[NEW Gold resource texture]

[Coldfusionstorm]

UPDATE: The texture now works. AND looks perfectly! Download high res textures for your pleasure! .

This is a new improved texture file for the gold resource. It is free for use and it follows the same license as MG. So get it into the repo already XD

in windows all you do is plop it down here MegaGlest\techs\megapack\resources\gold\models
and replace the old one, And voila, You now have an awesome looking mining node.

Really? :S, Nobody likes it enough to even comment on it? :S

In the preview: is the "green" part the teamcolor? Just asking.

Looks good; how about stone and the resources in the Stranded and Island Survival scenarios (like iron)? Will you be giving them high-quality textures too?

Nope, It's grass (wich is also on the old texture, i retextured it almost identical over the old texture), aka i didn't change the texture mapping from the old stone,

If enough people like this i might consider doing the stone and (iron?), i wasn't aware iron was even a thing , This actually took quite a bit longer than i had anticipated, and over 70+ layers in gimp.

So it definitely depends on how many likes it or if it goes into the official MG repo.

can you show ingame screenshots too ( before/after ) so people can see . ( late reply because I am still a bit  in vacation mode.)

Update: about the green grass on bottom, this will not fit in all tilesets. Better remove it.

[Coldfusionstorm]

Don't worry titi , Keep it vacationated as long as possible  .

PS. i updated the OP with ingame images. Looks quite good if i say so myself!

[GunChleoc]

Yep, looks much better

[titi]

yes, but as i said the grass on the bottom will not fit in desert tileset for example

I initially kinda agreed with you. But, Take a look at these screenshots, They are from tileset Dessert2.

I honestly think it still looks good, But if you still want me to, i can remove it.

looks bad 

[Coldfusionstorm]

looks bad 

The tongue confuses me, Do you really think it still looks bad? il change it then.
Putting up a new one later without the green then.

[GunChleoc]

The green is definitely too lush for the desert terrain, so without would indeed be better.

[jammyjamjamman]

Thumbs up for working on improving the texture  ! However, I think I agree with others the grass is too lush for certain tilesets (would be nice if different tilesets had different looking *mineables*).

Also, something interesting you could try is using an unshaded texture for the gold pieces in the rock (to make them shine/ glow but needs to be done in blender).
