Federelli's Retexture Pack for Zelda OOT and MQ

[Kerber2k]

Amon, the fact that that heart does not appear is that you are using the wrong combiner mode, switch to another.
The fact that he does not see the last heart actually has nothing to do with combiner modes. I think this has happend before :whistling I never had the heart or the animation before I figured out its just a matter of clicking the Near Plane Z option. The heart, as far as going into parts after getting hurt...I dont think theyre animated either. If im wrong Fed, and you have gone through and animated the 1/2 1/3 heart damage animations please say so because all I get is a beating heart animation then when Im hit its just pale. Btw switching to the other combiner mode makes everything white including link.

[Amon_Knives]

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

Funny you should say something about it looking glass, because that's exactly what I used. After looking at the screens I took, it has become apparent to me that it simply isn't working. I'll do research and maybe I'll find something I can use in photoshop, because I don't know how to use any 3d program.

If you're talking about the fierce looking face on the entrance, I never worked on that. But I do notice that the new textures make it stand out and appear so. I don't plan on redoing that because I'm not good enough yet at it, but I'll post the dumps later in case anyone else wants to work on it and the frames for the doors. I'm working on on the tiling problem as I speak and even the bridge floor, so I'll probably have an update here in a while.

[Federelli]

Kerber2k, you know how to use Windows right?
Still i guess you don't, since you can't even check the HUD folder in my pack.
You'll find the texture for the complete heart, 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4. They are all in, none missing, all working.

See if changing from DX to OGL or viceversa does anything.

[DarthDazDC]

everythin looks really gud so far. Any word on a release soon??

[Federelli]

I'm waiting for Kman to release something, otherwise, it's not wort to update for just about 50 textures, none major.

You can anyway expect Kman to reappear soon and blow us all out.

I deleted your textures silly boy I know how to use windows no reason to insult me. (I deleted your textures not because of somthing you said merely because Id rather wait for somthing larger) I was just recalling how you treated me when I asked this question. No Im afraid changing to DX wont help conflicts with my crappy video card. Dont translate these words into hatered and discourgement. I simply wanted to tell everyone who has a MX NVIDIA how to fix it in a way to atleast play the game. I dont need your help, and when you did try helping it really wasnt helpful. On the other side your not really here to help others with their emulation problems, and no one said you had to, but you dont have to be so rude when awnsering my questions. -Fed Kman dont give up! This is one helluva project you have going here.

[Amon_Knives]

No doubt, no doubt. KMan always keeps us on the edge of our seats.
Anyways, I fixed the tiling problems (sort of) and did a retexture of the bridge floor. Also, the head at the entrance has olnybeen sharpened more, so that's all I've done for it. Due to popularity of the second pic before, I've tinted the other walls the same color, I'll need feedback cause I'm not quite sure what to think of it. I also did a webbing look to the little triangle things that support the force field, but I personally don't like it as much as the original, but tell me what you think.

[Cybertronic]

It passes the "Eh, good enough" standard to me! :P

[Kerber2k]

The webing looks pretty good, but the bridge looked out of place.
I suguest just making the bridge more grimy. Ammon im not trying to stroke your ego, but your are getting better. Keep posting your work ill be watching....waiting :evil:

Nice work (especially the face).
federelli, sorry to annoy, but can you post some of your progress? :)
any luck retexturing the fonts?

[MuhMuh]

WOOOOOOOOW Amon_Knives! It's damn good!
You're getting better and better! When can we download your recent work?

Sadly, I don't have that much time for retexturing, i've got too much to do for school.

[SubCog]

why bother with ganon's castle when we know nobody ever plays past the water temple? ;)

[adventureFAN]

Hmm, the Dialog-Text in the (E) 1.1-Version of Zelda OoT is not correct.

[Amon_Knives]

why bother with ganon's castle when we know nobody ever plays past the water temple? ;)

You are obviously not a real zelda fan.

[Amon_Knives]

ok, I'm posting my progress on Ganon's castle, now let me tell you the bad things about this WIP because I have not found all of the texture dumps.
1: The two floors textures cannot be found, if anyone has the dump for it, let me know.
2: the invisible passageway door to the fairy fountain is..well...no longer invisible. I cannt find the dump for that either, for some reason it's a differant texture from the surrounding wall.
3: the fancy crests around the medallion doors are beyond my skill to work on, but I have enclosed the dumps (already resized, so don't worry) if anyone is talented enough to do so.
4: stairs beyond my skill
I have also posted a picture of the wall bug and a brand new textures added last minute, including a new bridge!

[rpg]

oh yah I love that bridge! Great work man!

[Amon_Knives]

oh yah I love that bridge! Great work man!

If you like that, then you'll like this. I just wasn't happy enough with my work, so I made a better bridge that fits in better with everything. I'm on a roll, now now I'm gonna start the interior of ganon's castle all the way up the Ganon himself, boo ya!

[gokuss4]

erm.. i'd like to have those heart textures..
can you post an attachment of it please?

[Amon_Knives]

erm.. i'd like to have those heart textures..
can you post an attachment of it please?

Yeah, I've got an attachment for ya. It's called go to the first page and download Fed and KMan's pack!

[Federelli]

Good one :D lol

[optimus$prime]

amon: nice work


fed:when do you release the new texture pack?

[gokuss4]

Yeah, I've got an attachment for ya. It's called go to the first page and download Fed and KMan's pack!

already did, textures dont show up.

[QuickPaw]

hmm...I've noticed that too....I have the .16 release, and some textures aren't loading for some reason...like Hyrule Field's grass, the Hearts, and a few others. Any suggestions?

[Amon_Knives]

hmm...I've noticed that too....I have the .16 release, and some textures aren't loading for some reason...like Hyrule Field's grass, the Hearts, and a few others. Any suggestions?

I've never had that problem, maybe it varies between machines. As for Hyrule field's grass, I just use my own texture.

[V-King]

I think that's a problem with the version of OoT.
Almost everyone knows, that there are 3 different version out there (1.0, 1.1 and 1.2).
I, too, noticed that some textures (e.g. the location names) don't show up in my US-v1.2-rom.

I noticed that problem too when I retextured Banjo-Kazooie. Some textures have different names (e.g. the font in Banjo-Kazooie).

I'd say you try out different versions.
If that doesn't work then I suggest it's a problem with the plugin (note that it's still beta).

[KMan]

I'm only using v1.0 of OoT so if there are differences between dumps per version, then that would cause a number of textures not showing up.

[QuickPaw]

I have all 3 versions. From what I can see so far, everything works the same on each one. I'll keep a eye on it. No worries.

[Federelli]

My texture pack is meant to work with all of the game versions, including: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and Master Quest, ALSO, in their European and USA versions.

It's only in Master Quest that a very small ammount of textures vary their content, or name.

