Conker's Bad Fur Day Retexturing

Looks creepy Djipi "That rhymes some btw" I like the feel of the new textures. Very true to the original.

Keep it up man.

I would like to say that conker is a big game i don't continue this retexturing alone because i work hardly to "Cel"da project

Djipi,
You're definitely right in realizing that one person will never finish retexturing this game - it uses the largest N64 cartridge, after all, and almost every texture used on the characters (and most of the environment) is broken up into little squares that make things comparitively impossible next to other N64 games. Anyway, I was looking over this game and noticed the font looked probably the most hideous of all the over-stretched textures still in the game... so I retextured it. (Woohoo, no lower case font)
I've attached it here, and it includes a few things other than the main font as well. (no foreign characters, sorry. if you want me to do them, post the textures here)
Also note that I haven't finished all of the numbers, partly because I couldn't find all of them, so none of those are in here. I hope this helps.
(I AM NOT COMMITTING TO ANYTHING. EXCEPT MAYBE THE NUMBERS)

Wow looking awesome...

Hah, it looks like you're moving away from the original "muddy" look of the graphics, which, in this case, is probably a good thing...

you are amazing djipi!

OMFG that is so awesome! Love all your work djipi!

I am not sure if I agree, or not. Part of the look, I am sure, comes from the low quality textures of the original, but I believe some of it was deliberate. Something about the texture work reminded me of Brer Rabbit, or at least those old children's books with water color illustrations. Getting too much detail or contrast within the textures may destroy some of this atmosphere, that you were playing through a bed time story gone horribly horrible awry.

Deffinitely looks much better, Djipi, but I strongly encourage you to re-evaluate the textures in-game before really commiting to this project. This is simply my opinion, of course, but I do believe Conker had some half decent art, inspite of the low quality textures. For starters, the dirt around the scarecrow probably shouldn't have a grain. If memory serves, that place was actually rather mucky, as Conker caused little mud splats to squirt about.

A neat project, esspecially with the Xbox remaking show up soon. Maybe best to hold off until that is released, and we can all get a bit of inspiration for new textures?

All the same, great job Djipi. The first scene you posted looks great. Can't say it's faithful to the original, but great job, all the same!

Actually if someone knows how to rip Xbox game textures, wait until the new Conker comes out and then convert the textures from that game and use them on this one and it will look oh so sweet.

If however, o' so illegal.

It's about time someone worked on Conker's Bad Fur Day. Hehe, I wish ya good luck, and I hope you get pretty far on it.

That looks beautiful! Will you publish the files soon?

What's illegal? Ripping textures from an Xbox game? Someone is doing it for No Mercy using Wrestlemania 21 textures.

That, of course, is their prerogative.

I'm not sure but I know ThE MaSTeR 3 did it on Wrestlemania 21 I believe.

ThE MaSTeR 3 got the kind people at http://forum.xentax.com to extract it. I suggest if anyone has the texture files they go and upload a sample so they can extract it.

Let's not assume two wrongs make a right.
