This is an updated and maintained version from this post (http://mabimods.net/index.php?topic=14959.0)
Several of the mods clashed with newer updates, including invisible skill icons, no textures on certain pets, and more. This update rebuilds the entire HD mod, keeping what works and fixing what doesn't.
I will be releasing the update one pack at a time, striving to keep the file size down to as small as possible. I will release a data folder version and a .pack version. Note: If you are using any of the old HD mods, remove them entirely before installing. I can't guarantee there won't be conflicts otherwise.
All credit goes to Angelsky from yydzh (http://tinyurl.com/angelsky2) for making the original mod, and Kuya00 from Mabimods for bringing this mod to our doors.

If you are using the data folder version do this:
1:Download the desired files (will be in .rar format, which you will need 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org) or winrar (http://www.win-rar.com/download.html) to extract.
2:Extract the .rar to your mabinogi folder (if done properly, you should just have a data folder in your mabi folder, if you see tons of new ones, you may have borked something)
3:Run data packer or your chosen packing method
If you are using the .pack method, follow this closely
1:Download the desired files (will be in .rar format, which you will need 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org) or winrar (http://www.win-rar.com/download.html) to extract.
2:Extract the files, and you should have .pack files
3:copy these to X:\nexon\mabinogi\package (you should see numerous other .pack files)
4:right click all of the mods you added and turn them to read-only.
If you do not click read-only, they will be deleted when you launch mabinogi, UNLESS you always use a 3rd-party launcher or use the direct launch shortcut
Also; when the .pack file is used, if it is in read-only mode, the data packer will NOT overwrite the contents of these files, any of their contents will dominate. To bypass this, turn off read-only mode until after using datapacker (both to enable and remove mods) and then change it to read-only before launching the game.

This is a Google Drive link that contains a folder with all of the mods in both data and .pack versions. Later there will also be torrent links here for the larger downloads.

Note: I take no credit for the original, only for repacking and maintaining this mod. Any new games files (such as new NPC portraits) will be made to match the standards set by the original HD mod to the best of my ability.
I decided to keep the files in pieces both for file size, ease of updating, and so people can choose what they want.
If you have any issues or notice anything funky, post it here or PM me. I will attempt to fix any issues as soon as possible. The more descriptive you are, the better I can help. Screenshots are a boon.
