[MuhMuh]

Hi there!

I decided to stop this project.
I dont have time for this and I don't get that much help. Also, there seems to be another Majora's Mask retexturing project with realistic textures by Djipi, so it's not worth to keep on working.
For the ones, who liked my work or want my work for their Packs, I uploaded them to rapidshare.de.

http://rapidshare.de/files/7758942/MuhMuh_s_Majoras_Maskt_Retexture.rar.htm l
How to download & use:
1. Scroll down and press the "Free"-Button
2. Wait 26 seconds
3. Download the file
4. Extract the Rar-file and move the folder "ZELDA MAJORA'S MASK" to EMULATOR\plugin\hires_texture\
5. Load them with an Majoras Mask rom (I use Legend of Zelda 2, The - Majora's Mask (E) (M4)) and the latest Rice Video Plugin.

I hope you enjoy it, though it's not very well retextured and almost no area is complete.

:bouncy: :bye3: :happy:

[neo64]

Wow!

[scareCrow]

that looks awesome.

[V-King]

That looks pretty good, although the walls and floors look more like CelShading imo.
You should put more depth in those textures, if you know what I mean ;)

(sprich: Rillen und so. Du verstehst mich ja ^^)

Is it better now?

(Wieso denn Rillen ôo?)

[Shibb]

ey i dont play mm much, but im bored and lookin for a project to do ill try to do some work on this, good looks on what you did tho

[MuhMuh]

Ok, then let's work together. On what area do you want to work? I'm working on the Clock Town outside.

[ryanraab]

Shibb and MuhMuh I wish you luck.

[_pm_]

Great work MuhMuh :)

[Extreme184X]

Dats Wats up!

[Shibb]

im going to toy with some stuff, ill post my work in the next few days

[V-King]

Is it better now?

(Wieso denn Rillen ôo?)

Yeees, that's much better :)

(Rillen, weil...naja, im Boden und so...Damit es gepflastert aussieht :P )

[MuhMuh]

I remade one more area of Clock town and i played around with Link's face.
Well, this screenshot doesn't show that much, but i wanted to show the Spongebob-face, because i think it's very funny.
If anyone wants this Spongebob-face, i can upload it. :>

[Codexing]

ICK! Sponge-Bob!!!
HELP! I hate that guy!
Is it even possible for me to spend a completely "Sponge-Bob-free" day???
Even if he's not seen that much in Spain, I really loathe seeing him every summer in the USA!! Please! Get that face out of my view!!!! HE'S GONNA TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!
.
..
...

Few....now....
Those textures look great, MuhMuh!
Majora's Mask already had some neat graphics, but looks like you're prepared to make this game look wonderful!
I wish you and Shibb good luck with this project.......possibly without Sponge-Bobs as enemies... :bunny:

Back to the topic, the textures look great, I wouldn't mind if you uploaded that Spongebob face.

[ragnor]

Hey muhmuh... what happened to the fairy temple stuff you did for OOT? You ever gonna let us d/l that? The original one feels like razors on my cornea. Speaking of which, anyone wanna de-uglify the fairy queens?

[MuhMuh]

I use them for this majora's mask pack. ;)
I think i'll show some more screenshots this sunday.

[MuhMuh]

Hum... What do you think about these bushes?

[Glenbo]

i think you should use the orcarina of times bushes that keber made in feds topic....they look cleaner...less cabbage like lol...i think the majoras mask producers took a backwards step with this game...alehought the graphics look cleaner and more colourful...they lack the realism of oot,...that was so amazing back in 1998

[LinkTheHero]

i agree with you

[ragnor]

hmm... I think these bushes look good. They look like fern, more, but I think that was the idea with MM.

[V-King]

Hum... What do you think about these bushes?
I don't like these bushes. They look plain filtered and stuff.

(Übersetzung: Die sehen aus, als obs einfach nur n Filter ist, oder ein einziges Blatt kopiert, eingefügt und in die entsprechenden Richtungen gedreht.)

I agree with Glenbo. Just ask keber if you may use his bush textures :)

[Extreme184X]

Bushes Look Great. Stick with those bushes. they look awesome.

[Psychotoad]

I didn't like keber's bushes either, but they sure were better than these...

[Glenbo]

i always thought thta the bushes just dont look right in either of the n64 games...i thought that back in 1998...they look outta place...dunno what the windwakers ones look like cos i never played it(cant wait for a emu that will play it)....but i think kebers are the best bet..not that your are bad...just that the majoras mask ones look bad imho

[Kerber2k]

Bushes looked better in the SNES Zelda I thought. :)

[ragnor]

hahaha
yeah, i think this is an irelevancy, really. Since generally the idea is to stick close to the original, you should probably just try to make a sweet version of the original MM version. And Iwould venture to say that this looks much better than the original. Maybe play around with it a little, if you aren't satisfied yet.

[MuhMuh]

I really don't like the bushes of Kerber. And I also dont like the original ones.
So i made new ones. What do you think about these?
On darker ground they look better.

