Or maybe i am content (and feel nostalgic) about the 8 bit blocky graphics?
But ye, i understand that some don't like it. It just bores me so much to read "my HD texture patcher" makes stuff invisible plz halp.
It's your prerogative to like the default textures - just as it's ours to dislike them. Personally, it's hard on my eyes. But the real issue here isn't the texture packs - it's that, even when properly modified, the HD textures aren't showing up as they should.
Trust me on this one, I've done a lot of investigation into it. I've custom-built many HD textures for the pack I use and so far, these pipes are the only ones that have any display issues. That would indicate that there's something in the underlying code, either in BC itself or in the way these two add-ons use it. I suspect it has something to do with the changes SpaceToad made to pipes somewhere along the line, but that's just speculation. I'm not a programmer, but I'm more than capable of constructing functional texture packs.
