[256x]Bumped

[RealBadAngel]

256px tp that uses upscaled and bumped default textures.
Please turn on shaders and bumpmapping in config:

enable_shaders = true
enable_bumpmapping = true

Also enabling filtering is highly recommended.

Enjoy!

Thank you for posting this it is amazing.

Wow that looks great!

This looks indeed better than the Haven texture pack, which doesnt fit the style of the game at all.

i think it would be better if the normalmaps would have the same resolution as the actual textures and if bumpmaps would be used where sufficient (using normalmaps does not really make sense for just elevating some surface)

Ofc the textures are same sized as their normalmaps.
It doesnt work any other way.
I just said i had to upscale textures to make it look nice.
All the lighting, shadows and geometry transformations require high res textures to get smooth transitions and good look.
For anything lower than 128x using bumpmapping or oclussion doesnt make any sense. Higher the texture resolution effect is better.
Thats why i decided to make HavenNG and Bumped in 256x.

And yes, using bumpmaps to elevate surfaces makes sense. Its all about it, makin flat things look 3d.

This looks like something that could become a community project, as all modders would have to do is upscale their textures to 256px and create normal maps for them. There are many different mods with many different textures, so if those mods are to have such versions of their textures, the creators of those mods will need to get involved.

Great work as always! I hope you can get the bump maps to work at original resolution too (16x), so maybe this can become default.

[RealBadAngel]

It appears that i were wrong, and normalmaps doesnt have to be same size as the texture.
It is possible to use 16x textures and 256x (or any other resolution) normal maps.
They are kinda scaled in shader's samplers.
So, this texture pack can contain only normal maps and will use unmodified 16x default textures.

Is there a way that this can be tested?

Yeah, normally they don't need to be the same resolution (diffuse texture and normal texture). Still, even just scaled normal maps would likely not be accepted by default. Is there no way to get the 16x norm-maps looking good too?

Just delete from texture pack's folder anything that doesnt end with _normal.png

It works, RealBadAngel. This method is very efficient.

How are the normal maps generated for the textures?

Use gimp and normal map plugin (windows/linux) or Crazybump for windows.

[Inocudom]

I got the normal map plugin for Gimp, but I can't seem to get normal maps to turn out like yours do.

In this texture pack, ladders and papyrus appear to be invisible and the shading of the ice is a little too dark (should probably be like what diamond blocks have.)

The download link is broken, does anyone have a copy of this texture pack?

[VanessaE]

It's obsolete now. To be replaced with an in-engine feature that generates bumpmaps on-the-fly, if that feature ever makes it in that is.
