style while classic tries to keep the old one... So if you find something that fits for both then i am fine with that.

[Yulife]

Hey @CyanideX once you get IC2 done I can take a look at IC2 Classic's sprites, just tell me once it's done

[Mattabase]

@CyanideX @Yulife Would super dig those IC2C textures <3

[CyanideX]

@Mattabase, I will see what I can do. It's only 1.7.10, right?

[Mattabase]

<3 Love you buddy! @CyanideX =P

[CyanideX]

@Mattabase, don't thank me yet. I may not get to it for a while. 😖

[CyanideX]

Sorry, can't do it @Mattabase. I would need @Speiger to make the bottom/top face rotate with the block in order for the textures to work properly. This retexture would be a basic copy/paste from my IC2 Unity because I simply don't have the time to make adjustments for this system.

[Speiger]

@CyanideX the problem is i would require my full renderring for that just making the stuff work. I am using the standart renderer.... hmmmm i didnt expect that you do side awarenes...

[Speiger]

@CyanideX ok i will try to come up with something. But might take a couple days...

[Speiger]

@CyanideX keep doing the work even rotation is not applying yet. I found some interesting code... That should fix that issue very fast... (Patch will come out soon) @Mattabase notify xD

[CyanideX]

@Speiger, I tend to get fancy with my textures. 😉 Thanks for looking into this.

[CyanideX]

It's coming along:

[Speiger]

Cool :3 i wonder how you do the jetpacks etc xD because they have no textures on Exps Side

[Speiger]

@CyanideX do you want to add animations? I can do a oneliner code which allows you to make animations to IC2Classic without using the sprite system while stay still compatible^^"

[CyanideX]

@Speiger, the jetpacks had textures but here are some of the items from my retexture:

I didn't do any animations aside from a few items so no need to worry about that.

[CyanideX]

Ok, @Speiger, I'm going to need some animations for a few items.

[CyanideX]

We're getting there:

Nothing a night of beer can't accomplish.

[Speiger]

Well I can't tell you where to put it now but, Leave the texture in the sprite that is going to be animated like it is. Make a separate file that is like vanilla Minecraft texture and do the animation there. Simply: The texture loader from class inject 2 paths into the texture. 1: the path of the sprite + coords. 2: a replacement path + name which loads if he finds the texture there. if the loader finds it there it disables classic loading kind and loads the texture normal like any vanilla mc texture. (Including mc meta files) I can tell you the name as soon as I am in my dev environment.

[Speiger]

@CyanideX well ok i did add the code for the Texture Replacing into my dev invioment (will be with the next release) So the Textures you want to replace with special Properties you need to place into this path: "ic2:textures/(blocks or items)/replacements/(SpriteID)X(XPosition)Y(YPosition).png" for example you want to replace a the Nightvision Goggles the file of the texture has to be called like this: "i2X2Y2.png" (its a weird name i know but thats the best system i came up with)

Now working on the Rotation part and last the Second Texture for the Nuke. Also here is a list of Sprite to ID:

"b0" = "ic2:textures/sprites/block_0.png"
"bc" = "ic2:textures/sprites/crops_0.png"
"bgen" = "ic2:textures/sprites/block_generator.png"
"bmach" = "ic2:textures/sprites/block_machine.png"
"bmach2" = "ic2:textures/sprites/block_machine2.png"
"bpersonal" = "ic2:textures/sprites/block_personal.png"
"bcable" = "ic2:textures/sprites/block_cable.png"
"belec" = "ic2:textures/sprites/block_electric.png"
"i0" = "ic2:textures/sprites/item_0.png"
"i1" = "ic2:textures/sprites/item_1.png"
"i2" = "ic2:textures/sprites/item_2.png"
"i3" = "ic2:textures/sprites/item_3.png"
"batBox" = "ic2:textures/sprites/Batbox.png"
"mfe" = "ic2:textures/sprites/MFE.png"
"mfsu" = "ic2:textures/sprites/MFSU.png"
"bBox" = "ic2:textures/sprites/BatteryBox.png"
"triggers" = "ic2:textures/sprites/bc_triggers.png"
"conv" = "ic2:textures/sprites/block_Converter.png"
"CPad" = "ic2:textures/sprites/block_pads.png"

[Speiger]

@CyanideX version is out. You find it on github... Version 1.2.1.2.3

[CyanideX]

Hey @Speiger, I downloaded the new version, created the replacements directory, adding the animation .png as well as the meta file, named it i3x3y1.png to target the overclocked heat vent, but it doesn't appear to do anything.

[Speiger]

@CyanideX i made a mistake... Its not ic2/textures/replacements. its ic2/replacements.

[Speiger]

it should not colide with ic2Exp at all.. So i think i can leave it like that^^"

[CyanideX]

@Speiger, moved them to ic2/replacements and it still doesn't seem to be working. 😖

[Speiger]

@CyanideX i make a hotfix for my derpiness...

[Speiger]

put them back to the ic2/textures/replacements

[Speiger]

found another bug with plugins so i can make a fast release.... Third today xD

[Speiger]

its now out @CyanideX

[Speiger]

https://github.com/TinyModularThings/IC2Classic/releases/tag/1.2.1.2.4.1

[Speiger]

As soon you say its ok i put it on curse....

[Speiger]

(dont want a forth release today xD

[CyanideX]

@Speiger, that's a lot of posts you've done! 😉 Maybe editing one post would be better.

Also, I tried the new version and the animations still don't seem to be working. I put them back into ic2/textures/replacements.

Edit: It also seems to be replacing the wrong item.

[Speiger]

i2X2Y2.png everything has to be typed big.

[CyanideX]

@Speiger:

Oops, I see it should be i3X2Y0. Still doesn't work though.

[Speiger]

@CyanideX could you join the IRC channel then i do not have to do releases.... (now its try and errors) (IC2-Classic is the channel)

[Yulife]

@Speiger you use JSONs? Also why the weird PNG names?

[Speiger]

@Yulife Nope. Why the weird name? Because thats how the Sprites are loaded. Its cutting the Textures into pieces ingame so that do not have to place 1k Textures into my folder... It makes replacing basic stuff very easy while keeping special stuff like animations in a special area and allow you to remove/edit them very easy.

[CyanideX]

@Speiger, I love working with sprite sheets because it allows me to make changes to all of the textures with a single adjustment layer instead doing them to 256 individual textures; however, the one downside is trying to figure out what the items are without seeing their filename. I found myself going in game trying to match the texture with some of the items/blocks to know what I should be drawing. :P

[Speiger]

hehehe xD
