_pm_'s Diddy Kong Racing High res textures

[_pm_]

Hi guys! I was working with some DKR textures. Not so much progress, although the most visible Ancient Lake's textures are done. See and tell me if you like them or if it's a no-no.

NOTE: Most textures are in JPEG format, so you need Rice 6.1.1beta3 or later in order to get them working. Sorry but JPEG quality is good enough for these kind of textures and the RAR size is smaller this way.

EDIT: A little upgrade which adds more textures, including some of the snow stages. Also, the small font is included, note that it isn't finished yet. I didn't include the water textures, they seem to make things unstable here. Anyways, you can get them in the next messages if you want.

EDIT2: more complete pack including work from more artists can be found here

I LOVE DKR!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. This will be shweet wonce you get to the later lvls. I and on 30 ballons wright now. If you havent already gotten the righer lvl textures you can use a cheat. : ) thank you, this owns.

BTW I know you like banjo (thats cool) but incase you are having any trouble pipsy is the best default character. Unlockable goes drumstick and T.T being best.

Thanks for the tips, however, I'll be working on the first levels for now (and the main stage), but with a bit of luck some textures may be shared with other levels as well.

Now, I'm trying to remake the small fonts, at this moment, letters A-Q are done. Note that their shadows are missing for now, and some of them need to look a bit better (especially the A). I'll upload the fonts when I finish them.

Also, I figured that the water uses textures as well. I wanted to add some detail but realized that the water animation uses about 130 textures!! So I decided to make a script and batch-processed them, lol 129 textures in less than a minute!!! Too bad the game commonly applies these textures (stretched) over big surfaces and the details are more or less noticeable depending on where you are.

very nice, DO you think you could get the ballons that you pick up in a race while playing to go high res? grate work, If you need a beta for your textures just ask or pm or im etc.

I doubt it. I guess the game is just using sub images from the big texture. In such case, you can enable the option "Faster loading tiles" to force the plugin to use the big texture instead of sub-textures. In this way, you will get only 1 texture instead of 130.
