After some tooling around, I've figured out how to dump, modify, and re-apply textures from N64. So, this means I can officially embark on ...

Perfect Dark HD.

Here's the situation as I see it. I can go through and play through every level, dump every texture, organize them into folders, etc, and THEN go about modifying them all ... or I can find some assistance regarding dumping textures and organizing them in a fashion that's relatively easy to understand and edit in a time-friendly fashion.

This is not a demand by any means, merely a request. After all, I want to see this completed as much as you, and this project will mostly be a labor of love between the film work I do and everything else life throws my way, so if I have to do everything myself it will take a while.

Just to show I'm capable of doing the job, here's the first successful test I managed to pull off:

Before: http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/6349/perfectdark0mr4.png
After: http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/716/perfectdark1li8.png

I hope no one interprets any of the above as a demand, I'm simply sending the word out to what I know to be an incredibly talented group of people to assist me in bringing a game we all love up to modern graphical specifications.

Thanks guys! Over at Rare Witch I mostly got criticized for use of "HD" and that my first test looked like crap, so it's good to get some encouragement.

Haha, yeah, so not HD per se, but you know, replacing 32x32 with 128x128 or 256x256 ... I have all the know how to do it graphically, it's just dumping textures and organizing them which is the daunting part.

It would be almost impossible to work with if you dump all of the textures at one time, and try to sort them out. Go a little at a time, and you won't get lost as easily. Good luck, these things take a long time to do.

Haha, yeah, I was hoping perhaps somebody had them already pre-sorted or at least somewhat, but you can't win them all.

Either way it's something I'm going to do and I'll update this thread constantly with results. Thanks your help, everyone.

You're off to a good start. Also, could you post future screenshots at a higher resolution? 800x600 doesn't really how off the high-res.

Hi enigs,

I am glade to see more activity and new members here! Awesome!

Can suggest you use tinypic.com for your photos and use the "IMG" code in your posts...Your pics will show right here in your thread and it will save "us" time by not having to click on a link to see your pics.

If you need "advice" on how to organize your textures into folders you can download my "as is" pack for CLOD here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S5E9BFJ2

Welcome to emutalk,
