[GTA IV | TLAD | TBOGT] Higher Resolution Miscellaneous Pack

[Ash_735]

IV Higher Resolution Miscellaneous Pack

Higher resolution textures for a variety of things often forgot about in other packs

 

 

So What Is It?

This mod started out as something small and grew in size over the past few months, originally I wanted to improve weapon spec, which lead on to fixing other spec, and then normals, etc, before I decide to take a look at things like cutscene props, in-game props, minigames, etc. I noticed that a lot of "HD" map mods out there do not edit or change these so I thought it would be a good investment to go through these and bring the quality and variety up to scratch so not only can it be used with the original game to get a fidelity boost but to also compliment other HD Map projects out there.

 

In this pack you'll find that I have included texture upgrades for cutscene props (IV/TLAD/TBOGT), minigames (inc. bowling, pool, etc), procedural items (rubbish), pedestrian props (books, cans, newspapers, etc), generic props (too much to cover) and interiors (main focus being TBOGT here) bringing them up to a higher standard most people expect today, or at least remember how the game used to look

 

So What's Included?

This ZIP file contains a folder for you to extract to your "update" folder, this folder includes multiple IMG files for IV, TLAD and TBOGT all split up into specific categories so you can omit specific things you do not wish to include (such as Weapon Spec if you have other weapon mods installed). Simply drag and drop to install this and that's all!

Support

All my mods will always be FREE, you won't find anything paywalled here and if you do see my work in mods packs that ARE being used for profit then let me know ASAP. However I hate to do this but since I am in the UK where energy bills and other bills are insane at the moment so it means less money to spend on lesser important things, BUT if you'd like to say thanks by buying me an energy drink then I do now have a Ko-Fi and CashApp (£AshR735) available. Or damn if you want to send me a game if you have any spare the feel free.

Really revitalizing to see mods like these! I am curious about the bottle texture. Did you find a higher resolution version of it elsewhere?

Very cool to see miscellaneous textures like this get some proper work done to them!

I found most of them in GTA IV itself, it appears when Rockstar did update textures they did not apply them to everything, and the cutscene props was one of the areas that missed out on things, so it was just the case of finding the matching textures from interiors and props and shifting the textures over to cutscene props for that one. Only a small chunk are from Max Payne 3 and GTAV this time, more had to be recreated (such as pedestrian props) and some do us upscales but with proper correction and fixes.

Looks nice, I hope that the dds are not bigger than 1024/1024, later I will download it.

Really nice texture mod and easy robust with FusionFix

[beerisvictory]

It’s really so good. The whole world looks way sharper just with your mod. The blurry streets and building are not recognizable that much anymore. Wow.

 

anyways I would love to see an updated pool texture. Are you planning on adding or is there any good mod available?

IV Higher Resolution Miscellaneous Pack v1.1

 

 

So What's Changed?

This update falls in line with the 15th Anniversary of The Lost & Damned, even though ironically not much has changed in that! The 1.1 update contains more files with updated textures, including areas such as Traffic Lights, Lamp Posts, Interior Props, Snack Vending Machines, Pool Tables and much more. The Ballad of Gay Tony also receives two additional interiors that now have higher resolution textures, they are Bahama Mamas and the Chinatown Arcade/Office site.

Just a heads up, If you plan on installing the 1.1 version. Make sure that you don't have any leftover seperated 1.0 version img packs. They are now in one big img pack now for each folder.

Ahh yes I forgot to mention that here, between the time I put out the first version and this version we found out that GTA IV has an IMG limit, so my previous way of packing into split IMGs to allow granular choice meant that it was bumping up the IMG number and taking away slots from other mods. As of 1.1 the entire thing is now just 4 IMGs (1xIV, 1xTLAD, 1xTBOGT & 1xWeapons), I've kept the weapons split because most players will most likely want to check out weapon mods at some point so now to remove the weapon changes it's just that IMG you can delete.

 

So if you are using a previous version of the mod via Fusion Fix Overloader, then it's recommended to delete the old version completely (or just delete all the files inside "Ash_HiRes_Misc") and then install the new version.

I noticed that the Desert Eagle file used in TBOGT is named [w_e2_eagle].
Is this file different from the Desert Eagle in [IV]? Does it also need to improve the texture quality?

Yes, I've noticed the same later on, all TBOGT weapons will be included in the next update but for now you can just use the same textures as the IV one as they're identical.
