RUP
Retextured and Upscaled Project



First, i do not speak english, so please be patient, i will try explain all better as i can. thx

Whats RUP?
Is a project im working on, retexturing most part of the envrioment as possible with upscaled new textures. DDDA come with 256px to 512px and small portion in 1024px. im covering most part in 2k, and small portion in 4k depending the use of the texture.

What RUP Retexture?
Im covering most part of the envrioment/landscapes, like grass and flowers, ground covers, rocks, mountains, cliffs, trees, plants, etc.
After 1.0 update im working on architectures too.

This is a work in progress and i Know it is not perfect. Atm ive replaced more than 5.000 textures, and 1 texture need 4 files: texture + normalmap + difussemap + setting file, and im doing all alone. so if u see anything doesnt look really good, please tell me and i try update it next time.
btw, some, or better, all textures, are stretched by the meshes, so it causes which all or most part of the textures doesn't look too sharp, still with upscaled textures.

The very low res of the textures doesnt helping too much... so ive skiped these textures which i dont know they are used for, or i never found them.
check a comparison:

As you can see, ive upscaled and covered most part of the textures but it need more improvements, like add dirty and variants to all of them... thats is a hard time consuming work...

Mod Features:
Most part of the envrioment and architectures has been retextured (WIP).
Unique grass, flowers, plants and tree textures.
Retextured Mountains, rocks and cliffs.
Retexured Architectures, structures and rockwalls.
Retextured fornitures and clutters.
Improved sea and rivers.

Recomendation:
Use any ENB mod of you preferense, i recommend rudy's enb a lot, but u can try whatever you like.
Global illumination is too poor and isnt helping much to this mod, so any enb
is required, if u dont use any enb you cant see what ive worked for.
ENB is not mandatory, you dont need any enb to run this mod, i just recommend the use of it.

Requirments:
A CPU Faster than a potato.

Run #Installer.bat
fm folder
Copy All Content in: nativePC\rom\stage\stage100\fm
Run #Installer.bat
Split folder
Here We Go...
Copy All Content in: nativePC\rom\stage\stage100\split\allsubfolders
You need copy all files in all folders/subfolders from split
Ex: nativePC\rom\stage\stage100\split\m40\n30 (where .arc files are located.)
etc, etc, etc...
Run #Installer.bat
This is a long process...
Splitsub folder
Here We Go Again...
Copy All Content in: nativePC\rom\stage\stage100\split_sub\allsubfolders
You need copy all files in all folders/subfolders from split_sub
Ex: nativePC\rom\stage\stage100\split_sub\m40\n30 (where .arc files are located.)

Q&A:
Q. How many % Mod Has Been Retextured/Covered?
A. Idk. Im Working To Cover Most Part Of All Texture Stages (8 Stages In Total.)
Stage 100 if the most hard to been retexured cuz it cover all outside texures (worldmap).

Q. Why Some Places Have New And Old Textures?
A. Maybe I Not Covered That Already.

Q. Why Some Textures Looks Too Dark Some Times?
A. Ugly Game Lighting and poor shader effects... try play with your enb settings, or try another.

Q. This Mod Retexture The Whole Game?
A. No, Just Envrioment ATM.

Q. Why Any Texture Have a "Ghosting" Effect or Have a Pink Texture?
A. Caused By a Bad NormalMap Or Bad Settings Files. Please Report.

Q. Why Some Textures Looks Like Squares?
A. Not My Fault, Low Poly Game Meshes.

Q. Why I Not Upload The Mod Into .Arc Files To Avoid Install Them?
A. I Can Upload Tons Of GB Every Time I Upload An Update. Remember This Is a Work In Progress.

Q. Why I Not Upload All Stages/"Substages" In The Same File?
A. Cuz Its More Easy To Made An New Update Whitout Downloading All Files And Reinstall Them Each Time.

Notes:
More Updates Coming Soon... Hope You Enjoy It, im putting a lot of effort and TIME!