All in all, as long as the internal Rom name is The Legend of Zelda, it will work. And if it's not, simply make a batch rename with whatever the internal rom name is.

[Stop It]

I honestly cant wait for you guys' next release, its turned zelda into a whole new game, keep up the good work, all of you :)

[Zeytok]

I love your texture pack, it's really perfect. But when you said :


1) Whichever text you find is not being replaced, please take the time to dump that texture and post it here, so i can remake it . I really need as many texture dumps as i can get.

Is it only english text ?

and the dump format must be "_all.png" or ... ?

because, I'm french and I can dump all french text, if you want...

PS:sorry, for my bad english...

[Djipi]

Hey zeytok , i have made all french text ;-) Go to my thread

[Zeytok]

Yes, I see, it's e great work...

But you use a totally differente font, Djipi.
i prefer to have a faithful highres ...
I forgot to say that i can do in german too.

btw, i'm not see where I can download the pack with this text...

[Cybertronic]

Whats wrong with the "BAD" dump of Zelda? seems fine to me... so far...

[Clements]

What's wrong with all bad dumps? They are not identical to the original source.

[Federelli]

Sure, give me them dumps, i'll make whichever text i can.

[Zeytok]

ok, not all but big number of them (I sort them)

it's french text, german can take me a week (or more)

[optimus$prime]

hi fed & kman!

how is progress?
any new textures?

[Mojo Man!!!]

Federelli and kman, I have a texture dump from SSBM of Link textures. I'm more than happy to post them but I'm not sure if it breaks the rules. :huh: So, do you want them?

[Persephone]

when will a new pack be posted? and when will it work with french language?

[Amon_Knives]

Federelli and kman, I have a texture dump from SSBM of Link textures. I'm more than happy to post them but I'm not sure if it breaks the rules. :huh: So, do you want them?

You won't be breaking any rules to post the texture, only roms, isos, and official 3d models of them are illegal to post. Yeah, I think you should post them, but I'm not sure how much help it will be. I mean, just take a look at KMan's shield, it's a whole lot better than SSBMs Shield.

Persephone, I believe the french language stuff can be found in Djipi's thread, other than that, the textures should work with every other Zelda OOT game, because it's just the words that are changing, not the textures.

[adventureFAN]

ok, not all but big number of them (I sort them)

it's french text, german can take me a week (or more)

yeah, german please :bouncy:

[Federelli]

If you got files from SSBM (as in Melee), sure, post em here :). Otherwise, don't.

[optimus$prime]

oh yes post them please!


could you post some other character textures from ssbm in the super smash bros thread?

[Mojo Man!!!]

Yes, I have more. I'd be happy to post all I have. :bouncy: Anything for my retexture idols. :icecream: Waits for upload, dang this 56k! :yucky:

[Amon_Knives]

Yes, I have more. I'd be happy to post all I have. :bouncy: Anything for my retexture idols. :icecream: Waits for upload, dang this 56k! :yucky:

Awsome, this is definately gonna help you Fed. Hey mojo, could you also post dumps of ssbm's sheik? I'm gonna try to redo Zelda.

[Mojo Man!!!]

Well, I'm not sure how to turn Zelda into shiek in SSBM. If you can tell me I'd sure do that.

[Federelli]

I'll see them textures once i get home

[Sirmatto]

Well, I'm not sure how to turn Zelda into shiek in SSBM. If you can tell me I'd sure do that.
I believe it is the down smash (down and B) to turn her into Shiek.

[Djipi]

This is my link !!
Enjoy

[Cybertronic]

Looks nice, but the eyebrows seem a little bit long. Separate them a little, it is almost a unibrow.....

[Amon_Knives]

This is my link !!
Enjoy

Looks good except the eyebrows. With Mojo man's dump, I made these two little quickies, tell me what u think.

[Mojo Man!!!]

Looks good except the eyebrows. With Mojo man's dump, I made these two little quickies, tell me what u think.
Amon_Knives, I have more OOT art but I thought you guys already had them.
The master sword I made myself from a box scan. :happy: I think you should tilt the eyebrows or something to make not look so angry. I'll try and get some shiek textures as soon as possible. Cheers to rice! :party:

[rpg]

Hammer looks good. Sword is a little dark.

[Mojo Man!!!]

Here we are, shiek textures aswell as some LOZ: art I dug up from the internet, sorry for the duplicates. Have fun boys! :happy:

[Federelli]

Even if they look awesome, i won't use this textures. It's completelly illegal. However, it will sure help KMan do his work, even when i know he can do way better than those :).

[Cybertronic]

whoa! those are really useful dumps! Anyhow I have decided to redo Princess Ruto if no one has done her alread.... I am gonna have so much fun! :whistling

[Amon_Knives]

whoa! those are really useful dumps! Anyhow I have decided to redo Princess Ruto if no one has done her alread.... I am gonna have so much fun! :whistling

They are useful dumps aren't they. But for some reason I can't get any of zelda's textures to load on photoshop. But I'll just take Fed's word on it being illegal (tho I don't see how) and quit working on those.
Ruto is a good thing to work on, I mean, no one here has even started anything having to do with zoras. I'm still working on ganon's castle interior, but I haven't had a lot of time to work on it. Hopefully once summer starts I'll have a lot more time.
KMan, I was wondering when ur new stuff is coming out, because Fed said earlier that he is waiting for ur stuff before he releases the next pack.

EDIT 1: Yes the master sword is too dark, how's this?

[Cybertronic]

I am extreamly tempted to make 2 versions.... one with nipples :bouncy: She is a naked blue fish chick with a nice rack afterall...

[Amon_Knives]

I am extreamly tempted to make 2 versions.... one with nipples :bouncy: She is a naked blue fish chick with a nice rack afterall...
...this man is not affiliated with me...lol. very funny, but I don't think that is possible and even if it was...*snicker*...I'm just gonna shut up now and make no comment. :teehee: rotflmao

[Cybertronic]

I assure you it is possible, it is just textures afterall.... but what if it uses one texture for the whole body.... :plain: oh....... she will then look like she go chickenpocks.....

[rpg]

ha ha ha

[Amon_Knives]

I assure you it is possible, it is just textures afterall.... but what if it uses one texture for the whole body.... :plain: oh....... she will then look like she go chickenpocks.....

Not neccesarily. Isn't she mostly color indexed like link and others?

[Mojo Man!!!]

Let me clear some things up.

If you got files from SSBM (as in Melee), sure, post em here :). Otherwise, don't.

1. Federelli, I do believe you yourself did ask for the textures I have. I was just trying to help you and/or give you some ideas of what the charactures COULD look like.

2. I think you missunderstand me. When I said, "dug up from the internet" I was refering to google's Image search option. The LOZ art is not illegal in any way.

