Which size .dds files to use for textures

[nin808]

Hello all,

 

I'm taking a stab at upscaling some textures, and I'm not sure which .dds files to extract. I see there's a textures file in the core folder, as well as two other ones for medium and high. Should I grab from all three? It seems when I extract everything, many of the textures have multiple size versions - for example:

 

c_ashwrath_0d.dds

c_ashwrath_0dl2.dds

c_ashwrath_0dl3.dds

 

are all the same texture, just in different sizes. Should I upscale all three, or do I only need one for the overwrite folder?

2 and 3 are the further distances (3 being the furthest, hence why also the smallest size). Only the non-numbered is close range and in cutscenes.

 

You only need to do all three if recolouring (like I did for

Elvorn's Grande Bestiary (Creature Recolours)), improving textures at the other lods, might not even be noticed but you might at the 2 range.

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense.

Yeah, you prolly just need to do the non-numbered. Good luck!
