Medal of Honor European Assault HD Texture Project

Medal of Honor European Assault FHD Texture Pack

Hi folks, here for download is a HD texture pack for MoH European Assault. I've started with the multiplayer map "For the Motherland" to pilot the project, remade the fonts in HD, and completed 50% of the various HUD elements in the game. Most of the environment textures are AI upscaled to 2048x2048; a nice step up from 128x128. This is one of my most beloved multiplayer FPS games on the Cube, and I wanted to do it justice for 1080p hence my continuation on this project in my spare time. Please see the screenshots below for some before and after examples.

 This is done completely in my spare time, so no promises on release dates etc.

UPDATES 09/06/2023

Most of the first level is complete. Still working on the weapons and effects. You can tell the developers tried to squeeze every bit of the 24Mb of ram in the cube, the textures are just so small. You can tell this port was scaled down so much compared to the PS2 and Xbox counterparts. They took a lot of effects out, no particle or water reflections, fewer solders on screen, LOD that reduces the polygon count as much as possible and went hard on reducing texture size. AT least we can fix the textures.

Specific textures and mods for Ishiiurka Builds:

Bump/normal mapping may be revisited later. The "auto bump" option works pretty well for now for faking bump mapping.

-Experimental Normal/Specular/Bump map textures for weapons and terrain included in zip file. (Tessellation with forced lighting, and phong lighting must be enabled)
-Shader settings included in pack. SSAO, SSGI, Scene Tonemapping, and Bloom with light scattering are enabled with best settings dialed in using Ishiiurka FX. (*NOTE: Trigger must be set to "On EFB Copy" on the post-processing tab for these to work correctly)

Progress:

-Multiplayer map textures: 20% ("Up in Flames" was done in this update)
-HUD and 2D elements: 40%
-Weapon textures: 25%
-Single player maps: Raid on St. Nazaire - 95% 

Screenshots below are before and after with shaders using Ishiiurka Dolphin:

Game enhancement codes:
-No Culling fix for Widescreen hack
-Experimental 60 FPS code
 
NOTES:
Use this pack with the Widescreen hack, and this no culling code to fix the culled geometry on screen edges.

The experimental 60 FPS code does break gun firing speed in multiplayer and many physics. Game is playable but be prepared for some unexpected twists.

- Rip weapon textures from the Xbox version. They are much larger. See below for an example...

If you're going to use those as a base for editing and refining your own custom textures, that's fine, however, if you're just doing copy+paste, that's going to be an issue with regards to copyright. The original textures from the XBOX version are copyrighted material, thus we're not allowed to redistribute them without permission from the people who hold the rights to them. To avoid any trouble, such textures would not be permissible in a project here. Making your own custom texture based on or inspired by the XBOX textures should be fine, legally speaking, and we encourage that route.

It may seem a little paranoid, but we've had a few other projects that literally copied textures from a different version, which is something we want to avoid for the reasons above. So just be aware of that moving forward.

Otherwise, it looks great so far! This can be moved Custom Texture Forum if you want it there; just let me know.

Oh, shoot. Yeah, I don't want to do that. I want to do the right thing. I will remove the textures from the pack and make my own instead. I appreciate
that! I would be totally cool with having this post moved to the Custom Texture forum. It's been fun to work on this, so there is a strong chance I will continue in it. Is there any way I can edit my original post with a new download link, or should I start a new thread? Thanks.

It's a restriction we put on new accounts. Generally we lift it when we move a thread to the Custom Texture Forum. You should be able to edit things now. No need to make another thread; this one is fine once you update anything you need to.

Good luck with the rest of your project. Glad it looks like you're having fun working with Dolphin

I know this is quite old, but you can upscale the textures with AI to make it quicker without copyright issues.

You know, it's pretty cool what AI can do... Here comes a little update.
