Homebrew Minecraft DS (in 3D !)

Sorry if this has been asked, but how do you make your own texture packs.

 

[Ray =D]

Here's mine

2 Towers, one house, a bar and a pool

Cool! Thanks!
Wait for some reason 1 of the towers is cut off the edge of the map and the house too!?

What? Cut off? Please make a screen...

Well now that people have noticed it, I might as well say it : I have the same problem, it's been there for like a month and I haven't managed to track it down yet; basically, the map is read differently on FAT16 and FAT32 cards; which changes where the limits are. So don't worry, I'm working on it, it WILL definitely be fixed, but it might take some time; a lot of tests are involved in fixing this.

Good news though is that once the problem is fixed, maps will actually be slightly bigger than they are now (right now they're cut off, some of the data is never accessible)

I did have a look at your pool though ray, and it's really cool, it looks really great on eldpack

Thank you

Cant wait for next beta

Just to remind everyone that, the're will be a website (made by lucasade) exclusively for sharing maps, texture packs, images and videos. It will also feature a chat room so that everyone can talk about the game. I'm helping lucasade and we hope that by the end of this week the website will be online and ready for you guys....

Just a quick post to say that I had a sudden revelation while trying to sleep... so I got up, arranged my code and there we have it, now maps are a lot faster to load : big.map takes less than 10 seconds on a FAT32 setup with 2048 byte clusters ! It should be even faster on FAT16 setups. For comparision's sake, it used to take over a minute to load this map, so this is awesome.

I do feel like an idiot for releasing yesterday's version now though.

Wait what? why can you change your custom title D=

You know... I just had a thought. Couldn't you technically make DSCraft local multiplayer? I've never seen a DS homebrew with local wifi multiplayer before. Anyone know why? Because that would work great with DSCraft.

Don't forget the DS has limits, but I bet DSCraft already pushes it.
Making local multi a problem.

local ds multiplayer is dubbed "nifi", google it up. there are a few emus that use it, including coppers’ 1943 and snow bros., nesds, etc.

it has many bugs. i once read a comment by wintermute (devkit, ndslib fame) where he said it can cancel out wifi signals from some routers.

What texture pack is this

 

[kevan]

Can't tell you exactly what it is but just search basic texture packs for minecraft into google.
It might pop up.

 

[Sir_Voe]

What texture pack is this

"Visibility". I believe it's included with the DScraft download.

So, i've decided to "run away" a little bit from all that crafting excitement and i made two wallpapers, let's just say that they are.....different

You can get them here: http://www.4shared.com/file/qd7tqFlP/Dscrftwlls.html?

To Anyone,Why is it no one uses n5? i have been using since release and i have only had 2 beacuse i lost the first one and the secound one works fine....Could be because of the bad reputation for bricking that it has - or that other, more stable cards came out (I have a N5 lying around somewhere that still works - can't check as I'm in work ATM)

Just to remind everyone that, the're will be a website (made by lucasade) exclusively for sharing maps, texture packs, images and videos. ..... we hope that by the end of this week the website will be online and ready for you guys....Glad to hear that - I was gonna post asking how it's coming along... only problem is I just can't decide on what to build

Just a quick post to say that I had a sudden revelation while trying to sleep... so I got up, arranged my code and there we have it, now maps are a lot faster to load.....

Well done,

I didn't think it was THAT bad on loading (only the saving seemed a little too long - especially on the 168x168 flat plane map I did... guess that's because of all the stuff I had to delete to get it

)

Perhaps you felt pressurized by people keep on asking for the release... don't feel bad about it - IIRC other homebrew like Moonshell or DSOrganize was buggy as hell on their first release.
Yes there are a few bugs/quirks - some that we can live with for now (e.g screen corruption/'invisible' blocks etc)... but it IS the first release

Just think... you've only been developing it for ~5weeks (on-&-off I would guess in your spare time), using only an emulator for testing (I believe) and only had a limited number of Beta testers to test on actual flashcards (I think I saw '10' was mentioned somewhere).. so the first version is bound to have teething problems at the start

Not all software can be 100% working/bug free on first release.......Things can only get better from now on

wow, kudos to smealum for this shiny little gem.

if not for my horrible download speeds, i would've gotten this a while ago and would've been busy recreating my neighborhood with it (well, an attempt at least).

props to you man, and mad respects. here's to seeing your polished gem eventually.

why do i get white screens?

 

[CannonFoddr]

why do i get white screens?More info required ... it always helps us know what MIGHT be the problem

WHICH version of DSCraft are you trying to use ? - there's 2 versions 'NitroFX and 'Fat'- if one don't work, try the other
WHAT flashcard are you trying to run it on ? - Some cards have problems running this
Have you got the right files in the right places ? - See the Wiki for details

EDIT: smealum has suggested the following
QUOTETo everyone experiencing white screen issues etc. at boot : try using the FAT only version (and don't forget to place the dscraft directory at the root of your card !); you can get it here : http://smealum.net/dscraft/downloads/DScraft_fat.rar

Seems like many R4 owners have this problem... are you using an R4 ??
