[Question] Creating Highres Textures for Pack

[Swimy]

Ok, So i'm getting kinda frustrated, not being able to figure out what to use to "recreate" the textures. I know how to dump the textures. Where do i put the texture so It will get loaded corretly. Any Advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm wanting to help on the OOT repack. But this is holding me back

in your plugin folder you need to make a folder called "Hires_Texture" and inside that you need to make a folder with the same name as the roms internal name so for OoT the folder should be called "THE LEGEND OF ZELDA"and you need to put the textures in there

Thanks, but that really doesnt awnser my question.

I am wanting to create the textures and contribute to a pack.(OOT)

• 
  What format does the texture need to be in?

• What Size(resolution) does it have to have?

• What does the name of the File have to be?

• Which directory do i take it from in my Texture_dump folder?

• How do you create high resolution textures?

• Getting files to show up ingame.

I understand for the most part how to create the texture.
I am fairly talented with Photoshop Cs3. But I am having trouble creating detailed items.
Will i have to re-create them all together?

•

the texture needs to be the same format as the original and its normaly a png

• What Size(resolution) does it have to have?

it can be any resolution as long as it's 2x, 4x,8x,16,32x ect. following that pattern sorry i couldn't explain it better

• What does the name of the File have to be?

the file name has to be the same as the original just in the new folder

• Which directory do i take it from in my Texture_dump folder?

i normaly take mine from folders that have "png" in them although if you are re-texturing the effects then they will be in the other ones

• How do you create high resolution textures?

there are tutorials here and here

• Getting files to show up ingame.

when the files are in the Hire_Texture folder then when you start up the emulator go into the GFX plugin settings and uncheck hide advanced textures. then go to the texture enhancement tab and check the load hires textures if available

my answers are in bold

Just thought i would revise on one of steftheserb's answers.

* What Size(resolution) does it have to have?
It should all work fine as long as the texture is a power of 2.

Just for a quick test I used the pot texture. It kinda looks the same, but just darker.
