Hirmanator

Post is up 

Ok I clammed them all in a zip. Here is the readme for reference to  what I used. I will upload soon. 

Jk2 Enhanced Texture Pack

VERSION: 1.0 BETA (1/31/2023)

Textures: Hirmanator

Contact @ jkhub.org

Installation:

Place the pk3 file in your "game data/base" folder. Make sure these files are alphabetically lower than the base assets already in there.

Uninstallation:

Remove files from /base folder.

Description:

A high-resolution upscale + variety of overlays and passes has lead to the results in these files. I have checked and corrected as many texture errors as I can find. Consider this a beta and if you notice an error message me and I will correct the issue (hopefully). I would say I looked less at the textures in the multiplayer maps so make sure you check single and multiplayer maps. 

Information:

This project was done using a variety of overlaying textures, brushing, using a variety of royalty free commons textures from the listed locations below. Outside of that I used a variety of batched action processed to upscale, correct, and overlay for the textures in this pack to do multiple textures at once. File is larger due to upscaling the textures. 

There are currently no stat or fx changes. There are no texture replacements for unnecessary textures (no glows or textures for shaders) to keep the bloat down as you will not notice a difference. Hope you enjoy this simple modification.

So, Its been almost 2 years and to skip the backstory I left off with Yavin. I am staring down the last 30 or so textures of the temple to do something with. I was going to change up the look, but might just keep the style as it is. then I got sucked into irl stuff, then played other games for awhile. Then realizing how close I was to the end of it.  I will send a few updates on when its all ready. Should I just release it in parts or whole file it? It will be a big file but never really know whats worse. Multple files with less chance of corruption or 1  big file with greater chance of corruption.

With the amount of remasters and remakes its only a matter of time. That being said, chances of there being dedicated servers seems slime.

Also there will have to be a store in it with micro-transactions lol.

There is no money in a remaster without some loot boxes.

well, its been awhile. I realized I didn't finish all the Narshadaa textures. When I am done with that Yavin is all that is left. I am tempted to change out right the bottles since they are all completely flat, and maybe just put a door over them with a window.

Actually its pretty simple if you know how to do a batch action. I just put the textures in a folder then run the batch action in that folder, and then it processes each texture automatically with the same actions. I the check each texture and correct any errors or change out for different texture if the results are not that good.

I get that idea as well ashura. The color change was also from the upscale as I ran a color correction with it. I also tried going subtle at first, but I wanted something more noticeable. A scratch or dent here and there does not strike the eye as much. I could scale back the dirt in another batch. add different example later today. The only maps left are yavin and kejim.

Very nice. I had started a project to use an AI upscaler to do this, but looks like you’re much farther along and probably have much better results than I would. Can’t wait to see it released!

I tried that initially but decided there wasn't much difference than using the photoshop 2.0 upscale. given they are painted textures and not a photo. The overlays do more for the look than the upscale. its just for when they are up close they don't get real blurry.

As the title suggests I have been slowly during these times upscaling and overlaying map textures for Base textures in Outcast. Most are done and some completely replaced. I am about 80% of the way. Basic upscale technique with color adjustment and then using some overlays on metal and concrete textures in the game. A few were too ugly and I just flat out changed them entirely. I also will be changing map objects, but want to get other sets of eyes on what I have up to this point. These texture files are not 4k and can't imagine a need for 4k in this old game, but 2k  max when upscale or 4x original. Things that are not included are character, weapons, shader or glow textures. Will post more screenies soon.

Go ahead and use cw6 it in your conversion mod.

So I don't request much because I prefer to make stuff on my own.

But we have never ever actually seen a good Cad Bane playermodel. The best one we have is hirman's. While no offense is intended.. I'm sure we can do better.

Not offended. I could have done better, but I am lazy. I ain't getting paid for doing any of it.

Well, there is little I used out of those files that wasn't a popular mod to begin with. Maps may be the biggest loss.

One day I will return to this vintage game to contribute again...but man it is a whole decade already...and we JUST got the source code a year ago. I hope some coders return.

Doing something without my permission? It doesn't matter as long as you say where you got it all from...

So I have the crawl animations if you want those too. Or were you going to post those when you got the code figured out?

Thanks.

Feel free to move the post to the appropriate place is it is more suited, My bad for posting here, sorry.

 

But i digress ..

 

So ive made 2 button slots , 1 for getting down and 1 for getting up ( cant think of a simpler way ...yet) i just want to get the animations working in game for now.

for standing up i basically reversed the animations

so i need to do a firing position next 

 

my first attempt for the idle and firing went wrong (see bad coding example)

but im getting there now

now its time to get my head into some code. DOH

 

 

 

Here is the results so far

ok, now i know those are the animations I made for JKG. just saying....

Not so secret if I know what it is. teehee

More detailed textures instead of just recoloring the crumby texture work the last guy did. Which wasn't me

I think this is the longest discussion I have started. ever.

I think I am still working on Jedibetrayal but college and work are taking priority like always and sitting down to weight models at least for me is like staring at paint dry. I have a side project with AOD members, I have CW7 which I have to update with new anims from MB2 in it for compatibility. I am still working on that mace windu that I have to weight and possibly remodel again because some dingus did it wrong (looks at self). Ya, there is stuff here that doesn't get done.

I think this is the longest discussion I have started. ever.

You may want to tweak that single stance so he is not floating off the floor. I tweaked it in v7 but I haven't released it yet. 

I was sad when I lost all the files I had on pcgamemods. I will be more sad when mods disappear from jk3files. I swear if jkhub dies...

DF and MOTS were pretty successful story wise. MP was still in its infancy for this series. but like any sequel the stories told in the beginning is what drew me to JKO and JKA. Without DF and MOTS. I wouldn't be here...

There is no real limit, I always just aim as low as possible while still having detail where it counts, I tend to go a little higher than base models but not by a whole lot, I also make LOD's which helps with performance A LOT.

LODs do help. I think if you were to keep it like the game. a 4000-5000 count. for more detail 6000 and LODs. Look up the how-to's in the tut section if ya don't know.
