[REL] Better colors for Project Oblivion2010

[vurt]

 

Please notice, this is NOT the complete mod Project Oblivion 2010HQ, you have to find the mod from some other source. This is just a texture overhaul for that mod! Oblivion Project 2010HQ needs to be installed first!

 

Features:

 

* Improved textures for Project Oblivion 2010 to better fit the GTA:SA environment.

* A few new textures, such as bushes and desert plants (not found in Project Oblivion)

* Replaced the hi-poly tall palm trees with a more performance friendly version that doesnt glow in the dark.

 

Why did i create this mod?

 

I find the original textures in Project Oblivion 2010 much too bright, and overall not very natural looking in the GTA enviroment. At night time many of the textures looked like they were glowing, these textures fixes that. There were also some really bad textures that i thought needed replacement in this otherwise great mod. Almost every texture is either edited or replaced, the replaced textures are my own (some are from my Morrowind mods).

 

 

One problem with Project Oblivion is that many of the meshes has an rediculous amount of polygons, not really suited for games at all. I've replaced the tall palm trees with retextured default palms. I did not like how they looked in Project Oblivion, the palm leaves would glow in the dark and the extreme polycount can really drag down the performance.

or http://www.2shared.com/file/5jXMbBmW/Vurts...for_PO2010.html

 

Installation:

 

Install order: SRT3 1.7 (recommended) - Oblivion Project 2010HQ - Better Colors.

 

To place my textures into the game you need to add the files from the gta3.img-folder to your gta3.img file. To do this you can use ImgPro ( http://www.filefront.com/10339276/IMG-Tool/ ). Inside the program you use the Command "Replace" for all my files in the gta3.img folder. You should NOT use Add. After that you might need to rebuild the archive (also under "Commands"). The other folders needs to be copied to your GTA:SA folder (do not copy the GTA3.img-folder), make sure you get the folder structure right when you paste the folders.

Dude, you get permission from author to edit his/her/their mod?

Dude, you get permission from author to edit his/her/their mod?

You do realize that everything in Project Oblivion is stolen from other people or from Oblivion to begin with? He has even stolen a texture from one of my early Morrowind mods, lol. Do you think he got permission from Bethesda to use their textures? Its great what they've accomplished, but they're no model or texture artists and the credit for those textures does not belong to the mod makers of PO2010. I really doubt they've made the trees either, no one who knows anything about modelling would make them that hi-poly for a game.

Yeah, but at least you didn't do nothing related to this mod. Taken or non-taken from other games by stealing, is his problem, but stealing from other persons where they did everything and you not.. you are just dust to us and nothing more.

If you can open a topic with this mod, the same, I have the privilege to open a same topic with the same mod because I have the same "freedom as you, of putting this things by my your own hand" because what you think is normal to happend or be. From this point, how many topic can be opened by every user from here before is getting locked - 100-500 or maybe 1000 topics related to the same mod ?!

 

Now is clear for you to understand the situation ?! Already a topic got locked. You just wasted your time opening such topic.

Well, you were distrubuting the whole mod or linking to it in the wrong section, that was your problem from what i can see.. I'm not. I'm just sharing my own textures + edited textures from Oblivion and a few other sources - i'm not sharing anything that belongs to the mod authors of Project Oblivion.

 

To use my mod you need to install Project Oblivion 2010 which you have to download from another source.

 

Texture overhauls for other people's mods is usually not something you need permission to do. I've been very active in the modding community for many different games, and that's usually how it works. I don't see why this community would be different. Distributing other people's complete mods, sharing maps and other stuff that they've created, that's a whole different matter and would ofcourse require a permission.

All I want to say is... That looks much better than original! Good work.

[Meedo]

Well I have tried them with SRT3

 

But I'm not getting any colors in my trees,plants,palms etc ...

 

I got some screen shots to show you what is the problem :

 

 

Please I need your help man , I want to try this mod please :$ :$

[vurt]

It looks like you havent installed Project Oblivion 2010HQ, because you have the default trees. If you have installed it you did something wrong, read the instructions that comes with that mod.

 

The install order is:

 

SRT3 1.7 - Oblivion Project 2010HQ - Better Colors

 

This mod is made specifically for Oblivion Project 2010HQ, like the title of the mod says.

 

 

[Meedo]

Really I installed the mod with srt3 by img manager as they written in the readme file !!

 

But I don't know why that problem is coming only in my game

 

 

[vurt]

It's difficult to say which step has gotten wrong. Install SRT3 first, make sure it works by starting the game. Install Project Oblivion 2010HQ and makes sure it works, then last install my mod. In which step does it go wrong?

