A high resolution texture package replacing pretty much every texture from the game (sans those from 3D models) was finally properly released yesterday. Sure there was this beta from 2009 but this one's infinitely better.





Of course, the 3D models are still outdated (yet people should remember they were already outdated in 2000 when the game came out) but I believe using just this mod will make playing DX more tolerable in 2011.

The new renderers of course will help. And in fact they're needed for DX:NV and they're shipped in the package (DX10 and OpenGL).

There's also ENBSeries DirectX 9 Renderer as utilized in those screenshots but it kind of requires tweaking to make it look really spanktastic, otherwise it just looks like this.

It also won't hurt to use the HDTP Release 1 from 2006 simultaneously, even though it really only affects objects in the world (and Gunther Hermann). This requires some .INI tweaking!

Also, Zell was right.

Oh wow, it doesn't even look like JK anymore.

What was I right about?

was going to replay DX1 soon, probably after I beat human revolution, so maybe I'll give this a whirl

Why is the entire world carved from sandstone?

Vents in bathrooms! People kept complaining but since it was also featured in a Deus Ex map remake mod, it's now officially proper and totally not weird at all.



Yeah, those screenies I posted on this thread are probably the only examples where it looks vaguely good. Methinks.
