Help texture pack install??

So it seems that if you installed the game disk before you installed the Texture Pack, it messes up. I uninstalled the texture pack and uninstalled the multiplayer disk. I then installed the texture pack and then installed the disk. While installing the
texture pack, there were no hiccups. The download did not stop, it flawlessly downloaded. I then installed the multiplayer disk back on my system. It seems this fixed the problem.

In Minecraft, your friends can't join a world that has a texture pack that they do not have installed. If you have a texture pack installed on your world, your friends will need to have the same texture pack installed for them to join and see the world with the same textures.

Should you install the disc to hard drive first? I installed the hd pack (went through without restarting) then later in the day I installed the disc to hard drive. will this affect the hd pack?

[/quote]When I tried to install in HD texture pack, it stopped and I had to restart it. Upon first glance the HD textures seemed to load. I used the testing method of looking at the Assault soldiers watch band which goes from dull to detailed with holes
and such. However, the detail seemed a little lacking. So I decided to investigate.

So, I deleted the HD texture pack and tried to reinstall it. Five times in a row, it stopped at about 15%. I had both discs installed to my HDD at the time. I deleted the first disc from the HDD so the HD texture pack would install from the disc. Viola,
on the first try the HD texture pack installed without stopping.

Did it help? YES!!! The detail doubled on the watch band. The HD texture pack partially works if it stops during the install.

Long story short. 1) If your HD texture pack stopped mid install, delete it from your HDD. 2) Uninstall disc 1 from your HDD. 3) Put disc 1 in and install the HD texture pack. 4) Install disc 1 to your HDD.

if disk2 is installed onto your HDD....uninstall it, and uninstall the 1.5g texture pack as well.....then insert disk2 (MP disk) and make sure you install the HD texture pack 1st before installing the disk itself....(I did it wrong the first time and it
wouldn't correctly install the texture pack because I installed the disk first...so it would stop spinning a few seconds after trying to install the HD texture pack)

Disk 1 is multiplayer and coop. This disk also contains the HD texture pack and will prompt you when you first boot up to install it. I personally installed disk 1, then the texture pack, day one patch, and played multiplayer for a few hours first. Then
later on when I wanted to try the single player, I installed disk 2. Disk 2 doesn't have an HD texture pack to install. Game looks amazing. Hope this helped answer your questions.
