Formatting question

[woodgoldtwo]

how are you supposed to format the packs exactly? the readme linked on the modpage doesn't specify it

are the textures supposed to be placed in packname.zip/resources/ or packname.zip/ or somewhere else??

is the pack.json mandatory?

can you even edit vanilla textures??

the readme really isn't that useful

[woodgoldtwo]

sorry if that came off as a bit harsh, things like this just really frustrate me

[Alphalaneous]

While either way works, the read me does say: “Make sure to put the files are the root of the zip! otherwise Texture Loader might not find them properly.”

[Alphalaneous]

Pack.json isn’t mandatory, but is good if you want extra pack metadata to be shown

[woodgoldtwo]

the reason I asked is because I did put the textures directly in packname.zip and it didn't work

[woodgoldtwo]

While either way works, the read me does say: “Make sure to put the files are the root of the zip! otherwise Texture Loader might not find them properly.”

I'm not even sure if that sentence is even gramatically correct and even if it is I don't understand what it means

[woodgoldtwo]

and now my game crashed when I hit the apply button

The example pack edits both mod textures and vanilla textures. the vanilla texture edited is GJ_gradientBG-hd.png and it is placed at the root of the zip, with the exact same file name as the texture its replacing.

where and/or what is the root of the zip, it's that part that I don't understand

the root of the zip is the very directory shown when you open the zip file 👍

I've already tried putting the textures there but it didn't work

[woodgoldtwo]

pack.zip here's the pack I'm trying to use, maybe this helps?

[HenrySck075]
