Title: Graphical overhaul - Screen Shots
Post by: Timu Sumisu on 2009-10-20 13:52:09
Feel free to post nice screen shots showcasing graphical updates. Comparison with the original is optional, but prefered.

Here's a look at the background for Odin:

I see that the moon seems to have rotated :-o

(I'm not complaining; I just found it funny 8-))

Lol, photos from japan of the moon and photos from the US of the moon will be slightly(not much) different.


I'm interested to know how you cleaned up those clouds... They're the same clouds, no doubt about it, but they're much better defined...

The moon is a stock NASA image that was fairly close to the original, i messed heavily with the lighting and color to match it, but yes it's slightly rotated, but ultimately works. For the clouds, I used tineye to search the original and found the same clouds used in many jrpgs, so took the highest rez one i could find (actually the same resolution, just not 8bit) so there was significantly more detail and difinition, upscaled it and made it seamless again. (thers a slight line in there if you're able to notice but we were never able to get rid of it.... wtvs

tineye? explain. Is it a search engine that takes an image as input and outputs all the results it finds that are similar? (I could use something like that...)
Title: Re: Graphical overhaul - Screen Shots
Post by: Timu Sumisu on 2009-10-20 18:59:16
pretty much... you put in an image, or an image url, and it searches the web for all similar or matching imagesg (in part or in whole... the sky i put in is part of a slightly bigger one)

note, its index isnt that big yet, so dont expect to find everything, but its very useful

Ahem!

This is exactly what is being done! :x

Well, except for the character texture remakes, but there are character remake projects out there (remaking the models as well as textures); they're just not part of this project.

If you have a suggestion, make a thread for it. This is a screenshot thread. Those are all things we'd /like/ to do, but expect to wait a very long time for it all to be done.

You know, if I could have only one wish.  Just one.  It would be for you to go away forever.
That's really all I want.. is it so much to ask?  Sigh  :-(



Apologies for continuing off topic.  Any new screenshots? or an update on what you're focusing on now?

speaking of redoing textures for summoning animations:

I would LOVE to see remodeling of summons (original ones of course)

An epic looking alexander casting judgement would make me cry obesebear's tears of happiness.

do you guys use this mod?
Nope, not yet. I'm waiting for it to be finished enough that it doesn't get updated very often anymore. Also, I haven't been playing FF7 lately.

Good to hear your finishing up the menu stuff. Here is a pic of different things you might want to address. The grayed out stuff for sure. I also included moddified time/limit bars and invalid selection finger. The finger is only slightly changed to look less cropped, but still needs work.

Those are the only things I've found that need some attention.

Right on, thanks for bringing this stuff to my attention. Im not sure what to do with the invalid selection pointer though.

On the topic of summons:  I know it's still a work in progress, but I noticed in Alexander and Knights of the Round there were textures that were just black.  I'm not sure if this is how it was before or if there just isn't a texture injected there.

Alexander - on the ground after the line gets drawn/explodes
Knights of the Round - One of the knights (4th or 5th I think) has opaque black textures expanding out instead of whatever is supposed to be there.

This could also be because I didn't apply the patch properly, but I don't think it'd hurt to verify.

Knights of the round has been fixed. Look in the Graphical overhaul for the download. As for alexander im not quite sure what you are referring to

 :) Does the graphical overhaul afect the entire game. also how easy is it to install ,and get working without any errors and lockups
Title: Re: Graphical overhaul - Screen Shots
Post by: sl1982 on 2010-07-19 04:41:35
Some aspects of the entire game. It is fairly easy to install. You need aali's driver, and then run the installer and install the mod. If you have any problems there is a handy faq that has answers to common questions.
