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

[ddl25]

Thanks for all the work on this, text especially looks nice.

I have one problem with the PS3 controller textures - it looks like the X button is assigned to where 'a' would be on the classic controller. Is it assumed that the player switched the controls for those buttons? Maybe Layberneth plays that way, I dunno - I like the default controls

I know the obvious answer is to just rename the textures, which I have done. But there appear to be two textures in the folder (SX4P01_3399a439_8.png and SX4P01_8905c312_9.png) that don't have any equivalents of the other buttons. One is the X button at an angle, and the other is a larger O button texture.



Does anyone know where these are used, or if they're even important?

Edit: The larger circle button is seen at the start of combat in the middle of the screen, and the oblong X button is used to advance dialog. If I were to make replacements for these, would anyone be interested in me posting them here?

Also, is there any texture pack for just the Classic Controller button layout that I may have missed? That might be nice to fall back on.

I realise this isn't directly related but does anyone have any numbers on how much this slows the emulation down? Or would it be negligible assuming your graphics card can hold the higher textures?

The only slowdown that I really notice is when Dolphin first loads the textures into the cache. For instance, entering combat for the first time loads your Arts icons, etc. I don't want to generalize too much about others' experiences but I didn't notice any FPS drop below 30 yet, on a 6950 2gb and i5-2500k. Right now I am only using 2.5x internal resolution, though, and with no AA.

Okay so first off, I'd like to thank all the contributes to this project, I'v been playing Xenoblade with this pack and it's all kinds of awesome.

That said, this may sound sort of like a needy question but I see a ton of progress since Rev. 4.1U back in September 2012. Has there been a new pack compiled since then that I am somehow missing, or is this project becoming more of a "pet" project for individual texture uploads?

Don't get me wrong, I'm fine either way. I saw some pretty amazing armor and weapon updates some pages back and I would love the chance to play the game with them. With my limited artistic ability I'm at a loss to upgrade any on my own.


Thanks again!

There hasn't been an official update since 4.1. Just quite a few additions by certain individuals. Poweredbykimchi might do a compiled update at some point, but I don't want to speak for him.

A few pages ago I posted a two part rar that contained most of the uploads made since the 4.1 release in addition to my own dumps/retextures. It's not really anything official, and is a little more complex to install than the official pack although still pretty easy. It's organized mostly so people can pick and choose what they want to install, and so that any person talented in photo shop can rework the tougher to do textures without having to dig around for the texture ID.

In regards to the Armor and weapon retextures, the person who posted those has been pretty silent since then and I doubt he is still working on them. No one else has said anything else about working on those textures.

Thanks, that definitely clarifies!

I see that Messiagov had dumped a ton of textures for the game, before I go fooling around with them does anyone know if these include world textures or if they are isolated only to icons/characters/etc?

I'm not talented with Photoshop but my girlfriend is and I'm willing to give some editing a shot.

So after a bit of playing around I made some HD grass. This replaces the textures for the grass on Bionis Leg and Colony 6. I have no idea what the grass texture codes are for the other areas (Colony 9, etc.) but I rather enjoy it.

EDIT: Fixed grass and re-uploaded

Looks good, I'll definitely give it a go on my next play through. Might be a while though, steam summer sale made me a bit crazy.

I hear that, my Steam game collection is now somewhere around the 115 mark, most of which I haven't played yet. Damn you summer sale!!

Is it still necessary to use Any Game ID Converter for this to work?
