Description
All textures have been up scaled by 4x using AI Up scaling. To install this mod without destroying your game files, follow the tutorial on the Red Faction wiki: www.redfactionwiki.com/wiki/Installing_Clientside_Mods_(RF1) I highly recommend you use Dash Faction with this mod. The textures won't look right without it, and it also adds other graphics options you may want to use. You can get Dash Faction from dashfaction.com Captain Dagon.

Nice! How long did this take?
Amazing! :3
Cool, thanks man :D
Nice work ! I want to take my CD and play it now :)
Wow, this looks good. Time to boot the original back up again!
Just going to add quickly that if you're using this upscale pack, I would 100% recommend applying the Dash Faction community-made patch for Red Faction. Without Dash Faction, RF doesn't properly handle large textures, and they'll appear to "flicker" constantly and look really awful. Dash Faction fixes this issue entirely, and you can enjoy the upscaled textures in peace. :)
You can download Dash Faction here: Factionfiles.com
Dash Faction also adds anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering, among other graphical enhancements.
I wrote up a comparison chart of the official versions and community-made patches, as well as a quick start guide for the game - you can view both at Redfaction.help
Just downloaded this and was playing it in Dash Faction and I noticed that the hud is a bit messed up. The weapon select and the portraits from radio messages and such.
Any way to fix?
Yeah, portraits, ammo and weapon icons don't play well with higher size images. I took the textures starting with portrait_ and ws_ from the original packs and put them back into ai upscale packs using VPVIEW32 and VPPBUILDER32. I couldn't find ammo file names.
Here are the files I found. There are is one file which ends with _portrait. There may be more, didn't have time to search. You can place them in corresponding vpp files in VPPBUILDER32 to have normal portraits (the complete archive is too big, sorry).
Dropbox.com
As mentionned by someone else, textures for portraits and weapons in HUD are bugged, a fix would be appreciated.
Hey there, just wanted to add that there are working AI upscale mods on the community mod site: Factionfiles.com

I used Descent Manager Toolkit and extracted the original textures from the game files and then replaced them in the mod files.