3.
Even if they look awesome, i won't use this textures. It's completelly illegal. However, it will sure help KMan do his work, even when i know he can do way better than those :).

Federelli, SINCE WHEN HAS ANY EMULATION BEEN COMPLETELY AND UNDISPUTEDLY LEGAL!!!??? (!) In my mind this is just different shade of gray.

4. But, if Rice or any other Admin thinks I have done anything wrong, just say the word and I will remove the offending post(s).

[KMan]

The legality issue comes into play if you go and start using SSB:M texture dumps straight out and into another game. As for any of it helping me when I get to those characters, don't bother.

[Federelli]

Emulation in my country is legal, but copyright infringement isn't.
And i didn't misunderstood anything, it's you who misunderstood, by taking it as if in any part of my post, i mentioned something related to you.

1. Who said i didn't?
2. Read above 1.
3. Read abobe 1.
4. Lighten up :).

Anyway, told you, Kman can do way better you'll see :D

[Glenbo]

ffs is there 1 forum on the internet were people dont bitch at each other?

[Snatch5003]

errrmmmm propably not

[Amon_Knives]

Everybody bitches at everybody. That's just life. At least we're lucky and havn't had any a$$holes coming on this thread just to piss people off.

[Snatch5003]

hey fed is there going to be an eta on the next pack update or is it gonna be a "when it's done" ala q2e thing?

[Cybertronic]

roms are illegal... so um yeah....

[Toasty]

roms are illegal... so um yeah....
Not exactly. The unlicensed distribution of copyrighted roms is illegal. (In most countries that's the way it is anyway.) ;)

Excellent job on the textures BTW. Can't wait for the next release. Wish I had the artistic skills to contribute.

EDIT: Actually I'm not sure how many countries go by that rule, so change that 'most' to 'many'. Since you live in the US, though, that's the way it is here.

[Djipi]

Here's saria

[Gladiac0190]

Here's saria
uh, sexy ;). Bigger versions avail? this pic is a bit pixelated...

[Cybertronic]

Yeah we want to print out a poster and hang it on our wall! :P Love the eyes! and Eye liner!

[Djipi]

Here's a new one

[Zeytok]

thx, adventureFAN to appreciate my little work ;)

Federelli: All German text dumped!

btw, I start to dump boss'name (in english, german and french) are you interesting ?

[Amon_Knives]

Here's a new one

Intersting, Djipi, to say the least. I like the hair band and hair, I'm not sure what's wrong with the dress, but it looks a little bit off. As for the eyes, very nice, but I think it would fit better on someone like princess zelda, because it looks a bit too flashy for a simple forest girl. Think about the culture, they live in a forest alone, with no parents or anything, they probably make their own cloths and (this one is a bit wierd to think about) if they want to dye their hair (say green for example) thay probably use plant chlorofill (if thats how you spell it). I'm a personal fan of LOTR and I liked the way they incorporated little details in each of the cultures. I've always imagined that in Zelda OOT. Like Hyrulians=royalty, Zoras=most of their civilazation would be underwater, except for where link travels (think of the mysterious polygon glitch beneah zoras domain, a house perhaps?), Kakariko=very simple people, peasnts, Gerudo=sort of arab when you think about it, they live in a desert and probaby wear cloths with material that blocks out sand. and their fortress would probably be made of material to withstand a sandstorm. Gorons= think moles, digging homes underground (medigoron) and their city is made of differant layers on dug out dirt and rock.
There is limitless creative possibilities when you really get down to the niddy gritty of each race and how they live that you can incorporate into the look and enhancement of what the original artists were trying to create. You don't think I created the darker atmosphere for ganon's castle for no reason do you? lol.

[adventureFAN]

thx, adventureFAN to appreciate my little work ;)

Federelli: All German text dumped!

btw, I start to dump boss'name (in english, german and french) are you interesting ?

Oh, i love you! :bouncy:
(ok, not realy :P but it is great :D)

[Cybertronic]

you dont suppose if I used gameshark codes, that it would affect the Texture dump's adress would it? because I really dont wanna quest all the way to the water temple to get Adult Ruto on a new file.

I already dumped it using some GS codes...

[KMan]

I'm pretty sure that the address would be the same, because you are just changing the value of one address that doesn't correspond to any of the textures.

[Mojo Man!!!]

My apologies Federelli :down: I was just tying to help. Next time I'll try to keep my head on my shoulders. :satisfied
No hard feelings, eh? :happy:


Here's a new one
Looks great Djipi
Kman, I don't know how you do it, but you always have something more; I can't wait! :bouncy:

[Amon_Knives]

My apologies Federelli :down: I was just tying to help. Next time I'll try to keep my head on my shoulders. :satisfied
No hard feelings, eh? :happy:

Good to see you're back to your senses, Mojo.

[D623932883]

You guys are doing some great work here. If anyone would like it, I could post links to about fifty or so high quality icons of some of the items, although most of them you may already have.

[Federelli]

I may have them, but the higher res i got is about 100x100 pixels, no more.

[DarthDazDC]

keep it up. :D

[Djipi]

My first zelda work

[D623932883]

I may have them, but the higher res i got is about 100x100 pixels, no more.

Most of these are around 100x100, but several are 160x160:

Hopefully some of these are useful.

[Federelli]

Had them all, thanks anyway :).

How did you translate the text, Djipi?

[Amon_Knives]

How did you translate the text, Djipi?

He has the french version of the game.

Djipi, the only thing that looks changed are the eyes, and even those I can barely tell anything.

[EmuFan]

actually, i do see some differences on the face... looks a bit smoother to me.

[EmuFan]

there´s something with the hair as well, and the nose looks smoother... at least that´s my opinion

[Djipi]

there's long time kman & fed given't an update.
There's no progress? you are busy? No shot to see your work?
I'm afraid to don't see any news!

[MuhMuh]

Retexturing Zora's Domain seems to be very hard.
I tried it and it looks messed up...
But i think Kman will be able to do this :>.

[Amon_Knives]

hmmm, It still looks good though. But I would suggest that you try to add some small shadows to add a little detail of depth to them. Good job MuhMuh.

[MuhMuh]

Well the textures allways look messed up, because they are stretched...
I'll keep trying xD

[Djipi]

imy Zelda's Progress

[Federelli]

Ok, some mini-update :).

I've finished the screen names in French, for every single place (48) in Hyrule that i was provided with.

Now if someone could give me the complete English text dump...

[Zeytok]

i've done a new dump pack with :
- boss name (english, french and german)
- all font characters seen in french and german game
- some misc "text" valid in all languages

BTW, I see 'W' letter already redone I don't know if it is correct, it is ?
(location: "Title Screen\OOT Logo" name: "THE LEGEND OF ZELDA#91C440A8#4#0_all.png")

I think I can do the english pack but they can take more or less long time because i now have some (very hard) exam ...

