Cervator said to fix "Magnetite (solid black)" add Galena, Cassiterite;

Magnetite
Galena
Cassiterite
and just for kicks I will add this one that was a leftover block I had
Jet ... might need to add something here
Sylvite
Halite
that is what I have for now ...... *color me gone to the block making board*

These have changed some of the red tagged items in the above graph to black tagged items. I do not know how they will look in the level as yet because I can't place them but will leave it to others to help me out there ( I could use feedback if you think they need changes of any kind ) ....
AlabasterBlack
SandRed
GravelBank
GravelBench
GravelPave
GravelPea
Peat
CreekRock
) ....
Yay for more blocks
You just reminded me to add your last batch of blocks, since that fixes up the few broken blocks. I'll have to get to the rest later
As for feedback on the first batch - yeah, Jet might need just a little more texture, maybe a little darker too. Magnetite looks rather dramatic with the strong colors and has a very solid edge/border, maybe blur that fellow up a bit. Rest I think are pretty good as is, maybe a slight bit of blur on Galena and Cassiterite, but I'll leave that up to you - should be able to check via the latest develop build in just a bit (remember to enable the mineral pack)

Whoops, just realized I used a local workspace pointed at my personal branch on GitHub, not MovingBlocks. I'll push it forward soon and grab the other blocks too.
Something went funny with Magnetite again, it looks like it is only 4x4 pixels now, although it still is 16x16
Jet probably went too textured now, hehe. It probably should be very smooth and only a few shades of black, just with a tiny bit of variety here and there. Sorry about being picky

No worriesSorry about being picky
you are allowed to be picky and that is the kind of feed back I need to know about. I will get them fixed my friend EDITED .... I just uploaded the new and improved 2 blocks back to the above post ....might be a little better now
i think portal block and ice should be transparent. Should they not? and portal block wavy. just make ice have some alpha.(like by using gimps eraser)
like it is explained here: http://forum.movingblocks.net/threads/modding-arc.429/#post-4147

Ice is already translucent, portal blocks could be too I just have been using them placeholder-style for testing/content without worrying too much about the look
Alpha stuff? Sounds fancy
We need new ice and portal textures anyway sometime so we can eventually migrate away from GMC

the deal is if you add "translucent" : true, in json file it makes that block transparent acording transparent areas in png.(areas that have more alpha than 0)
if you add "waving" : true, it will wave like grass does. whit "penetrable" : true, you make walktrougth blocks.
and ice seems to be transparent in all ways. and I can't find portal block

Portal block is in the portal mod
metouto - "alpha" is a property of textures/colors, like how much "red" there is in a color likewise there is an "alpha" counter. It can be used for transparency and other things, but I'm not very familiar with it myself
I don't actually know if "waving" works for non-billboard blocks, but I know there's a severe limit to how many blocks can be waving (we might be at that limit - even some of the plants are non-wavy). The reason for that is way too 3D wizardry for early morning thoughts
