Port improved/better quality textures from TSL #32

Closed DarthParametric closed 2 years ago

DarthParametric commented 5 years ago

As suggest by @JCarter426 in #22, I've created a new issue for this.

There are some textures that may have better quality versions in TSL. Either repaints, like N_CommF01 for example, or higher resolution. We should assess how many textures that may be, and if we want to include them in the patch.

For resolution, it should be simple enough to do a file size comparison on matching filenames. Improved quality though will require manual inspection.

Here is a list of textures with matching filenames that have a larger TSL equivalent. Most of these are player portraits, which means they probably aren't relevant.

It seems this is more the sort of thing for K2CP, as there are more relevant textures in K1 that could be ported to TSL (albeit issues with envmaps in some cases).

Edit: Yeah, the heads are a bust. It looks like they had access to higher res source art from Bioware, but they made a lot of mesh and UV changes (like different hair) so there are lots of paintovers. It's possible PFHB05 might work, and that appears to have minimal changes, but it seems pointless to upres one head when you can't do the rest.

N_Commx07 is higher res in TSL, but I'm not even sure if is used in K1, since it is just a lower res copy of N_CommxD01. Twilek_F01 is a different shade in TSL, so that would probably need adjusting to match the brighter K1 version. At this point it seems like N_CommF01 is pretty much the only one worth considering.

JCarter426 commented 5 years ago

Looks like the 7th variation is used. g_a_clothes08 points to that texture variation, and I see it used by a few UTCs. I'd be in favor of replacing N_CommM01 as well.

DarthParametric commented 5 years ago

Ah, they do the same thing with N_CommM01 that they did with N_CommF01. I hadn't noticed. So the list would be:

N_CommF01 N_CommM01 N_CommF07 N_CommM07

Is that it?

JCarter426 commented 5 years ago

That should be it as far as replacing, yeah. I also have some touch-ups from my minor fixes that I haven't added yet.

DarthParametric commented 5 years ago

In the same vein as this, albeit already included in K1's files, is a higher res version of N_CommFC01, the texture for Czerka_Protcol_OfficerF.

DarthParametric commented 2 years ago

It seems that N_CommF07/M07 was actually replaced with TSL's F11/M11, which is a dirty version of their repainted F01/M01.
