Texture Sharpening

[Fl0rn]

I tend to ramble, so here's the link and my rambling will be categorized in spoilers.

Before Install

If you want all the files, then you will want to back-up your materials folder.  This overwrites a good portion of the files for r76 there.

Instructions

Read a guide if you need more help than provided.  Download materials.rar and use an extractor such as winrar to open.  Make sure to extract to the data folder, not just mabinogi folder.

Effects

"Sharpens" a lot of the materials/graphics in game.  This does not directly alter sprites or pmgs, it alters the skin/color of what would cover your pmgs.  The following screenshots are incomplete version involving characters but not background, this mod itself is 'complete' though.

Notes/Rambling

If there's any files besides a .dds file, then you have downloaded the wrong thing.  There's an alteration to common_effect.dds, (material/fx/effect) make sure to replace or remove it if you dislike changes to basic effects.

There's slight-mild discoloration from this mod.  I'm aware of this but most of it is minor enough that i do not intend to fix it.  If there's a big problem with the mod, such as a graphic not loading or a color/skin just being completely wrong, then i can attempt to fix that.

I will not be held responsible for any problems with or derived from this mod.  This is to be used at the player's sole discretion so the player will be responsible for any dilemmas relating to this mod.

Seems like mobs look more realistic.

That's the xfire thing skai.  Places somewhere in game window upon gamestart, i simply moved mine down to the bottom.

Oh, right. Didn't notice it as I was on an iPad.

/Never used xfire

Attaching a few more screens.  Finishing some things and fixing up a few other things, then i'll get it up and a link up.  This'll basically amount to what i'll refer to as a rough draft though, there's a number of discolorations and a few odd looking things.

Felt this one should be attached too.  You can more or less see what i've been doing, and yes i know, funny looking dust clouds off my stomp.

Thinking of uploading this somewhere after i'm closer to done if anyone wants to help test and/or give feedback, lot of material edits though, won't stack with something like sinner's lag mod.  No pmg changes are made.

The clouds make Mabinogi look more cartoonish, lol. And I find it strange that there are gaps in the maps, but that's kinda how lag reducing mods are I suppose.

I think i have the major kinks worked out, so i updated the first post with a link to the files i'm currently using.  One of those things i don't mind sharing, but i probably won't work on it anymore for public release.

Try working off of this:

I believe you're trying to Bumpmap textures in Mabinogi.

Sorry to necro a thread, but does anyone know if this still works?  If so, updated link or tutorial please?

Can it be used?  Yes.  Is it updated?  No.   Does it have problems?  Yes.

There are certain files, like the hair and eyes, which have to be updated regularly, but this mod does not have the updates.  So the game will be missing graphics.  You can technically use the mods still, there will be no crashes i don't think, but you can expect things in game to be invisible.


EDIT:  This is an old old thing i worked on.  I already deleted it off media-fire and it was wiped off this site by whatever problem a while back.  More recent version, with the same problems, can be found here:

Okay thanks, I'll see how it works and what I can troubleshoot