[Glenbo]

yeh pretty cool...but they look sorta cel shaded

[MorpheusEternal]

I dunno about you lot, but I've just finished watching a horror movie, and a face like that apeears... I find this picture DEEPLY unsettling!!! LOL!!!

I remade one more area of Clock town and i played around with Link's face.
Well, this screenshot doesn't show that much, but i wanted to show the Spongebob-face, because i think it's very funny.
If anyone wants this Spongebob-face, i can upload it. :>

[V-King]

Sorry MuhMuh, but I don't like these bushes either.
They look better than the ones before but as Glenbo said, they look kinda cel-shaded.
I know, that it's hard to make textures like these from scratch but the time will come when you will understand how you could do things like that ;)

[Kerber2k]

Bushes in Zelda are really hard to do simply because you cant have that much information on the space given withen the leaves and such. I dunno about your stance on keeping the textures close to the original, but when I see the bush texture in zelda oot no matter how crappy the original looked it served its purpose as a bush. I assume the same applies for MM. Try visualizing how you want it to look before you start making it from scratch. If you use photoshop just use a diffrent layer and draw on top of the original to get a feel for what your going for. If it feels flat use tools to lighten and darken areas to make it feel realistic.

[Ali G.]

l love bushes of all kind:D

ooh yeah!

[MuhMuh]

I added more detail, now they don't look that cell-shaded anymore.
Somehow, in Game they look much better than on the screenshots...

And one last time: I HATE THE ORIGINAL BUSHES :yucky:

[Glenbo]

lol...i dunno..i just dont like any of the bushs...the floor is flat...wheras in modern games they have grass and are bumpy...so they look outta place in the game no matter what tey look like

[MuhMuh]

lol...i dunno..i just dont like any of the bushs...the floor is flat...wheras in modern games they have grass and are bumpy...so they look outta place in the game no matter what tey look like
On Termina field they match 100%,because the ground is darker there. But i don't want to show it now. :D

[Glenbo]

cool

[Amon_Knives]

On Termina field they match 100%,because the ground is darker there. But i don't want to show it now. :D

well, you still need to make one that matches perfectly everywhere and not just one place.

[mongo51983]

Is it just me or do the graphics in Majora's Mask look a lot better than the ones used in Ocarina of Time.

[Toast Siege]

That makes sense. Majora's Mask was one of the two games to require the N64 "Expansion Pak" which was really just an additional 4MB of RAM that you would need to insert into your console to play either Majora's Mask or Donkey Kong 64. This extra RAM allowed for things like higher screen resolution, and, certainly, textures that were greater in quality. Also, even though OoT and MM share the same engine, they were released two years apart, with MM coming out just a day before Playstation 2.

[Googol]

Perfect Dark used it too, for solo missions.
Anyway, good job on the textures. When is a pack going to be released?

[MuhMuh]

I'll reale it when i finished the clock town outside.Then I'll work on the Inside and after that on Termina field.

[Googol]

Cool.

[MuhMuh]

I need help! I dunno what font i should use for the letters. I don't have any good ones on my pc :(

[V-King]

Try something like Garamond. A font with fine serifs.
Or try san-serif fonts like Verdana, Arial or Tahoma. Whichever letter looks best. ;)

(In German/Auf deutsch: Entweder was wie Garamond (also ein Serifen-Font) oder ein Serifenloser Font wie Verdana, Arial oder Tahoma. Je nachdem, welcher Buchstabe von welchem Font am besten aussieht. ;) )

[Toast Siege]

This thread looks like it's slowed down a bit so here's a bit of a contribution:
My own attempts at retexturing the models have (for the most part) failed so I suppose I'll just stick with two-dimensional images for now (And I'll stay away from Clock Town!). I'll get on making a pack of all my (2D) work very soon, likely within a couple days...

Without further ado!

(Just in case you were wondering...the quiver is an original drawing, and feel free to criticize anything you see here. I do, however, realize that the bomb is far too small. Its 'shadow' is not a texture and can't be altered through simple reinserting of images.)

To MuhMuh - I don't mean to hijack this thread in any way. Keep it up, but please, stay far away from Spongebob in the future, for your own good.

Hmm, that was lots more 'ado...' Well,
Can you spot the difference?

[MuhMuh]

Well Done!
I'm very happy for your help, 'cause this is a real big project.
Can you do all the texts and letters? I can't get anything like this done... x.x
And all the items you can do, and the system images... Here a screenshot of what i mean:
(btw. the spongebob face was just for fun)

[Toast Siege]

Hah, it's very ironic you mentioned that, because almost all of the things you mentioned there I have already done. Actually, I've done most of the items (the official art that you seem to have also found), and some of the drop shadows. I see, however, that you're using that one Kokiri Sword. I didn't really like it so much, and I altered it to make it look more like the 3D sword Link carries around (you may have noticed the heavy jpeg compression, the blade is very blue, among others...) Also I've made an alternate rupee icon - in the lower left - you're using the icon from Wind Waker, aren't you? Anyways, we can decide about that later. Here's a list of things I've already done in terms of retexturing:

-Fairy's Wings texture
-bottom of screen Clock -> the lines that are arranged in a half-circle...you'll see.
-bottom of screen Clock -> the 'diamond' that appears behind the '1st,' '2nd,' 'Final,' images (although it looks like yours says '1.' European version?
-all of the black "Dawn" screens
-Quiver and Kokiri sword icon (in Quest Status subscreen)
-some of the subscreen window backgrounds (not done)
-the square in the Items and Masks subscreen that indicates what you're using
-all of the items that fall to the ground that are dropped by enemies (bombs, arrows, potion)
Actually, there are a few things else that I don't seem to remember.

