What's new
  • Most issues reported these days stem from users not enabling their emulators to use the required amount of RAM.
    We also tend not to use the search feature but post our issues within the texture pack release page.
    Failure to load a texture pack should not be posted in the release thread unless you have already patched the emulator.

    If you don't have the resources to use Large/HD texture packs please do not attempt to do so.
    Users should have a minimum amount of System RAM not less then 4GB's.
    If you have less then 4GB's of RAM do not post about how your emulator crashes,
    RAM is dirt cheap so invest some money into your PC.

    I would like to say thanks to squall_leonhart
    for posting this Solution.

All right, I'll finish the emblems. Just to show that I can still do it right: :)P)

I hope you guys don't mind waiting for me to finish the game. If there's any sort of rush, I can get the filenames from a different pack.

It would be nice if it's not trouble, especially since crashes are making getting some names quite cumbersome. Don't go outta you're way, though.

All right, I'm starting on the eye switch. Before I go through and make the blinking versions, I want to make the touchups you guys discern as desirable[/verbose]. Dun dun:

EDIT: I didn't realize until I saw it in-game, but the eye is a bit crooked :blink:. I'll fix that. Anything else?

Fairy Fountains / Lake Hylia Fix

Fairy Fountains (both Great Fairy, and regular fairies) BETA: http://www.mediafire.com/file/nkzqmjk5ayn/Fairy Fountains.zip
Lake Hylia / Laboratory *FIX*:http://www.mediafire.com/file/w2jmmy3zzb2/Lake Hylia Fix.zip

The Fairy Fountain was fun, but also challenging. The screenshots in the great fairy fountian of the sparkling magic walls, don't do them justice. It's really a very very cool looking affect with the new texture. Please take a moment to check it out (quick and easy one would be at the top of death mountain or by Hyrule Castle in the past). Also very tempting to go a little too tactile and rough with the textures here, but the originals all had the feeling of smooth marble, so that's what I settled on; super clean and smooth. Overall, they're subtle but pleasing. Not much I could do with the pillars in the regular fairy fountains, see the file for them and you'll understand why.

The two textures needing fixed from Lake Hylia / Laboratory are included above. They're the wood panels on the outside of the lab, and the blue brick walls on the inside. If Death--Droid approves, then it could be considered final.

Comments welcome. Enjoy.

BTW Lewa, those medallions are looking great! I got a little experience with Illustrator doing the pillars in Lake Hylia, but it's obvious you have much more experience. I'm actually very excited to see them all finished! I think they've been the "pink elephant" in the room that nobody has wanted to talk about :)

Thanks Zeckon :) My experience is in making icons for rocketdock n stuff, so stuff like the medallions is natural.

The fairy fountain textures are amazing. Look so much like original it's awesome. And I haven't even tried them in-game yet. Your skill is definitely in tactile perception - which is what I really think is highly important, and am trying to get better at.

Thanks Lewa!

Sorry I didn't see your eye switch before posting. Looks great! So much better than the original.

Along the lines of that 'tactile' feeling, how about overlaying a little roughness to that eye? Like a stone texture overlay (underneath the actual eye of course, but on top of it's stone plate).

The shading of the eye itself and the pupil is really cool. Oh and the dropped shadow underneath the eyelashes is a nice touch.

@Lewa The eye is very well done , also here is the dumped emblems
http://www.mediafire.com/?znddjj2tydt

@Zeckron Looks as if you did a very nice job on the fairy fountains just about to test it in game also the fix for the Hylia laboratory is very good :p

EDIT:
The fairy fountains look really nice now good job Zeckron.
One thing i noticed tho at the back of the fountain there seems to be a effect there that hasn't being changed XD

Thanks man. Drop shadow is one of my best friends :D

All right, here's a much better version. Half redid it. More chrome-y (glad to have another artist in the house to give me suggestions, as well :D). And with bump mapping as Z suggested (should I start using thumbnails?):
THE_LEGEND_OF_ZELDA_6B82DEEE_0_2_all.png

Ooo...that looks really good! I love suggestions ^^

I hate gimp, though, for it's bad selection scaling. Causes those jaggies you see. Should I just scale it to half size when done? At the moment it's 16x (as someone suggested :whistle:). Of course, I been having a lot of graphics issues (no AA or antistropic), so I can't tell how well the plugin scales it down.

Personally i don't really like the change the black outline around the eye doesn't really work and the tips of the eyelashes don't work to well either.

THank you all for your comments :)

@death--droid:
Cool :D What do you mean by the green scale? Is there a green one? Oh well.
Regarding emblems OOPS medallions:
Do you like the yellow one I did? If so, I can give the rest a shot as I go. I think I want to re-do the yellow one. I'll get back with you on that.

@KrazyTrumpeter
I don't know why the hookshot isn't loading for you. Maybe you need a different video plugin. Also, did you make that video "Where's the Chapstick?"

@Zeckron
Thanks :) Did you make a shield back? It didn't or something for me :-O
Also, not to trash anyone's work, but I think that the master sword icon looks too long. Looks more like the biggoron's sword (or preferably, the giant's knife). I can redo it if anyone wants.

I'm a moron...it's because I have the longshot now.

Anyway, I totally agree about the Master Sword icon, it's too long skinny, looks like a two handed longsword. You should redo both the Master Sword and the Biggoron sword icon.

I also have never heard of the "Where's the Chapstick?" video...

edit: Your forest medallion isn't loading, but your light medallion did, FYI

Death--Droid, can you be specific there or send me a screenshot? Do you mean the sparkly-magic stuff that is pink and is falling at a faster rate than the surrounding sparkles? If so, unfortunately I can't change that.

In fact, you can't change the colors or move rate of the sparkles. The game does that, specifically at the back of the fountain, to add some funky sort of depth and feel to it.

Actually the pink area at the back is my favorite, really looks like water rushing down the side of a wall or something.

If you mean the water of the fountain, honestly it totally defeated me. I spent about 3hrs trying new variations of the water and just couldn't get a result that looked better than the original. Even tried scaling up the original, smoothing it, increasing contrast etc. Nope, still didn't look as good.

If i'm not understanding what you mean, could you post a screenshot?

EDIT: Lewa, I actually like the changes to the eye, though Death--Droid is the one you really need to impress :) How about a screenshot of it working in-game?
