Learn GregTech HQM Pack (In Progress) 1.6.4.

[Ieldra]

My experience with machines and voltage is that this only becomes a problem when machine setups become complicated. Within IC, I've never lost a machine to this kind of problem until my cables started connecting where I didn't want them to, and I couldn't easily avoid this since I can paint cables only if they're already placed. I don't know how GT is different from IC in this, but I think given a warning in big enough letters, this should not put players off. And who builds electric machines out in the rain anyway? That's just stupid.

Anyway, this is an intrinsic part of IC2/GT, and IMO should not be turned off in a pack about learning GT. I'd rather give out the info "If you don't want this, turn it off in the config."

People that are lazy enough to not build a proper house like me. I've blown machines twice on kirara 2.0 (GT hardmode server) because i forgot the roof

I wish greg were online at those times so he could yell at me before it rained.

Love it when Greg comes on and: "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!?!?"

Really desperate for someone to make a pack icon and splash at this point. Please! Anyone!
If you can help respond as soon as possible.

I can, but it would have to be tomorrow, sorry. Make a placeholder one instead.

EDIT: What sizes do you need and what should be on them?

42x42 icon with the Gregtech symbol. And a 420 x 200 Icon with a HQM book in the center and a Gregtech Symbol around that.

Sounds good. I will try to get it done the best I can tomorrow.

No you said exited when you meant excited [DOUBLEPOST=1405311331][/DOUBLEPOST]Also
NEWS: Everything is ready for this pack to be launched as a third-party pack on the FTB Launcher. I just need the 2 images from @Queue (no rush the soonest the pack can be posted is Thursday by FTB Third-Party Pack team). Also, do note the quests are not complete yet. Do not worry though by the time you will get their they will be long completed, I just wanted to start you out. As well expect many updates and do know the FTB third-party team checks to update on Thursdays and Fridays and no other days. So those are "update days".

Someone actually finishing a pack they have promised to make?
Today is a good day. (Thursday might be pretty awesome as well)

Artwork time. I am no BigBad, or even a decent pixel artist, but I will do my best. And if its due Wednesday or Thursday, that will give more time for revisions

First iteration. Obviously the logos are placeholders and not my work. It is just a test to see how the background looks with different things on top:

Should I go with this style or would you like something a bit different? I may use the HQM book rather than a shroom

Oh, it's looking nice. Sparse, dark, and it's got that "GT theme" look stamped on it. The only suggestion for it from me would be:
The opacity makes the background too dim. I had to squint to understand was was in the background. Brighten the the texture layer and/or increase the transparency.


@CarbonBasedGhost,
So, Have you configured the machines to blow up now?

 

[Queue]

Thanks @AlCapella! I think that the background needs to be soft otherwise it gets too noisy, but anyhow my second iteration has the opacity turned up to 81% rather than 51%. I may switch it back. The GT logo and the wrench are mine this time, not the shroom though. Can't find a good picture of the HQM book

EDIT: Some more Tweaking:

EDIT #2: Is the text too much? I think I need to simplify it.

EDIT #3: Here is the background back to 51%:

@Queue,

The first image gets my vote. Frankly I like the contrast the way it is on that image. Everything is comprehensible and it all still blends together as a unified image.

The other two get too busy/noisy due to text/image ratio becoming too large.

Want to look at antique atlas mod images? His licence is permissive, and maybe if we ask him nicely, he might say "okay". Else look into deviantart for some CC licenced scroll type images... Last resort, take one of the images OP uploaded, and embed the quest tree bit for the "HQM" bit shroom looks a bit silly there.

EDIT: Retain your logos for final image!
EDIT 2: Can you make that wrench faithful32 FTB resolution please?

Thanks! I think I need to keep the text, but in a far simpler manner. Think of the attatched image below as iOS 7/Android L/Windows 8 for the text on the top and iOS 6/Current Android/Windows 7 for the bottom text:

Which one is better? Should they both be the top font, bottom font or should they stay separate fonts? (Note, I will look into the wrench, and the HQM book is temporary.)

EDIT: Cleaner fonts all around:
