Federelli's Retexture Pack for Zelda OOT and MQ

[Federelli]

I may get other great texture artists to join :). I'll keep you updated.

[Djipi]

I like to contribute to your project nut i don't know how make my files here and how can i take a shot to put here???

[Federelli]

If we can't communicate, i think it's gonna be quite hard for you to contribuete :(.
Try writing in proper english or spanish.

To upload files to the forum, go to "manage attachents".
And if you don't know how to take a screenshot, i highly doubt you'll be able to help me at all.
Thanks anyway.

[spork9]

hit prt Scr on your keyboard to take a screen shot than right clixk and paste it into your prog. of choice

[Rice]

hm.., why not use the screen shot feature in the emulator? For 1964, press F12.

[Konami]

yo Amon_Knives. We have a similer graphics card.. Can you just PM me with what drivers you have installed, what settings and what render you use for the high res (settings aswell etc)and what emulator you use..

(zelda)

[TallgeeseIII]

lol, love that answer federelli, anyway, here's a demonstration of my "abilities" although i can't make everything look this good (or bad, your call)

the bushes i could take or leave but i'm especially proud of that shield, i amazed even myself with that, all it needs is rivets and a good backside and it'll be ready.

OMFG !!! :bouncy: nice nice !!!! :D

[TallgeeseIII]

haha. thank you, i'm working on the quest status screen now

[guruguru-]

haha. thank you, i'm working on the quest status screen now

When you were enabling the download?

This one very very good;) I congratulation

[Amon_Knives]

:o Ok, that's amazing...I haven't been working on anything recently, things are beginning to get complicating, and I'm only a beginner at photoshop while everyone else is using paintshop. Oh well, I'll keep trying.

EDIT #1: I found a fairly good website that has things that can be used for realistic textured environments...still, I prefer to take the pictures myself.
here it is (http://www.mayang.com/textures/index.htm)

[TallgeeseIII]

i dunno, i guess when i finish the other side too

[KMan]

Nice shield. I made this a few days ago myself. Hadn't done much since then because of the new plugin. Had to start over with my dumping. You can see that I didn't even get a chance to check it in game as those rivets aren't all lined up properly. I'll see what I can do about getting a pack out by the end of this week. I've got some at my work pc as well as my home one, so I need to put them all together. :S

[TallgeeseIII]

*blink*

... welp, i lose....

ah well, i did my best, here's what i got done for the quest status screen.

[Amon_Knives]

*blink*

... welp, i lose....

ah well, i did my best, here's what i got done for the quest status screen.

Um...yeah...going 1v1 with KMan isn't a very smart thing to do. Still good try on the shield and excellent work on the medallions. KMan, AWSOME sheild, once its lined up it will look perfect. I've decided, unless I see something I really want to do in my dumps, I'm done with my work, I've already posted my water and grass textures, so that's enough from me for now. I'll just leave it to the people that are better at it like Fed and KMan and some of the others (TallgeeseIII, Kerber2k, and _pm_(from a differant game)). But if you ever need any png files worked on that you think I might be able to do, just email me. My Email (knives729@sbcglobal.net)
My hat's off to everybody on this project and it's great...um...founders. I'll still be on this thread, but I won't try anything unless requested. Keep it up guys!

wow amazing!

don't stop working :happy:

[Konami]

um, why does it take ages to show the status screen and links body looks messed up (One the page with your sheild, tunics etc)

also when i change res to the 1024 one it has lines and stuff, but the 900 by something is ok..

[Federelli]

TallgeeseIII, i must say i do like Kman's better, but that doesn't mean you should stop working on it. Perhaps weather it a bit more, and get the colors right, giving it a more cartoonish look. I do love those medallions and would love to include them on my pack. Also make the ones on the title screen and whichever other you may find. Great work

Kman, as usual, that's stunning :).

Amon_Knives, wanna give the main title screen a try? Like the Yes, End, Quit, Options, File 1, File 2, File 3 things. Notice that this style of beveling and texture is also used for dungeons to indicate Levels. Wanna try that?

[neo64]

Hi,

I'm new here and I'd like to contribute to this project, too.

Just a few things at first: I really LOVE the grass textures of the Kokiri Forest, thanks to the person who made it!
But: please DO NOT use Arial as the font for all the ingame texts! This font is just wrong. Try using "Zapf Humanist", this matches the original far better! Way closer!!
Download the attachement and put it into your Zelda-hires-folder to see for yourself!

Very good work, guys, keep it up!!!

[Rice]

One idea about the map. As indicated in previous posts, hq4x filter works great to enhance the maps. Someone could download the stand alone executable hq4x program, use it on the dumpped map textures to create a 4x enhanced new map. Some manual works could be done after this before finalize a map texture.

Hq4x program is available at http://www.hiend3d.com/hq4x.html

[JinXD]

Hq4x program is available at http://www.hiend3d.com/hq4x.htmlLinks broken Rice, still works copy paste though...

Fixed.

Seems like something good to try. I had just figured you guys had already worked on it. I'll get on that and update you when I'm done.

[TallgeeseIII]

i agree federelli, kman's is amazing, in fact i think i will stop working on mine because i'm in love with his now. as for the medallion's, here they are.

[Amon_Knives]

Now, before I go any farther, I need someone to tell me what they think of these. I used an acual Zelda font, a lot differant from it's original, but I was just trying things out. I personally think I can do better, but I think you guys need to decide this.

[LinkTheHero]

kman can you tell us when you will released your shield texture

[Trizesta]

for those of you experiencing the blue flames: go to the plugin settings and disable fog...now they should be normal! :-D

[TallgeeseIII]

uhm... changing the color of the flames at the expense of all the fog in the game... not a good trade off, i don't have the flames problem but if i did i certainly wouldn't want to do that.

[Federelli]

Amon_Knives, could you post a non-compressed .jpg, or a .png?
That font is way to different, i'd kinda like you to use the one you think is closest to the original

Neo64, i'd give that font a try and see what i can do. I had to update all text textures anyway due to some weird white borders appearing.

TallgeeseIII, nice work on those medallions. Still do you think you can fix the borders? And i'd hate to ask, but are you making this from scratch? (please say yes) It does look like it's been resized and sharpened. If they are not from scratch, do you think you can give it a try?

[TallgeeseIII]

sorry federelli, the medallions weren't scratch, the shield was though, i got the medallions from the larger textures on the pedastals in the area where the sages talk to you when you meet them (blanked on the name of that place) but what do you mean "Still do you think you can fix the borders?" i don't know what borders you're talking about.

[KMan]

I've been going through the deku tree textures today, and got about 6 knocked out. For things like those medallions, making a nice hi-poly model and material could work really nice, and make it easy to do the other colors.

[TallgeeseIII]

yeah, i thought of modelling them myself in max but remembered those textures, i'm sure other things would be better that way though

[Federelli]

See what you can come up with :).

Remember these medallions are used in many places.

Transportation triangles.
Quest Sub-Screen
File select in Main Menu
Chamber of Sages
Temple of Time.

[Federelli]

Just so you know, for the next pack i've made what you did, took the chamber of sages textures and made them to fit the quest. Since i like what i did better, i'll use that.
So show me something amazing and i will go with your approach :).

Pack 0.16 is being zipped right now.

[TallgeeseIII]

i've got no problems with that, heheh, but how's this for "amazing" not really my work again, just my effort (i'm not a great photoshop artist, i just know my way around the program)

i'm having some problems with the belt and forearm of the gauntlets but the rest is the best i could do.

oh, and i wouldn't expect this to be put into the pack, it's just for fun, i'll release it myself later, i just thought you guys might like it too.

[Djipi]

Ok , here my little work.
First , i work to the french letter , i make all letter whose not use in the english OOT.

Second , I work on the drawn on the link's house !!!

Tell me if you love

[Federelli]

0.16 is out, just wait a bit for a download link.

[pilm]

Djipi, thanks a lot for your french letters, any release planned ? ;)

[Djipi]

Yes Pilm !!!
This is French letter only for you (entre français on se comprend)!!!

[Amon_Knives]

Amon_Knives, could you post a non-compressed .jpg, or a .png?
That font is way to different, i'd kinda like you to use the one you think is closest to the original


I've got a font close to the original, but my comp is acting up and won't let me upload, I'll get it as soon as possible.

[pilm]

Merci Djipi ! :)
Good work, keep it up !

[Amon_Knives]

entre français on se comprend

Si vous deux parlerez au sujet de Zelda français, parlez dans un autre endroit.
(If you ywo want to talk about a french zelda, go talk somewhere else)

[Djipi]

He! Amon_knives calm down ! please! here i speak english don't worry ! there is here french peoples who love this retexturing project ! But me i respect the fact here we speak english!!
it was just a () sorry :bye3:

[Raziel]

Si vous deux parlerez au sujet de Zelda français, parlez dans un autre endroit.
(If you ywo want to talk about a french zelda, go talk somewhere else)
You really need to chill down dude, it was just small talk, you gotta learn to control your emotions.

[Amon_Knives]

sorry. guess you're right. sorry everyone.

[Djipi]

That's ok , no problem!! :P
To escuse me , here is my last little work!!!
You love?

[guruguru-]

im lost my zelda's packaging :( !!!

When it is going to be to download the packaging?

sorry my poor english ._.

[Federelli]

Um i already did the chests. Check 0.16

[Federelli]

Yo Martin, i need you to post the link to 0.16. It's been a while since it's been uploaded

[Rice]

Can you just go ahead to post the link instead of Martin?

[optimus$prime]

yeah please do it :bouncy:

[Martin]

For future reference, I won't be updating your links (all texture authors) in the texture threads in the future. It's easy to link to.

For example, if you have uploaded to httpdocs/zeldaoot/Federelli_Kman_Retexture_Pack_v0.16.rar. The web link for downloading it is therefore http://hires.emutalk.net/zeldaoot/Federelli_Kman_Retexture_Pack_v0.16.rar

I renamed your folder and file name so it's easier to link to. For instance, try to avoid spaces and strange characters. Instead of space in the filename use _

I updated your link in the first post, but like I said, please do that yourself for the next release. :)

[ferbe]

Yo Martin, i need you to post the link to 0.16. It's been a while since it's been uploaded
lol Federelli, why don't you ask him for a pizza too? just kidding :P
btw, great work guys with your texture pack. keep up the good work! :happy:

[Ninjaro]

great work guys :bouncy: que chido trabajo me cae :party: wow im lovin this good job

[Federelli]

I didn't know what the URL for my upload was, so i couldn't post any links :).

Thanks Martin :D.

[Cybertronic]

I love this texture project!!! To make it work for Masterquest, I didnt feel like renaming all the files to ZELDA MASTER QUEST, so I got this nifty program called rename it, it can do seek and replace renaming! :icecream:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/RenameIt.shtml

Also, Do anyone else have the same problem with the MQ rom as I do?

I downloaded from 3 differnt places, and each had the same error, For starters, in the equip item menu, Link dosent show up, he is a rainbow colored smear of noise (like a corruped image)

Also the Heart meter is screwed up! Instead of 3 hearts it only has 2, and when I take damage the 2nd one moves over to the place where the 3rd would be, also the hearts dont display in 4ths like they should when I take damage.... I heard there was a good dump and a bad dump.... I suposibly tried both, looked the same to me!

Hypothetically, if I saved a game from the bad dump, and then loaded it the good one, do you think the errors from the bad still show up?

***EDIT***

Odd, I got a copy of LoZooT 1.2 and it has the same problem....
So I narrowed it down to 2 problems.... Video/emulation settings, or My Gforce2 MX SUCK MAJOR ASS. I am willing to bet it is the 2nd one

[spork9]

Are you useing rice?

[Cybertronic]

I am using the latest version 6.1.0c

I tried both 1964 and Project64, but it shouldnt make much difference, they had the same errors.

Also I am using OpenGL mode, it seems less buggy...
And IMO will be FAR SUPERIOR to any inferior micro$oft graphics rendering engine...

But I tried DirectX (9) anyway... the Heart bug got fixed and the arrows on the maps were displayed, BUT the equipment menu was still screwed.... Oh an all the texture rendering sucked... becuase it is DirectX....damn M$!

So now I am convinced that my Gforce2 just sucks ass...

[sixtyfps]

I've been following progress for a few days now, and finally felt motivated enough to check it out. My card is a bit on the $hit side of things, but can still pull off a totally playable experience with a few graphical glitches here and there (got the [new] textures working, but it sure slows my ass down, so screw 'em in-game for awhile :P ), my first n64 test since the first UltraHLE busted out. Cool!

Your progress/work is incredibly heartening!

That said, there are a couple of textures that could use a shred more attention:

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA#5A51DA69#3#0_all.png - "Lost Woords"
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA#330FFDFC#3#1_all.png - (circle is noticeably offset to the right of the arrow)

Keep going, KMan and Federelli!

[TallgeeseIII]

Cybertronic - Check the Primary Depth hack and Near Z Plane options under the Current Game Options tab. near z plane fixes the hearts problem, and primary depth hack supposedly fixes the coronas when you look at the sun (another glitch most people don't notice... i haven't gone and looked for myself though) as for the screwed up equipment screen, mines is the same way, nothing fixes it, rice's plugin even dumped the textures from that as being the garbled colors.

[Amon_Knives]

Well, I got my comp working again. First off, the title menu things are looking better (All I need to do is find some way to make the text look as if it's engraved into the metal...ooo, I'll ask the guy who taught me how to use this crazy thing called photoshop in the first place), but the treasure chest seems to look a bit off, as if its too light or...something, I can't quite put my finger on it. Here's a pic.
EDIT #1: Ohh, I just figured it out, the metal looks too blended with the wood and it looks too "new". Maybe if you aged it up a bit?

Thx, I can finally use the arrow in the map and see my health! :bouncy:
I can live with the Equipment problem, I guess it may be an emulation issue?

[Federelli]

sixtyfps, it's made just like the original was, and Loost Woods is fixed now thanks ;).

I hate the chest i made, this is my queue, so that KMan drops in with an amazing chest texture :).

[Amon_Knives]

Never hate anything you do, just strive to make it better.

whoa...I need to write that one down.

[neo64]

Does anyone know how the sky-thing works? I know that the sky is puzzled together out of lots of small pieces... but I can't figure out how to put the pieces together manually. I've found 48 pieces and put most of them together in the right way, but I think there have to be missing some pieces...

[cloudscapes]

The pieces are meant to be seperate, so just save them seperately as they are dumped.

Technically, the reason is that the N64 hardware can only support up to a certain texture size (probably 64 pixels in length or width). Since you cannot save a very detailed background image in 64x64 pixels, they instead cut the detailed one up in pieces, and apply it on a checkerboard background plane, one texture for each "square".

[Federelli]

To map the sky correctly you need to model a cube, and then map the sky textures to it.

Kman can certainly explain it better since he's experienced in sky texturing.

[TallgeeseIII]

the oot sky is slightly different, it's a cube with no bottom, also each side is made up of 4x4 (or 5x5, i don't remember) squares

[pilm]

Well, Djipi, about your french Letters... Am I stupid or did you pack the wrong folder ? Check your zip...

[neo64]

Ah, ok, I finally figured it out. Thank you!!

[Amon_Knives]

the oot sky is slightly different, it's a cube with no bottom, also each side is made up of 4x4 (or 5x5, i don't remember) squares

I'd say, once someone starts working on the sky textures, it would most likely be the biggest and hardest part of this project.(Then again, I may be doubting KMan's abilities.)

[Djipi]

oupss sorry about that!! here is the right folder ;-)
please enjoy

[TallgeeseIII]

I'd say, once someone starts working on the sky textures, it would most likely be the biggest and hardest part of this project.(Then again, I may be doubting KMan's abilities.)

because of the changing pallette, oooh yeah

[sixtyfps]

How're the Market background and 2D backgrounds coming along? Now THAT would suck to work on because of all the implied detail in the original texturing.

No hurry, though; you know I can't use the new stuff yet anyway. :whistling

Actually, I see that the market is modeled modestly in polygonal terms... are the textures for that area actually fixed to the 3d models, or is it more of a skybox?

[TallgeeseIII]

it's basically a fixed skybox with invisible modelling for floors and walls

[Djipi]

Here another Works!!
Enjoy and tell me if you love ;-)

[Amon_Knives]

I already had done a sign texture earlier in the thread, but that looks cool. here's a pic from earlier.

/me drools
nice!
Think imma gonna have to buy this one. :D
I'm a big Zelda fan but mostly on the GB/SNES, haven't tried the N64 versions yet.

[Amon_Knives]

2nd sign= good
bridge= great
1st sign= (I think mine is better... :P :saint:

[KMan]

I can't get to the FTP from behind my work firewall, and for some reason I can't even attach anything. I'm going to try once again, when I get home.


Well... I guess not. Here it is.

[Amon_Knives]

Well... I guess not. Here it is.

That..is...GOOD!!! Awsome work man, My jaw dropped when I saw that. Keep up the great work! Seriously!
Just to show everyone, here is some more pics of KMan's awsome work...

[KMan]

For those that are interested: My personal preference, I just wanted a somewhat shiny/candy like look to the buttons. Kinda like what's been beaten to death with mac osx.

[Kerber2k]

My eyes water when I saw those screens keep up the kick ass work guys.
-Kman thats one seriously sexah button!
Its like my textures I made are just place holders for Kman's work of art. One word Kman Career.

[sixtyfps]

KMan, dude, that new button gradient is what I've been hoping for. The gradients on the current buttons (C buttons, in particular, off the top of my head) look downright garish next to your latest proposal. There I was, worried they were going to stay that way no matter what.

[Djipi]

Here my new work

[neo64]

KMan, your stuff is looking REALLY GOOD!!! But I have a problem: I downloaded your files and put them in the correct folder, but almost all textures don't show up, only your new trees are there. What am I doing wrong?

[Raziel]

Same thing here, can't get the ground on the hyrule main part to use the hi-res texture, and probably some others are missing too.

[optimus$prime]

I can't get to the FTP from behind my work firewall, and for some reason I can't even attach anything. I'm going to try once again, when I get home.

your are the man....the kman
awesome work!

never stop this :happy:

[Federelli]

mmm Guys, once i release .17, i'll need you to give me whichever text is still not done. By text i mean the title that appears when you enter a place. If you find it's not redone, then attach the file here please.

[neo64]

Ok it works now, use the newest version of rice and everythings fine! It even corrects some other texture bugs.

[SAVATRON]

i need 3d modles and textures from this Rom:Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 (J) [!]

if someone can help me with this that be nice
i cant attach the rom

[Trotterwatch]

Good job you can't attach the rom or it'd be an instant ban. I recommend you read the rules :)

[neo64]

I created 2 nice textures and saved them as png (with Photoshop), put them into the hires folder but they don't show up. I'm getting crazy with this! :-)
I don't know what's wrong, I've already created some small textures and it worked...

[Amon_Knives]

I created 2 nice textures and saved them as png (with Photoshop), put them into the hires folder but they don't show up. I'm getting crazy with this! :-)
I don't know what's wrong, I've already created some small textures and it worked...

First, crate a blank layer, then add a mask layer to that. Second, go to "Help", then click on "Export Tranparent Image...". From there hit next, then Online, then PNG. Save it with the name of the texture into your hires folder. It will then be 32-bit and able to play in the game. It took me a long time to figure that one out.
Savatron, in case you havn't noticed, this is a zelda OOT thread, that's all we're worried about and we're just going to ignore anything that does not have to do with retexturing OOT. My suggestion would be to start a new thread if you want your problem resolved.
Fed, I'm not sure if you've fixed it in v.17, but the Lost Woods havn't had a retextured title yet. just letting you know.
I've done some work on the boulder textures, hope you like...(BTW, it isn't a picture I took for this texture, I found it online from a quake website, so if I'm right, KMan might be familiar with this)

[neo64]

Thank you, but that didn't work for me, sorry. Do I have to put BOTH the _all AND the _rgb files into the folder or only one of them (if so, which of them?)??

[Amon_Knives]

Thank you, but that didn't work for me, sorry. Do I have to put BOTH the _all AND the _rgb files into the folder or only one of them (if so, which of them?)??

No, it doesn't matter if you put both in or not. But I can't help you any farther. Are you sure it is the right texture name for what you want to work on? Cause I've had a lot of problems with that.

I've created a few things for the Death Vally Trail. Some need more work (I mean, the textures around it that I cannot find need work), but here are sum pics, tell me if there's anything in them you would want changed, because I know there is something wrong with them. It just doesn't look right to me.
In the first picture, the ceiling texture is what I cannot find the dump for.

[neo64]

@Amon_Knives: Ok, thanks. I will try to find the reason for my problem... perhaps anybody else knows the solution?
The picture of the Death Vally Trail is looking good, great work! I don't think there's something wrong with it... maybe the textures of the stones could be at a bit higher resolution, then it would be perfect!

[Cybertronic]

:ranting:

THERE IS NO DEATH VALLEY IN ZELDA!!!!!

It is Death Mountain!!!!!

And Gerudo Valley is a completly Different place!!!!

:ranting:

I can understand one person accidentally referring to it as that, but then a Followup post with another person!!!??? THIS IS TOO MUCH!!!

*sorry, just a hard core zelda fan ranting...*

[optimus$prime]

kman: i realy like your textures. they are amazing :happy:
do you work with photoshop or paintshoppro?
do have a tutorial?

[neo64]

I can understand one person accidentally referring to it as that, but then a Followup post with another person!!!??? THIS IS TOO MUCH!!!
Oh sorry :P I'm from Germany and I only know the German version of Zelda with all the German titles of the places. (I wondered about the mentioned name "Death Vally Trail", too) :blush:
Of course you're right, it's called "Todesberg" (Death Mountain) and "Gerudotal" (Gerudo Valley) in the German game.

@Amon_Knives: So it's sufficient just to put a "*_rgb" png-file into the hires folder?

[3x3cUt0r]

great work guys, i found a problem with a goron's texture, the back seems to be loading incorrectly, if i disable the high resolution textures it shows correctly, i have attached a pic of the problem, BTW im using 6.1.1 beta 10.

[Amon_Knives]

:ranting:

THERE IS NO DEATH VALLEY IN ZELDA!!!!!


OOPES!!! (bangs head on wall.) I can't believe I messed that one up. I'm such a huge OOT fan and I messed that up! :paperbag:
Anyways, the goron's back is also a problem for me. I'm not sure if it's the video card's problem or not. If anyone has the dump for the ceiling and ground on Death Mountain Trail, could you post it here so I can finish Death Mountain Trail.
Neo: Yes, it is sufficiant, at least I havn't found any instance where both were needed. Perhaps someone else could explain it better, I mean, you're asking a guy who messed up Death Mountain with Death Valley. :blush:

[KMan]

Go ahead and remove that goron back texture. It was one of the first few I had done, and it was a CI texture with a pallette of less than 256, so photoshop saved it out in a format that the emulator didn't like too well. And since it was a CI texture and now I can do full color replacements, I'll be doing that one again, later.

I'll get to that one later. I'm going to try and do one area at a time, and work my way to each area, getting as many as I can. If I see something else that I recognize, I'll go ahead and do that one. So, for now, the goron is a little ways off.

Kokiri Forest
Deku Tree
Lost Woods (any that aren't covered by the first two)
Hyrule Field
Hyrule Castle
Kakariko Village
Death Mountain
Goron City
Dodongo Cavern
you get the idea....

[Amon_Knives]

It's always a good idea to do one thing at a time. I'm as giddy as a schoolboy to see your Kokiri forest KMan. I just started a retexturing of Death Moutain Trail tonight, and then I plan to release a .rar file of my work for you guys and the public to do with what they wish (as long as they give credit). But, I will not release Death Mountain Trail until I am completely satisfied with what I see (and so far, I've got a lot of work to do to get to that point.)
Fed, I'm not going to work on the title screen, to tell you the truth, making buttons and stuff isn't really my area. I'm just gonna stick with landscapes for now. I'm kicking it into overdrive with Death Mountain, so hopefully it will be done by the middle of the week at latest.
Can't wait to see the new textures KMan!

[Konami]

I have put all the Zelda textures into 1 folder, i get stuttering and late rendering(objects only appear when close too) if this because it is getting mixed up with previous versions?

behold http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/Konamiz0rz/gah.jpg

when the camera angle turns that yellow path will appear :\

[TallgeeseIII]

i get that now too, i also have problems with the hi res textures flickering and with certain textures not being replaced all teh time, like they only load 50% of the time, oh, and textures i had made that worked for beta 8 don't work with 10...

About your last problem, if your textures are ci, note that the palettes CRCs changed in beta9&10, I had to make a redump to correct my ci_byRGBA textures in SSB.
Sorry guys for the off-topic :)

[Amon_Knives]

whoops...looks like I was wrong. I gunned it (right now where I live it is 1:00 in the morning) and was able to finish Death Mountain Trail.
Here's some pics and the .rar file with everything I've worked on in it...
Water, hyrule field grass, Kokiri forest grass, 2 signs, boulders, Deku Tree bark (pardon the lower resolution), and everything (I think) in Death Mountain Trail.
As long as you give me credit if you every use it, it is now in the public's hand. :cheers:

In case anyone is wondering, the reddish tint to everything I think adds to the effect that it is an active volcano after all.

[Cybertronic]

Excellent work! :bouncy: But I think the rocks by the enternce should be lighter...

[Djipi]

Hello , here the kokiri's plants

[Nightfire]

Hello! Does any ony know why my picture look like this when I use Rice´s plugin! But when I use Direct64 plugin I see everything!
Please help me. Keep up the good High resolution textures project for Zelda!

[Amon_Knives]

Hey Fed, heads up before you release the next version, if you're working on the titles of everywhere in OOT, check remote locations like the (regular) faries fountains or The Courtyard. I'm not sure if you've already got those, but you had expressed concerns earlier. So keep up the good work!

[Beast_Blader]

I saw this yesterday, and I thought: "What the hell! Let's do something!!"

http://www.iespana.es/BeastBlader/THE%20LEGEND%20OF%20ZELDA-0.jpg

I've done these eyes, here. I know, It's nothing special, but it's a start...

Hello! Does any ony know why my picture look like this when I use Rice´s plugin! But when I use Direct64 plugin I see everything!
Please help me. Keep up the good High resolution textures project for Zelda!

while playing, go to "Current Game Options" and choose, the option "Basic & Write Back" on both "N64 Frame Buffer" and " Rendering To Texture", you need to use the DirectX renderer because the OGL one has the Frame buffer emulation disabled, hope this help.

I find that image very scary.... it is dosent look bad though, just verry creepy

Those eyes! The eyes!
*rocks back and forth in a corner curled up in a fetal position.*

[neo64]

I don't find a solution for my problem regarding the textures that don't show up... would anyone PLEASE try to get the attached textures running in the game and then tell me how he achieved this?? Thank you!!!! The textures are for the Shooting Gallery at the Market. This would be VERY nice, thanx!

Amon_Knives, your new textures are just great!! :bouncy:

3x3cUt0r, thanks for the explanation of this framebuffer-thing. I had the same problem, now it's gone.

[Beast_Blader]

Are the eyes I made THAT scary? Ok, ok... *sigh* I'll draw some new ones...

[3x3cUt0r]

federelli, did you noticed that you mispelled "Lost Woods" as "Lost Woords" on the map subscreen :whistling

[Beast_Blader]

Hmm... can someone help me getting Link's textures? I'm gonna give him a new look...

And, Cybertronic... I'm not gonna change the eyes, after all... :akuma:

[Amon_Knives]

Oh, god, just totally change link why don't ya? What are you gonna do, make him into a sailor moon/ powerpuff girl cartoon character? :yucky:
Fine, :huh: , go ahead, but I personally don't think it will be any good.

You're sayin' that because of those eyes, don't ya? Hey, he's a kid. I know that those eyes are kinda crappy, but my real goal is to change the Adult Link, not the kiddy one... That was just a test, before I get serious...

It crossed trough my mind the idea of making him look like the "Zelda 2005" Link... But if you don't want any changes in him, fine, I'm not gonna show ya the result! :yawn:

[DarthDazDC]

right....

[Beast_Blader]

right....

and wtf is that supposed to mean? :getlost:

thx for the info! i had the same problem.. but what to do about the speed?
when pressing start the menu appears very slow
please help

Thank you!!!! The textures are for the Shooting Gallery at the Market. This would be VERY nice, thanx!

I found out an answer to hopfully all your problems, the images are too big. Youy should only try going 4x the size. Ex: 64=256, 32=128, 16=64. It's very simple, but easy to overlook, and yes, once you resize them to a smaller size, your textures work.

Beast_Blader, sorry if I offended you, what I should say is that the members of this thread (I'm pretty sure) are open for any new ideas into the Zelda project. I, just personally, don't like an extreme-anime type Link. When you get done with adult Link, I'd like to see it, so far no one has worked on that (at least not publically).

[neo64]

Amon_Knives: THANK YOU. Now everything works... how easy :) Ok I will make some textures and release them.

[Beast_Blader]

Hehe... No prob. You are forgiven. It's just that... DAMN... I HATE Sailor Moon and Powerpuff Girls!!!!

Well, as soon as I figure out which textures belong to Adult Link, I'll get to work on it... :P

[TallgeeseIII]

well, bad news, i already started doing a 2005 link and it's damn near impossible because the UV texture mapping coordinates on link's tunic are meant for simple lines and patterns, basically any details you do (like say... stitching or leather underarmor) get stretched and twisted and don't look... "normal" also the forearm of his gauntlets and the repeating texture for his belt don't change, i'm fairly sure it's a plugin bug because i've tried about 10 times now, same process i use on other cibyrgba textures and they all work, those 2 don't. also, if you're going to add things that you want to be colored other than the color of his tunic for details on the tunic you need to use a gameshark code to change his tunic to white, check my topic a few posts down from this one for the codes. and his boots use a level of detail type thing where when link is farther from the camera they switch to 1 small texture instead of 2 bigger ones, kind of annoying from a texturing perspective.

[neo64]

So here's my first work: A little pack to improve the Shooting Gallery at the Market. Hope you like it :bye3: :P

Hmm... I'm not expecting to do something 100% equal to the original... Hey, If you are triyn' to do it, it means you already know which textures belong to him, right? Could you help me on that, sending me the textures, or telling which textures do belong to Adult Link? If you don't want to, it's fine, but it would be a great help.

Well... If I can't make a Link 2005, then I'll try to do something else. But for now, I'll try to do it, anyway...

PS: I only need to find the textures for the tunic, and hood...

[TallgeeseIII]

well, i was actually making a pack with all the textures for adult link and for young link but with the release of beta 10 things are different and i have to start over, once it's finished i'm putting it up for download in the topic i mentioned before, that should be either tonight or tomorrow night.

[Djipi]

My new work enjoy!!
If you want my works , tell me here!!

[Amon_Knives]

My new work enjoy!!
If you want my works , tell me here!!

Pic1= great work
Pic2= I see nothing differant
Pic3= It needs to be clearer.

Well, there's my two cents, bon travail. (I think that means 'good work', I'm not sure.)

[Djipi]

yes thanks!

[Djipi]

it's ok now?

[Djipi]

ok let's see : NAVY!!!!

[Djipi]

and :

[MuhMuh]

I love what all you have done to this game.
But one ov my favorite places, hyrule castle is still not retextured, so i made something myself.
Please tell me what you think of it. :bouncy: :P :happy:

[pilm]

Wow. Lot of news.

The Hyrule Castle texts are great, especially this Lon-Lon case.