Anyway, here are the two pieces of the clock that I've done so far.

[ragnor]

hmm. The original text doesn't seem to have had *any* serrifs, v-king. At least from what I see in that pic. The font is decent, but if you could find one that's similar to what you've chosen, but still has the angled cut to the arms... look at the pics you posted to see what I mean. It would just keep it a little more true to the original.

Looks like you've done quite a bit, Toast!

[V-King]

Oh, right, I forgot that area names aren't displayed like they are in OoT.
Sorry 'bout that ;)

Then I'd say, that you use a sans-serif font like the ones I already said.

[MuhMuh]

No! I'm talking about something else.
I mean these letters :

[MuhMuh]

I just finnished the letters. ;D
I have made all german letters, but no french ones. If someone could send them to me, I'd do them.

[Glenbo]

english ones?

[MuhMuh]

english ones?
Lol? I don't have to show an english text to show you the letters.

[MuhMuh]

So i almost finnished. I can't get these letters:
Can somebody tell me how to get them or post them here, so I can copy them?

[V-King]

Erm...call me stupid but can't you just dump these letters them from exactly THIS naming screen? ;)

(Sprich: Kannst du die Textur nicht aus diesem Namenseingabescreen dumpen?)

[Federelli]

Muhmuh once you make a pack with all fonts, i'd be glad if i could use it in my pack.

[Federelli]

Ñ=alt+165
ñ=alt+164
ë=shift+´ e

Open the character map and check for the french C.

[Toast Siege]

^^^Er, I'm not so sure about that font, actually...

english ones?
The German alphabet uses the same letters as the English one. It appears that he's working on the European version, so it will just be a matter of renaming the right letters to fit the USA version. Actually, the English font looks done from that above shot (strange font notwithstanding).


The HUD is mostly done, and right now I'm working on the heart meter (there are 10 different frames for this, because when you get the half-damage upgrade, the heart gets a white border and changes to a different image), so I guess I'll post some progress shots tonight...

MuhMuh: Forget what I said yesterday about that other heart, I fixed it.

[MuhMuh]

Erm...call me stupid but can't you just dump these letters them from exactly THIS naming screen? ;)

(Sprich: Kannst du die Textur nicht aus diesem Namenseingabescreen dumpen?)
I did this, but i don't know how to type in the letters i marked red.

@Fed Of course you can. :P
@Toast Siege I'm shure about it, i love it. xD

[Djipi]

Just give me this letter and i remake it

[MuhMuh]

No thanks Djipi, i found a way to remake them myself.

[Toast Siege]

Hey, I was just playing through the game again, and I thought that these scenes (see attach) could use a little jazzing up.
I, uh, made a few changes... Constructive criticism is welcome (from anyone), but I'm really hoping to include these as is in the final release. Thanks.

(Sorry for the low resolution shots.)

[Amon_Knives]

Haha!!! Nothing worth a final pack, but funy pictures to say the least...HAHA!! Very funny Toast.

[Toast Siege]

Hah, well, it's two days later and no one still seems to notice this thread... MuhMuh, I guess we should get with the releasing of our first pack soon. Until then, though, I'll just post these before and after shots of... well, one scene. (it's substancial though, I promise! More later.)

While this shot is quite recent, there has been additional work on the HUD since this point, and of course, I'm continuing to improve things in concentrated places (for now I'm focusing on the subscreen and the HUD), and I do believe MuhMuh is "finished" with Clock Town. If anyone notices little things like our textures not matching each other, it's likely because it's extemely difficult to contact one another, and we are forced to do almost everything by either e-mail or PMs (damn time zones)... Hopefully this will soon change, but at the moment it is certainly complicating things.

One thing I'd like to add is that we are both entirely serious about this project, lame jokes notwithstanding. The last post I made was from a test, in other words, yes those are real textures, and no I of course do not plan on including them in any of our releases.

So, on to the pictures...
What to look for in the after shot:
rupee; heart meter; sad deku eyes; context button; c-items number font; the items at c-left and c-right; magic meter (that was a test, will definately change); certain parts of the onscreen clock

Nearly everything you can see here is a work-in-progress, so if you don't like something, say so! ...Or else. (Stangely, the after shot has a lower file size than the before)

[Extreme184X]

looking good, their will be alot of feedback once dat pack gets released.

[ragnor]

the clock parts are sexy. One thing about the Deku eyes is that they stand out a bit too much... perhaps some minor softening around the edges, or soemthing like that? They just look a tiny bit TOO stand-outish... perhaps they don't look round enough, or maybe something else... they just seem a little too much like disembodied textures, floating in an abyss of the head. Oh yeah, the c-button stuff looks sweet, man.

