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

**frozenwings** · (This post was last modified: 05-12-2014, 10:34 AM by frozenwings.)

I was loading from a save state right after Dickson in order to dump space land IDs. I'm going to try beating the game not from a save state.

Echoes: Ah, I don't use any other texture packs for any of my other games. In fact, the only Wii game I've played on Dolphin is Xenblade. All my other games I've played on my Wii.

I do play a lot of gamecube games though (Skies of Arcadia, Baiten Kaitos, and Tales of Symphonia being my favorites). Although I did recently pick up the Tales of Symphonia collection for PS3, so I probably won't touch the GC version of that ever again.

Edit: Yup, worked fine this time. Apparently the game doesn't like doing the new game plus thing from a save state. On a side note, I thought you could gem craft at the start of a new game plus. Guess not?

Ah glad you found out it. I didn't use any save states so far. I'm currently...

in space getting wiped to the floor by Zanza. I got him 4/5 of the way down then Sharla vegged out at a crucial moment and I didn't have a party bar to save me. Maybe I should have tried this at a higher level than 74 LOL. I made some gem changes so I got him this time.

Awesome. Yeah, he can be tricky to defeat under level 80.

Do I still have to wait until later to have access to the mobile gem thing? For some reason I thought I was able to right at the start of a new game plus.

Also worked on some stuff.

Looks good. Smile

Unfortunately my master cheat freezes the game without everyone in the party I think, so that sucks. It works on all my other save files. I don't even remember all that went into it, and the page that I found them on is no longer there. Ah well.

Try this one. The gradient is a bit lighter this time, but I'm uncertain how the border is. Maybe it looks better in game. If not I'll do a better one, but its hard to make a nice border when its only this thin.

Edit: Took it down for a minute, I got a better one coming.
Edit 2: Yeah I like this better.
Edit 3: Also, there was a few UI things you did on the gem crafting screen that I don't think you ever uploaded. I seen the screenshot way back but there was no attachments.

Edit 4: Added a "thinner yet" version too. Take your pick. The attachment window makes it look lighter than it really is.

This post has the pack, although I think the only two you should grab out are:

SX4P01_0268ee2c_0.png

Everything else we already have or have a better version. Might want to double check. I'm pretty sure you already have the big arrow and party window, you remade the black bar, and also touched up the gem man. The three in the separate folder are the invisible glow effects for all of the various "button" bars.

Spoiler: (Show Spoiler)

I think I like the thinner one a little more. I'm going to test it out, I'm working on a bunch of crap right now and also dealing with a screaming 2 year old. It's aggravating.

Ok let me know which one you want to go with. I'm currently separating a 3k dump filter, batching it, then its off to prison island to finish up the map. And I also had those files, I forgot about that pack. I must have grabbed them out at the time.

Edit: Also I found out something useful. I was getting irritated because I often accidentally control click drag which creates a copy of all the files I'm trying to select. I'm not sure if you have this issue, but there's a way to increase the amount of pixels you have to drag before it registers a "drag n' drop" event. Just gotta change DragHeight and DragWidth in the registry editor. I changed it to 50 pixels, default is 4. It takes a PC restart to take effect.

It most likely has the same location/values in Windows 7.

Edit: King Typo
Edit Omega Alpha Beta Final: Ready to batch them whenever. I'll wait on your decision on which of those pawns you want to go with. I'd test them myself but well... I'm lazy. Tongue

Nice, I do have that problem actually from time to time. It really almost messed me up one time because I didn't even realize it happened until I was double checking my folders, it was crazy.

I'm going to have to check it out.

I also found out that you still can't do gem crafting til later in a NG+, I don't know why I thought otherwise. So yeah, no reason to try and redo the beginning of the game just for the gem trick. I'm still going to make a fast run to makna so I can dump the collectopaedia and party screen. But yeah, should be pretty quick.

Edit: I think the thinner one better.

Edit again: Narcku, I like the new Shulk hair a lot. I think this hair flap needs a little work though to match the quality of the rest of it.

Also, Zanza looks amazing. I do like the transparent background a lot better (for the eyes).

**StripTheSoul** · 05-12-2014, 07:09 PM **#1,438**

Yeah, I'm actually playing through the game for the first time (my Wii is defect); taking my time to take it all in, too (okaaay, all except every inch of Eryth Sea O_o ... why don't they have water-ski??)
It's actually the first JRPG I've really played for yeeears. I dunno, the other ones I've tried were just too copy-paste for my taste.
Anyway, so yeah, I'm trying to stay clean of spoilers ^^

So, you got your NG+ save working now, frozenwings? If not, you do know there's a game thread? If you ask there, chances are someone knows the solution. Also, if stuff is acting weird, don't use save states Wink

You need something from the Makna Forest collectopaedia? I've got them all complete up until Eryth Sea/Tomb (included).

Added hair flap and updated the hair again.
But on second thought, just use the old version(hair & hair flap).
It may be lower-res but it fits better.

Did it solve the clipping issue?
If it did, then maybe we should use that one as the main eyes.

**Bighead** · (This post was last modified: 05-12-2014, 09:10 PM by Bighead.)

I was gonna ask what the difference was between the floating eyes and the one surrounded by flesh, but I think I got my answer. Eyes are not something we should offer options for because there's already so many optional textures, and making someone test out eyes seems pointless if we can pick the best ones. Which ones would you guys suggest using as the "main eyes" for the pack?

And he fixed his issue narcku, he was using save states. Tongue

Echoes I updated your other straploaders for you. I don't know if I'm going to do the shulk in satorl marsh one or update poweredbykimchi's, they would take a bit more effort. You already did all the hard work for these ones, I just slapped a new image over them to match the old ones. I would have got creative and changed the top image, but I lost the logo. There's no HQ transparent ones that I could find, so the one for the straploader I did I used a logo surrounded in black, cleaned it out, and added a shadow. Even though it only takes a few seconds (less than it took to type out this post lol), still too lazy. Plus I would have had to look at pictures again. Tongue

I was browsing through the Spanish text, and noticed there were some duplicates to remove so I removed them. These include stuff like numbers and symbols and blocks of 4 letters that are exactly the same as the english ones, so there is no point in having both. Anyway, I came across 3 textures in there that are not in our current text folder. I'm wondering where these are used, I'm including them as attachments.
