Visuals & Graphics HD Textures Pack Mod

I'm a bit late too the party here I know, but my girlfriend and I have recently gotten into the Saints Row series together and I'm looking through the mods here to improve the experience, however, this mod isn't one we're looking at. There's not enough change in the textures, based on the screenshots from Havon, to warrant the download, plus this is still in beta anyway. Then again, I guess I'm not overly dissatisfied with the default textures. They look well enough to me. Still, I don't under appreciate the effort that had to have gone into this, so good job all the same.

If you don't mind doing a bit of modding work yourself you can use this mod to update SRIV.

Download this mod and use the latest version of SR3UnpackTextures to extract all the texture files.

Extract sr3_city_awld.str2_pc from sr3_city_0.vpp_pc in your SRIV packfiles\pc\cache folder. Extract the sr3_city_awld.cpeg_pc and sr3_city_awld.gpeg_pc from the sr3_city_awld.str2_pc.

Use SR3RepackTextures on the extracted sr3_city_awld.cpeg_pc file and it will update all the textures that are common between SRIV and the hi res texture mod.

Pack the cpeg and gpeg files back into sr3_city_awld.str2_pc and it should now be compatible with SRIV.

I've read through this over and over again, and I've read through the readme instructions for your tool, and I've just spent the last hour or so trying to make heads and tails out of the thing, so spare my incompetence, but you're going to have to explain this to me as if I was your grandma.

Thanks in advance
 
Me too, I'm having a hard time understanding those steps.

I am unable to

I've tried the SR3UnpackTextures and Winrar, but none works.

Please give us more details, for us noobs :)
 
Is this mod dead or is it done because the op hasn't been on since September 2013 and this is the first texture mod. I have seen for pretty much any saints row game and I would love to see more in the future.:)Btw I am having that black road problem is there anyway to fix this.

He doesn't mean extract as in those specific files, he was talking about the mod's ZIP archive. What he means is copy the sr3_city_awld.str2_pc file from this mod's ZIP archive into "Gentlemen_of_Steelport_v1.0_Beta_3\optional_mod_stuff\1-MY_EXTRA_MODS\" and copy the stream_grid.asm_pc into "Gentlemen_of_Steelport_v1.0_Beta_3\optional_mod_stuff\sr3_city_0.vpp_pc\".

Edit: Trying to be a little more specific and pictures added to show where the files should go. I would also recommend backing up Gentlemen of Steelport's stream_grid.asm_pc file just in case you want to revert back to the original textures without re-downloading the mod.

Yes, you can do it. It's a little bit lengthier of a method.

First thing, you'll need to extract this mod's sr3_city_awld.str2_pc using a Saints Row: the Third tool (I used Gibbed's Tools: https://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/threads/gibbed-tools.639/). Then you'll need to extract stream_grid.asm_pc from Saints Row IV's sr3_city_0.vpp_pc (I used Minimaul's Tools: https://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/threads/minimauls-saints-row-iv-tools.3188/). Now you'll need to repack sr3_city_awld using Minimaul's Build Packfile. You'll need to wait about 15 minutes or more (depending on your computer's specs) and you'll have a Saints Row IV compatible version of this mod. You can then paste those files into your Saints Row IV root directory.

Pictures added below for reference.

Edit: Okay, I foolishly realised that there are missing textures in Saints Row IV using this method. While it does work, Saints Row IV added textures to sr3_city_awld.cpeg_pc which will cause errors if you do a straight port like I mentioned. If you want to restore those textures, you'll need to get SR3 Texture Utilities (http://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/threads/sr3-texture-utilities.566/) unpack Saints Row IV's sr3_city_awld.cpeg_pc and this mod's sr3_city_awld.cpeg_pc in separate directories. Then, take the textures from this mod and overwrite the ones in Saints Row IV. Use the Repacking tool then use Minimaul's tool to build the sr2_pc packfile. That should fix the issues with missing textures. Hevon provided no information about redistribution with the textures that I could see (granted I didn't read through this entire thread) so I'm not sure if I could post an updated version for Saints Row IV for you. I don't see any contact info either. :( I shot a PM over anyway, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