And Djipi, your Navy texture is a bit suprising, but very well made. Actually... it gives a "Zelda-2005" look, I love it ! :D

[TallgeeseIII]

whoa, i love that new navy look! very plasma-ish, like it's really made of light!

[Amon_Knives]

Acually, that lon lon case is really good, but the castle itself is sorta looking like a mario castle. Try and make it look more like stone.

Great work on Navi, that's probably your best yet. The fence still seems like it needs to be clearer, but it is improving. Great work on everything, but I still can't wait to see KMan's work of Kokiri forest. Just like everytime he makes a post, he blows all of our work away. And also, if you're going to post pictures of multiple texture, could you try putting them into just one post instead of doing multiple posts, cause technically by most message board rules, that's considered spamming. So yeah, one post for textures if you have worked on them in a short period of time.

I think what we (as in, not Fed and KMan) should try to work on things that we think they are not already working on (I had already started Death Mountain Trail when KMan posted his list). That way we are not trying beat each other at one thing and maybe we can get more things done faster, like working on the Hyrule castle and lon lon crates....hmm...maybe someone could work on the Gerudo Fortress.

Keep up the great work guys, and Fed and KMan, I can't wait to hear news from your side of the project.

[Rice]

Can anyone redo the text fonts? I don't like what I did before. Individual letters are ok, but the spacing seems to be off and a whole sentence seems to be completely garbled.

[Federelli]

I've already started with it :) be patient :D, i don't have that much free time, and alignment does take a while.

[KMan]

Well, I've had to go back through all of my textures and make sure they have the right checksums. I'm also taking this time to take out all the ci.bmp textures I did, and make proper png's out of them. I may/may not have a pack for the end of this week, as I also had put about 100 textures into my work in progress folder. :S

[MuhMuh]

Is it better now?

[Amon_Knives]

Is it better now?

Much better. Keep it up.

[KMan]

Hah! The Deku Scrub Eyes are alphad out. That's why I couldn't find em before. :P

[neo64]

Hah! The Deku Scrub Eyes are alphad out. That's why I couldn't find em before. :P
Oh that's GREAT!!!

[V-King]

Whoo, that looks just friggin' great!
Keep going ;)

[Federelli]

Hehe, sexy flamable scrub :D

[Amon_Knives]

Just as I predicted, every time KMan makes a post, it blows everyone else away. That is GREAT work! I cannot wait for the next release.

[link1922]

How the heck do you guys get the texture dumps?! Is there a program I can download that will just... extract the textures?

[Amon_Knives]

How the heck do you guys get the texture dumps?! Is there a program I can download that will just... extract the textures?

check the forum for rice's plugin beta release, all the information is there.

[link1922]

sometimes i feel like im stupid in the head, but alas, this is a forum site, not a tutorial site. Thanks amon, i figured it out :bouncy:

[optimus$prime]

Hah! The Deku Scrub Eyes are alphad out. That's why I couldn't find em before. :P


awesome!!!

[KMan]

I found the eyes too. The video plugin keeps resetting itself and decides not to dump textures. :S

[Cybertronic]

You make this look easy......

[HoJu Simpson]

He makes this look like he was one of the original devs/texturers for the original game and is now doing what he originally had in mind. Pure professional art. Superb.
And... thanks for sharing with us! :)

[Amon_Knives]

Here's some things I've been working on in Ganon's Castle, tell me what you think. BTW, KMan, You're stuff keeps looking better and better.

[Malcolm]

Fire textures look crazy

[Amon_Knives]

Fire textures look crazy

You mean crazy as in good or bad? Personally, I need to change it, cause in a still picture it looks awsome, but seeing it move, it just doesn't seem real cause it doesn't move, and Fed's fire texture looksed the same way except a little more...silky. I don't think there is any way to make it look real while moving cause it never moves.

EDIT #1: I just noticed something. Have you realized that it's only been one month since this whole thing started! It's amazing! The progress everyone has made, especially you guys Fed and KMan. Think about what it could be like in another month.

[MuhMuh]

@Kman Whoa, that looks so realistic, I wonder how you did that. :drool:
@Amon-Knives I dont really like your fire...

I kept on retexturing, because it's so much fun.
I made the Fairy Fountains and now i'm working on the graveyard.

Is someone interested in downloading what i did? Should I open a new thread for my stuff?

[tRpi]

@ all: keep up the good work guys!

@ muhkuh: really good stuff and stay here, we dont need 1000 zelda related threads ;>

[Amon_Knives]

The fountain looks a little more smoother, but other than that, I see no differance. No new thread. If you're going to do the graveyard, try going for very dark and creepy themes. As fr my stuff, try not focusing in on the fire, I'm working on that, instead try to focus on the walls and carpet (carpet still needs work as well).

[Jokke_r]

imo the walls look worse than he originals and are not true to the originals either :/

[MuhMuh]

Maybe it's better to show a picture with the original textures... I'll do it the next time.
I am not making it darker than it was before, i want to make it look more realistic but also to stay as near as possible to the original ones.
And the reason why i only mentioned the fire was that i didn't recognise the changes on the carpet and i thought that there was nothing to say about the walls, they look really good.

[Kerber2k]

Actually Amon I think your textures are getting better with every post :)
The fire looks soo badass...It probably could use some tweaking, but dont go overboard with it.

[Cybertronic]

I hate the fire, needs work...

Also, I may do some textures soon....
just gotta decide which ones to do..

[Trizesta]

i think the fire rocks!

[Shin_Gouki]

its the question , photo realistic fire or cartoon style fire? IMO cartoon style would be betteR?
ah yeah AWESOME WORK so far :)
wbr Shin Gouki

[Amon_Knives]

I hate the fire, needs work...

Also, I may do some textures soon....
just gotta decide which ones to do..

I hate the fire too, That's why I'm trying to work on it, but everytime I do it still doesn't look real. The picture just stays still and never moves while the (inside) fire texture moves like it's real (texture by Fed and KMan). But the outside texture that gives it it's shape, just never moves so I need to find a way to make it look like it's moving without it moving at all, maybe an optical illution or something, I dunno, I'll have to look things up.

Hey Fed, I'm just curious, but when are you guys coming out with V.17? Oh, what am I complaining about, perfection takes time. Keep it up.

BTW Jokke_r, considering I used the same texture as the original and just added a rocky look into the same bricks, I don't see how you could think it is not true to the original.

[Amon_Knives]

I redid the carpet textures. I've also posted a watered down version of the fire, but while moving, they still look fake so it's still a WIP.

[KMan]

Ghomaaa!!

