Zelda Ocarina of time Community Retexture Project

[Emarian]

You know the pack is 511mb at the moment all up.
I'm not stopping you from repackaging it but i still would prefer people to use my links so i know what there downloading but then it would benefit people who are downloading from scratch so go ahead!

I just downloaded the pack, so yes, I know. File size is not a problem, nor is bandwidth (both are unlimited).

I am not making any modifications to the pack whatsoever. I simply followed the instructions on the first page, simply repackaging each archive into a single file.

I won't add any textures that I make myself unless they are included with the main release (I plan on making my mirror always match the current release).


As for those textures, I'll get around to producing some of those soon. Looking under the text folder, I see that no item names have been made, and that maybe some of the other textures can be cleaned up and perfected a little.

I'll get right on it, hopefully tomorrow.


EDIT:
What was the link again to the Google Code project for Aristotles' builds? It seems that it's throwing off a 403 error.

Try this -_-

im just trying it lol.......

kk its working fine when using aristotles plugin but i have the same problem with glide when it doesnt load textures but as long as one works

OK, so this is the icon death--droid was talking about (if I understood correctly--correct me if I'm wrong):

Based on that, I've reworked my Zora Sapphire:

Which looks like this in-game:

Does this look better?

I think when we discovered we can't change the bracer on his wrist, I somehow let the power guantlets slip.

Are you sure about that? I found 2 textures that make it up

Original

Dumped and changed both textures

Here's the dumped originals

Maybe a bit of shadows around the sapphires themselves. Thye look like they were just placed there with an image editing software as opposed to them actually being part of the jewelry if you get my meaning. The placement is un-natural without any shadows

 

[Chieftain459]

OK, shadow. How's this?

 

[Zeckron]

@chaoszerox - meant for adult link.

@Chieftain - holy crap that's pretty!

 

[chaoszerox]

OK, shadow. How's this?

Much better! =)

@Zeckron--let's re-address that "crusty, sun-baked whale" texture:

How's that? I won't mention where the source file came from, let's just say.... it's very accurate where sun-baked whale skin is concerned.

good job chieftain

continuing my random re-textures I came across the 5 paintings inside of Zelda's Castle. None of them have been done yet. The originals are exceptionally tiny!

I'm wondering if it's acceptable to use more modern versions of the characters? Maybe blooped out can make them actual paintings like his wonderful job on the poe paintings? Note that Bowser gets stretched into a non-square rectangle in-game. And the others get streched to different sizes

P.S. Thought this was cool

[Chieftain459]

It would be nice if the end-result of the castle paintings looked like actual paintings--I can't imagine simple graphics of the Mario characters looking good on the walls in the castle... it would seem too odd to me.

Side note--Fountain is nearing completion. Look for an update later tonight with the pack... then I suppose it's on to the Water Temple for me.

@Zeckron--with child Link nearly done, have you had any thoughts on where to go next?

Earring

Here's by version of Link's Earring

Original

Version 1

The texture itself

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA#35B72BB6#3#2_all.png

Note:If you look carefully you can see in-game the texture is flipped horizontally and vertically.

 

[Chieftain459]

I actually prefer this earring--looks more like the original. Sorry Zeckron, but I gotta go with Chaos on this one.

The Giant Ruby of Spirit Temple

Too bad you can't make this thing real! The base picture was of the largest rubies in the world, the Carmen Lucia ruby.

I think I need to fix up the outer metal border, other than that I think it's fine. comments?

@Chieftan: Jabu is looking awesome. Perfect. Nice job on the crown jewel Good job hiding the mirroring. But one thing that I think would make it look awesome, is to add some outer bevel. Will make it look like it's sunk into Jabu's crown. Hard chisel is probably the way to go. Also, use a little bit of dark inner glow on the sapphires - will add a lot of depth (someone said that a bit ago about some other shiny thing, and I discovered how right they were). Maybe the gold too.

 

[Chieftain459]

@Lewa--wish I could, but the textures are constructed in a way that makes it impossible. The jewel is a completely separate texture from the rest of the mask (in fact, it actually floats in front of the mask).

Edit--I can do the inner glow thing, but not the outer bevel.

 

[lewa]

Yeah I know. I was thinking maybe just shrink it enough so you can include it in the image itself. Outer bevel is just shading around the layer - it will work no matter where it is put in the game.

Also (taken from my post edit above): Also, use a little bit of dark inner glow on the sapphires - will add a lot of depth (someone said that a bit ago about some other shiny thing, and I discovered how right they were). Maybe the gold too.

 

[Chieftain459]

Note the addition to my post above regarding inner glow.

Yes, shading works regardless where it is, but blending modes (which are what make the bevel look normal) are discarded when the file is saved as PNG... so it wouldn't look quite right. I'll give it a shot, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[lewa]

K. I really think it will work though.
Here's an example:

That's a transparent image. Whatever background you place it on, it will look sunk in. That's because the outer bevel is not opaque. The forums have a white background, so maybe upen it up in Ps or whatever.

 

[chaoszerox]

Good luck Chieftain on perfecting your sapphires.

Currently I'm trying to decide what do do about these runes

Best thing I've come up with so far is this font

[Chieftain459]

Oof, good luck with that Chaos... the font's OK, but I kinda wish it was closer to the original (which is really asking a lot!!)... can you hold off for a couple of days? I may be able to give you a hand... I might be able to make a font to match those characters.

...as for the sapphire, the inner glow worked like a champ, but I think I was right about the outer bevel--the highlights went completely transparent, and the black went completely opaque. Check the screen:
