Cloudscapes' Super Mario 64 texture pack thread..

[cloudscapes]

i have your texture pack and it work fine.
I use Adobe photoshop to edit them and save them to png with the original name.

Make sure you have both files for each texture, three files if it's a texture with an alpha. The only differences in the filename between the two is _all and _rgb (and _a for the third in some cases).

Send me one or two of the textures via email and I might be able to let you know what's wrong.

Nasorean: I'm not quite sure what you mean. AFAIK gouraud shading is on a per-pixel basis, not per-texel.

duh!!
yeah man i know, long night n slow morning if you catch my drift

This is a great idea, but i feel i lack the artistic ability to edit the images myself. do u have any tips on how to go about it cloud. Keep up the good work.

 

[_pm_]

here's some textures that i'd like to be done the most, this work is very impressive...

The Mario lives counter and star count, i suspect they share number textures.

Mario himself is seen throughout the entire game, he could use a make-over

and don't forget the power bar! but i assume you plan to do these things

Anyway, this work is awesome, well done and its far better than I could ever do.

Sure, Cloudscapes is doing a great job retexturing
I'd like to make a little contribution for the lives counter

 

[cloudscapes]

Haha _pm_, brilliant
certainly better than redrawing it alltogether.

 

[TerraFrost]

looking good!

have you included Orkin's textures?

now, i just wish that someone would start an official project for zelda: the ocarina of tme, heh

 

[cloudscapes]

have you included Orkin's textures?

I haven't, although if it's okay with Orkin, I'd like to link to his pack from my thread if/when he releases one (or something). For the work he's done so far, I couldn't do better!

 

[h3h3]

youre doin an awesome job for sure,cloudscapes...
finally mario64 has gotten intresting again )
reeeeeeeeally appreciated..!!

btw u should release the packages separately like level 1 level2 and so on..(and maybe host em somewhere?!?) otherwise the attachment files will get too big one day

 

[cloudscapes]

Thanks h3h3 that's part of the reason I want to do this. So that we can all reply the game with a slightly different feel.

However I don't think I want to release the packages on a per-level basis. I admit that I did think of doing that, but with all the shared textures, it would of been weird. Either there would be duplicates, or missing textures alltogether if I didn't include the shared ones (suppose someone just downloads a few levels). I'd rather release weekly as one big package, however split up into pieces.

 

[Stop It]

Very nice work cloudscapes, some very nice textures, and thanks to clements for informing me that the hq4x texture enhancement is good, cause I never even touched the texture section until 6.10, wish I did sooner, now, if only someone started on goldeneye....... *legs it

 

[Rice]

help!
I moddified some textures in MArio 64 and they didn´t show!.
I moddified the RGB and the alpha texture.
Here a pic

EDIT: Sorry,that pic is with Rice Video 6.0.0 c,now with R V 6.10. they simply didn´t appear, only the default texture

AFAIK, alpha compare is used for these textures. What you want to do is to check the alpha texture you made, and make sure the alpha values were not averaged down when you did resizing of it. You may want to manually work on the alpha texture instead of just resizing it from the original alpha texture by using a weight average filter so something like that.

 

[cloudscapes]

Ran into my first problem: can't seem to get the emulator to see my new texture. It's the right name, I'm looking for it in the right place in-game, tried both BMP and PNG, saved multiple times, and saved it exactly the same way as all the other working textures. Even tried switching from one API to another. How odd. Must be a problem with this computer, I'll see what happens on the computer at home tonight.

EDIT: nevermind fixed it. forgot to rotate it back to it'S original position. I often rotate textures 45 degrees to paint on them.

 

[Rice]

I have just tried the texture pack. The new textures look amazing.

Great job, cloudscapes.

[Federelli]

Indeed as true to the original as possible, an amazing job. Keep it up. Orkin's textures also look great.

 

[Orkin]

Awesome work cloudscapes!

As soon as I finish up my letters and numbers I'll post it here, and you can add it to your pack.

Here's a pic of what I've been busy with lately. I can go all the way to 1280x960 fullscreen and the text is still sharp! (btw Rice, it appears there's a lack of z-buffering here)

 

[knowitman]

Wow. Those letters look amazing compared the the original ones.

Wow, Orkin, the new textures are amazing. Did you hand draw all the text textures?

Which part do you think lack of z-buffering here?

 

[cloudscapes]

Orkin: amazing looking text! perfectly smooth an no artifacts whatsoever! O.O

I'd love to include these textures in with my next pack (which I'll release friday or saturday). Either we can mix the textures and the info in one readme, or pack two folders, one for yours and one for mine (with seperate readmes) and have the user copy them. Whichever.

Awesome work!

 

[Knuckles]

Which part do you think lack of z-buffering here?

look at peach's neck

 

[Orkin]

Rice: Yes, I'm redrawing each letter individually. It takes awhile (I'm still not finished, I just got enough done to show that shot), but I wanted to keep the original look and couldn't find any matching fonts. And as knuckles pointed out...Peach's neck is dislodged...

cloudscapes: I've put my textures in a seperate folder from yours so I can manage them easier (thanks for including recursive folder searching, Rice!). We can just zip my folder along with your textures into the same pack (single readme, simpler for the user that way), so all the user has to do is unzip it into their hires_texture folder.