[ragnor]

I'm doing a paper on the Origins and the projected future of the Mario and Zelda Franchises. If anyone who retextures on a regular basis could help me out, email me at kronotygre@gmail.com (crossposting between this and the Mario thread, but... w/e)
it's a spam, but meant in the best of ways. Get your name in a paper, and get my ass out of sling! (need an interview as a source)

[MuhMuh]

@ Toast Siege Everything looks wonderful. xD
But I made some Buttons that look much better ( you can see them in my older screenshots). I made the logo yesterday, but it's still WIP. Next week I'm on vacation in croatia, so i won't be able to do anything then.

[neo64]

That looks awesome!!

[Gladiac0190]

That looks awesome!!
YESS... really cool pic ;)... where did you get that great logo from?

[MuhMuh]

There a 2 layers in the game, the mask and the "zelda"writing.
I found the mask in the internet and the "zelda"-thing is scanned from my box...xD

[Federelli]

Try smoothing the borders a bit, and also removing some of the white outline.

[pilm]

This logo is awesome ! :D

[ragnor]

I would say the only thing that needs some touchup is the mask... looks a little... meh, I dunno, I just think it could be a little better.

[Gladiac0190]

I would say the only thing that needs some touchup is the mask... looks a little... meh, I dunno, I just think it could be a little better.
Nah, it's just perfect :D
Maybe the "Majora's Mask"-Text looks a bit... I don't know what it is... but in fact, it doesn't matter, does it? :D

[ragnor]

Well, there are minor white borders, as previously mentioned. And the mask, I personally think could be much more hi-rez. As it is, it looks like a 3d model ripped from the game, and the n64 wasn't really pushing the hottest polys. I think there surely must be a better illustration somewhere available for you to add in. The white borders are minor, but I mean, if you want it to be a final, instead of a WIP, those are my suggestions.

[Googol]

It doesn't look ANYTHING like a 3d model ripped from the game. You would be able to see the polygons, and the texture would be really blocky. No, this is from the official art of the game, and is no way lo-res.

[Federelli]

The logo is perfect besides the things i stated.

[Mojo Man!!!]

I agree with Federelli, just a little more work on the outline and that looks awesome.

[Toast Siege]

I also think that the mask looks a little much like a jpeg or a bad magazine scan (the colours bleed a little), and it could even be more evident at higher resolutions. The letters look pretty good so far, but again, we can't judge how it looks at a resolution of around 1280x960 (where you would be able to see the image's entire detail). As it looks now though, nice work.

[ragnor]

hmm. I was trippin balls. The spikes look bad because of the borders (as stated previously). I was just whining about the aliasing. No, it's not lo-rez, but it's not perfect either. Just helpin with a critique... which has basically boiled down to what Fed said. Shrug.

[ragnor]

muhmuh... come back to us... give us updates! It's so hard to lurk when there are no updates...

[Googol]

Yeah, we haven't gotten a pack yet, so we want to at least SEE what is being done. I'm really looking forward to this pack, the stuff shown is excellent so far.

[Toast Siege]

Hah, sorry about that, but I swear if this project ever dies, the first thing we'll do is post about it here. In other words, no news is good news, eh? (it's not gonna die, if anyone's really worried)

Anyways, the item screen is basically done here (if you'll notice the magical arrows have no shadow, the explanation for that is that the shadows are done, but I have to switch between two computers often and some of my work isn't always on hand when I have to take progress shots). I made sure to make the drop shadows consistent and everything like that, and the grey-ed out items (like the powder keg you can see here) are all done as well. Also, the bottles aren't really done either (and there are like 10 or so variants - milk, 1/2 milk, big poe, mushroom... etc.) Lastly, I will direct your attention to the images used for the C-buttons - I redid these to get a more 'processed' look.


I assume MuhMuh is still absent and unable to give any sort of update, so, you'll just have to do with this.

EDIT: There are actually 18 different bottles, by my count.

[Toast Siege]

So the last post wasn't enough for a single reply in over four days? Anyway, I've heard from MuhMuh since he left as much as the rest of you have, but I'm sure he'll be back soon. Until then, here is another shot. (I realize that I break the tables in almost every post I've made in this thread, but I'll stop if people want me to) What you can see in this picture that is done (since my last appearance):


-rupee counter's numbers, bottom-left: also used for ingame timers and other things.
-every action 'word,' top-right: "every" as far as I know, but I guess there are around 34 used in each language version, including the deku link water-skipping-numbers.
-certain other miscellany in the onscreen clock, bottom-center.
-razor sword, top-right: only the icon, mind you.


What's left to do in the HUD:
-all of the maps: though you can just press L to get rid of their unsightly low resolution-ness for now
-the last parts of the onscreen clock: and in multiple languages!
-the last few sword icons: including the fierce deity's sword and the kokiri sword which I need to fix up some more
-the remaining action words (if any): but for sure in other languages, as well
-magic meter: any suggestions? I'll do something with this...


