[Solved] Ore Texture for Sphalerite in Gneiss does not show up

[Darmo 303]

Have you read, understood, and followed all of the rules listed in large text at the top of the support forum? Yes

TFC Version #: 0.79.20Forge Version #:  10.13.4.1448Single PlayerDescription: When mining for Sphalerite in Gneiss, there is no texture for the sphalerite ore.  I use WAILA so I can tell which blocks are ore by pointing at them, but otherwise they are indistinguishable. This seems to me like a bug.  I don't think it's a case of the ore color being 'too similar' to the underlying rock.  I've posted a screenshot showing what I'm talking about - the Gneiss-sphalerite is absolutely indistinguishable visually from the surrounding Gneiss.  I dug around and found both silver and graphite (My first ever TFC graphite!!!!) in the Gneiss, and they showed up fine.  I was going to try searching for similar setup in a new creative mode seed but the commands list is pretty overwhelming and I gave up. Edit: I was not able compare to other stone types as this is the only sphalerite I've found so far in this world (and at this rate all I'll ever need).

 

You can see the exact stuff I was mining by using world seed 1170649068548596996 and going to coordinates 1834, -9066.  Elevation 150 should put you above ground I think.  Top layer is conglomerate, but once you get through that there's at least two double-chests of rich sphalerite, so it shouldn't be hard to find.

 

 Have you deleted your config files or are using default configs and are still able to reproduce this bug? default configs Do you have any mods other than Forge and TFC installed? Yes, WAILA, Fastcraft, and Mapwriter.  I tried it without them and same result.

If you have Optifine or Cauldron installed, can you still reproduce the bug after uninstalling them?  Not using those mods

Here's the texture for Gneiss:

 

 

and here's the texture for Sphalerite:

 

 

and here's what it looks like when the Sphalerite texture is overlaid on the Gneiss texture, which is the same as what you would see in-game:

 

 

Edit: If you honestly think there is a bug that the ore texture overlay really isn't showing up, try installing a texture back like H3D or Block Heads that make all ores more visible regardless of stone type, and see if it shows up then. The render code is the same either way, so if it shows up for the texture pack, then it's showing up in vanilla and you just can't really tell the difference because they are so similar.

Wow, that is WAY harder to tell apart than any other stone/ore combo I've seen so far.  It looks like it's actually as intended, I just didn't realize how very subtle it was.  I'd suggest lightening the ore vein a bit or something, but then it's a new forum and they've got more important stuff, etc. Sorry to bug ya Kitty.
