Mario Kart Hi-Res textures

[ambar]

hello again!
I just made a Hi res pack for 1st level "Luigi Raceway".
and one by one I will make for all of them.
and I found most of the textures on Google.
I hope everyone likes them.

[Engeljaeger]

Would be nice if you posted some screenshots...

[ambar]

Ok here are screenshots.
I made textures for walls, Road, sand, grass, new posters, a new rendered pic of luigi on the big block and baloon(not mine , I found it on google).

[the_Jesta]

i think you are on the right.... track?

[Sirmatto]

i think you are on the right.... track?
*crickets chirping*

[ambar]

whats wrong? dosn't anyone like the textures?:(

[Dj Noop]

They look cool on the screenshot if you're looking approval. : )

I'd love to judge for myself, but I have a quick question: how do you use a high resolution pack?

Thanks for any help.

[knowitman]

They look great.

[ambar]

Thanks!
ok friends here is the new texture pack for "Moo Moo Farm".
it will change the look of "Moo Moo Farm".
enjoy!:party:

[Dr. Soong]

looks great. :)

[Vanit]

Fix the roads though, they match up poorly.

[ambar]

only in some areas they look fliped.
I know they need fixing, I tryied but nothing happens, I even used other road textures but they allways looks the same in those areas.

[photoboy]

Keep it coming, it looks excellent!

[Vanit]

They look weird because one end is brighter than the other. It has to be a uniform brightness.

[ambar]

Ok vanit, I tried again and again all the day, But I couldn't fix it. I was tired of trying to fix it. then I made something else!:flowers:
Please Tell me if you guys like it. and if I should upload it here. it was a bit difficult. and I dont want to fix this one, if its bad because it was hard to position those all 24 files.
here is the pic :) --

[Obeydelmejor]

awesome

[Vanit]

I'm a little skeptical to how you pulled together that title screen by yourself. It took me about 8 hours of work to sort out the jigsaw puzzle of the background for Kerb's pack XD.

[ambar]

:) I know these kind of textures are realy very hard to recreate.
this is how I did it:- I am writing it in a little detail, so anyone can try.

collected all 24(25 totally, but I edited only 24) in one folder, created 24 new folders in that folder,named them 1-24. then pasted these pics one by one in photoshop, I solved the puzzle there, then placed the correct files in theis correct folders. calculated width and hight of that puzzle. created new file in photoshop with same width and hight. doubled the size of this file. cropped it into 24 files after editing. doubled the size of all those 24 files, replaced their texture with the new 24 files. thats it!
it was a bit difficult but it was fun.
I will soon replace the background picture with the one "TS_Death_Angel" found! :)

edit: here is the title screen mario kart logo-:party:

[e2zippo]

Yeah, looks great!

[Kerber2k]

ah so you found a high resolution alternative for that backround?

[ambar]

thanks!
TS_death_angel found it, there could be more from where he found it.
here is the "Koopa Troopa beach" texture pack.
and again enjoy!:party:

edit: here is the title screen mario kart logo-:party:Thanks, but I'm well aware of how to do it seeing as I did Kerber's for him :). The background consists of 124 or so pieces and it took me a good 8 hours to replace every single one.

[ambar]

124 pieces and you completed it in 8 hours, your realy fast in this kind of work.
mario kart background pictures contain 120 pieces and I completed half of work in 2 days.:unsure:

[Obeydelmejor]

hey why arent my black icons there?

[ambar]

hey why arent my black icons there?

where, here? u know they are in the other topic.

[Obeydelmejor]

ya but they should be included in this mega high res

[ambar]

yes but I dont think we are allowed to upload the same file again!

[M[u]ddy]

yes but I dont think we are allowed to upload the same file again!
Then just post the links ;)

[ambar]

good idea!

[Obeydelmejor]

thanks

[ambar]

ok, I completed the 4th level texture pack.
here is the pic and download, tell me if something needs to be fixed and I will try to fix it, without the road, I know it looks diffrent then sand.
and I am just asking that if anyone wants I can change the color of train.

[ambar]

OK friends, I changed the background picture.
here is the diffrence!

[TS_Death_Angel]

Awsome! :D I love your texture pack ^^ The only thing I can comment on right now, is the title screen. I would recommend you put the "Press Start Button" in the original colour. Then everything would be perfect! :)

[ambar]

thank you very much!:)
here is the new pic, please tell me if something else needs to be fixed, then I will upload it.

[Cheezyphil]

how do you use the textures?

[The_Z]

Read one of the stickies, genius. =]

[ambar]

ok then! here is the download for title screen background and "press star button".

[ambar]

just finished "game select screen" textures.
please tell me how is it?
then I will upload it.

[fortybelownj]

wow looking awesome

[ambar]

thanks, here is the download:party:

[Dr. Soong]

awesome job. looks alot better now :)

[ambar]

Thanks!:)
here is the 5th level texture pack (Toad's Turnpike)
and it will fix some problems occurred on road because of luigiraceway textures.:D
and again!:-:party:

[NES_player4LIFE]

:drool: goooooood work ambar
keep it up

[ambar]

Thanks! again!:)
here is the texture pack for 6th level (Frappe Snowland)
It will change the look of this level. now it looks more snowy and icey!
and again!:-:party:

[Sevilla_Forever]

I have put in its corresponding directory the hi-res folders of Mario Kart 64. The emulator loads the images but despues cradled you are going to play does not change to anything the graphical aspect, but other textures of hi-res of other games (as in 64 Mario or Zelda) work without problems. Why it happens this to me? I have been mistaken in the directory?

PD: Sorry, my english is too bad... :whistling

[ambar]

I dont know about your problem correctly, on my computer mario kart folder is named "Mario Kart 64" (I think I am using hacked dump) and textures work properly. on yours it may be "MARIOKART64".
thats what Clements told me.:)

[Sevilla_Forever]

To the folder of the hi-res textures I have called it MARIOKART64. The emulator loads the textures but later in the game any change does not notice. If I call Mario Kart 64 it does not load the textures...

[ambar]

I dont think its possible that the plugin loads textures but nothing changes.
May be your using a diffrent kind of rom ( or another version)

[fortybelownj]

awesome so far

[ambar]

thanks! here is the texture pack for 7th level (Choco Mountain)
enjoy:-:party:

[picartman]

is there one really big pack with all the textures in one?=]

[ambar]

I thought about that, but because of my connection speed I cannot upload more then 2 MB, and if I try to upload more then that my connection disconnects.:(


edit:- here is a update that you all realy need if you downloaded (Frappe snowland texture Pack)
it will change the wall texture of (Frappe snowland) and (Sherbet Land). this is because I didn't knew that they use same textures for walls!

and a new start line Mario Kart logo!

[NES_player4LIFE]

ambar

[Dr. Soong]

All roms that i have are "MARIOKART64" ID, so the pack dont works, because your version is "Mario Kart 64" ID

What version are you using ¿?

[ambar]

may be it will work if you rename the folder.
and here is texture pack for "Wario Stadium".

[Gelon.com]

may be it will work if you rename the folder.

Ambar - you keep getting better and better at this...and you started off pretty damn good! Everything is an improvement...the wario stadium crowd effect looks pacrticularly great. I can't wait until you do rainbow road!

[ambar]

Thanks!
But I dont know what to change in "RainBow Road" :(
because it looks fine to me!
what do you all think, I should change?
your ideas can help me!

[NES_player4LIFE]

you could change the faces a little bit
and the stars on the side of the road
could be filled up with a super mario 64 stile star

[ambar]

ok, I'll try!

Texture Pack for "D.K.'s Jungle Parkway", I cant change grass because I cant find grass texture in dump folder!

[Shades]

you could change the faces a little bit
and the stars on the side of the road

Yep. I 2nd that.

[darknior]

[NES_player4LIFE]

emutalk lets me upload

going beyond the set 8MB
limit so i'm am going to have to split the pack in 2 parts the (levels) and
the other game textures

these are the other game textures

[darknior]

Or you make now a pack01 "final" of 8 Mo
And after begin the second pack02 ....

For more easyer understod of others members, i think it was also a good idee to put him in ths first POST of this forum ;)
Every time you make a "final pack" 1, 2,3 ...

[ambar]

[ambar]

I couldnt find anything else to do with old textures.

[Typify]

[NES_player4LIFE]

Excelent les gars, merci pour tous ces updates :D

[NES_player4LIFE]

i think this improves the pack a little more
tell me what u think guys

[Kerber2k]

Please for the love of god use mine...yours are nice, but I hate to see mine go to waste seeing as I never could them to line up properly. Dig em up at my old thread, and download the psd...if I was smart enough to upload em'. All of the faces are completed...and just need some alignment tinkering.

[Milo-]

Hey That really looks sexy :P but i think i have BIG problem

How do i use this texture packs?

[problemkind91]

Hey, very nice work! Didn't think that Mario Kart 64 could be so awesome!
But my problem: I can't use the textures. I have Project64 1.6 and the Rice Plugin. All plugins work, i can emulate Mario Kart 64 with other HiRes-Textures, but your textures don't work! Sh*t, these are the best textures i've ever seen! I think my version of Mario Kart 64 rom is another than yours, because the emu loads a few textures but not all, although i installed the pack like described in this thread.

Can you give me a link to download the full pack of you with your version of Mario Kart rom? thx... :(

[lepascal]

My Emulators (tried it with 1964 and Project64) don't load the textures correctly neither. There is a short loading screen of the textures but only a few files are loaded. Which versions of the rom are they compatible with? Do I have to change something in the folder structure? I also have the Ocarina of Time and Smash Bros. testures installed and they both work.

Edit: Problemkind, he won't send you any rom I think.

i will make a mariokart64 pak

I WILL NOT UPLOAD ROMS!

[lepascal]

That would be great. I really like seeing all those games polished. You all do great work.

[NES_player4LIFE]

drum roll please

[lepascal]

*delaying drum roll*

No problem. ;)

[NES_player4LIFE]

ok now thats better

un zip file ''the pak'' first then add ''levels'' and put it
in your hires_texture folder
:party: :drool: :bouncy: :king:

this is the MARIOKART64 pak

thanks to Kerber2k,PDK and a big

thanks to ambar

[lepascal]

Thank you VERY much. Works perfectly and looks great.

Edit: Just encountered one little glitch: The bottom parts of the "1 Player", "2 Player" etc. buttons are missing.

[NES_player4LIFE]

yeah i know
it's been that way for ever so far
i'll see if i can fix it

the rest of the game looks nice right?

[lepascal]

Yeah, at least all that I saw so far. I also installed the Item Icons from http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=36383 and it all works fine.

Edit: The background behind the results when finishing a race is white instead of black.

[lepascal]

I just made some in-game character icons. I have no idea how to include them in the pack. Use them if you like them.

Edit: Ok, after all I found out how to do it. This is what I came up with.

I think I am going to redo the in-game interface. I still have to do the numbers for places five to eight (are shown after finishing a race), maybe the maps and the speed indicator (not pictured here) and the big numbers on the bottom left. And i'll have to tweak the alpha pictures a bit, those black borders don't look that good.

[NES_player4LIFE]

yes upload your character icons I love them

[lepascal]

Could you tell me name of the font you used in the game selection screen?

[lepascal]

Ok. I worked quite a bit on the in-game interface and this is what I came up with. I'll have to do more of the maps, I only did five because I didn't have the time to play through the whole game and dump all the files. If someone already dumped the mac pics, he can send them to me so I will include them. The Item Icons were originally made by Mazzocchi but I added a high-resolution border.

I also edited the Logo in "Moo Moo Farm". It was already edited and I made it a real nintendo logo. Use whatever you like best.

[Mütze]

Is anybody currently planning to work on the karts themselves? If not, maybe I would give it a go. Rebuilding them in a 3d modeler should not be too difficult and then all one had to do is take renders, alpha channel automatically included.

Thoughts?

ok rule #1 no game maps get edited in this pak
im sure ambar would like that way
y try to improve the perfect

#2
amber and i shall have the final say of what is to go into this pak
ambar is still the owner of the mario kart 64 pak

i thank you for your input but it has to stay ambars

i'm not saying we can't play around with it

i just had to get that off my chest

btw
all the work is great :bouncy:

[lepascal]

ok rule #1 no game maps get edited in this pak

Yes, because of this I uploaded the logo in a separate archive. This was just a matter of personal taste. Use whatever you want, include whatever you want. I will never release the complete pack.