[Zeytok]

Federelli, a little thing... when you say "complete", what is it ?
1)All text that can be found (include already redone textures text)
2)Or need "filtered" (not include already redone textures text)

if 2), an update can help me to know what is already done... :)

[Cybertronic]

I really like the work on Zelda, but IMO I think the eyes could be a lighter shade of blue. I liked the shade the original used... But I love what you have done!

[Djipi]

Here's my kokiri's entrance and Gerudo's Temple.
Cybertronic i will change and keep the original color of zelda's eye !! Thanks

[Amon_Knives]

Djipi, I really like most of your stuff. Now I see the differance in Zelda. Wow, it was so well done, I couldn't tell the differance with the eyes, well done. BTW, the kokiri forest entrance realy fits in with KMan's wall, but it could be just a little bit lighter. (unless that's just the lighting, I'm not sure)
Fed, can't wait to see the final product of the text, keep it up.

[Amon_Knives]

Well the textures allways look messed up, because they are stretched...
I'll keep trying xD

The way I find to fix that is to push together the texture so that it looks normal when stretches.

[Federelli]

I need EVERY SINGLE text found in OOT in English, regardless of wether it's done or not.

[Cybertronic]

I started working on Ruto marking textures, just to see where they go and whatnot, and I found that some of the textures are NOT color indexed and when I mark them, they dont show up in the game, for example I cant seem to replace the eyes. Anyone know what may be the cause?

[CoffeeandTV]

Federelli, did you include all of the hi-res dialoge text textures in your pack? If so, only 'W' and a few other letters are actually working in (U) [!] (v1.2) of the game...

If not, where can I find the rest in this thread?

umm, if you were paying attention, you would know that he's working on that right now and he need the dumps for them. C'mon, that was only 3 posts ago. Please people, before you post questions, make sure that it hasn't been answered moments before.
Anyways, Cybertronic, I know this is a million old solution, but did you check to see if they needed to be 32 bit ci textures? oh, wait, maybe it's a differant eye. There are like 3 differant eye texture just for them to blink.

I'm sorry, he did not specify dialogue textures, and I am just getting confused after seeing so many screens (esp Dijipi's) with hi-res text. Please, you and Federelli, though you may be texture experts need to chill a bit and not jump on everyone who asks a half-decent question. Thanks.

On a more positive note, keep up the great work and I will do what I can to help.

EDIT: nm, I completely skipped over that post. My apologies.

ugh, it is this post :

you make me confused...
if SINGLE TEXT is only dialogue text, it's already dump in my last dump pack

Federelli, can you make light.
it's text like "Kakariko Village" or it is "the font text character"

[Mojo Man!!!]

Seriously! :homestar: KMan, how do you do it? :drool: You must put alot of work into each texture. :blink: Great work! :bouncy:

[Djipi]

ok kman your work is really great!!!!!!!!!
a realize soon maybe?

...I cant see how thats OOT.. simply amazing work of art dont ever stop. Would look like a Gamecube game if it wasnt for the low polycount.

Yeah. Stupid polygons.

[Amon_Knives]

I had some time so I worked on the stairs. These stairs appear many other places besides Ganon's castle as well. I've also finally been able to find the floor texture and I've shown that as well. When I find more time, I'll start working my way up the inside of the castle.

[EmuFan]

That is friggin AMAZING!!!

oh! sorry about the posts. have little experience about forums and all..

[Amon_Knives]

I've finally started working on the dirt trails. It seems that the ones in Fed's pack don't even appear in game, so you guys might want to fix it. I've done small work on the dirt trails and before I continue, I would like to know what you think Fed, or anyone else.

[KMan]

The dirt trails I made turned out ot only apply to the trails at hyrule castle.

[Federelli]

Suprise surprise :D

<b>DOWNLOAD 0.17 HERE! (http://hires.emutalk.net/zeldaoot/Federelli_Kman_Retexture_Pack_v0.17.rar)</b>

[Googol]

The link doesn't work, Federelli. :plain:

[Federelli]

It does :)

[Tate6566]

its not working for me either

[Federelli]

It is working for me (???)

[_pm_]

Yeah, it's working for me too. :)
Guys, I suggest you try again later or use a download manager. Or, if you are using one, try disabling it. HTH

Looks great to me. I've been extremely impressed with what you have done Amon. Not one thing you have released I don't like.
Keep up the good work everyone!

[Amon_Knives]

works for me...YAY, v0.17 IS FINALLY OUT!!!

[Amon_Knives]

Anyone else notice that some of the things KMan showed us in pictures aren't in the pack (like Gohma, eye switch, and Deku tree wall and floor)?

Also, check it out neo64, your shooting gallery wood applies to several other places as well.

EDIT#1: Thanks rpg, I really appreciate the support. I've still got more to go on the trails (tiling is hell). More to come on ganon's castle as well.

[Amon_Knives]

Why the heck am I doing three posts in a row. I dunno. Things just come up I suppose. I worked on most of the items in the subscreen and even the arrow mixes in the c buttons. Take a look. I only did this because it wasn't in Fed's new pack.

[EmuFan]

whoa.... that is AMAZING! Great work Amon!!

[JinXD]

Works for me :D

[Djipi]

I have start to remake one of my favorite temple "FIRE TEMPLE"
This is just the beginning but i will make ALL this temple
Enjoy !

[EmuFan]

Great work Djipi! :happy:

[EmuFan]

I also think that the Fire Temple is one of the most realistic places in Ocarina of Time

[Amon_Knives]

great work, djipi. but the keyhole looks a little off. I love the statues by the way.

[Mojo Man!!!]

This is how I did my menu screen. :icecream:

[rpg]

great work, djipi. but the keyhole looks a little off. I love the statues by the way.

yah, maybe just a little too shiny and new. Try making it look a little "older". Dirty it up a bit. It has been there for hundreds of years you know...

[Amon_Knives]

This is how I did my menu screen. :icecream:

Hmmm, that doesn't look a thing like the kokiri sword. Other than that, good. By now I guess everyone has guessed that everyone who has made an item subscreen basically uses the same images. Since no one else has, I'm gonna post my work on the items (which has no "unuseable item" pictures and only most of the items and equipment and no spiritual stones) so others can add on to that and finish it. So for me, it's back to the castle (Ganon's castle that is).

[Mojo Man!!!]

Hmmm, that doesn't look a thing like the kokiri sword.
Isn't that the beauty of it all. :happy: What you like can be different from what I like and we can both be happy, plus I don't have the skills to make it from scratch. :P Keep up the work Amon!

[Amon_Knives]

That is a very valid point.