I am not planning on releasing anything until MuhMuh comes back. However, if he's died in some horrible plane crash... hmm, maybe I'll give it a few more days.

[ragnor]

nice! good to see progress is still being made with this, even with the absence of MuhMuh. Good job Toast =)

[neo64]

Great project, I love your work. But I don't like the fonts you're using, they are not original. The outlines of the hearts and the magic bar (don't know if it's called like this) are too thin.

[Shin_Gouki]

ht hears are ok but the magic bar is indeed a bit to thin and yes the "action-word" font seems not appropriate just like the counting number for arrows..
the rest looking very good so far!
wbr Shin Gouki

[MuhMuh]

I'm back! XD So I can finish the last area of clocktown and maybe do the intro or the inside.But i dont have much time ,because I have a lot of work for school...
@Toast Siege
Please make the lines bigger and have you allready remade the standart hearts(the ones you got from start)?And can you maybe modify the original action-words? That would be more work, but it would fit better. But for now, your work is great! :D I hope we will meet in msn...

[Toast Siege]

About fonts:

The item counter numeric font is exactly the same as the original. After resizing the numbers, however, I changed the alpha so that the black outline was only one pixel wide (rather than four). I don't know what your standards for 'original' are, but our goal is to not stray too far from the textures that were there in the first place. I left the font otherwise as-is because I wasn't sure what I should do with it (plus, I think it looks just fine; I may end up changing it though).

The action words are also lightly edited, but in a way that looks very unlike the actual font I used. Also, the dimensions are exactly the same as the game's originals, in case you could not tell. I guess I'll try 'crushing' some of the letters to make it look closer to the game's original.


MuhMuh: Yes, all the hearts are completely done, and I've attached a before-after to this post. (When you say make lines bigger, do you mean the seperating line showing what fraction of a heart you have left?)
About action words, I think that editing the originals would be entirely far too much work, especially considering the other languages (remember there are about 30 in each language) and the fact that one person would have to do all of them to achieve consistency, not to mention the that it would be impossible to consistently redo each word by hand, and there's the little matter of: who knows how they would turn out anyway.

One thing you have to take into account is how would the artist draw this image if he had the constraints of, say a 192x64 image rather than a 48x16 image to write little words in. I'd say, that it would be rather hard to use an bitmap editor to put in text and change it in a certain way. They probably did something like wrote out these 'words' on paper and scanned them to be put into their game. At this much higher resolution, we don't have that limitation, and can pretty much do it in any style we want.
I do realize that some of you think this is an issue of staying with the look of the original images, I support this idea generally myself, but you have to be reasonable...

However I will try some things and see what I can do.


The attached images weren't taken at 1280x960, unfortunately.

[ragnor]

I kinda like the thinner outline, but I guess that's just me. I kinda thought the thick outline was a poor design decision originally, makes the game feel a little more kiddy than its actual content is.

[EmuFan]

people? updates please? or at least a pack...

COME ON!! :yawn:

[Toast Siege]

Here's a short summary of my situation: MuhMuh doesn't read his email (which incidentally is our sole means of communication). I guess it's getting to be time for another money shot, however...

But first! Some kind of explanation regarding the lack of a texture package: Well, hmm, I... er, yeah... There's the fact that I haven't really seen a single texture MuhMuh has made, so far... It's really killing this thread fast and good, though. I can release something within a couple days (for real, this time) but maybe not everything.

About this picture,
When I looked at it, the proportions for the dropped items looked a little off, so I added handy insets showing a before/after comparison of a few of the newer things in here, but without posting two 1280x960 images! So, they're there mainly to show the dimensions being just about the same. I'm pretty sure I have all of them done, except for that damn Deku Nut - that one isn't easy. The problem here is that I've decided to use seperate images for the item screen items and the drop items, so it'll be done when it's done... The last parts of the clock are the only thing left for the HUD, really (exluding all the maps). All my attempts at redoing those little sun and moon pictures have ended in failure. When they're not so horribly blurry, the pictures look too big and bright... Oh well, but if anyone has any suggestions about what the sun's 'face' should look like, please tell me here. I think it sort of looks like the Super-Mushroom's 'eyes,' but that's just me. Enjoy!
For now...
P.S. Ack! I just now realized it had been almost 10 days since the last update. Sorry, I've been kind of busy. MuhMuh, you could be putting more effort into keeping this thread alive, you know.

[EmuFan]

Finally, updates! It looks good!

[ragnor]

yeah, all the updates look awesome, as expected. Good job, man! Keep makin us happy =) I'm not so sure about the sun's face either, btw. Isn't it just a big eye inside of flames, with the "lids" closing on the right?

[Gorgy]

Bump.

Nice sharp textures, Toast Siege. Keep it up!

[KMan]

Carrots are too flat

[munkieNS]

I've been following this for about a month now, and I'm really interested in helping as well. I'd have to go over all the tools and such to properly work on things, but I'll start with some of those backgrounds like the trees and such if you wouldn't mind.