 

[BLlTZ]

I'm not sure (cuz I didn't play GTA from a good time) but I think 79% it has to do with gta_proc_bush.txd & newtreeleaves128 (first pictures)

Or if still ... gta_proc_bush.txd & new_bushsm.dff

 

I had the same problems ones when I installed SRT3 + PO 2007HQ for the first time.

[Meedo]

Well thanks for trying to help vurt !!

 

I cant remember where the problem was !!

 

But it's working very good now , cause I Installed a new game without SRT3

 

 

Btw. I'm getting around 75 fps without enb series

[The FireStarteR]

Damn. After installing SRT3, PO2010, this mod and ENB with disabled occlusions, DOF and bump, SA goes like a slideshow when I look on the trees. Also even Stream Memory Fix can't save me from LODs nearby. I can't believe my GF 9600GT with 512 MB VRAM as old as mammoth's sh*t.

[BLlTZ]

PO 2010 has to many objects to such old game. Doesn't matter how low the textures are if the objects are in tens only in one place like mushrooms.

 

If you remember clear, the default game with no mods, most of the tress around 6-7 in one place around the countryside is still making the game to lagg on medium/high to very high GFX or what the name was of that option in advance options.

[vurt]

The biggest problem with PO is the hi poly count of the trees. As an example a tree in PO can be 1MB+ big(!) this compared to the original trees which can be 10-15 kb.. The difference in polycount is just extreme, games like Crysis etc doesnt use trees with that many polygons, not even half of what's in PO. I have many tree models myself (i've done hundreds over the last year) that i've created for other mods that i've done for Morrowind. They are low-poly but often looks just as good as the trees in PO. I'd love to convert them but it seems to to be such a hassle + i'm used to working in Blender where i cant import/export the .dff format.

 

It would also make a big difference to reduce the polys that the grass meshes use, since there's a lof of grass in some places.

 

 

Anyone any good at converting? If so i can send you my tree models (3ds or .obj format) and we can make this mod more performance friendly..

 

some examples of trees i've done that are very low poly (at least compared to PO):

Hey vurt, check your inbox please

[Pawelo]

Can you do sometging to PO2010 don't lag on my PC? or can you only extract for me palms to replacze with old? because from PO2010 i like all but for me i would have new palms than trees can you?

[atfburner]

your mod at gtagarage has been removed

 

Ive done similar editing of PO back in 2008 for personal use, SA certainly looks better with low poly stuff.

yeah, they dont allow external links for some reason (i guess they think, for some strange reason, that its a good idea to put all the strain on their own server ). Its a big mod so it requires some FTP account, it didnt really seemed worth the trouble, the other links still works.

A way to make PO more performance friendly would be to change the models into something much more polygon friendly. Unfortunately i only work in Blender and getting the models into the game from there just isnt possible.

 

Replacing the palms trees is an especially bad idea since those are very hi-poly (1MB+ big files which is just insane, a very nice looking palm tree can be made under 200kb). The palm trees in PO2010 are bad in other ways too, i really disliked how they glowed in the dark, looks really terrible. It was the only tree where i prefered the original trees instead.

Vurt, i have small problem with your mod.

I see on your pictures completely diffrent palms than mine after installing this mod

 

your pic:

 

mine:

 

I have installed only SRT 1.7, PO2010 and your mod. Have you got any solution for this ? Your palms is awesome, mine - tooo greeeen.

Hope you'll help

[vurt]

hmm, the texture itself is in gta_tree_palm.txd (just checked). Did you install in the recommended order? You could try installing my mod again i guess.

 

[amEx-pl]

I installed it 100 times, and everytime is identical Check Meedo post, after install he has got the same palms as me. Maybe you forget to add some file ? I don't know, but something is wrong..

 

EDIT:

I extracted gta_tree_palm.txd from my gta3.img and opened with TxdWorkshop, and..... texture was good ! So, why the game uses old PO2010 texture ??

I also saw, that the highest palms are looking good ! But smaller (like on my picture, not) http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/1237/palm2.jpg

Edited January 17, 2011 by amEx-pl

[vurt]

yes, not all palms are the old palms (with my textures), some are from Project Oblivion 2010.. if you just want all palms to be the old ones you can probably extract all files named *palm.dff from your unedited (you did make a backup, right?) gta3.img..

[TheDarkySide]

Thank you very much for reupload the file.

Of course, this excellent, now is not so green vegetation.

It is now more realistic.

Certainly this excellent.

Before vegetation could be seen at night and it was not realistic.
