some elevator interiors do. Id take screenshots but i cant gain control outside the game when running

I know which you are talking about, like begining of mars underground. thats a weird one because I have done that texture and its still pulling the one from the resources for some reason, I think its a material file thing. was planning on looking into to that one.

just push f12 to take a screenshot, then goto users/your name/saved games/IDsoftware/rbdoom3bfg/base/screenshots to see your screenshots.

cool a couple of them are already on my list, they are better than the stock versions tho

Wanted to let you know, that there are few BFG stock textures that have been improved since the release of classic Doom3. For exalmple the main character faces like swann, campbel, sarge, betruger... They have more details than the upscaled classic texture.

Here's a comparison:

on the left side your Hi Def face, on the right side the BFG stock face.

the one I have is not from the stock, but yeah the other looks better. where did you find it?

when its up in 2 hours here is some work I am doing toward improving textures Moddb.com

I run the faster.cfg most the time my card is a piece of junk, when I want I nicer one I run fast.cfg. both have no hdr. I am guessing its you brightness settings, yours are getting white washed a bit for some reason

the monitor itself has nothing to do with screenshots, all in the engine settings. basically in what it is sending to the monitor

was going to say gamma may be the other culprit

I Think i have messed with every texture you pointed out except the boxes

Edited by: y2keeth

I did mess with that one to, its in there and its better. if there is one to remake a new texture of its that one, probably the ugliest texture in the game lol.

about to update that patch again. with more. Wish the voodoo would send me those character textures I'd add them to.

its a new trick, almost recreating the original source textures detail. plus I have come up with another way to add some more detail back into some of them. its not a one size fits all situation tho, still requires individual tweaking.updated again fyi

I'll look into the webs.

I should say also I can totally make new textures, have a ton I made for a game project someday I will get back to. this holds more interest to me, when I made stuff for alien arena, I got into porting quake 2 models to alien arena and improving the textures. so its like a mission lol.

just figured out the rusty elevators, it the spec map that sucked

I really would, if i could, but they are in the .resources files. Those textures can't be extracted.
The only way to get them is to remove the specific replacement facetextures in the Mod to force the game to load the original ones from the .resources file.
Those textures are located at \base\models\characters\swann\ (for Swann)

But i couldn't find any replacement *.tga in Hi Def 3.0 at this location. I noticed you provided your generated directory in the 7zip, so you might have to remove the generated ones in \base\generated\images\models\characters\swann\

Not sure which one of them containing the face textures.

You can use mine if you want to, i already created them from scratch at 1024x1024 for UltimateHD 2.0

Moddb.com
located within the 7z at \models\mapobjects\webs\ also \models\mapobjects\alphalabs3\vagary\ could be interesting for you.

sorry got totally side tracked lol, trying to open bimages, almost got it lol. I will check those out thanks.

hey your screenshots look much better

those seats make me mad, had them looking great before then something happened. Need to figure out what changed

better is what I am shooting for, perfect will never happen

better is what I am shooting for, not going to going to remake them all by hand. If I was getting paid maybe lol.

should look like leather so detail should not be crazy
