Now that Patch 1 dropped I see that a lot of .DDS files that are found in this mod have been changed with the patch. Does that mean this mod is now obsolete?
Almost 90% of textures in the mod have indeed become obsolete. The remaining five textures have been uploaded in a new version (with corresponding photos).
Thank you, appreciate it. Indeed, fairly time consuming and tedious to do it properly. I wouldn't expect the developers to have time for this with their tight deadlines.
They said trying to fix seams in one place will introduce seams in other places because textures not always aligned 1:1 or sometimes even rotated or inverted, so they fixed only most obvious and broken ones and left original texture mapping. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So I guess unless someone have too much time on their hands and attention to details to figure out every single texture without changing the level itself, this is what we have - manual fixes here and there with mods.
Nope, on contrary. Textures in this pack actually remove seams in more locations than shown in the pictures, and, to the best of my knowledge, don't break the existing seamless. I opted for light edits that rely on patterns used in related textures to ensure maximum compatibility. Also, a lot of time is spent surveying the results with photo mode to make sure that everything blends properly without making issues elsewhere.
As noted in the description, I had to give up on upgrading a few visible texture seams as fixing them in one palce would make seams elsewhere.