[Kolano]

Um, Amon. Seems like many of your items have parts cut off. :(

[Zeytok]

ok, I've done the english dump pack... :party:

btw, with the 0.17 release, i see that words in options menu is already done but don't work in european version

btw, i use the (E) (V1.1) [!] version

[KMan]

Alright. I've put all of my files up as one download now. They are all in one place now as there were a number of the older textures that had to have their file name changed, as well as various other tweaks. I wasn't able to finish all of the deku tree (some pieces I could not find), so I'm going to hold off on doing any more on it.

KMan Retexure Pack 0.1 (6.25MB) (http://hires.emutalk.net/zeldaoot/loz_toot_kman01.rar)

[Federelli]

I'll ready 0.18 in a few minutes :D

[Mojo Man!!!]

The Man... The Myth... The Legend...
Truer words were never spoken! :cheers:

Go Federelli! :matrix:

[Federelli]

Jesus this thing groes so big...

Anyway i tried to categorize the textures as best as i could, i had a hard time though, so i might've messed it up somwhere, please check if everything is correct please.

[Amon_Knives]

Um, Amon. Seems like many of your items have parts cut off. :(

Hmmm, they do? Soryy to say, I can't fix them, I'm currently working on the castle staircases as we speak. Maybe you can find someone else's pack of it, like I said, basically everyone who has made it uses the same pictures for it.

But it's just I'm the only one with textures of the fire/ice/light arrow combos once you activate them to a c button and I have added more color to the magic spells. :P

[Mojo Man!!!]

Here are the ones I've made.
Hope you like them! :happy:

[Amon_Knives]

I must admit KMan, I love your new water textures better than my own. I have even deleted mine. Keep it up! Don't ever stop!!!
And Fed, I noticed you used my fire/ice/light arrow c button combos. I may sound weird, but, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! (at least they look like mine) lol

[Zeytok]

Great 0.18 release :)

But 3 names file are duplicated :

1)THE LEGEND OF ZELDA#840EAC57#4#1_rgb.png
not the same textures...

2)"THE LEGEND OF ZELDA#7ADB99C8#0#3_all.png"
it's the boomerang, the gray ones must be rename :
"THE LEGEND OF ZELDA#2B4116BA#0#3_all.png"

3)"THE LEGEND OF ZELDA#E33D51A8#3#2_all.png"
simply duplicate

[Drac]

excellent work :bouncy:

[Amon_Knives]

hmmm, hasn't KMan worked on the Kokiri houses? if he has, are they in the pack?

EDIT #1: For some reason, a lot of the new textures aren't loading onto the game. Anyone else have this problem?

[j234]

Loads of the textures are not loading in my game. Grass in Hyrule Field, most of the items, map in menu etc. won't load. I also don't get the hearts, but ive never got them in any of te packs

I'm using a Ricevideo6.1.1 Beta 10, Catalyst 5.4 drivers, pixel shader mode in options (using a Radeon 9800pro) and ocarina of time v1.2

Does anyone have any ideas of how to get this to work?

[Federelli]

The only textures i can't get to load are the map textures and the ones from haunted wasteland, i've already asked for someone to help me get the correct dumps, but noone did :).

And Amon, i haven't used any of your textures (which ones are you talking about?)

[Federelli]

Thanks for those dupes Zeytok :), you've been really usefull. (have you checked the readme file? :))

[Zeytok]

I just re-download the pack because my HD was crashed (lost about 80 GB data include my french and german Zelda dumps :bye3: )
Just english dump are safe.

:happy: this "thanks" gives me the moral one :bouncy:

[adventureFAN]

I have your german dump ;)
I want it?

[Federelli]

I got all text tumps you sent me, don't worry :).

I've already done evey Title screen in English, i'll update the pack today, and split language files in two packs

[Zeytok]

i don't speak about little dump pack but about ALL dump that rice plugin does in a complete game party... about 50000 files in 70 MB...

[Amon_Knives]

And Amon, i haven't used any of your textures (which ones are you talking about?)

I am talking about these, the first is the one from my pack earlier and the second is the one in your pack. Other than that, the others that look like mine could just be using the same pictures I used, but I created this one by scratch along with the fire and light.
Another example of what's not loading is Link's new mouth and ear textures.

[KMan]

I'm using a Ricevideo6.1.1 Beta 10, Catalyst 5.4 drivers, pixel shader mode in options (using a Radeon 9800pro) and ocarina of time v1.2


They are showing up fine for me, as I'm only using ocarina of time v1.0

[Tene]

They are showing up fine for me, as I'm only using ocarina of time v1.0

Version difference between 1.0 & 1.2 shouldn't have any effect either, with OoT v1.2 I get exactly the same textures loading as I do with OoT v1.0 & MQ.

[Zeytok]

Amon_Knives: sorry to say you that, but I have just reinstall the pack (0.18) and the bow texture that you say, is not present...

[Amon_Knives]

Amon_Knives: sorry to say you that, but I have just reinstall the pack (0.18) and the bow texture that you say, is not present...

Yeah, I just kinda realized that after my post. Apparently, When I tried to delete the one before to install .18, I didn't delete the "subscreen" folder. So I was basically looking at my same textures. Sorry for the spam everyone. Sorry Fed.

[Djipi]

I Have Finish all "Fire Temple" Texture!!
Here's shots!!

[Amon_Knives]

I Have Finish all "Fire Temple" Texture!!
Here's shots!!

Hmmm, I hate to say this, but it basically looks like you just raised the resolution then added the same stone filter effect over and over again over the top of each layer. It also looks too flat, it needs a little depth.

[zorbid]

Hmmm, I hate to say this, but it basically looks like you just raised the resolution then added the same stone filter effect over and over again over the top of each layer. It also looks too flat, it needs a little depth.

Who cares about the method used, as long as the result looks good (and it does IMO) It may be possible to make better textures, but Djipi's screenshots look more than decent.

[tenshin2002]

When I unpack the Fed 0.18 i get the Legend of zelda folder, but it contains subfolders. Are they supposed to be in that structure or should I put all the images of all subfolders to the Legend of zelda folder? I´m asking because i dont get high res on the grass of the Hyrule field, but i do get high res on the grass in Links village. Also the text when speaking is not high res.

[NickBFTD]

textures will load from subfolders they are organised into folders to make them easier to manage.

anything that isn't high res is more than likely still to be done as its a WIP.

[Federelli]

The grass in Hyrule isn't done, why would you expect it to appear? :P

[porjay]

Who cares about the method used, as long as the result looks good (and it does IMO) It may be possible to make better textures, but Djipi's screenshots look more than decent.

Well the method does matter because it reflects on the work.. :whistling

Anyway in the end Amon is correct. Diji plz man keep working on Paper Mario you were doing a mad job on that the other guy is sorta messing up your work.

[floopy]

Fed's been hanging around the Triforce too long.
Now he's Tri-posting. :)

[Amon_Knives]

Fed's been hanging around the Triforce too long.
Now he's Tri-posting. :)

lol, yeah.

I have finished my hyrule field grass of my work, long time ago acually. I'll wait and see what Fed comes up with before I start making comparisons, i mean, look how KMan shot down my water texture with his even better water texture.

Just as reference, this is an old pic of my hyrule grass texture.

[Djipi]

And now the stone it's ok?

[Mireneye]

Your doing a wonderful job with the game. Tell me, whats the highest resolution a Texture can be in the plugins case ?

[Amon_Knives]

And now the stone it's ok?

Definately more depth. Very good. Keep it up Djipi.

EDIT#1: Ok, this has really been anoying me. As I work on ganon's castle I see all my items hires, all the world hires, but the A button that says attack and put away and open, the words are all low res. Fed since you do that stuff, could you please do that then add it for the next release when it's ready?

[Jokke_r]

IMO thats way too deep, it's a floor texture for gods sake, floors are supposed to be flat not bumpy, overuse of filters like that and adding depth makes it look really bad imo, it was better before but already then it was overdone imo.

The enemy of good is better

[ScottJC]

Floors are flat? look at the floor you have in real life, there is much more detail to them than you give them credit.

[rpg]

Since the fire temple is pretty much completely made of stone, I would say keep the depth. The floor pieces are just large chunks of stone anyway. It's also a change from the rest of the game's floors.

[rpg]

Also if anyone wants to dump and pack up all of the location maps, I can HQ4x, touch up and upload them. Just PM me and I can give you en email address. I have some free time here and a friend and I could whip through them pretty quickly. Any other UI elements need finishing?

[Zeytok]

ok, all locations maps ;)

Doesn't look that deep. A good rocky look to it is really what it needs, but an overdose of the same filter over and over again is bad, I must admit. Let's hope Djipi adds more variaty.

[Federelli]

Ok, i've made the action text :). Will release 0.19 soon

[Djipi]

I have Finish!! :happy:

[Djipi]

And this is the last word of the temple:
"VOLCANIA"

[Djipi]

and the screen lol

[KMan]

Looks like you found the plastic wrap filter.

Question- why do you post the same thing in two threads? It's a bit redundant, and annoying.

[porjay]

i personally don't like djipi's fire temple. I feel its just quick filters used on a texture. I personally couldn't do a better job but i dunno kman or someone thinking about hi-def textures?

[Amon_Knives]

i personally don't like djipi's fire temple. I feel its just quick filters used on a texture. I personally couldn't do a better job but i dunno kman or someone thinking about hi-def textures?

I only half agree with you (mainly because I like the ones that don't look like filters i.e. the statues). So let this be a lesson learned to all texturers: No quick filters, people will notice and it never makes it look good.
Djipi, I see talent, and I like some of the non filtered out textures you have made, but please, take your time on some things. Just like with Fed and KMan, "good things come to those who wait"...and if you don't wait, you don't get what you want....BTW way Djipi, google is your friend...lol.

Also, Fed and KMan, I still can't figure out how to get a lot of the new textures to load. It may not be a problem with the pack, but is there a way I can fix it?

[Djipi]

ok now i only post in my thread

[Federelli]

Talent?
I see plastic wrap and grain

I'd really aprecciate it if a mod could clean this thread, and remove useless posts.

[Djipi]

ok sorry for "useless" works!!!!!

[Emu&Co]

I think it looks very good. Keep up your good work.

[Djipi]

Ok just a little word! I have start a new zelda project !
This is my first work

[Im Bored]

i really love that cartoony fire look.

[rpg]

Anyone want to test this out for me and take a screen shot? I am editing blind here and would love to see the final map output before I do the last couple.

HQ4x is great, but requires a lot of cleanup depending on the image. It has trouble with sharp corners, and needs a little bit of manual modification. I tried to stick as close to the original as possible. Where pieces are sharp, they are sharp. Where smooth, they are smooth.

Fed, any thoughts? Oh, and what do we think about the shadows? I tried a very minimal 4 pixel drop, but it is hard to get it perfect with the transparency.

[Zeytok]

look like that...

Just my little opinion, it can look better if the features can be finer (as on the hyrule castle maps)

[KMan]

I wouldn't go off of that (bottom image) one though. That (bottom image) one took a bit of time to make. It wasn't a simple filter procedure. I had to lay down some paths to create the lines, set up the tones for the areas, and then go in and adjust some of the corners that needed to be sharp. It wouldn't be the best way to go to redo all of them.

You want to say that hq4x is not the good way and it's better to redone all maps mamually ? (sorry, my english is too bad to easy understood)

EDIT: ok, understood now... but line is very big with hq4x filter

[rpg]

Yah Kman, I figured that one took a bit of time. Redoing these all by hand would take hours, and wouldn't look that much different from an hqx one.

I had applied a slight gaussian to the image to smooth some of the color differentiations a tad, but I wasn't sure how it would come out on the real thing. Try this one, its much better when the map is sharper.

[EDIT]I also think my external black highlight may be a little to thick. The one on the right is just two pixels. I think this matches better.

[Clements]

Ideally, the maps ought to be done from scratch. The hq filters aren't too good at filtering some of the gradients (look at the Deku Tree in the map, looks really bad) and the outline is not as smooth as a remade texture, but bumpy. Hq filtered maps will do for the time being though as they are quicker to produce.

[Amon_Knives]

Talent?
I see plastic wrap and grain

I'd really aprecciate it if a mod could clean this thread, and remove useless posts.

I know, I see that too. I admit. I was just trying to be nice.

I acually think the "useless" posts just give this thread a more community feeling in itself. I hardly ever go to any of the others. lol. BTW Djipi, we aren't trying to be mean, we were just being brutally honest. That keese fire really gives it a type of Wind Waker feeling to it. Maybe you could start a whole new project making it look cel shaded like WW. Just a thought.

So, in order to not make this a useless post, I'll give you people an update: My motherboard is being repaired, but I saved my stuff on an external hard drive and I'm working on it on a separate computer. Since my friends computer doesn't have the rom or an emulator, I can't post a screen. I have finished the hallway where the bats are and the other external hallways, and I must say, they are looking pretty good (but some of the textures I have been working blind with). As soon as I get the new motherboard I'll post pics and hopefully be done with the rooms where you fight the iron knuckles and others.

Hq filtered maps will do for the time being though as they are quicker to produce.

Actually, the only map that really needs fixing out of all 23 is the deku tree. Most all of the other maps turn out excellent with hq filtering and a bunch of touchups because they don't have complex gradients like the tree base. The deku tree gradient is especially tough though because even the original was a big mess. This may need to be recreated manually.

The thing that is nice about the hq though is that it is almost identical in scale and piece location to the original map. Since it is a map, it kind of has to stay the same. Hand made variations may have slightly different pixel variations, but really aren't worth the time of recreation. The best of both worlds I think is a template based off of the hgx filtered version.

Talent?
I see plastic wrap and grain

I'd really aprecciate it if a mod could clean this thread, and remove useless posts.

And does the word 'talent' describe your efforts mate?
The way I see it, like djipi, you have just another project in the making. Nothing much to click into and keep updated on. You should thank Kman for the popularity of this thread.
In my opinion, it's like night and day between his stuff and anyone else's so stop getting so jealous and defensive whenever someone post's in 'your' thread because they're just trying to contribute and a friendly manner.

[Zeytok]

In my opinion, ...
I agree, it's your opinion!

it's not a jealousy question, simply no need double post (one here and one in Djipi's thread)

if I use your reasoning : why not speak about other game hires here...

it's simply for make a clear thread

What crawled up your a$$? Sure, Fed gets defensive of this thread every once in a while, but there is no need to bash him. I have nothing but respect for both Fed and KMan. Sure he doesn't like to add others work into the pack, and he sometimes overreacts, but don't we all. I'm gonna say now QUIT SPAMMING!!! If you don't like his work, don't go bashing him, ever hear of constructive critisism. I'm very opinionated and Fed is also, from what I can see. I entirely agree with Fed about this. Some mod needs to come in here and clean up the useless posts like yours, hoju, and this one. (I admit I am responsible for some of the spamming in this thread.)

I only agree with the part about KMan, we should thank him, but we should also thank Fed for bringing him in and continue to make the non-world textures, despite his downcomings. If you don't like Fed or Djipi, don't come here, there is no room for people that say s*** without saying how the person can improve it. SO CAN WE PLEASE GET BACK TO THE ENTIRE POINT OF THIS THREAD!!!!

Fed, don't listen to this guy, your help here is appreciated, at least from me.

[ryanraab]

Sticky Amon_Knivess' post please mods.

[Amon_Knives]

Alright, let's get back to normal here.

My friend was able to obtain an emulator and I had my things saved on a disc, so I'm back in buisness, at least for however long he let's me stay on his computer till tomorrow afternoon. Here are the pics I talked about earlier.

EDIT#1: OK, the door is a little over the top, but it certainly looks interesting, huh?

[mongo51983]

Sweet pics!!! I can't wait for a release!

[porjay]

Wowsers Amon thats the kind of work i expect for a remaster texture project I can't wait for that to be released. :icecream:

[V-King]

Wow, Amon!
That door is absolutely AWESOME! I like that glittering thing on the gold parts of he door :)

And also those stone walls are really cool.

The only things I kinda dislike are the carpet and the torch.

The carpet looks somehow like an old street painted red and the torch is somehow...strange...I can't say exactly but I do not really like it. Sorry. :(

But everything else is really good.

I think Fed should take your textures you already made for Ganon's Castle and put them in his pack ;)

[Federelli]

Amon, while your work is somewhat impressive, it's not what i'm after. I want higher quality work, such as Kman's.

I'll be a critic now, and tell you what's wrong with your textures :). Take it just as advice.
They are flat, and it's pretty easy to tell that the texture is being repeated constantly. You should try to make it so that you can't tell that the same texture is being repeated all the time.
They also like continuity. It seems like you used photosourced textures in your work. Don't, since realism is not the way to go with things that are seen all the time, specialy with rock walls.
If you'd like to make every single item, i'll be glad to include it in my pack (gray versions as well). Just make sure to make the drop shadow exactly the same for very item. Check my Ocarina to get it as equal as possible

HoJu, suck my balls :).

Djipi, looks like it's from Wind Waker :).

Rpg, i'll gladly accept every map remade simply by applying 4xhq to them.

[Mojo Man!!!]

LOL; :teehee: somebody likes google image search, eh? (has the same texture from google) Nice work. I like the door, but the carpet could use some work though.
I think you all are doing a great job. :bouncy: For all those who think they can do better, shut-up and show us! Eveybody lighten-up! We all have different tastes and standards. While Kman does all his from scratch and they look awesome, it takes a long time for him to get textures done. Djipi gets alot done, but some would say his textures aren't good enough. Federelli is somewhere in between and from what I understand doesn't like stolen textures. No one can make everybody happy, so if you don't like the textures don't use them! That's just my two cents. :icecream:

[CoffeeandTV]

Excellent work Fed and Kman, but can we please get a little more serious and less child-like in this thread. Your work is good, but it isn't perfect. Try to show at least a little kindness to those who try.

Thanks, keep up the good work.

[Clements]

The only texture I think looks out of place is the Stone of Agony subscreen replacement, since it's a picture of a real rumble pack, while the actual item is a stone shaped like a rumble pak - like the model:

Alas, it is true. I can tell as well that they are being repeated constantly, but I think I have recently found something to fix that.

I recently got in touch with the man who taught me how to use photoshop, and he took a look at this thread to see my work. He told me almost exactly what you said (only pointed out a few other things I need to improve on). He hooked me up with several plugins (one by the name of "seamless tiles") and told me a few techniques. Because of these, I am going back to the front of ganons castle and redoing the repetative tiles, mainly. When I post progress again, expect it to look seamless and a little more 3d looking. :P

As for the door, expect it to look really kicka$$ by the time I'm done as well. As for the items, no thanks, I'm not that good at those, plus I enjoy making world textures too much.

BTW, Fed, thank you for your critique, strange as it may sound, I like to know if people have ideas on how to improve anything I do.

[Kerber2k]

I love this sense of community withen the thread here...but I think it should just contain Kman and Feds work. Perhaps a Zelda Community re-texturing thread should be erected. I mean no disrespect to others posting their work here, and yes I said erect :paperbag:

[rpg]

Fed: Almost done with all of the maps. Some of the more complex ones have alot of touch ups due to the way hq4x plays with right angles.

Are we sure there are only 23 maps? Seems like there has to be a lot more areas than that.

Oh also, I have played around with fixing the one map that has a gradient. I'm toying with something like this for the giant deku tree. I'm trying to keep it as similar to what the original map looked like, which is a 96x62 pixel mess. lol

[Mojo Man!!!]

Would there be any way to change the triangles that show your position/point of entrance? Or are those not textures. :huh:
rpg, I think you should take it a step further and add even more detail such as replace the tree houses with a smaller version of the deku tree. That's my take on it.

[rpg]

i am doing a little experimentation and am on the fence about this. this might be a little difficult as parts of the map are intentionally left blank to show the borders and such. there is always the problem of going overboard. I love the fact that this is nothing more than a simple replica of hyrule. it's also very tough to texturize on such a small scale and have it not look messy.

