METAL GEAR SOLID 3D HD Edition Texture PackBy jimlafleurV 1.0 - Virtuous MissionInformation:This is a HD texture pack for the 3DS version of Metal Gear Solid 3. This project will be released incrementally, as retexturing the entire game is a vast undertaking for one person and will take time. This pack is designed for compatibility with Citra 3DS Emulator. There are currently no plans for PS2/PS3 version. This pack was optimized with 4k resolutions in mind; however, they should still scale well with lower screen resolutions. Keep in mind that the increased texture size may affect preference on lower-end PC hardware.
Goal:
-Give MGS3D a more realistic feel.
Requirements:
-Latest Citra 3DS Emulator
Version 1.0 focuses primarily on the environmental textures seen in the Virtuous Mission section of the game, with a few texture updates to the fauna in those areas as well.
1.0 Areas:
- Dremuchij South
- Dremuchij Swampland
- Dremuchij North
- Dolinovodno
- Rassvet
The next release is planned to fucus around the Cave areas.
Characters:
No characters are included in 1.0. Character skins are not yet finished. Eventually, all characters will get a reskin.
UI:
It is still undecided whether or not this project will include upscaled fonts or UI elements. If someone wants to work on the UI and merge it with this project, that would be great.
Draw Distance:
I’m also looking for help with increasing the draw distance of the grass/plants. If someone has any insight on how to achieve this please contact me.
Weapons/Items:
While not yet included, many of the weapons have been reskined with high resolution textures pulled from Millenia’s Counterstrike mods. In the event that Millenia gives permissions to use release these textures, they will be included in future updates.
Installation:
-Extract the .zip file in your Citra custom load directory;
Usually:
C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Citra\load\textures
-Open Citra, go to the Emulation tab and click "Configure".
-You should see a Graphics tab, click on it and in the bottom of the screen activate the "Use Custom Textures" and "Preload Custom Textures" checkboxes. Click OK to save changes.
-After that the mod should work and you can run the game normally.
