I keep hearing different things from different people, and no luck no matter what I try. I haven't tried 160 yet so I'll give it a shot, thanks gentlemen.

 

I never finished it, but you can have what I got done if you like.

That came up on the Google search on ModDB, heh. Yeah if no one else wants to take this one up then sure, I'll have a go at that. Thanks man, really appreciate it!

Checked that, still didn't work. Dunno why...

EDIT: Got them all to work except one, because the link doesn't end in .jpg, it just ends... well you'll see the link. Couldn't fix it so you'll just have to click on that first one.

It won't be a big deal if you miss a few. Even if you just did most of them, or the ones that come up the most/need the most improvement it would be a huge step up.

I've always wanted to get this gun in-game, but never managed to pick up modeling after several attempts. Anyone willing to try? Even if you just get the model done and map it I could even texture it myself (poorly, but I'm getting better). Anyways, here's some reference pictures:

For some reason I can't embed them as apparently "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." I can take more pictures as I now own the game, so just let me know if that's necessary and I'll take more/better ones in-game.

You should do some googling, I don't have the program anymore but there was a simple program put out by nvidia a while back that could generate a normal map from a texture, that way you won't really need a modeling program.

 

Why do I see a comment about bump mapping up there? It's so dated, normal, AO and cavity maps are where it's at.

Because no one is doing it now, and I sure as hell aren't going to.

My file is at 44100Hz, just in 128kbps and not 129kbps and isn't working when I load up the menu.

While I can't say the results are "better" than stock, the effects sure are gorgeous and with tweaking to taste it could be a giant improvement... great work @@eezstreet!!

It's not even that it needs to be less grunge (unless all your textures are grunge haha) but the key to all of this is subtlety!! High resolution recreations will get the job done, any sort of scratches, dents, added texture, bumpmapping etc. is icing on the cake and can easily mess it up if not done tastefully.

You should consider using qeffects if you plan on making a "v2". Just for shits and giggles that is.

 

@@eezstreet can  tell you more. It's something fun to play with while waiting for openjk enhancements.

I'm curious now... can't wait to hear about it.

Looks great so far man. I'd highly encourage you to keep this up.

I will say be careful HOW you recreate the textures... some people won't like it if they all look grungy. Try and go for realism, while staying true to the original. It bothers me when "updated/improved" textures are really just darker, higher contrast version with some grunge overlays. =/ But like I said, so far it looks very good, keep it up.

Cheers gentlemen.

Been reading a tutorial on replacing the menu music in JA... I can't get my music to work, and I found out it's because it's not 129kbps (I thought it was a typo since 128kbps is very common), but can't find a program that will convert audio to MP3 44100Hz 129kbps. Thoughts?

I was messing with some mod ideas and realized just how hard it is to figure out what textures are for what. I wanted to find the texture for the effect that happens when your character is hit by lightning, but there's so many that it could be... anyone have any tips on how to figure out what textures correspond with certain things in the game? For effects like this they never show up long enough for you to see them in-game in any detail.

Thank you. I know, I can't believe I didn't make these changes sooner.

 

Your advise is much appreciated. You're getting a special thanks when I release these guys.

Very kind of you.

I did, no luck.

Done.

Boom.

WinRAR says unexpected end of archive when I try to download and open it. Trying again now. Also, PM me when you're free, I need some help with a mod of my own involving a couple small things from here.

EDIT: Tried again, same error. Before it finishes downloading it just says unexpected end of archive. Check your zip and re-up?

Awesome man, I'll give this a shot when I get home tonight.

I remember seeing this ages ago, it's good to see you decided to release it

I bet if it was mixed with Julio's overhaul pack it would look really good.

Cheers man. Haha, oh yes I recall that pack, very cool stuff.

Submitted, waiting for approval.

Submitted, waiting for approval.

For the record, I am essentially retired <.<  I hang around, but usually only poke into threads when I am summoned.

And I'm not? Haha.

Big improvement, nice work man.

@ eventually I will, I've just had other stuff to do the past couple days. Still in my last week of exams. Will probably do it today or tomorrow.