[QuickPaw]

I redid the carpet textures. I've also posted a watered down version of the fire, but while moving, they still look fake so it's still a WIP.

Now THAT'S good fire! Much better than the first one.

[Cybertronic]

What he said....

[Amon_Knives]

Ghomaaa!!

SWEET MOTHA OF AWSOME TEXTURES!!! Now that looks cool. Kerber says my textures keep getting better with every post, I think KMan's get better with every post!

[TallgeeseIII]

ok... i don't want to alarm anyone, but be warned, the sexyness of what i have created MIGHT kill you! you may want to only squint for the first few seconds before you take in all its majesty....

that's right, i did the impossible, i did a hi res subscreen.... it took 2 days, but i did it.

[Amon_Knives]

Cool, but the L and R buttons aren't there. Very impressive, but has anyone found a way to make a hires hyrule map yet? Keep it up TallgeeseIII.

[fivefeet8]

Nice subscreen retexture. Very nice. If it's an Aprils fools joke, you're gonna get it. :yucky:

[TallgeeseIII]

nope, sure isn't, i'll release it when i get home from school tomorrow, i have to rar-ify it and all, and amon, do you mean the L and Z buttons? (it's L and R in the gamecube version, L and Z on n64 for those unaware) because they're there, i just haven't redone them.

[Weatherton]

R and Z, not L and Z ;)

[TallgeeseIII]

ha, whoops, thx for the correction :D

[Amon_Knives]

Damn, two screw ups in a row about the same thing, Tallgeese, we really need to think about what we are saying.

[TallgeeseIII]

yeah we do... luckily Weatherton has our backs

[TallgeeseIII]

ok, here's the pack for the 3d subscreen, as well as my icons for songs and heart pieces to match it.

[Djipi]

Great work!!!!!!

[TallgeeseIII]

why thank you, it took me a while because i modelled the screens in 3ds max then took the renders and divided them up.

[Federelli]

The Hyrule map is already made :).

And sorry Tallgeese, but that doesn't look good at all. It looks like some plain filter applied on the old texture, with some edges sharpened.

However i do like the musical note

[Amon_Knives]

The Hyrule map is already made :).

And sorry Tallgeese, but that doesn't look good at all. It looks like some plain filter applied on the old texture, with some edges sharpened.

It is? Is it in the next pack? If not, then it isn't loading on my comp.
I agree, I like the musical notes, but the background images remind me of a filter I once used on photoshop for my friend's band's cd cover. I have never used 3dmax, so I'm not sure, but it was a great attempt. At least now it's one step closer to being perfect.

[Federelli]

Amon it's easy to know wether there's a texture in my pack, you go, check the folder, and see. :).

[Federelli]

Tallgeese, i've downloaded the pack, if you could only get the graining to look less agressive, and more stone like, and less like just a filter, i might consider adding this to the pack.

[TallgeeseIII]

in all honesty i don't care if it's in your pack or not, that was far too much work and i'm not redoing it, i like it, so it stays, anyone who doesn't like it, don't download it.

[Cybertronic]

The medal section is missing the lines that connect the medals... :whistling

[TallgeeseIII]

yeah, i didn't feel they were necessary, i was making this for myself but also anyone who wanted it.

[Shin_Gouki]

@TallgeeseIII
your subscreen work is AWESOME!! i like it ^^ the grainy looks ok for me?
The buttons look also better then before!!!
Is it already in version 0.16 of this project here included?
Also you ALL are doing here a really GREAT Job!
wbr Shin Gouki

[V-King]

I too think that your Subscreen looks really great Tallgeese. :)

Federelli you really should put that in the pak, no matter if it looks "just like a filter" or not ;)
I think it looks stone like. Not a real stone, but Hyrule isn't a real world, is it? ;)

[TallgeeseIII]

thanks guys, i apprectiate that, no it isn't in the pack Shin_Gouki, but you can still download it and use it. :D

[j234]

I don't know why people are saying it looks too "grainy". I think it looks awesome, definetly worth putting in the main pack.

Well done Tallgeese! :party:

[Amon_Knives]

It's true, people can download it if they want or they if they don't want to, they don't have to, but Fed is really the final word on additions to his pack, if it's not up to those standards to be added, than it should still be up for download from that particular person, you know, like customization.

[DarthDazDC]

yeah i agree with that. there shouldnt be a full on pack that as textures that the user doesnt want, just leave it the way it is.

[rpg]

Yes, I too agree that Fed makes the final choice. We absolutely have to have some kind of QA or this pack won't be up to the standards so many have previously set.

The work all of you have done on this is quite amazing. Some of these textures look so good that it makes me want to jump up and down. Let's keep up the good work and try and get this thing finished. The progress that has been made for only one month of work is superb.

That being said, TallgeeseIII, is there a way you could keep the same model in 3dSM, but also take the suggestions into account? Modeling in SM is very time consuming, so we don't want you to have wasted all of that. Maybe try a version 2.0 with a few minor texturing and gradient changes.

I sure wish the graphic artists and I here in the grad department could help, but alas, all we have is a room full of G5's. No Rice love for us ;(

[gokuss4]

It's true, people can download it if they want or they if they don't want to, they don't have to, but Fed is really the final word on additions to his pack, if it's not up to those standards to be added, than it should still be up for download from that particular person, you know, like customization.

therefore, people should make their own hi-res texture threads.

[bobablob]

Just wanted to say great work everyone. The project you all are on is so exciting that I registered just to pay my compliments. KMan's in another world on some of these and I hope he keeps up the steam. TallgeeseIII, I think the subscreen is great. Fed, thanks for putting the time and effort into managing this project, as well as contributing to it; the effort is really appreciated.

[Amon_Knives]

therefore, people should make their own hi-res texture threads.

Haven't we already covered this, making 1000 zelda retexture threads would be pointless.

[Cybertronic]

I hate da menu.... I want to see K-man do it!

[Federelli]

Thanks for the encourangement guys :). Kman and I sure do aprecciate it.

[TallgeeseIII]

yeah, i do agree you guys are doing great, i love your work, but what was time consuming about that subscreen was the process of splitting up and saving the images, each of those menus is 15 individual images, 5 screens, 15 images, 75 images... no thanks, i'll stay with the version 1.0

Hey, if I was better with photoshop I'd do it for you, but since my expertise is limited, I'd probably just screw it up.

