Texturepacks, Optifine and Forge

[Sphinx2k]

Hello,
I would like to hear how other handle playing with texture packs and forge mods?
My problem is i like to be up to date with the mods but mostly i'll have to wait for optifine to get updated with a new enough forge version.

Are there any other tricks to get texture packs working without the need of optifine? Btw. looking forward for the vanilla hd texture pack support.

Use OptiFine D3 with the current version of the pack,I tryied,and works perfectly trust me!

Forge actually has built in support for HD Textures, so you don't need Optifine at all. Optifine is mostly used to improve performance rather than for texture packs.

Well, almost. Custom lava and water won't work without Optifine. Nor will a few other tricks.

Custom colors, custom fonts, animated water/lava, animated blocks/items, connected textures, randomized blocks, and 256x and above texture support is exclusive to optifine and mcpatcher. So to me, I'd say optifine is required. I can't stand the vanilla minecraft font.

Don't forget better skies!

The fonts do already work. Using the faithful textures here without optifine and it works really well

Well yeah, faithful us the same font as regular minecraft.

I don't think they do, they seem really different...
