"Retro-Porting" / [RELEASE] [1.12][Vanilla] Upscaled textures
« on: December 30, 2020, 04:17:39 pm »
Hello everyone, this is my first attempt with a custom Patch.
I'm using these great patches provided in this forum:
- [Classic to Wotlk+]New tilesets for Wow
- [1.12] Improved Models Patch: With Wolves!
Which improve a lot textures and some basic models of the game, and I can't imagine playing without them anymore.
Some textures though have been completely changed, and the main cities don't give the "Vanilla" feeling anymore (they look like completely different places!).
This is not a complaint, as many may like them, and it may be interesting to breath some fresh air sometimes, but I prefer the "original" appearance of the cities.
Because of this I prepared this patch where I took the original textures and upscaled them to 512x512 in order to "overwrite" the textures of the custom patches to restore the "original" cities (without modifying the other patches) with better textures.
As the starting textures are the original ones, the improvement is not as great as it could be with completely new textures, but it is still appreciable.
In this patch I didn't overwrite all the textures of the cities, as some were just fine to me, I just tried to restore the original feeling of them. In addition I upscaled also many dungeon, raid, npc, objects and mounts texture.
Despite the patch was born to overwrite the textures of the other 2 patches, it still can be used on its own as it just improves existing textures without any other modification, so you can try it even with a plain vanilla game to improve the situation.
List of all the Patches in the link:
- Patch-3: [Classic to Wotlk+]New tilesets for Wow (not made by me!)
- Patch-4: [1.12] Improved Models Patch: With Wolves! (not made by me!)
- Patch-5: Restore most of Darnassuss. It is on a different patch because I'm not using it, I like the hybrid city I've created with just the patch-6. A friend asked for it though, so I just created it too. You can try the patch 6 only and then decide if you want this one too!
- Patch-6: Cities restored with upscaled textures and better textures here and there (my main patch!)
- Patch-d: This is just an easter egg which I made! I suggest you to put it together with the other ones, without watching what it contains! When you'll see it in the game you will just have a laugh! (Soon or later you will see it for sure, and you will understand that it is the easter egg! If you recognize it and like it, just remember to not tell here in the forum what it contains, leave the oter ones with the possibility to discover it by chance too
! If you won't like it, you will have just to remove it
