110% n00b Needs Help on Retexturing

[Cabbage]

I regestered in this site for extreme help!



I was new to emunating 2 days ago spending 5 hours figuring out what to install and finding a ROM. I ended up with having:

Project64
1964
Zelda: Ocarina of Time ROM

I would like to retexture the Ocarina of Time game using the Wind Waker-like graphics from Djipi. But I have no idea what I am doing and I feel like ripping my hair. I know I need some "Rice Code" and when I download it and open it says "Windows can't open this file" because it needs to know what program created it. I think I need to download BMGlib.rar and RiceVideo-6 beta 10 or something. I even watched a tutorial from http://bayoudejital.classicgaming.ga.../celzelda.html
and I got even more confused.

Could someone give me a step-by-step instruction to me like I was a 5 year old? I feel really stupid.

Could someone also give me links to the Rice Code and Djipi's Final Mod stuff.
Sometimes I seem to find them on the forums but the links lead to the Main Page of Emutalk.com (??).

Please I am begging.

Also, is it possible to retexture this on Project64 instead easily?



Oh, and if someone saw that tutorial, what is the 099 Folder?? That cursor clicks it out of nowhere but what is that?

I found the thread Djipi's Final Cell Update but I figured it was a UPDATE and not the whole pack itself. There is a whole pack from Muddy in the thread but the link didn't work for me(what's a torrent?). Why are the links dead?

In order to download with a torrent you need a BitTorrent Client like Azureus or BitComet.

I gave no idea what you are trying to tell me...

You need a program in order to download it.

Like, bitlord, www.bitlord.com

I have downloaded BitLord, saved it, opened it, and installed it. Now what??

Also could someone give me a link to the Rice Code and Djipi's latest graphics (for Ocarina of Time)?

Why in the hell would you want to do this? OOt is already retextured in the Wind Waker style by Djipi. It would be a complete waste of time. Besides, you weren't going to just use Djipi's textures without asking were you? Find another game to retexture with your own style. The last thing we need right now is another OOT project.

[Cabbage]

Wait, you are saying I would want to alter Djipi's textures?? What I want is to put the Wind Waker textures on my OoT.

I don't want to retexture the textures itself.

Sorry if you misunderstood but seriously, how could a n00b like me learn how to do that.

Still need help here!!

Try figuring stuff out and searching on your own. I'm fairly sure every single thing you have asked can be answered in like 4 seconds in this very forum.

Have you tried making furniture? Or trading shares perhaps? I'm sure they'd be more fun to do without learning how to first.

This is not a field where you can come in and say, "hold my hand and tell me everything to do so I can make an awesome project and take all the credit". Do something in private, learn from scratch as most of the good people on this forum have done and come back in a few months when you have something to offer.

This is not something you can take lightly. Some people do this for a PROFESSION. If you're no good, don't bother. We have enough google-image-search projects infecting this forum as it is.

Excuse my harshness, but you are one of many.

You need to download an emulator "1964" is a good one. Then you need to download "Rice's video plugin 6 Beta 10" follow the txt file for where to place the files, but basically the files go into the plugin folder, in the same folder the emulator is in, and there is a file called "BMGlib.dll" which needs to go into the emulator folder itself.

Then you need to make a new folder in the plugin folder, call it "hires_texture" and then when you download Djipi's OoT pack, place it in that folder.

with that done, open the emulator, and be sure to choose Rice's beta 10 video plugin, and in the video plugin's options, find the option to enable hi-res textures, and activate it.

Now when you run the game, it should load in the new textures and you can play.

If you have any problems with this, please search the forums, and refer to the existing help threads.
