Paper Mario

[Nelde]

yeah! finally i got it! thank you very much arty:
i did the textures 300% because the original paper mario 2 textures are 300% of the paper mario 1 ones

Here is some WIP shots:

has anyone got these textures to dump?

*BTW the text that I replaced is really bad right now I need to work on aligning it better.

 

[Nelde]

wow amazing! i didn^t get that far yet and no, i haven't seen those textures, either

 

[[ROLO]]

Man it's looking great!!!

I'm starting to replace some of the BGs now. It seems to look pretty cool with a canvas texture over it, what do you guys think?

 

[Xavious]

i like the canvas effect over the BG, it makes it feel alot more like a backdrop to a set like they seem to set paper mario as

You should definetly change the font. It doesn't fit in the game.
Try to make it from scratch, so it might come out better than it looks now.

making a font from scratch is some task, it takes more than a few minutes, so finding a font which has the right feel is more important, even if it doesnt match the original.

Im going to work on improving the title of the start screen, but how does everyone work out where all the strips of a texture fit when its broken into 20 200x2 textures?

Of course it's not easy. But since the original Paper Mario font looks kinda "handwritten", why not making it new from scratch?

I would make it this way:
Take the letter
Resize it to 4x the original size
Set a new layer
On the new layer you use something like...vektor tool (or whatever, I don't know what it's called in english) and redraw the lines from the font.
I could make a "before -after"-image if someone wants to know what I mean.
At least I THINK that it would look good

your right that would work, but it would take a while to finish all 52 letters, plus other symbols. It's not impossible but I don't have the time to do it right now.

Anyways here's an update on the BGs. I've put in one background, but am finding some wierd results. It seems like the bg textures are overlaping and not aligning properly, i'm sure this is not a problem with my texture since it's just their bg with some filters applied.

I already did it. I just need to piece it all tgogether.

this is now one of my most anticipated mods second only to the winder waker versions of OoT and MM! It's lookin' fantastic! But, I have a quick question. When I play Paper Mario with all of these advanced settings on so that I can play with your texture updates, I have no sound. But when I play it on Project64 without using advanced textures I can hear the sound perfectly. Any ideas as to how I could get botht the advanced textures and the sound? I don't wanna be a bother so if there is another topic I could go to to get this figured out that you could show me that'd be great. Again great work, it's looking promising

I'm no photo editing expert, but I believe your misalignment is due to your adding the filter to each seperate part of the background. Because the filter is random, it will not fit when repieced with the other parts.

So, logically, you must piece the whole thing, filter it, then break it back up to the exact pixel proportion to the original.

Awesome job on that title screen Mollymutt.

Here's your problem, You have to have both sides of the texture match so when they fit together, it will look seamless. Your hills are much taller on one side than
the other.

Mollymutt, i mean im going to try and do the part of the title screen that says "PAPER MARIOtm"

Your right, but because I used the original image slices and just added filters to them I don't see how my hill are not aligning properly. I know that filtering each piece separately is not the best method but considering that I can change them all in a few seconds by batching them its hard to resist

Here's your problem, You have to have both sides of the texture match so when they fit together, it will look seamless. Your hills are much taller on one side than
the other.

Like I said before it doesn't make sense to me how they can be shifted if I just added a filter to the slices, but I'm gonna fool around with it and see what the problem is.

this is the exact same thing that happens to me. I assumed the audioplugin for 1964 dosnt work properly with paper mario, is there a replacement that emulates the sound properly?

 

[j234]

I use Azimer's HLE Audio 0.56 WIP 2 plugin, works fine
