4Aces Full Texture Upgrade : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 2:05 am

Just checked out your website and a lot of those pics look good. I do have two comments though:

1. NPC's eyes look like they're wearing mascara. Something with your process that brings out the black levels is making the lines around NPC's eyes too dark, which leads to my next comments

2. The radio. The lines around the dials that indicate what function the radial knob is pointing to are too black. Granted, the originals are far too light, yours almost look like a stencil has been spray-painted (in black) on the face of the radio.

Beyond that, I really enjoyed the ground / house / brahmin / metal armor texture sharpening you've done.

good 'ol Beth changed their BSA standards again.

What? No, they haven't. I mean, I've been using OBMM to pack/unpack BSA files for FNV, and everything's been working fine!

I do not want to use that method since I want to disable the Vanilla BSA altogether. In F3 I had problems where the game engine would ignore ArchiveInvalidation and just use the originals if they were available (in some cases, it was pretty strange). If the BSAs were renamed, then it was forced into following instructions and used my textures. Instead of asking the users to rename their BSAs I realized that I can just remove the names of the Vanilla BSAs from the Fallout_default.ini and insert mine. This guarantees that all Vanilla files are out of reach of the game and that mine are used. It also makes the users FOMM list a little shorter, though texture mods do not really clash.

As far as I know, using an ESP removes the need for ArchiveInvalidation AND forces the game to use the included textures, though. Or is there an issue with the process that I'm not aware of?

As to the preview pictures... what's with all the black lines? What is this, Borderlands? I mean, sure, if you want the game to look like that, it's your call - but I wouldn't say you should be calling it an "upgrade" then, huh?

OH JESUS IT'S STARING IN MY SOUL
Seriously, facial changes are VERY over-the-top in my opinion. It's a wasteland desert, not a beauty contest.

Will this also improve the scaled down distant textures?

I'm with Rovlad, the eyes are radiating too much white, also why the eyeliner? My char isnt into cosmetics

Questions raised

Around the eyes - Females have makeup and some alteration that made them appear better in F3. Since most people are using face/body replacers I did not get any negative feedback in F3. If this is a problem in FNV I can easily release a patch to return to the original texture. Males have no such makeup, so the darkness is likely due to the normal map. I will take a look at it and see if it might be too deep around the eyes. Please keep this up - tell me when you see something that does not look right. I will always check it out, and make sure it was not a mistake.

Eyes are too white - It sure looks like you are right from that shot. I will take a look at a few more, and then the texture to see what happened. These were just port's from F3, so I am not sure why they are so white. Probably due to the Obsidian shaders. It probably looks better when running Fellout (FNV version of course) - which I just got but have not loaded yet. I will let you know if I am patching the eyes or just promoting this version of Fellout like I did for F3.

The radio was included just to show that not everything looks good. Better yes, but not necessarily good. I am working on re-texturing most of the low-res/low-detail textures like the radio to make them better. I started with the landscape and will be doing Architecture next, since they are the most common textures seen in the game (there are only a few radios - which are part of the Clutter folder I believe). I may also take a detour and do some weapons and possibly some armor. I was going to open it up to you. Pick your most hated textures, take a screen shot and post them, and I will fix them. I will be creating a unique thread for this, and you should not start this until you get my mods running. That way you might be pleasantly surprised and find that I have already fixed it.

As for the BSAs issues - that was my bad. Packing them was not the issue, it was the fact that they are using a confusing TWO INI file system. Every time I used the launcher this silly system would overwrite my changes to the falllout.ini file. Likewise, making changes just to the fallout_default.ini would not work, since by that time I was using the 4GB enabled shortcut (not using the launcher). Instead I found that by editing the fallout_default.ini file (in the game's main directory), and then copying the bloody thing over fallout.ini (or just launching the game via the launcher - it is easier), the BSAs would actually load.

I did confirm my F3 finding that BSAs not only have a maximum size limit of around 1.7GB (before files inside will be corrupt in the game - but are fine if the BSA is later unpacked), but that FNV will only use about 3GB of additional files when packed into BSAs. If you try more than that the extra files are not loaded. So I had to go back to loose files for HiRes, though RegRes is in BSA form. Strange that in BSA form there is a limit, but loose means you can have infinity (or at least +6GB).

LOD textures: This will improve the majority of LOD textures, a few of which were rebuilt from the full sized texture (as the LOD version were really LoRes for some reason).

News
For those that have not visited my site here is your brief 411 on my mods - I have a bunch of them done (RegRes & HiRes + others). I am just waiting for the webmasters of the two sites (DanManGames.com for paying members only now, and ModCraft.net for free access) to get the files listed. Then I will announce and give details on each. I spent the entire week uploading. I had to stay off my browser just in case it was causing the file corruption and have uploaded approximately 70 GB @ 110 kb/s to get working files on both of those servers. HiRes had to be cut into three files for ModCraft since the 4.6GB file was always corrupt even though it was a bit-perfect match (and the original file on my system was fine). All files on both servers have been downloaded and tested , so they are good to go. Unfortunately they were not listed before the weekend hit, and I hope that this will change on Monday. As soon as I get confirmation I will update my webpage and then come here.

