Any intrest in texture/model updates? #651

Hi!

As the title suggests, i'm interested in potentially updating some of the textures/models for the mesecons mod. I think it's a really cool mod, but it feels like the textures look quite rough? (Take pistons as an example; buttons feel a bit big as well) It seems like ya'll might be completly happy with how the textures and models are rn, and if that's the case: let's keep 'em like they are:) But, if you feel like it, i could spend a couple of hours polishing/updating some textures and models, as i think such work to be fun:)

What are your thoughts on the matter?:)

i'm just another user and don't have control over design decisions for this mod. i agree that the textures and models could be much better. be aware, though, that any changes you introduce are likely to break someone's meticulously set up builds that depend the current state. i'd be interested in seeing your proposal and evaluating it, but again, i don't have any right to make a decision about it.

I agree; idealy the visuals would be refreshed a bit, while leaving functionalisy and behaviour the same:)

It is the refreshed visuals that break the build, because functional blocks can be used in builds solely for their textures.

Oooh! I was thinking of it from the "functional" perspecitve, rather then just apperance!

One thing i thought of, is that i could just make a texture pack for mesecons. That way there's no trade-of.
