DALLs – Mount & Blade HD Update
v1.1
10/05/2009
Mount & Blade HD (High Definition) is complete overhaul of the game visuals. Almost all texture files have been optimized and improved to work better with models used. Due to way game textures were made and employed files had to be made considerably larger thus some older machines and video cards might have problem with this new upsized textures. This is very unfortunate as these new textures really make game look so much better.
What has been changed and improved? Almost everything! That was not my original intention but as one thing led to another it has happened. ;) I was unhappy with game looks and initially I wanted only to check and correct obvious texture problems for my own use but to my surprise problem were not so much textures used but models and UV mapping. To cut long story short I have preserved in my overhaul the most of original artwork intact as it is outstandingly good and just have made optimization tweaks to it to work better with in game models. Consequently overall feel of game you know won’t be different / changed much except that everything will be now in glorious HD.
Some things have been changed considerably as I did not like them or because they were unsalvageable for my purposes. Try it and see for yourself if these changes work for you as much as they do for me.
Beside texture files I have included one CommonRes/materials file which corrects use of map-river texture. In game map is now much more enjoyable place to be / use as all terrains, trees, architecture and animated icons now have new improved HD finish.
Installation:
Extract or copy/paste all files included into your MountnBlade game folder. When you are asked to overwrite files under CommonRes and Textures, select 'yes to all'.
I would recommend you to make backup copy of your existing Texture folder if you want to revert to it for whatever reason. Pick and mix of texture files is not recommended as MnB texture canvases carry multi textures so it is very unlikely that you can achieve mix you might want. Another thing to keep eye on is what you are installing as last game texture installed overwrites any previous one. Brand new textures are not problem but standard game ones I am replacing are.
As standard game gamma settings are horrible and unreachable I would recommend you to try Vorontsov Boris HDR as it gives you ability to change level of in game light. This little app works in game fine but do expect benign error when shutting / exiting game. It works treat for me as I hate overly dark game atmospherics.
Note on Dalls_MnB_HD_Updv1.1: Update only! You need Dalls_MountnBlade_HD part one and two as well. Install last!
