Wave Race 64 Soft Mod

[Cönker1]

I'm afraid this game has a very small fanbase. For this same reason I stopped working on my Goemons Great Adventure pack, which has only had around 50 downloads to date.

NO WAI, I love that game you should continue, I never knew it was retextured.

fantastic hi-res textures! when a new version? please please

 

[The Dave]

There may not be a new version out until after May 10th when my semester is over.

 

[EmuFan]

Can´t wait until mine is over, i have the toughest one!

 

[djsolidsnake86]

news?

 

[The Dave]

As I predicted, I won't be able to get any work started on this again until after May 10th. Then I'll touch-up Drake Lake, try and finish the Stunt Mode stuff, then take a break to get Hi-Res Central up and running, and then finish up the little things.

Textures that cannot be replaced:
These textures, for whatever reason, cannot be replaced by Rice's plug-in.

- Opening N64 Logo
...

I dont know if someone mention this or not but the opening n64 logo cant since it's not drawn by the plugin. It was a image in rom copied directly to the framebuffer by the cpu.

Just though I would FYI.

 

[The Dave]

Must be the same for the others then?

 

[Dr. Soong]

good luck on your exams

10 may today!

He actually said AFTER May 10th, so you're a day early. And if he's like me, he's probably "incapacitated" for a few days after finals

 

[The Dave]

Hahahaha, yeah I'm back home and definitely using the rest of this week to relax. I'll probably start messing around with Drake Lake tomorrow, then after that it's going to be hard to get back into the groove of remembering what needs to be done and all that, but I think Stunt Mode HUD was my biggest to-do.

Hell, maybe I'll go after all the animals.

news dave?

 

[The Dave]

Well I probably got myself involved in too many things.

I did do some work with this though, but nothing exciting. I'll give you examples of the non-exciting stuff I've been doing.

Image 1: New Rock Texture in Marine Fortress
Image 2: New texture for whatever that building is in Marine Fortress
Image 3: New texture for little island in Drake Lake
Image 4: New Rock Texture in Glacier Coast
Image 5: Fixed tiling of mountain bg in Drake Lake

Stupid stuff like this that tweaks the pack is what I'm going over now, so I can sort of ease myself into working with this mod again. It's hard to just jump right back in after taking months off and not remember where I was.

 

[Sirmatto]

Looking good. Hope you're having a fun post-final time...

 

[hyperterminal]

Looks great! Please keep up the good work!

BTW: Is it possible to improve the textures of the riders or are they made of polygons?

 

[The Dave]

The riders do have textures, but their blocky appearance is because of their low polygon count.

After I finish the coding for the Hi-Res dedicated website Vanit and I are working on, I will work on all the marine life in the game.

I downloaded this pack waverace is a good game, good work the dave.. but, i was geting slow downs. 30 fps, so i started puting textures in folder by folder. When i got to bouys my FPS drop bad.. so i del red yellow folders under bouys

And then game runs Great.

[The Dave]

Are you saying the game went faster because of the way the textures were organized or because you eliminated them?

Maybe your video card can't handle all of it? I run it with no problems other than the naturally low framerate.
