Uh huh. I'm trying to give it a less cartoony effect.

i love you, jale.

anywho, this is great. i hope i'm able to download all this when i'm done.

EDIT: errr.... i mean when you are done. hehe

It'll be done in the next months. An estimated release date could be between august and october because I don't know for sure how many textures are there in the game. I'm trying my best to keep this project alive.

Best of luck, this is looking really promising.

Today's progress:

• Outdoors (castle) completed, except for the mountain surrounding it.
• Main menu completed.
• A small part of the castle indoors completed (carpet and walls).
• Numbers from 0 to 9 retextured.
• Some letters retextured.

Thanks again. I'm making my best to complete this project 100% (or at least 95% of it).

Since I'll be sharing my project with other Super Mario 64 projects, I'm planing to release a Complete Texture Pack (you will be credited too), which consist in 3 subpacks:

• World Texture Pack.
• Characters Texture Pack.
• Sprites Texture Pack.

All of this for the final release there in October.

By the way, these are the changes done so far today:

• World 1 (Bomb-Omb Battlefield) almost complete (around 80% of completion).
• 1UP mushroom has been given a classic SNES look.

My 10 Cents...

I respect and admire that someones going for a more realistic for style. Personally, I'm ticked that nintendo didnt take the direction SmashBros did when gamecube first came out and i'll remain ticked probly til the end of time for this same reason.

about the water texture, it's easily found on google, type in "water texture"
and it's sure to pop up. Rockstar is actually quite known about, at least in the GTA Modding community, for using this or similar methods for thier textures. on the GTA Forums, there was a rather large discussion about some building textures and grass textures from San Andreas that had been found on Google when Vice City was new.

On another note, I swear i recognized a couple SSBM textures in there myself [mojo's] XD

I think this is a cool project, and though I really dont make use of highres textures, Ill check around for screenshots...

Screenshots coming with next release next month.

This is how Bomb-Omb Battlefield looking is looking after a good retexturization. Like I said above, about 80% of this level has been retexturized.

Still need to change the bridge, trees and boxes.

Excellent work on Bob-Omb BF.

[Fantasy4ever222]

ok first of all how do you install this or something?How do you put this on the rom?

 

[Fantasy4ever222]

Please help I dont understand the Tutorials or anything I follow the instruction of the Plugins folder and stuff and it doesnt work..

 

[Jale]

Easy enough. First get the pack (I put my first release somewhere) then get Rice's Video Plugin. Once Rice is installed unzip the pack with the SUPER MARIO 64 folder inside the hires_textures folder, then go to the plugin's config, click the Texture Filters tab and check if "Load Hi-Res textures if available" option is enabled.

 

[Fantasy4ever222]

Hold on let me try it...

 

[Fantasy4ever222]

ok I did but I loaded the game and it stil doesnt work...You do know I'm using Project 64 1.6...Does it have to be in 1964?
