Saints Row 2 High Quality Texture Pack

[Fan of Saints]

I figured you might want the full textures including the enhanced pavement texture. It's all in the "sr2_alwaysload_user" files. I did however enhanced the color of brick and the street curbs that are yellow so they match the original Saints Row game.

Just tried this out and it looks so nice, thank you!

You're welcome. There's still a lot of work to do and I'm still trying to find all the yellow strips that goes on all the different roads though as they also need enhanced

Here you go.

Note: They're basically the same texture only darkened

This dark texture upset the whole balance.
I've modified the entire texture to be used on the road, but the good results not obtained.

SR2 engine often handle textures with unusual way.
For example, it ignore the texture's mipmap and replaces the mipmap with another texture.
Therefore change of texture is not properly reflected.

We need to pay attention about possibility that causes confusion when we apply major changes to the texture.

(sorry, my english ability isn't enough...)

Which textures did you use? The ones in the "Pavement Textures" didn't contain all the textures but I did uploaded the files "sr2_alwaysload_user.peg_pc" and "sr2_alwaysload_user.g_peg_pc" which do have all the textures in it including the asphalt textures. My mistake though for not putting them into the Pavement Texture zip file, sorry.

Them square and rectangle things you see on the roads are called toppatches. Just like the ones that are in real life cities, they repair their roads with these. Some are made with asphalt and gravel.

Oh I see. That looks great!

Actually I'd made the texture of the road too.
My texture feel close to the original.

 

[Masamaru]

The next version is going to add a texture of small items such as machinery.
I also tried to make a grime texture, but it is quite difficult for me.

Yes, they are your textures I only darkened them. Also have you noticed the El Train tracks and the fog color in the distance in my pics? Saints Row 1 had the same fog color but as for the El Train tracks there was still more work to be done as you can see in this pic from the first game.

What type of grime texture you're trying to make and what color? I may be able to help

I do not aim to reproduce the color tone of the SR1. I'm simply aims to improve the image quality of SR2.
In addition I'm considering color/contrast in case of using shinobu"fix mod of squarealex when making texture.

I do understand that you want to improve the image quality of SR2 but I did ask you a question, "What type of grime texture you're trying to make and what color? I may be able to help" , but you haven't answered me. Anyway, you are doing a great job with the HQ Texture pack and I could help you make that grime texture I asked you about. Did you know why I darkened them pavement and roads? That was my idea to make the game look more beautiful since SR1 and SR2 don't have them roads and pavements like that
