Official site | YouTube | Mod DB | Twitter | Steam Community

Features

Remade textures

• Replacement textures of the whole game world (buildings, objects, roads, landscapes etc.) to high quality analogues;
• Replacement textures of all interiors to high quality analogues;
• Replacement textures of all vehicles to high quality analogues;
• Redrawn textures with logos and billboards;
• Textures in HRT 1.4 are made in perfect quality and high resolution (2048x2048 and 1024x1024 pixels), and are maximum similar to original ones (the first texture and graphics mod for GTA SA with this feature);
• Textures are exclusive, made by author and based on his photos, or taken (not stolen) from free libraries.

Improved models

• A lot of models also are improved and enhanced: some models are more detailed and smoothed, on some models are added reflections;
• Corrected defects of original models (the first texture and graphics mod for GTA SA with this feature);
• Using more materials than in the original game: for example, if the original house model uses the same texture and for the roof, and for the wall, in HRT 1.4 and the wall, and the roof have unique textures; mod has more variety textures for ground, pavement, grass and roofs than the original game (the first texture and graphics mod for GTA SA with this feature);
• Improved main character model with better fingers (taken from mobile version of the game that was released in 2013).

Other features

• LODs are replacing too, for more quality displaying objects on the far distance;
• Using of MIP maps (this optimization reduces the load on the graphics card and helped to get rid from blinking of textures);
• Using of the newest Magic.TXD tool for textures editing with support of DXT5 compression and high quality MIP mapping algorithm (see also report);
• High stability of the mod;
• Completely author's mod, fully an independent project, not collection (mod-pack) of other mods;
• HRT 1.4 is a spiritual successor of HRT Pack 1.3 (2010), but new mod is not based on any previous parts and does not share any their files; this is completely brand new mod that is made from scratch;
• Includes high quality radar, radar and weapons icons (third-party mods that used under permission).

The first post in this thread (Jun 18 2012). Hello to all. I resolved open this topic to show you my mod, HRT 1.4. But first, I want to apologize for bad English (maybe even someone be funny to read my posts ), I am from Ukraine. In Russian GTA-community I use nickname Flame. Now back to mod. Perhaps somebody already have seen old versions of this mod. Earlier it was named HRT Pack, and last version from "old generation" HRT Pack 1.3: Enhanced Edition. Newest and final version be named just HRT 1.4. The purpose of the mod replace old textures to new textures in high quality and high definition. Texture should be as similar to the standard for color and other parameters, but to be much higher quality. I plan replace textures of all San Andreas state. Another important thing is 99.9% of the textures were made by me from my photos. | [screenshots of] first section of Los Santos, LAn: (...) [Edited: because of 10pix image was closed, screenshots from first reports were uploaded to the this gallery; see first 19 pictures]. P.S. Screenshots made without using ENBSeries and other mods, only new textures. If anyone is interested, I will continue to write reports on the work and post here other screens.

Looks nice. I wish the best of luck for you.

[Ivars]

Looks too cartoonish.

 

[-DP-]

Это смотрится очень хорошо.

It looks very good.

 

(Yes I'm also russian but I live in Austria )

[gtasadude]

Looks awesome! It's nice that they really are just high resolution textures as well, rather than complete redesigns of the originals. This makes these textures better than SRT in my opinion.

[indraCG]

nice mod...but not better than srt

 

so many people trying to make retextured mods...it make me confused..

[Flame]

Thanks for comments, guys!

Now, I post some screenshots of other sections of Los Santos. This is not the new footage, but we will come to absolutely new screens.

I also replace LOD-textures and re-write signs (not all, but most of them). And don't forget - on pictures you see only new textures; on final stages of development the game will look much better.

Do you complete rextexturing San Andreas like SRT Mod by Blitz? Your pack is good alternative to SRT. What's new in this version in HRT Pack 1.4?

[gtasadude]

Version 1.4 (now just HRT 1.4, not HRT Pack 1.4) is created completely anew (but maybe later I use some textures from old versions). In version 1.3 I reworked Las Venturas, San Fierro and Los Santos; in this version I will remake textures of all San Andreas.

[GamerShotgun]

This is just awesome! Good luck with it. I hope you'll finish it.

[vans123]

[69_black_69]

Nice job, but looks too clean.

Add some dirt and stuff.

[Death2Drugs]

This.

 

I hope you re-make it.

[Flame]

69_black_69, I don't planning change the game map, at least for now.

vans123, thanks, I am remade this texture.

 

LAe. Part 2

[screenshots were deleted because of old hosting was dead, see link to the gallery with new screenshots in first post.]


I remind: most of the textures (ground, grass etc) been made ​​from my photos. So, this mod - fully handmade.

very good!

looks better than SRT

[d3jan]

what he means to add dirt(нечистоты) on the textures not objects

i hope i got the translation right

[69_black_69]

^, yeah what he said.

It just look plain and boring.

 

@ludi

Yes, this mod deliver a better similarity from the original one than SRT.

But in term of quality, i still prefer SRT.

 

But that just in my opinion, so don't get your butt hurt, people.

Yes, your translation is correct. Hmm... I thought that if the original texture little "dirty", my new texture similar to it, so, "dirty" too.

 

But I'll see what can be done. In the end of development, I'm want to see again all sections of the location and see what I can do better.

 

About the comparisons with SRT. I don't want to add fuel to the fire, SRT mod is very quality, but most of textures in SRT have resolution 512x512. At the same time, most textures in HRT 1.4 made in really high resolution - 1024x1024 and 2048x2048 pixels. Just for information.

What are tree and grass? You mean Project Oblivion 2007, which used in HRT Pack 1.3? You can download it, for example, from this site.

So far, I'm not was thinking much about variants of publishing mod. Maybe I will release mod in two versions: with manual installation and with auto installation (with full gta3.img file), maybe version with auto-install will contain only the new files. We'll see.

 

New textures for Sherman Dam in Bone Country

Dam was released as separate mini-mod.

 

Now, we back to Los Santos.

Remind you, the old textures are usually in the resolution of 128x128, 256x256 pixels. New textures from HRT 1.4 are made in really HD-quality: 1024x1024 and 2048x2048 pixels.

Damn, this looks great

[t0grul]

Wow, impressive work, Flame. I always wanted a retexture mod like that. This is true SA style. Hope you can finish this

Here's bunch of good luck for you

[King Shady]

You need to edit the lines from the Street and Basketballfield texture , but the the textures are great .

Maybe you can add a bit more dirt and crashes on the street .
