Version 8.5 is out!
Sorry for the nearly 5 month delay, I planned on having this out in January but became sidetracked with other projects. 1080p pack is finished uploading, 2160p should be done within the hour.
- The biggest change is I remade the main font texture. It's a little different but I think it more closely matches the original font, is consistent across all languages, and also fixes issues such as the one mentioned in this post: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-xe...#pid460445
- The mipmap fix pack is now included, so workarounds like using GPU Texture Decoding are no longer required.
- UI textures have been upscaled using waifu2x with my script for higher resolutions, meaning a sharper UI for 4k monitors when using the 2160p version of the pack. I was lazy adding this feature to my script which is a big part of why this update took so long. You can see some of the results in this post: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-cu...#pid469659
- There were some fixes and updates to some environment textures. The color of the platforms over the lake on Bionis' Leg did not match the color of the cliffs so it was made to be more consistent. Some mipmap effects were added to like the purple flowers in Eryth Sea and shimmer on some platforms. Other stuff that I can no longer remember. These use the "_arb" suffix so a recent development version is required.
I'm also no longer supplying "compatibility" packs because they were less than 5% of the downloads. I think most people who would use this texture pack at least have graphics cards that support DX11. If not, the PNG pack can still be found on Google Drive, and users can convert them using my texture tool. I may change my mind in the future if enough people complain that they can't use the latest pack, although I can't see them running it smoothly with older graphics cards anyway.
