Which HD textures you use?

[_genetix_]

Well, there's at least 3 of these HD Texture packs available here at Dragon Age Nexus. JB, HiRes Pack 1 and HDR. I've tested them all and game still looks incredible bad(for the note it ain't the textures, heh, it's the vanishing stuff thanks to consoles). Speed issues I don't think so running clean 100FPS everywhere, but hey perhaps I am doing something wrong although can't figure what just dump the textures .dds files to overwrite of game install folder.

 

but I would be curious is there actually an 1 HD texture pack replacing everything?

and what do other people here use to improve textures?

 

Hope no one doesn't get me wrong is I also say that I cannot understand people who doesn't 100% game at top-down view. Only reason I would ever even considering 'over the shoulder' or '3rd person' views would be because of textures or simply of the crazy camera. Being many years IWD, Baldur's Gate fan can't imaging playing decent RPG any other way.

 

opinions on textures anyone?

They don't go on the game install folder. They go in the override folder inside my documents.

Well, actually I tested them on overwrite\ overwrite\textures\high at game folder as well in my documents\..\overwrite\ and documents\..\overwrite\textures\high

 

It doesn't exactly matter where you stick them. game still loads them and yeah, got them, atm, on '\Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age\packages\core\override'. I copied the JB Textures there first dumped the Aces HiRes Pack 1 straight over that. says 3,9GB of textures. Just figured like at least no files are missing. :P

Is there anyway I could improve the top-down view?

 

I mean lets dump there like 4Gb of textures(Maybe if we would replace all the medium quality to ultra high assuming textures switch to medium or something when top-down) and make ground objects stick would be improvement for some odd reason the textures change as soon you go top-down. I cannot really understand how to change that. We have the hardware to run 3 of these games same time, if needed so don't see really where's the problem.

 

I know Aces or HiRes Pack 1 devel/modder is working on entire texture section as far his description of first pack. Wondering, if that means all from top to bottom will be changed.

I don`t feel the need to have a texture addon. >.< Game looks great for me.

heh, have you actually seen HDR or JBTextures? I mean that is some damn impressive stuff to consider.

 

That is if you got equipment to actually use them.

Using JB atm, a little jarring but on the whole better than Vannila.

I installed 4Aces followed by overwriting all possible files with HDR Textures, and then I installed JB over those two. I don't see any problem with conflicting textures. I had installed it precisely like that because I know that 4Aces would never get updated again, and HDR Textures is good, but JB is better. Each pack has at least a few .dds (texture) files that the other does not have. Someone should combine them and make a better mod out of it.