Until then, I am adding more to the Landscape textures right now and will update the file before they are listed. This should make the LODs look more like my Landscape replacements (I hope - it is totally untested right now) and less like the F3 Washington wasteland. I will be putting pics up of the HiRes version of my landscape addon in action on my webpage tomorrow. As with all my HiRes work, it will also be available in RegRes (that stands for Regular Resolution in case you were wondering).

Cheers,

4Aces

Hah, Thanksgiving weekend is a bad time to be hoping for quick turnaround on website admins. I'm actually kinda glad though since I'd rather have your full textures including LOD so I'll continue to be patient and wait for everything to be uploaded and listed. I've kinda been putting off playing New Vegas anymore anyway until they release the final patch in the next few weeks so that I can go through and download bugfix mods that they don't fix.

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:00 pm

Glad to see you back, 4Aces! I do not remember which one of the mods I took (FO3 wise) but I do remember that it was great! So I am waiting to see your great work here again (and yes, I did check your web page!

)

Keep up the excellent work!

Can you upload it somewhere else?

Can you upload it somewhere else?

The Bad
I tried. I haven been trying to upload it to ModDB for days but after a file finishes I get a completely white screen and the file disappears.

The Good
The http://fnv.modcraft.net/ It has all the links for all my FNV files, with full descriptions. There is http://www.modcraft.net/community/index.php?showforum=1105 and I have started a thread for any Texture based issues you find. A few known issues are listed and they are being worked on.

The gameplay mod is getting ready for its major test, and I have rebalanced the Power Armor completely, so now it is much more logical. I still have a little work to do, separating out power armor helmets for the repair lists, but that should only take an hour. Now if I can only find some power armor in my game (I just stumbled on combat armor mk II) and I do not want to cheat and read a guide.

I have also started another thread there to see if any other modder is interested in teaming up to get this done more quickly. The response will determine if I do form a team or not.

Please let me know of any download issues, and remember that ModCraft is doing this for free. So if you appreciate not having 10 part-files at 100 kb/s (download speed), then you can earmark part of any donation to me and I will send it to them. I want this service to remain free as much (if not more) than you do. With this kind of free service, hopefully no one will take my mods and stick them in torrents again. There should be no reason to do so.

Anyway, enough pvssyr - go get 'em.

Cheers,

Downloading now. Thanks.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 12:49 am

Hmm. The installation directions seem a little overly complex and the potential for screw ups is huge with these type of .ini. edits. Why not use AI and be done with it?

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 11:00 pm

Unless I am mistaken those instructions are simply for those that dont use AI for whatever reason. Kind of redundant now, but a few months ago, ai for new vegas was in its infancy.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 1:50 am

I would like to use these textures for my subsequent play through, but I also noticed the install was a little scary. What is this AI you speak of?

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 8:48 am

Having problems downloading the HiRes textures. I get about half way though then get disconnected. Have happened several times now. Meshes DL'd fine.

Archive Invalidation. It's the standard way of getting new items into the game. See here:

I downloaded it without a problem here, i'm going to do some play testing tomorrow..

Very cool 4aces! The only thing, for me anyway, as stated in earlier post, is women's makeup, mascara, or whatever... I mean, I've just recruited Veronica and... she just looks aweful! Liked her better with the original makeup... Just feels... too heavy... too dark... too much!

If you can do a little patch, would be nice! It's not game breaking (far from it!) but it's just... strange after some months of playing the original!

I can also state that she's not the only one (Sure you already knew that!). I've created a female character (same thing) and I also checked the women at Helios One (samething).

Keep up the good work!

P.S. I'm on the RegRes (because my PC probably won't take HighRes very well anyway!)

Must have just been too many trying to DL the files as today I got them without a problem.

Agree. This is the easiest way. But the other links, particularly the Dev_Akm article, give some good background knowledge.

Yeah, I agree with Vortaka; Cass went from being a rough and tumble cowgirl to what looks like a rough and tumble brothel girl. Other than that, excellent work! I'll be using these textures for a long time. Thank you!

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 1:14 pm

I kind of like the makeup textures, but it probably be nicer to have them as a separate download. To be fair though, I have not looked at Cass or Ver. yet.

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 11:34 pm

I suppose I'll download once the makeup textures are gone. Or at least separated from the main package.

Until then, I really don't feel like wasting my time and bandwidth downloading huge files only to have Veronica annoy me every time I look at her.

The other textures look damn good though. :tops:
