tales of symphonia High-res textures

[Garteal]

I'm excited for the Tales of Symphonia port that's coming for PC soon, so I'm going to spend some time on continuing this HD texture project. Maybe in a fresh thread with a up-to-date compatible texture pack for all game regions.

@Bobby what are you trying to dump exactly? Start/Battle portaits? Status screen portraits?
Everything should dump properly if you have the option enabled and simply have the game load up the textures you want unless a (recent) change messed up things.

Hopefully we'll be able to port the textures created to the PC version :3

Skit portraits. Skits play, but only certain portraits seem to be dumping.

I had no idea a PC port was on the way. That's exciting!

Didn't even hear about the port until this thread was bumped. Sweet.

Haven't touched much in the PC modding area but I imagine back-porting textures should be a relatively easy process. Battle HUD stuff that isn't related to mugshots is really going to depend on how the texture's handled though. Dumping it on the GC version resulted in several color variations of the HUD.

I'm super excited for the PC port just for the fact it might be easy to hack in new textures. Bamco really didn't give the PS3 port much of a budget at all, even using stuff from the PS2 version instead of the GCN. The battle portraits aren't even new. They just took the skit portraits and used those.

Will the PC port run at 30 FPS like the PS2/PS3 version did? Or 60 FPS like the GameCube?

I'm hoping it'll be at 60.

Back on topic, however, I've gotten some skit portraits to dump, but for some reason certain ones just aren't showing up in the dump folder. I tried using the file names for those that I was missing from the WIP folder in the current HD texture set, but I'm guessing those are either not right or not from the US version of the game because they don't work.

Yep. Hoping they won't mess with the texture packing so that we can replace them and not have to alter things again.

Probably the PS3 port and hopefully at 60FPS. Otherwise someone will make sure it'll run at 60.

Which ones aren't dumping? I'll see if it dumps for me.
Also the current HD pack is not compatible with the latest Dolphin version as there has been some changes with the texture format. Read this thread for more info. GameDominator actually converted the old textures to the new format, so you can use these as well (https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-tales-of-symphonia-high-res-textures?pid=365493#pid365493)

Just incase: dump with the latest Dolphin version so that the textures will be compatible.

That's what I've been trying to do, but some of them simply aren't dumping. Download this zip file and you'll see which are good and which I'm missing. Those in the "own" folder came from my dumps, those in the "other" folder came from the texture pack, but the filenames must not be the same for the version I'm running because applying those does nothing. I pulled the file names for the textures that aren't dumping from the "NotHD" folder.

Not sure what's happening to you then. Everything dumps fine on my end.
