This mod aims to replace or improve textures in game with new high resolution work while retaining the original feeling and color palette of the game. Characters in game will be given much higher variety of uniforms, equipment and decals which will allow for much deeper experience for those who want to revisit the game or play it for the first time after long time. The textures are redone using original ones as base whenever possible (most are still nice and have at least basic realism) to retain original design, but all textures are upscaled to twice (or more) of original resolution, sharpened, and have decals either redrawn, or replaced with as much reverence to realism as possible. In effect the skins are extra realistic, but also don't look out of place - everything is done as to not ruin the original scene background and color palette that has been developed specially for SPR and MoHAA.
In discussions about stylish WWII-era attire it's usually said with certainty that it was german uniforms that took the crown of most "cool" aesthetic. What is usually forgotten however, is the item that was so "cool" in it's looks and so practical in everyday use that after the war it took the male fashion by storm and remained as it's staple to this day almost unchanged. It is, of course, the Type A-2 leather flight jacket.
What later got famous as clothing of big screen bad boys started it's life as a summer jacket for pilots, gunners, bombardiers, and other flight crews. Made of brown hide of a horse, goat or a cow; it had short cut and four big pockets on the front. The pilot we rescue in mission 4 of course wears this iconic jacket, and is now given proper texture to make it represent the original closer. It will also be of course available for use as multiplayer skin.
So here's pictures just to remind you I'm not dead, and while the mod work is somewhat crawling for now, it's never stopping, and the new content is slowly being brought in. So far I also fixed the various oversights and errors you guys caught before, I'll try to show the progress on screens in next week. Hope you like it and see you soon!
Oh yeah. This texture makes the skin look alot better. Are you going to change the pants and inner shirt too?
Thank you! With shirt I will be trying although it's hard to adjust it to fit the new texture; as for the pants the vanilla texture is pretty okay comparing it to real-life look: Cdn.shopify.com
so I just improved the resolution, readjusted the colors and improved the shoes texture
