Convert MC resource/texture packs to Luanti!

by **sofar** » Fri Mar 25, 2016 08:16 Post

I've created a simple shell script that will convert all your MC resource and texture packs to Luanti Texture packs.

Download: https://github.com/minetest-tools/mcresconvert
License: X11
Dependencies: Zenity(optional, but highly recommended), ImageMagick
Platform: Linux (most likely won't support other platforms)
Usage:

Download this file: https://github.com/minetest-tools/mcres ... master.zip
Extract the file
Run the script that was extracted

To do this in a terminal, use these commands:

Code: Select all

wget https://github.com/minetest-tools/mcresconvert/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
mcresconvert-master/mcresconvert.sh

The converter has zenity based dialog windows guiding you through the process. You can either manually select a resource pack zip file, or have the converter automatically find installed resource packs from your Minecraft folders. It can also install the latest current MC release texture pack (the builtin one) for you!

You will need to have bash, ImageMagick, Zenity and unzip, to run the script. These are fairly standard on all Linux machines, but may be difficult to get for other OSes. The script checks beforehand whether you have the required programs.

After the conversion is done, the converter prints out all found MC texture and resource packs, and displays how well the conversion went, giving you an indication of how many of the Luanti blocks will be covered with new textures from this resource pack.

As of right now, it can convert about 400 textures from MC resource packs to Luanti. This covers almost all basic in-world blocks, and should be very pleasing to most players. If you spot a missing block, please ask in this forum thread or post an issue on GitHub.

Unlike other converters, this converter can handle chests, doors, grasses, leaves, fences, and even health hearts, breath bubbles, the hotbar textures, Sun, Moon and digging cracks! It also correctly converts any px size texture without issues, whether it's 16px or 256px! It even converts the default character skin!

Code: Select all

Example of a converted Texture Pack:

(As always, patches and fixes welcome in github!)

So which texture pack would you recommend?

Well, the converter gives a score to each texture pack. The higher the score the more likely that the texture pack looks better in the game, so we can look at the score to see which texture packs are going to look better by looking at the scores. I've made a quick list of the best texture packs by comparing scores for packs that I've converted, and the list looks like this:

Code: Select all

   Score     Px   Name
   [99%]     32px Crafteryadav0100
   [99%]     32px AD_Reforged_19_v1
   [99%]     16px mc-default-19
   [99%]     16px PixelPerfectionV33
   [99%]     16px LordTrilobitesNorsecraft19v1
   [98%]    128px PERSISTENCE
   [97%]    128px PureBDcraft128xMC19
   [97%]     32px Lodecraft-Survival-V017d
   [97%]     32px ElvelandLight_v163
   [97%]     32px Dtipack

Note: this is just the top 10 of the list. There are many many more that score well above 95%.

It works awesome, and DAAAANG it's fast :D
Thank you
Definitely much better using Zenity and having the step x step window

Excellent, glad to hear you got it working!

I didn't get it working.... YOU did :)
All I did was let you know how dumb I am :D
Thank you, this app (because not actually a mod, it is truly more of an application) is now 100% user friendly.

by **sofar** » Sun Apr 03, 2016 00:18 Post

I've brushed up a few minor things like sun/moon size, and inventory icons for torches.

by **sofar** » Sun Apr 03, 2016 05:28 Post

The code now also converts the basic GUI elements;

- Hotbar
- hearts, bubbles
- the default character skin!

I've fixed up omissions in: clay bricks, violet dye, signs, string, flour, TNT.

I've also made it generate a nice desert cobble based on the packs red sand color overlayed on the packs cobble stone.

Lots more little changes, and a big one:

Mcresconvert can now find and convert the *default MC 1.9 texture pack* !

if you have it installed, mcresconvert will find and convert the MC v1.9 builtin resource pack!

Other changes:

- steel ladder
- steel sign
- fix several wool colors
- base obsidian
- flint and steel fixed
- preliminary bronze and copper ingots and blocks. These are made by color composing.
- cactus fixes

Nice stuff.... I can't wait to try out the changes this weekend

by **sofar** » Sat Apr 09, 2016 16:42 Post

I've done a lot of recoding to make it more robust in the future, as well as make some tweaks to sun to make it look better, and add the waterlily. Cheers!

I'm intrested in how you did that. My mccompat mod doesn't handle grass and biome colors well and needs improvements in that regard.