[NES_player4LIFE]

it's not that i don't like your work it just ambar did a great job on them
please don't take it the wrong way
your work shows great promise

[ambar]

Thanks all of you for continuing to improve Mario kart textures on this thread!
And thanks NES_player for taking care! You are my best friend on this site.
and the new character icons are great!

[NES_player4LIFE]

i love your work, and i want to help make it #1

[emukeen]

The textures are great, but i have a problem with rice video 6.1.1 beta 10. In some tracks it flickers badly with numerous polygons, sometimes it's just like the pics below. Is there anything i can do to solve this problem?

[ambar]

yaaa this problem sucks. I also have this problem. and i hate it, because I was never able to solve it.

[NES_player4LIFE]

i have never had that problem

ambar, what are your spects?

[emukeen]

it's interesting that the problem no longer exists when i play on another computer of mine with an AMD cpu.

[A.I.]

First I just want to say I love this add on pack. You've done an awesome job and really have put new life in MK. It's really opened my eyes to high res add ons.

The only trouble is Rice's 6.1.1 beta 10 sounds a little scratchy, especially with Wave Racer (I'm also using the high res add on pack with it too) so I'm using 6.1.0 which I don't have any problem (though its not perfect) with. Funny thing is 6.1.0 doesn't load all the textures, you see I added that extra add on pack of character icons and although 6.1.1 beta 10 loads all of it perfectly 6.1.0 doesn't. Why does 6.1.0 discriminate?

Also, the course Choco Mountain has all these white specks running through the ground. Is this a known bug?

But all in all I love it! :bouncy:

[NES_player4LIFE]

i have never seen the "white specks" when i played 2 days ago

[A.I.]

i have never seen the "white specks" when i played 2 days ago

Well believe me they were there and I used 6.1.1 Beta 10.
Maybe it was gravel? :)

[NES_player4LIFE]

i'll recheck it sometime when i'm not working

[starfox5194]

not very good at french 2 days into it, but "merci" = "very"... that was pointless

[NES_player4LIFE]

go spam your own page!

....mod?

[A.I.]

not very good at french 2 days into it, but "merci" = "very"... that was pointless

Thank you very much! :angry: I got all excited thinking NES had replied back!
BTW, will you NES?
BTW2, any more add ons for MK?

[NES_player4LIFE]

i got excited coz i though amber replied
with new work

[ambar]

this is a very bad problem, you know how it feels, when u can't play with your own textures!
I wish I had time to make new textures for MK, but now I have a Job, so I am busy on all days!

[NES_player4LIFE]

yes, i know how feels

edit: almost fixed the big problem
but you'll have to click the [alternative texture size] button


replace the old ones with the these (see next post)

[NES_player4LIFE]

wow NES_player4LIFE and amber, you guys did something crazy here! I didn't think I was gonna need to play Mario Kart considering I have it on the DS, but this looks REALLY good!

[NES_player4LIFE]

amber and myself appreciate your comment

we worked hard on this pack

but it is still a w.i.p and not perfect yet

please enjoy playing it

[Terranigma]

Yeah, it looks amazing.

BTW, is there anything you can do about the sprites? When they're close up, they look kind of crappy due to the aliasing.

[NES_player4LIFE]

spirits can not be modded yet sorry

i am glad people still enjoy this pack

[Elite Knight]

They can with Jabos plugin but thats not released yet so we have to wait into he releases it well Azimler.

[cerebus5]

yeah it's funny to see everything else in Mario Kart with these fantastic hi res textures and then the sprites all blurry and stuff.

[NES_player4LIFE]

update

bowser's pix

http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr342/nes_player4life/Untitled-1.jpg

feedback?

[kewell_fever]

That bowser looks cool. Btw, i got your pack, it works and everything but start menu text is half rendered. i went into the configure graphics but couldn't find alt texture size.
Edit* nvm, solved it =]

Just one question, is it better to play this game on 1964 emulator or project 64?

[NES_player4LIFE]

i prefer pj64 because it's been updated more often

btw i have not updated the pack with that pix yet
will do it soon

edit:

i am trying to port this pack to glide64 some textures run better
others run not as well

[NES_player4LIFE]

http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr342/nes_player4life/newicons.jpg
what do you guys think about the new icons?
4 done 4 to go

[X-Fi6]

Those icons are all real nice. But try fixing Toad's head a little in his icon. Ex. make his head darker around the edges, if you can.

[X-Fi6]

Nice, good job on the new Toad!

[ReplayTy]

yeah, what's next on the checklist, if I start a dump, then I can do the times

[NES_player4LIFE]

:D sure show us what you have

i could use some help getting this pack on its feet again

please try to use glide64 or muds/rice 1.6.4 as your dumping plug
i am trying to go glide64 only but rice still works

i just don't want any more issues with compatibility

this pack is hi quality lets try to keep it this way

if any one has ideas please feel free to speak up

ambar and myself have the final say as to what stays or goes

lets rock this pack out:D

EDIT:
i am almost done with all the icons
should have them up soon

[Sparx]

This is awesome! I LOVE the icons, NES_player4LIFE. You've got a great knack for bringing out the character's personality instead of just having it be a small picture of them. Great work :)

I think one of the bigger things that stood out after I tried out the pack was the text. Since a lot of Mario Kart is based on times, I think it would be good to get that worked on next, if possible. Please keep working on this :D

EDIT: Is there a link combining all of the various pieces that you guys released into one pack?

[NES_player4LIFE]

here is a new update

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DWHPMP6U

thanks
i believe ReplyTy is working on the Time

[ReplayTy]

well, trying.

[Flomox]

Hei Guys.

I love your work !!!! REALLY AWESOME.

I am one of the Biggest fan of Mario Kart 64 ( all parts after that just sucked :( )

Can you tell me if there are high definition Textures for the Battle-maps too ?



Can you tell me how to edit Mario Kart 64 roms ? Especially the power ups.

I would like to change the balance : Make it impossible to get an Star while battle.

[Flomox]

Help me please

I installed the Project64

Copied the RiceVideo plugin into the Folder Plugin.

When i start P64 i cannot go settings and select RiceVideo Plugin. always get some Errors :(

Also : Where do i have to put the High Resources Files to ?

btw : Where is an howto ??
Walkthrough from Installing P64 to playing MK64 with high res :P

[ReplayTy]

gotta wait dude, and there is currently not an editor in the world that fits your standards, and doing it custom, yeah right!

[geohound]

is this pack almost done or is there comming more texture updates

[Flomox]

This pack is almost done. I dont know for more updates. I wish someone would ...

battlemaps aint edited alot for example.


IS ANYONE RUNNING MK64 with an emulator stable ? Even he plays splitscreen with multiple Bots ?

Please i need help.

[geohound]

i have a little problem whit the menu its gives dubbel letters when its start with the begin schreen when i choose how many players i see then 2 diffrent collers by 1 or 2 players and so

[Flomox]

I have the same "problem" - but i dont care. it doesnt affect the " in game ".


BUT i have a different problem. When i play solo all is fine.
When i play against BOTS , or worse splitscreen with a friend then the game LAAGs and textures dissapear and stuff. ( no matter if i play with or without high texture plug in )

Do you have the same problem ? please try it.
I need to know how to fix it so bad

50-75%
beware i am the only one at this time still working on this project.
100% will take time.

I´ve rhe same problem with glide64

1p - 4p has lines between the graphics (happens only with glide 64)

[Predator82]

Does anyone work on:

start screen #2 (when the game is completed)
player select head
map select head
level cards

?

greets

[NES_player4LIFE]

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RJF72ZQ0

map select head, not yet
Level cards? what do you mean?

as far as the errors in your first post these textures were never lined right by amber. i think they are the wrong size.

[Predator82]

This background is weird, I mean a hi-res version of the original
with head I mean the graphic where player select or map select is written on
level cards are seen at every race

do you or amber fix that?

[NES_player4LIFE]

this is the only mirror mode screen that i know of.

as far as the race course name ribbons (cards) not yet, however i'm working on some now.

i do not have Amber's artistic experience with words or numbers. so like always it will take some time for me to complete.

you may wish to look for kerbs mario kart 64 pack and see if he has mirror mode screen redone.

[Predator82]

This one in hi-res I search:

[NES_player4LIFE]

this has the same quality as the original, to many scan lines. :(

Thanks to Ambar Kerber PDK (for peach window) and a big thanks to lepasca for the player icons.
