FFXI - HD Overhaul

Please read the Jeuno Auction House rules before placing your bid. Failure to comply with the rules may result in a loss of GIL.

Does anyone have upto date altanaviewer lists? with all current equip items?

Also which do you think looks best of these?

First is normal one, 2nd is the one I spent the most time on and 3rd is a basic clean upscale. I'm a bit worried the rock texturing is ott.

Beautiful cloudy weather FX is now complete! It all moves in separate alpha layers, too. Tons of other stuff is done now (not visible in this photo), such as stone relief artwork, Auction House, and outdoor vendors.

For my taste it is too shiny and looks like a bad/cheap Unity game. Rather add some contrast and colour and be done with it. For everyone their own. Love the mods in here <3.

Currently working on avatars.

this might be intersting for the HD modder out ther

Its a new upscale filter that should be really nice for project likes this.

hope it can be usefull

Has anyone worked on Gungnir touch up yet?

It begins. After several days of cutting out stones one-by-one, I finally have dozens upon dozens to choose from (at ultra resolution). I'll use these to rebuild the cobblestone circle floor in Jeuno BRICK. BY. BRICK.

I think Amelila already had an article written about them and their zone mods, I doubt anyone else making them here will get much attention.

The problem with a serious attempt at a HD overhaul for ffxi is that it's really clunky to replace files and the majority don't want to do it (or are fearful of it). The stuff I and others in this thread posted involve huge numbers of file swaps (as an example, updating one single armor set demands 40 file swaps, one weapon is between 8 and 16 swaps). Unless windower can implement some kind of system where you can have an alternate folder for mods it's never really going to be a popular thing. I upload some of my mods mainly with the hope that it will possibly show what is possible for windower devs in the future, if it happens you will see a big increase in the amount of HD mods and it will turn into a serious attempt.