MC texture packs contain two images that describe the foliage and leaf colors for the minecraft biome system. The grasses and leaves themselves are mostly gray, and are colored using the appropriate color from the biome color map.

Since we know roughly where the MC biomes are, we can pick points on the color maps and color the leaves and grasses with it. This is done using imagemagick and alpha compositing. The code should be easy to find in mcresconvert, since it just a shellscript:

The relevant code starts here: https://github.com/sofar/mcresconvert/b ... rt.sh#L270

Thanks. Helped a lot with a TP(based on another minecraft TP) that I was working on. Did the textures better than I did them.

I was gonna ask, I know you did one manually. Please don't be discouraged, though! Consider it a tool so that you can focus on the remaining issues that can't be done by a script ;)

Yes that's the one I am talking about(lbprtest) and it actually ended up texturing better than I did :)

gunvolt · by **gunvolt** » Sat Apr 16, 2016 23:10 Post

Also needed to mention - I have TPs that scored better than those you tested
Dokucraft Dwarven(1.8.7) - 100%
Chroma Hills x64 18_v12 - 99%
CreativeOne's Medieval v1451 - 100%
Soartex Invictus 21 - 99
John Smith LEGACY 189v1324 - 100%
Moray 32x 181_v38 - 100%
Minecraft HD x64 v1815 - 100%
Ovo's Rustic Redemption 13 - 100%
Ragecraft Faithful - 100%
Tyza's SimplySharp - 100%
Soartex Fanver - 99%
Wolfhound - 99%
And of course the default textures score at 99%

That was just the original list with MC packs that I had that were 2 years old... Most of the 1.9 packs out there score 97% or more. Just look at Fixer's list :)

Just something to note: During researching this bug, I found out that Zenity doesn't support 64-bit. (This is quite old; might've changed). If it does work, I'd be quite interested how it does work on 64-bit. (My Linux computers are all 32-bit)

On my system (archlinux) it's a 64bit binary:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/zenity: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64

So, I assume this was fixed upstream at some point in time.

Woo-hoo! This is great, having access to all the MC textures out there.

I actually imagined doing this, you know if my shell scripting skills were better and I wasn't such a lazy puke. I did think of Zenity and ImageMagik though. It's so fast I thought it was broken. :)

I can't get this to work. I run it, find a zip file manually, click ok, 'A texture pack folder with name "foo" already exists, overwrite?, click yes then...

line after line of this (different line numbers though):

./mcresconvert.sh: line 353: _n/_tot: No such file or directory

finally:

find: `_z': No such file or directory
cat: _n/_counter: No such file or directory
cat: _n/_tot: No such file or directory
./mcresconvert.sh: line 586: 100 * count / tot: division by 0 (error token is "tot")

And I'm left with a broken link in the next folder up from mcresconvert named: _n

I'm running Slackware 14.1 32 bit
imagemagick-6.8.6_10
zenity-3.16.2

P.S. I also created a ./minecraft/resourcepacks the program found it and got the same message.

[EDIT]

I created ~/.minetest/textures and got 1 to work. It finds the others (2) but fails to convert, It makes the folders which contain:

broken link: _n
screenshot.png
folder: _z

The folder _z contains all mc folders like armor, art, font, gui etc.

What resource pack are you attempting to convert? Do you have a link to the place you downloaded it from?

necron099 · by **necron099** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 13:15 Post

Sofar,

From fixerol's post:

21st Century-Craft v8.zip http://www.planetminecraft.com/texture_ ... ury-craft/
DefaultPro-15-v2.zip http://www.planetminecraft.com/texture_pack/defaultpro/
PixelPerfectionv2.4.5-1.9.zip http://www.planetminecraft.com/texture_ ... erfection/

From my son's collection:

DragonDance-1.5.zip
Iron Man 3.zip
Soartex_Fanver.zip ?

Pixel Perfection was the only one that worked for me. I would post the URL for the others, but I'm not 100% certain where they came from (planetminecraft maybe) ?

[Edit]
I was playing around with this and found out it doesn't have a problem with 1.9.x version packs. The others that I tried were made for 1.5.x to 1.8.x versions

Tigerlore · by **Tigerlore** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 20:54 Post

I'm not sure the scoring system is right.

I converted one texture pack and got, iirc, 405/415 for 98% and another texture pack was 405/438 for 94%.

Seems to me the 405 number is the one that matters and, hypothetically, a pack could get 405/405 for 100% but still not actually be any better than the two packs I already converted.
