for the Xmas event

Quote from Helie

hi Red51,for the Xmas event we are planning on our server (like for halloween) could it be possible to be able to make woodbeam etc in the snow texture that should be so awesome

What about for us kiwis over here it is summer so we don't want snow at Xmas lol

snow is texture id 8. You should be able to spawn woodbeams with this texture applied

nope not possible fox also hellstone and mud and some more of the terrain textures are not placeable on planks and beams (and logs etc.). If you try a number e.g. item woodplank 1 8 you get a woodplank that says it is ID 8 but the actual texture on it is the stone ID 21 texture

you can swap an unliked texture with any texture you like, but if someone has used it the swap will change there build oO

in fact use id 36 as its unused

ok i changed the block 36 to give it a new texture its sort of snow looking maybe you can test it out or upload a image you would like and i can make that work for you

to install use 7zip

goto your game folder something like Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RisingWorld\data\assets

open the textures.jar file with 7zip Note: dont unzip just open to view files, then click on the Constructions folder to open it
use 7zip to unzip the blockid36.zip file

then use your mouse to drag the two unzipped files into the Constructions folder, it should pop up asking you if you want to copy the files over, click yes
once the files are copied over restart your game.

Note always make a backup of your texture file before doing anything, this way if something goes wrong you can just copy your backup back over your stuffed up file lol

To spawn the new texture just type in the command panel item woodbeam 64 36 or item woodplank 64 36 ect ect you know the deal

So not possible? Thanks to all for your effort and advice.

@yahgiggle I know I can swap the textures if I want to but I would rather not mess with the texture files in a server where we have 10s of players play every day. If red could add the missing terrain textures (namely mud, snow, hellstone, sandstone, there must be 1-2 more I am forgetting atm) like he did for the grass, stone, etc. that would be great

Maybe @red51 could squeeze a fix for that in the next update. I remember now the spawn command is simply not applying that texture id for ground textures onto an object but I can't imagine it not being capable of having that texture.

he can simply add the textures like he did with the stone/grass/hoed land/dirt/etc. That is unless he has some other plan for those missing textures in mind

I wonder if Red51 could add more Christmas decorations to the mix on top of snow textured planks. Maybe asking too much right now that it may be better for \next year.

i think Red51 has enough on his plate, it must be so stressful developing a game when you have 100s of users wanting the next update now oO but i guess you never know what's going on behind the scenes

Yeah, thus why I said it the way I said it that it's probably a "next year" thing at this rate that I can wait. Yeah, it's that time of the month where Red51 mentioned the November release so I'll just simply focus on that while simply noting in a generic manner the desire for some Christmas decorations. If it doesn't happen, that's fine. I'd rather get what's promised instead.

once the java api is fully functional you will be able to add your own items/objects so more Christmas decorations will be no problem

Indeed. No problem tho. I think most of us maintain our own wish-list/bugfix-list for the game so I'll bring it up again sometime later when things are less hectic.
