HIGHRES_4X HD PROJECT

Highres 4X HD

The Highres4X project is a full re-scale of the Highres_s3d files at 4X the pixels. Only Classic zones completed. The Zone, Character, and Object files are all rescaled for modern monitors. Although, some items or textures have been brought over from Lowres_s3d for several reasons. It either did not scale well or the Highres files took away the atmosphere that should be present for the Classic feel and/or Memories. The file sizes were adjusted to size in some cases, as some of these Zone files could be over 100K kb, most will be under 60K kb to have less issues with loading/crashing. Many fixes in visual cue's or transparcies were fixed

Main 4X Texture download

- Awaiting upload to internet after zip ( will be here by 7 Feb 2020 after some more testing)

Be Informed: These files are significantly bigger than what the engine is familiar with, I’ve tested this both with and without Texturecache and Texturecompression on/off in eqini file. The effect either way has been minimal as far as zone time. You’ll have a longer zone time overall using this.

Future/current work

There are plans currently in work with Kunark / Timorours, Firona,and Overthere are included with the classic download, then Velious after that.

Water transparencies

Transparent, blue water exchange - Transparency works in several area’s it looks great and has no impact on your underwater vision. Added only to cities and shorelines. You will still have to get aqua vision or follow Prexus if you want to see clear underwater