[MuhMuh]

I got back to work! XP
I don't want this project to die, i just don't have time for it...
One of my problems is, that some textures can hardly be improved, because they have 16 or 8 pixels, and I can't get them over 4x, so they still look like shit :(
@Toast Siege
Could you send me your work, so i can add it?
@MunckieMS
I'm happy to have more help on this :>.
The more people are working on it, the faster it gets finnished.

[Codexing]

this is looking GREAT! the good thing of this game is that since most of it takes part in CLock Town, once you've finished retexturing the town you will have the biggest part done

[MuhMuh]

I have just redone the sign of the Milk Bar.
Does it look good?

[Djipi]

Just one word : WONDERFULL!!!!!!!!!!

[Harvest Sun O_O]

*blinks in amazement*

Stunning. Don't you DARE drop this project! :P

[mdtauk]

One thing I would say, is that the patterns on the walls seem to stand out too much. You need to remember the patterns are mud or some kind of natural dye but the material is still brick, stone and mud.

The texture should be brick etc, with very faint discolouration to make the patterns...

[MuhMuh]

What walls do you mean`?
And what does patter mean? Explain the word please. xD

[I_love_Link]

Amazing!! *droolz*

[EmuFan]

updates! come on people, updates...:devil: :canadian: :bouncy: :whistling :bunny: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :yawn: :smurf: :ala: :phone: :whistling

[MuhMuh]

Some more WiP:
edit: Why does noone comment my work? I'll stopp this project if there won't be at least 5 answers ôo...

[pilm]

I always liked your wonderfull work on this game, and this WIP looks really great ! Thanks MuhMuh, please don't give up the project :)

[Jokke_r]

hehhe there's no people commenting since there are no words to describe, simply awesomeness

[[ROLO]]

great work MuhMuh, release something soon please!

[Guru64]

Sweet stuff!

[scareCrow]

sorry man...I should try to be a more vocal supporter. You are doing a good job and you definetly shouldn't give it up.

[EmuFan]

now, that´s updates! marvelous job:bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy: :canadian: :canadian: :icecream: :icecream: :icecream: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

[MuhMuh]

Okay, i'll keep on working:
Tell me what you think.
Now i'm waiting for Toast Siege to send me his work, so I can release the first pack soon.

[Branz_mf]

nice shots!!! Looking very good!!

[[ROLO]]

wow man, that looks really cool!, please Toast Siege send your work to muhmuh =P

[j234]

[Federelli]

Not that much better, but link has better animations, so do other models, and there's a wider variety of textures, more lively textures as well.

[EmuFan]

ok, people! updates!:yucky:

[EmuFan]

c´mon!

[EmuFan]

ok, know this is my third post, but the dates are different, so in my mind, it don´t count as a triple post. anyway, updates please?

[MuhMuh]

I'm sorry, but I dunno when there will be updates, though i have no school for 6 weeks now. I am co-manager of a graalonline-playerworld, so I spend my time for Graal. And for some reason, ToastSiege has'nt sent me his work yet.

[bobablob]

I for one find this the most exciting project on these boards. MuhMuh would you please please please consider releasing a work in progress? I don't know if Toast sent you his work (please Toast, you're such a skilled artist) but whatever you have, particularly in the HUD department is bound to be a HUGE improvement. Thanks!

[MuhMuh]

I just decided not to stop this project.
So here's some more work:

@Toast Siege
If you read this, send me your work, so i can release something

[takas]

great work dude!!! love the stonewall. im happy that you decided to continue this project:bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy:

[jamesyfx]

Whoa, for a minute there I thought I saw some bump mapping..

Great stuff.

[Tetsuijin]

Yeah, the brick walls are really good. :)
Nice!

[[ROLO]]

Great!, the walls are terrific

[Djipi]

great!!

[MuhMuh]

Tell me what i should make better.
http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/9898/smask238ld.th.jpg (http://img78.imageshack.us/my.php?image=smask238ld.jpg)

[jamesyfx]

Maaybe you could give that lock a bit of depth, so it doesnt look like a black thing painted onto the chest.?

[mdtauk]

The Chest needs a dose of Hyper-realism like you gave to the rock and other textures.

[[ROLO]]

Yeah, and maybe the yellow part make it look like a rusty metal

[MuhMuh]

The Chest needs a dose of Hyper-realism like you gave to the rock and other textures.
lol, ok, but that takes more time. And I never worked with Metal xD...

[MuhMuh]

Hum... I can't make it much better.
I think I'll work on something else.
http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/576/smask242bs.th.jpg (http://img65.imageshack.us/my.php?image=smask242bs.jpg)

[mdtauk]

There is still a lack of detail, it seems to plain. Perhaps add some more detail, some shadow and bevel on the gold metal, and some visible planks of wood for the brown parts...

[Federelli]

Muhmuh, first of all worry about the ribets properly matching up. Then find some metal tutorials, and making wood isn't that hard :P.

[mdtauk]

Here is artwork of treasure chests...

[Neo-Kamek]

Looking good...!!!

[loopsider]

I'm sorry, but I dunno when there will be updates, though i have no school for 6 weeks now. I am co-manager of a graalonline-playerworld, so I spend my time for Graal. And for some reason, ToastSiege has'nt sent me his work yet.

I did appreciate the milk bar sign, was 100% high resolution perfection.

On the note of "graal" that was one really fun game. Though I am banned from Classic due to supposed "hacking".
I also used to be staff for the Unholy Nation server. Great times. I can see why it would take up your time.

This project is a winner though.

[Faint]

Project is looking really good. Keep up the great work and don't let anyone rush you.

[EmuFan]

How about some updates concerning textures, and not just praise. (even though it´s well deserved)

[mdtauk]

MuhMuh, have you got _RGB and _A dumps for the clock curve and the clock dial. No matter what ALL_PNG I use, the edges are all fraid...

[MuhMuh]

@mdtauk No idea what you mean, sorry.

Tell me what looks best 1,2,3 or 4:

[Mollymutt]

3 and 4 are the best. I can't really tell which is best, because they are at different angles.

[Psychotoad]

I'd say 3 looks best.

[[ROLO]]

Great, the thread isn't dead :)
I vote for the image 4

[aibrubusfosusej]

I personally like 2 and 4, can't decide, because 4 looks smoother, but 2 looks more like the original

[MuhMuh]

I'll take nuber 4. It looks best somehow. Now i'll work on the beach.

[Unusual_Rex]

I think 3 is the best.

[zdasher18]

I love this game, any updates?

[MuhMuh]

http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/8168/zeldamajorasmask311mj.jpg
A little work on the Beach.
And now, Toastsiege is not working on anything anymore, i need someone to help me...

[Darklord89]

GJ looking good! :icecream:
Im glad to see that this project is still going! Yea! :whistling
I see what i can do with some texturing, then ill post them here to see if u like em.

[Anchel]

Wow! Those walls certainly look great. They're almost real and don't look at all like a repeated tile

[3x3cUt0r]

good job MuhMuh, that screenshot looks amazing :)

[Techman]

That looks grrrrrrreat.

[Bighead]

I was looking at your work and I must say very impressive. This is something that you must finish because of all the work you put into it. I noticed you have not yet released anything after the many months this has gone on. Keep up the good work and I am eager to see the pack!

[Mikey]

Wow, looks awesome. Why didn't Nintendo do this for the re-release on the Gamecube? :(

[Darklord89]

Wow, looks awesome. Why didn't Nintendo do this for the re-release on the Gamecube? :(

Too much time and money i expect. They wanted to offer to old classic on the gamecube thats all.

[MuhMuh]

So isn't there anyone willing to help me? Well, then I think I'm going to upload my work so far and stop this project.
EDIT: I need help with the Hud and the menus and so on.

[El Kameleon]

well,you can download my pack and use whatever elements you want from my hud but i dont think it fits your style. if you REALLY need help, let me know, i'll see what i can whip up.

[mdtauk]

So isn't there anyone willing to help me? Well, then I think I'm going to upload my work so far and stop this project.

What style are you going for with the HUD...

[MuhMuh]

What style are you going for with the HUD...
I think it would be good to keep it close to the original.

[MuhMuh]

So this project is dead now. Read the first post for details&download.

[[ROLO]]

Thanx man... but it's a shame that this project won't go on :(

[zeldafan970]

nooooo, come on! I was really interested in seeing this mod go further! It looked so great...

[koolkarts]

So this project is dead now. Read the first post for details&download.
Wait, I'll help you MuhMuh. I'm not very good at artwork but I can help to rip textures off the game for you. How about that? Hope I can help....

[Unusual_Rex]

MuhMuh, c'mon! Don't let this die!

[2kool4skool]

I'm sorry to "dig up" this thread, but I was wondering if there is an alternative download link for this pack (as I cannot get it from the current host), or if someone could email it to me so that I could host it...?

If so QuestfortheTriforce@gmail.com

Thank you all for your time. :)

[Eshock]

Now that both this and Djipi's have been released, is there any chance of a combination release?

[EmuFan]

You can combine them yourself, shouln´t be so hard.

[Unusual_Rex]

Dang I wish this didn't die!

[MuhMuh]

I decided to work on this project again.

thats realy great news:bouncy:

[EmuFan]

It looks great! But are you going to keep working on it, so we ever get a complete mm pack, or are you gonna "kill it" again? I know for sure that i won´t be carried away with this..

[Rastaman360]

I think if this project is going to work you need to work only on this game as it is a massive game.

if you get bored your not dedicated enough for a job like this

[MuhMuh]

if you get bored your not dedicated enough for a job like this
You talk about that like it was my profession. I do this only for fun. If its not fun for me, I won't work on it.
But i am happy if anyone is willing to help me.

[Lightbringer_x]

hey, great job!

[Magitaro]

MuhMuh, Majora's Mask is quite possibly my favourite game, and I'd just like to let you know that your work means very much to me.

Thank you, :flowers:

[wessleym]

if you get bored your not dedicated enough for a job like this
If you don't get bored retexturing a humongous game like Majora's Mask, you need to get a life! (In case you didn't get that, Rastaman360, get a life.)

