Is there any way we could get the loose files for some of the textures? I'm interested in modifying some of them.
Hm I dont think so, there are no textures, but materials. So if you want to modify a textures, u need to recreate a normal maps, height maps and possibly other specific maps to do so, and than bake it back in the material and that to the DFMOD. What textures you dont enjoy specifically? Are you able to do the abovementioned process?

If you provide some bad ass texture, I might consider updating the DREAM with it and create the rest of the supporting maps and materials from it etc

we can discuss, but u need to be more specific

I did create a hotkey to toggle the effects, which made the differences more obvious. I set it to Insert for the menu and Delete for the toggle, since I use Home and End for editing textboxes. (I use Delete too, so that hotkey may change, but it works for now).
Yea so thats completely different PC than mine, I have nvidia card and windows 10, thanks for info tho

I think I meant to say sprites, not textures. I want to work on the shrines and statues mainly. I don't really like the drab green look of them.

Is there any way I can extract the sprites from the DFmod?

I think keeping the original hair, and transplating the face is the best... I also make the opacity of the face around 60%, so it gains some of the original shape and colors. Than I add some shading, colors, smudge...

Still working on the 2020/R3 release.
It will be mostly a paperdoll finetuning, that system is huge. But now it should be really smooth and without any major bugs, with a lot of polish.

But I squeezed in other things as well, like some polish of the HUD, Sprites, Commoners, NPC/Portraits..

I added some XML files to paperdoll, the number of files went towards 16200 and Unity started to crash all the time I tried to build a DFMOD from it. My gut feeling was its a memory issue, so I increased the paging file from 4gb to 8gb and it solved it :geek: So I guess to build it you need 16gb RAM and 8GB paging file...

Anyway, here is the 2020/R3 changelog for now, for those who might be interested, but its still a WIP and other things will be added:

Something reminded me of this guy... I went on to find him on the internet, than I upscaled him and corrected the issues a bit, so I can watch him nostalgically in glorious HD :geek:

Those were the days man... now I know why its so nostalgic, 1994 Score had him on a cover.. This is one of the worse mistakes I did, that I got rid of my collection of these magazines.