Its definitely do-able. Using the magic wand and adding or subtracting from the selection you can isolate for example a path or water. from here you can use the healing brush to blend in a gradient or pattern. you also have to take in to account that this is being displayed in tones of green. green textured grass may look great, but what about rocks, water, houses? my gut feeling is to just keep it simple, but let me play around and see what I can do. we might be able to jazz it up a little while still keeping close to the original.

[Kerber2k]

My shrubery.

[Zeytok]

rpg: yeah, I can certify you that "only" 23 area are.

btw, i've find almost all dungeon maps (not the sub-screen ones) about 188. and i search a easy (but good) way to redone all...

[Zeytok]

not textures!

[FunkyPoopMonkey]

I just signed up to say that this is an AMAZING project. Also those shrubs are lookin pretty fine too. I'm just curious though if textures in my game are not displaying. I'm using the newest rice, the newest texture pack from this thread, and project 64. And I'm seeing high rez textures in these images of the items in the menu screen and such, and I don't seem to have any of these. Just the default sword icon and a few others. Is this normal? And are there other zelda packs out there that you guys used in combination with this one?

[Kerber2k]

Fed and K-man are currently working on their project, and this is their thread. I just like to post my ramblings here, and so do others who work on Zelda. Whatevers here posted by others will most likely be re-done by somone better. Kman :D

[FunkyPoopMonkey]

Yeah I read through some of the thread and saw the things KMan posted. The guy is amazing. If only he could clone himself into 10 people, he could remake OoT into the best looking zelda ever in no-time.

Oh and another question. If the entire game ever does get 100% retextured in 4x scale, like it seems to be planned, will a 128MB Radeon 9800 with 64MB VRam Aperture be enough to store all these textures and retain smooth gameplay?

By the way I would love to help with the project, but I have no idea what sections are being worked on currently. I want to dive into something that wont be for waste. I was thinking that some kind of texture database would help keep this project extremely organized and effecient. Someone could make an html page with a big database of every texture in the game, the image of the original and an image of the new (if available), with boxes for any additional info, and a check box indicating if the new texture is considered a final product. What does everyone think?

[Kerber2k]

I think this would be a decent idea, but it would only work if Kman and Fed actually used it to their advantage. I assume they are using their own sort of organization methods anyhow.

[FunkyPoopMonkey]

Well if they are, they need to share their methods, so other people can contribute. This shouldn't be just a 2-man show.

[Kerber2k]

Fed will be the judge of that :D

[ragnor]

Kerber, you planning on putting your png for the shrubs up? They're lookin pretty sweet, and the shrubs were actually the main thing that's been driving me nuts in Kokiri Forest, glad to see someone redid em with the quickness. Looks pretty damn good... I'd like to leech it hardcore style, if you could put it up =D

And just a few comments on the whole demeaning banter... I think it's silly to just shoot someone down, like Djipi, just because they're ameteur. He states that his is ameteur, not a work like Fed or KMan, so what's the point in degrading him further? Yeah, he's a foreigner, and his command of the english language warrants a little more practice on his part... But I think the point is that the whole Zelda retexturing community kicks ass, and his stuff is really just filler until someone implements something better (which seems to happen often in this thread :P ). Let's face it: No one is doing the high-caliber work that Kman and Fed are, but unenhanced N64 games are so LQ, they make my eyes want to bleed.

Thank you all for kicking ass and releasing these textures to us, because seriously... The new iterations of Zelda have been lacking, and being able to come back to a game I loved, but have it be up to waaaaaay higher standards is beautiful. Thanks again, guys, for sharing your talent.

[FunkyPoopMonkey]

Well put. I finally read through the entire thread, and I did notice quite a lot of newbie bashing. If someone successfully replaces a texture in their game, and shows us a screenshot, don't make fun of them or viciously shoot them down. Because when they accomplish this, it shows 2 things:

1) They are in fact NOT a newbie
2) They have a geniune motivation to help the project

It doesn't matter if their work is currently low quality, or it doesn't fit with the game's style. Just go easy on them, give them subtle advice, and you will be surprised how quickly they will come back with improved results. The more negativity in this project, the less of a chance we have of it ever being completed.


Also, I'm 100% sure that most of my textures are NOT loading. When the game starts up, it flies through maybe 50 textures in 2 seconds, then the rom plays. Thats not even close to the full set.

[Federelli]

Got a good room? I Doubt it :)

As retexturing, try the graveyard, kakariko village...

Kerber, that bush would look great, though, could you darken the area where it meets the floor?

[rpg]

rpg: yeah, I can certify you that "only" 23 area are.

btw, i've find almost all dungeon maps (not the sub-screen ones) about 188. and i search a easy (but good) way to redone all...


Great. Got them all done then.

Can you post a few of the dungeon maps? I would love to have a look a them. I would also love to look at the subscreen ones as well.

[Shibb]

Amon_Knives could you put together a texture pack, because your textures are honestly amazing, i havent searched the whole thread 50+ pages, but it would be sweet. also you and kman should get together cuz he also seems talented in texturing and make a separate thread for oot texture mod?

[Kerber2k]

This is as close as I can get to the original. sry about the big pictures ;p I have insane resolutions.

[FunkyPoopMonkey]

Got a good room? I Doubt it :)

You mean rom? Yes I do. I downloaded OOT 1.0 twice. Both checksums matched. I also have 1.2. All my roms have the [!] and [U]. So what are the secret settings to make all the textures load? I checked the "load hi-rez textures" button in rice's textures tab. What now?

[mongo51983]

Sweet job on the shrubs they look very clean.

Thank you, but Kman is wayyy ahead of me. I'm perfectly fine where I am. I don't plan on relesing the ganon's castle pack until I finish up with all the rooms. I'm going one room at a time, but I hoped I could post some progress pics today. The final pack (I plan) should be ready for the next week sometime.

Fed, I used the new techniques I learned (though I'm not sure they helped much, it got confusing) so I would like you to tell me what you think needs improvement now. The new walls were created from scratch by my my mentor, so I cannot take credit for that part of this. Tell me waht you think. :P

[Kerber2k]

You should make that Red Gem on the wall look more like a gem otherwise look pretty good.

[Amon_Knives]

You should make that Red Gem on the wall look more like a gem otherwise look pretty good.

Like this? I also fixed another part too.

[Djipi]

just to show you my progress

[ragnor]

Sweet, the red carpet no longer looks like ganon's interior decorator vomited on asphault! Seriously, man, it's coming along really nice... I like the changes you made a whole lot... the WIP of the castle is getting really close to a final product.

[rpg]

Here are the 23 hi-rez maps. If someone has a chance to test them out and report back to me that would be great. Just PM me with any errors or messed up parts.