OK, so i got this 'skyeffects' plugin for photoshop, and I can create some high res skies with it, right? Well I tried replacing what I thought was the cloudy sky and it went hay wire! <attach> So if any of you geniuses out there can help explain to me how i should select which dumps to use and how to re-name them, I'd be more than thrilled!! :P

This image is an example of the sky filter. The angle, haze fog, cloud frequency, sun position and perspective can all be changed. With the proper dumps I can create a more accurate rendering then make it tessalate so it wraps around the sky seamlessly! But i need the dumps! :blush: :blush:

That seems to me like a palette problem.
The resized texture must have the EXACT palette of the original texture.
In your case you tried to make a 24-Bit texture out of 8-Bit texture. That's why it's so messed up 'cause the palette is total messed up and stuff.
You have to save the palette first (I don't know how you do this in Photoshop since I use Paint shop Pro for retexturing) and then apply the saved palette to the new texture and save this texture and so'n'so and blabla.

Make a long story short: Save the old palette, apply it to the new texture, problem should be solved then ;)

[link1922]

no... i just double checked the palletes of the textures used for that ss, and theyre all 8-bit. Want me to attach the textures I used in that ss?

[j234]

I just tried this, all you have to do is scale the image 4x (to 128x128) then add an alpha channel (in thegimp use layer -> transparency -> add alpha channel) and make sure it is an _cibyrgba.png image.

[Rice]

You should not use _ciByRGBA for sky textures. The sky textures need to change palette during the game.

[Federelli]

What Rice said is right. :)

[yoh_asakura]

Oh great work guys!!! but I am have a question! I can use the direct64 plugin?

[Cybertronic]

Heretic!!!! Hethen!!! how dare you use anything other than RICE!!!! :ranting:

[TallgeeseIII]

nope, sorry man, unless orkin adds support, which i read he was considering but i doubt it.

[yoh_asakura]

sorry! but the english is not my native language ¬¬

Hey, don't diss the guy. No you cannot use any other plugin besides rice's, because only rice has the hires texture loader.

Including HiRes is on Orkin's todo-list as far as i know... Direct64 has better framebuffer handling in some games - especially zelda. Subscreen-FBs work simply perfectly.

Here is Orkin's thread: http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=26677

Some graphic glitches are quite normal.
Zelda-OoT is one of the games which have problems in emulating correctly and stuff.
OK, some of your problems (like the yellow Link or those missing textures in the title screen) should normally be solved with the new graphics plugin (at least I have no problems besides the following).

This glitch in the menu, that Link doesn't show up, is pretty sure normal. I haven't been able to see Link just once in the menu. It ever messes up. At least on my emulator with my settings.

[Amon_Knives]

acually, I think the yellow link is just a gameshark code. But why are we talking about this here? This is a retexture thread. :spam:

[Djipi]

here the stone

an other

[Djipi]

oupss sorry

[Cybertronic]

PERFECT!!!! :icecream: The stone looks like stone!

[Amon_Knives]

I think he means the spiritual stones.

[Cybertronic]

I think he means the spiritual stones.

Yeah thats what I ment! :huh: What else is stone.... oh rite... ¬_¬

[mongo51983]

Does this work for Master Quest? If so how?

[Cybertronic]

Ya need to rename all the files from "THE LEGEND OF ZELDA" to "ZELDA MASTER QUEST"

use a FREE program called rename-it
which I have attached below...

Dont be foolish enough to rename each file by hand, like I did... :plain:
Luckily I decicded to google my way to a solution! I love Batch Re-names!

[yeloazndevil]

Does this work for Master Quest? If so how?
The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time - Master Quest (E) [!] - only this version is supported. the (U) one won't work with this pack

[Poobah]

There is no (U) Master Quest...

[Clements]

Yeloazndevil means the [f1] (NTSC) version. The correct dump has 'THE LEGEND OF ZELDA' as it's internal name, so there is no need to use batch scripts for renaming with the correct dump.

[optimus$prime]

i use the "The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time - Master Quest (E) [!]" version. in 1964 the internal rom name is "ZELDA MASTER QUEST"; in pj64 v1.6 the internal name is "The Legend of Zelda"... why???

i patched it with the bad to good patch from your topic...

It should be easier to execute the dos command ren...
ren "the legend of zelda*" "master quest*"
...Like so. Don't need any utilities for that :)

[hizoka10]

someone talk about _cibyrgba.png textures, and I can't do it in banjo, (adding an alpha on a 24bit image as explained). Could someone explain ?

[Poobah]

That's what I was thinking.

[Cybertronic]

I have a book on DOS 6.2, But I was too lazy to finnish it :whistling

So where is this patch for the bad to good dump......

I have only found "Bad Dumps"

[Amon_Knives]

Maybe you should start another thread on this cause it's going off subject.

[Federelli]

Oh right, like it already hasn't...

[Amon_Knives]

Oh right, like it already hasn't...

Good point. So let's get back on subject. If you havn't figured it out already, I found out the problem with the one invisible heart. Apparently, there is no hires 1/2, 2/4, or 3/4 heart bar made, so the loader isn't loading it. Also, I've done more with Ganon's Castle, tell me what you think: I've got more work to go, but the second and third pics represents the two color schemes, tell me which one you would like better... (I'm also working on all the door medallions, but this is the only one I've done so far.)...whoops, tiling on the walls need work, I'll get on that.

[rpg]

OMG that second pic looks amazing!

[V-King]

As you already said: The tiling on the walls need work. But it looks really impressive already.

And for picture #2:

OMFG THAT'S ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AWESOME!!
Really! I love it! Really hard! From behind! (or something xD)

EDIT: Forgot to say something about the Shadow medal:
It looks very good, but there's seomthing that bothers me:
This 3D-effect on it. It makes the medal look like it has just a detailing texture on it. Perhaps you could use some plugin for Photoshop or PSP (what ever you're using) that makes this look a bit glass like, so the detail on it gets kinda ditsorted (if I used the right word).

Hmm...better look at the link below to get a view of what I meant :D
Klick me to get a better view (http://img31.exs.cx/img31/3891/tellthedifference1et.png)
On the left is the one with the glass effect, on the right it's a simple put 3D-Effect.

So, I hope you know what I mean and all that stuff blabla.

And don't forget:
Your Tower of Ganon Entrance looks absolutely awesome ;)

[Federelli]

Amon, the fact that that heart does not appear is that you are using the wrong combiner mode, switch to another.

[Rich_T]

Does anyone else have this problem with OOT; when you press start to go into menu. it takes a couple of seconds and the background is of the last exited building?
