Wolf: ET HD Options

[Wolf Enstein]

I did this yesterday, $mart mate, in order to try and ascertain what would be involved for you, in respects to learning how to create an HD pack for "Wolf: ET". I wondered if it would be as complicated as my "RtCW" HD experience and the answer is, "Yes it definitely is." .

Learning to re-texture things in this environment is very difficult at times and can really grind you down. Anyway, I chose one map, "Siwa Oasis", for a quick texture run-through and spent several hours replacing the old textures. Here's some screenshots, using "ET: Legacy". I'm using the vanilla renderer here, I can't find how to upscale this setting, for some reason I only have this option available in my "ET: Legacy" settings.













































I changed most of the textures, the props and the plants, but there's still much more to do. When I finish my "RtCW HD" pack I'll make one for "Wolf: ET" for you, amigo .

Nice work so far, Gman.

Looks kick ass to me!

[Wolf Enstein]

Thanks, lads . That was just the first texture pass, I've now updated it and changed just about everything, including the old ground textures which, although they were great for their time, looked very flat and featureless today. I've used a combination of 4 different sand textures to achieve the look I wanted.

Here's more screenshots:































I've got a couple of small models to finish and that will be "Siwa Oasis" retextured.

Nice work once again, Gman. That truck model in particular looks amazing.

The only remade texture that needs some work in my opinion is the tarp/sheet shown on the first screenshot of your last post.

Yep, you're right, mate, it looks too modern, so I changed for something more contemporary to that era:











Thanks for the feedback, Ron, I hope you like the new canvas version .

OMG! It is marvellous !

If it works like HD-ET, it means your work will fit also for other maps (original and/or custom) using the same "textures", example the same sand, the same trees etc … Is-it the case ?

If YES it is the right thing !

Thanks for your work but take your time, initially I just wanted to learn how-to make these things …. OOoooops

Yes, mate, you just put the ".pk3" file in your "etmain" folder and the HD textures will replace the original ones .

I'm glad you like the work so far, lads, I'll carry on with this and see what transpires .

A few new screenshots, this time from Goldrush and Seawall Battery :



















I've still got tons to do, especially on Goldrush, but things are taking shape now.

[Ronboy]

Keep up the remarkable work, Gman.

That's actually nice, but some players doesn't like to download, so it would take quite time to download when you're connecting to a server...
Not arguing just saying.

No problem with that Nico, it will work like the HDET pack : just a big file in etmain folder thant WILL NOT BE DOWNLOADED by ETPlayers.
You and your teammates and regulars will have to download it separetely on wolffiles webiste if they want to.
No mandatory to play with it, no side-effect.
