Sure, but this pack does work with master, doesn't it? It just crashed after you converted the files.

yeah, with stuttering, which is why I wanted them converted them to png.

Why? They will stutter more in PNG format. Or did you convert them to make them smaller?
Is there no tool which can resize DDS's directly?

Here is a converted file.

It was just a sample from my batch conversion for comparison.

Did he say anthing about a licence? If you'd release this pack with for example by CC-By-SA, it'd be easier for the next guy to adopt this pack in some years.

Ignore this, It seems to have fixed itself over the course of a few new builds. Remember my builds are experimental.

Right now it's playing preloaded with dds stutter free.

Damn, i can't quote the closed thread but i've reconstructed the quotes with their proper links and dates.

I have converted almost all of textures to dds, I know there is some loss in quality but I keep the original pngs untouched for when the emulator gets better/hardware gets insanely fast. With DDS I notice less stutter but it's still obvious that it's there. However, if I use a custom Dolphin f40ab1a (Ishiiruka-Dolphin) and OpenGl render there is 99.9% less stutter when using DDS. Using PNG the stutter is the same as all version of Dolphin.

The preloading is the best feature regarding custom textures, since the removal of the 2048x2048 limit (god bless you [color=green]neobrain[/color]). I'm glad this pack was finally released (lots of fresh material and FIXES for those playing the game at high resolutions) but in light of the new preloading feature i'm pretty sure he'll release it as PNG in the near future. The only reason he chose DDS is because that worked best with the old format's safe mode.

At first i intended to retexture nothing more than the HUD and the main particles for SMSS/SMG1, but i ended up retexturing a few (but not nearly enough) other textures as well. It was a nice ride (and the only constant in all of my projects was my obsession with everything being AT LEAST 8 times the orignal size) but i no longer have the time to work on it so i'm extremely grateful someone is willing to take over the project.

I'm not trying to distance myself from the stuff i've worked on (in the end everyone can see my threads when checking my profile) and i'm still gonna lurk these forums, just not gonna retexture.

I told CDAMJC that this is no longer my project (even asked around about a way to transfer ownership of the thread) and that he shouldn't mention me in his thread because as long as the quality (and the whole at least 8x the original size) is there ... my legacy's intact. Main reasons why i'm so confident in the future of this pack are:

the quality is there in both the size and the style (keeping as close as possible to the original wii textures)
he's way more dedicated (and focused) than i am... trust me, the project's in better hands than it was with me
i'd rather have him take over the project rather than turn it into a community project

But my prefference aside, i totally dig the CC-By-SA pedigree format.

I wanted to release a HUD&particles version for SMG2 as my last project but since CDAMJC decided to take over SMG i thought it's best he should do that. I made the SMG2 exclusive icons almost 3 years ago and i sent them to CDAMJC so you should totally spam him to release a SMG2 pack ... in PNG Tongue

Humble as ever, Razius Wink

Your HUD elements are some of the best HD textures I've every seen. And since they are in this pack and always to be seen, your contribution won't be forgotten Smile

Shouldn't a lot of the SMG2 textures actually be the same as in SMG1? Of course, the naming will be different, but at least the textures wouldn't have to be done from scratch.
CDAMJC, consider yourself spammed! ;P