[mdtauk]

muhmuh, i've added you to my msn list, and I am happy to work with you on the project...

[SupermanIsNvius]

i kno im startin to sound pushy cuz this is the second time ive done this, but about how far along are you?

[MuhMuh]

I just finished the Swamp-area and now I will better my old Clocktowntextures.
And mdtauk does a great job with the HUD.

Kepp going :D

[mdtauk]

the HUD isnt finished yet...

[MuhMuh]

also it doesn't look that "realistical" not that I mind...
I think I know what texture you are talking about. I have already made new ones. And you can see mdtauk's great HUD (although it's not finished) on this Screenshot.

I see... it's very improved now, and the blurry texture is not there anymore... I love that HUD :drool: I see that the hour system is being revamped, that "sun" icon looks really ace and the "1." is nicely done.

thanks for the hard work :D

[Magitaro]

That updated wall looks great! Perhaps a more detailed grass to match?

Love it!

if your emulator isnt in your program file folder, youll need to find it but it wll be the same thing.

Hello
Great work man :D

Do you will to make an update of your PACK with all your progress ?
Thanks

[SupermanIsNvius]

youre not going to kill the pack again because of the new cell pack... are you?

[MuhMuh]

youre not going to kill the pack again because of the new cell pack... are you?
No. I just don't work on it like a workaholic. :P
I will take some breaks, but I will work on it.

[tailslol]

cool realy good news ;)

[Torrean]

Ok, just to make sure, the first page is the download, right? Anyway, judgeing by the screenshots, awesome, awesome, awesome work! I hope that you eventually finish all of it. If you need me to, I can work on sharpening images, or other things. I've got CS2, if you'll give me the textures that you want changed. If you need my email, PM me.

[linkenski]

will i have to rename MuhMuh's retexture pack to the name of my Rom? i am using: "Zelda 2 Majora's Mask (English)"

[MuhMuh]

I overworked the little fairies, because I thought they look kinda retarded. What do you think about them?
http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/8462/betterfairiesnk6.jpg

[pilm]

They're pretty neat :)
Very good job.

[Changeling]

Hi MuhMuh. I love what you've done with Majora's mask. I've never played this game before and I've been waiting for a high res texture pack to be released before I get started.

Is there any chance you could re-upload this pack? The link on the first post seems long dead.

[EmuFan]

I just have to say this, WHAT THE HELL? I know you said you would take some breaks, but 6 months? Anyway, nice job on those new textures.

[Vinilipe]

I dont like the fairies...
the look more weird thank before imo...
Maybe a more cartoony face with the same head size as the original would look better?
Glad this project is not dead

[MuhMuh]

Two new Screenshots:

I did quite a few things you haven't seen.

[cyberlink87]

GREATTTTTTTTTTTT !
how can you release even a part of the texture ?

[Toxic Hobo]

First post says last updated 2005, has there been any more textures added since then?

[mdtauk]

Remember Muh, i am still around to continue your HUD and menus etc, when you come closer to the end of the project lol

[MuhMuh]

It started snowing where I live! :D So I am able to take some fotos and use them for snow textures. ;)
Remember Muh, i am still around to continue your HUD and menus etc, when you come closer to the end of the project lol

[pilm]

Yes ! I can't tell you how happy I am to see this project still alive ! :D

And nice screenshot, by the way - but aren't the colours of the clock a bit too different from the original (http://hyrulerealm.guardianarchives.com/Official/MM/ClockTown.jpg) ? If that's your style, it'll be great, but if you want some constructive (I hope) criticism, you have my opinion :)

[Graxer]

Great picture! :drool: It's good to see a Majora's Mask project that is still alive!

[hyruleking3001]

The link is broken on the main page. Reupload or something?

[Driscol]

i aggree, this project looks absalutely FABULOUS (dont kill me im not gay) i must download, reupload upload UPLOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MuhMuh]

http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/7527/smask5ow5.jpg
I don't know I I will reupload it... It's not really that much yet.
Every now and then, I feel like retexturing, so I continue. But nothing's really finished. And anyway, you've got a new MM project on here now. And it doesnt look too bad.

[Driscol]

w00t! another post by muhmuh!!!

Nice work, muhmuh. Nice to see someone still working on this game.

It's even nicer to see that you know what you're doing.

Thanks for the Comments! :D

I didn't want to use the artworks for items, because there aren't Artworks for every Item, so I tried something mdta suggested to me:

Love it. Link´s face looks good too, i´m not to keen about the line around his eyes though... Link with eyeliner, wtf? But, if it is a necessity then it´s more then fine.

[etking]

Seems to be the most professional MM Pack yet! Anyone a Link for this?

[death-droid]

Very good i think i combined this with dijipis cell shaded pack for this :D

[Enzo Dragon]

Hey MuhMuh, your rapidshare link is dead. Mind throwing it back up?

[mithhunter55]

I would love to have this if any body can get a link up. thanks.

[IndieGameMaker]

I would love to have this if any body can get a link up. thanks.

I Concur. I would love it if someone could get the link back up. Majora's Mask looks awesome in Hi-Res so I can't wait to test it out!
