Visuals & Graphics HD Textures Pack Mod

Even better, just create a .diff file with icarus and distribute that. That way people can just apply the patch to the vanilla vpp_pc files. Easy peasy.

I cant find the icarus program you are talking about.. i feel a lil stupid lol.

please return here hevon give me a update

I'm here just had many things coming IRL but atm i try to learn back how to use all the tools for extract , repack etc.. kind of make me lost cause i was using Texmod to work on texture and now i will have to find out how to extract and repack texture.

Icarus is simply a gui frontend for xdelta:

Don't feel bad. I couldn't find it either just now. It could be something that's been phased out of use since a better app is out.

Ok ive extracted all the texture ! (again) and doing test for the moments to see how its working but i cant find the asm file of sr3_city_awld.str2_pc.
After changing texture and saving in DDS repacked in str2 , now i just need to update an asm file i guess but dunno wich one.
And sorry for asking this i just get used to texmod and had to work in different way ive never try before so.. maybe i will ask others things laters.

Edit:Ok after chatting with Idolninja and Minimaul who helped me really a lot and thanks them for it . i figured out how to add the texture in-game.
Now get ready soon to be able to test my progress.
And of course i will post screenshot in the days coming ( i think tomorrow for the first one )

Edit2:Here a screen showing the ground texture difference

ohhhhhhhh shit, might have to stop playing Skyrim and jump back to saints row when this comes out.....I've come to the realization that high res textures MAKE the game. Its like drugs, saints row is the baking soda, the textures are the cocaine, and hevon is the water mixing it together to give us NEW CRACK! lol caint wait, awesome work.

It always gives me a warm fuzzy whenever I help someone and they turn around and do something really awesome. I've never seen such nice looking pavers.

Thanks Guys ! I'm glad you like.

Here is an other screen showing the road texture.

I can't wait to try this out! Getting rid of those ugly-ass grass, foliage, and road textures will make a big difference.

I know this is a rocket leap ahead but I figure I'll ask anyway, if its possible to change the world textures does that mean vehicle textures could be altered as well? because it would be SICK to give the vehicles high res textures to make them look a little more realistic

Yup car texture can be edited cause ive seen some even with the texture from inside who could be nice if you use the first person MOD in a car.

Thats good and all that , will it make srtt run slow tho? and can you work on the ingame lightning please? the shadows are too intense and it ruins even the face, always has dark spots on it.
looks good so far from teh pictures

I'm not sure about the light cause it can be from text settings in a file somewhere and not cause of texture.

I ALSO want to tell you that... have you noticed that the skin texture is so shiny ? can you make dry skin texture or color please? or at least a orange-brown one without the shine effect, u know what i mean right? some of the skin colors look like its wet

Gonna take sometime before i work on skins but i know they are cartoonish looking and for the shiny effect i think it can be changed yes.

I have uploaded a Beta pack with some texture ( road , some grass , some trees etc )
They are some issue im not sure i can fix myself cause its not a problem of texture but settings of the game engine like how far the texture can be loaded in wich size etc.
Only thing tought is resolution of the texture and i dont know if in one texture it contain 3 type of size , for example 1 size for high setting 1 for medium and 1 for low.
I can't find this anywhere so... if someone have an idea let me know.

Download Pack Here (Link Deleted. Check New post for other link )
Extract the files in the root folder of the game ( where you see the exe files of the game )
Keep in mind its a work in progress and need more and more work , and some texture wont be final one needing some edit.

You can post screen with the problem you found and different issue and the edit needed.
