Two quick questions. Do you have to go through the whole game to get the textures?

Do you have to go through the whole game to get the textures?
Like, every part of it for the pictures to dump?

I think so, but I need your awsner, just to check if there's an easier way. :bouncy:

One more:

For making high resoution textures....
Do you resize it? Or do you keep the original size?
And how do YOU do it. I know how, but I need your awsner too.

1) Yes, you have to play through most of the game to get all the textures. When I was making my Sin and Punishment translation it had 3 difficulty modes, but I only played through Easy to get the textures and it seems I got most of them without having to go through the other difficulties. I imagine dumping textures is much more difficult on an open ended game such as Oot or MM, where as Sin and Punishment was a linear game with a set path so I wouldn't miss anything.

2) You resize them to 4x the original size (preferably).

Follow these pictures for increasing the size, its pretty straight forward:

Thank you, guess I better get started.

Going through the whole game isn't recommended. Take it a section at a time, so it will be easier to tell witch textures go where.
