  • 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.

it would be a lot more noticeable if we used TP Hylian as opposed to something more squarish

Yeah I see your point there. So do you suggest we use OOT script for the signs? Or you mean change all in-game glyphs to OOT?

I don't see a problem with changing the signs to OOT if you think that would be better. But limiting ourselves to such a less elegant and chunky looking text for all the in-game glyphs I think would be a bad thing.

Check this out:

That's Wind Waker Hylian--I think it's perfect here--it's still squarish, but more modern. I think it's a good cross between OOT and TP Hylian.

What do you think?

Not as bad as I thought, looks good. For the signs it would be perfect.

Still gotta say that TP Hylian looks best overall so how about this:
WW for anything that's mirrored/flipped and TP for anything normal?

@Zeckron: Will that look OK? I mean, do you think it would be noticeable that there are 2 different languages?

@death--droid: Thanks. I'm still working on some details, but I should have it done soon.

Honestly Chieftain I doubt folks would notice.

If we use WW Hylian only in the places that would be deemed absolutely necessary, then I don't think anyone would catch it.

Obviously I have less experience retexturing than you, but from memory I can't think of many places that would call for the WW.

Maybe I should peruse around in some of the game houses to see if they use a bunch of mirrored text.....

The big sign, stuff in the graveyard, and the crates with a cow on them all have mirrored wording. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Sorry for the delay, but I figured it would be a waste of time to release a new beta pack when I was close on another area... and here it is. Zora Domain, for young AND old Link (ice textures included, no extra charge).

Download link (mainly for death--droid, since it will be in the next beta pack, coming soon):

Enjoy.

Link Needs A Makeover

Here's a fun little project for someone. Updating Link!

I'd love to do this myself, but I don't have photoshop and the software I use do not have the necessary tools.

I can't remember the name of exactly what I'm talking about, but I saw a video demonstration where a guy was making folds in the american flag. The folds made it look 3d, with the shadows and textures following it as if they were really folds flapping in the wind.

Sorry, I just can't do that with what I've got. I can add folds, and a weaved-clothing-texture. But can't make the weaves of cloth follow the folds in 3-d, if you know what I mean. Here look:



Got some folds there and the weaved-clothing texture, just can't make it look good.

This could be a quick but fun little venture for someone with photoshop (hint hint). Hell, if you're so inclined you could even give link a little muscle tone. Check out this 6-pack attack:



6-pack of course is just for fun, no seriousness there (his clothes are way too baggy).

For anyone that's interested in taking it on (hell yeah i would if i had photoshop) I've compiled the most relevant textures that are used on Link's body. I didn't include the gloves, sorry but they're easily recognizable in the ci_bmp, ci_bmp_with_pal_crc, and ci_by_png folders of the dump. The others of his body were scattered between all 5 so hopefully this will cut down on your time. Actually his hair doesn't look half bad though it could use a little lightening, but this would be fun to play with too.

Link's link: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=90c368ec06f402d0d956df2962098fcbe04e75f6e8ebb871

EDIT: I actually just found a tutorial on Paint.net's site about this same damn subject. So looks like I do have the ability. But I don't have the experience, so I think it best to leave up to someone who's done this type of thing a couple hundred times before. After all, this is Link we're talking about. We've got to do him justice!

I would gladly redo Link, but I've got a lot on my plate already with the dungeons and whatnot...

So did your wife see the credit card bill after we last talked about you getting Photoshop?

lol Chieftain! Actually I didn't even get that far. When I was telling her how much fun this was, but that I needed some new software she cut me off and said ".....don't even think about it. I know what's on your mind."

(sigh) Maybe next month...

XD i like the detailed textures of Link Zeckron if you could finish them off that would be great.
I've got a feeling if you add that 3d effect its going to look dodgy in game.

Actually, death--droid may be right... to be honest, I would love it if Link looked the way he does in Twilight Princess, but I'm just not sure that's possible.

Been too long since I've played TP, and like an idiot I re-gifted the Wii to my niece. I was thinking of getting the GC version.

In the mean time I'll look up some screenshots.

EDIT: TP Link is just totally impossible. Way too many polygons and different textures used. OOT Link uses 1 texture for his chest and stomach, if that gives any idea how limited we are here. But anyway, I'll see if I can crank out some more optional designs for Death--Droid to choose from.

2nd EDIT: Oh yeah almost forgot, the same texture used on his chest/stomach is mirrored for his back. So the six-pack-attack may look retarded. Just a funny thought :) I'll pick up his clothes again tonight after dinner with the in-laws.
