[HD Texture Project] Xenoblade Chronicles (v5.0U - May 17, 2014)

Still finding so many more IDs. I'm curious what's the current texture count + overall file size at this point? I know you mentioned it before and I'm too lazy to go back through the pages again, I'm assuming it's grown by now anyway. When all the IDs are found the texture pack might exceed the size of the disc lol.

And yeah I'm sure that's not why you're telling me to work on maps. Tongue

I'm just about done with Central Factory, finishing up the last largest level now. The next 2 levels will nice and simple and fast, so it will be done soon so I can start Agniratha. Hopefully I can it finished before you start it.

My load folder has 58,265 files. 2.4GB

I have about 3000 files not in the folder that I need to batch still, so We'll be sitting around 62,000 files after that. It's starting to get a bit insane, lol.

Yeah wow, just a little bit lol. This project finally made me pick up a better hard drive today to use as my "main drive" since I like the Dolphin user folder in "Documents". I'm starting to think my old drive is going the other way anyway and it's slow. Gets dull watching folders with over 2k files in it take forever to load, so I'll have to try to clone it to this new drive sometime soon.

Haha, yeah. Usually a new hard drive buy is like "Ugh, I need more space. Need to spend money." It's nice when they're actually a performance increase as well. You need to get on it :p.

On that note, I wish I could have my dump folder on a different hard drive. I think dumping to one hard drive while loading textures from another hard drive could increase performance a bit. Although, I'm sure Dolphin was NOT designed to be loading 60k textures :p.

I think it looks really good, like all of your faces... do I not get a link? Sad

No problem! It was already put together like that to go in the next update. They are all so good looking, it sucks having to choose!

Edit: God, even though I've seen the title screen a thousand times, I still get goosebumps when I sit there and watch the entire loop.

I'll upload once I've tested his field model(iirc, only in 1 boss battle).

Me too, though I skip most of the time Tongue

But when I don't, it's awesome.

Also, nothing new but the brighter version of Melia's hair seems better for me. It looked good here:

Alright, sounds fair. Yes, I think he's only in the field once.

I'm about to get my dump on; want to clear Mechonis Field today.

I forgot to erase the tattoo for field texture but whatever.

Awesome, thanks. Looks really, really good..

Just batched another 2000 textures and getting ready to go in again, will load this up even though I won't see Egil for a bit still.

It's sad, I wanted to finish Mechonis Field today and just spent the past 2 or 3 hours dumping the beginning part of Fallen Arm when everyone is split up. Apparently the "Intro" (party is split up) and the "Normal" (where the entire party is together) Fallen Arm are two separate zones as far as IDs are concerned. Meaning pretty much an extra 3000ish textures just for the starter part.

But, I also looked into this today (with your Blaze-R with FX and trails, etc...:

Spoiler: (Show Spoiler)

Looks like cutscenes use separate lightning textures, which I dug up and colored just for funzies (I included the originals below for you to mess with if you desire.) However, I can NOT change that blue circle. I recolored every single blue texture I found from this scene and nada. I think it's hardcoded.

Lightning swap:
