Requesting west and east normal dat with just fog/smoke removed. Adoulin is the one zone I can't have hd mods on for some reason.
Male swimsuit, might remove that hand bangle thing. Looks weird.

Are you on a laptop or something? Animated alpha textures (semi transparent stuff like smoke and water) can cause lag but it's hard for me to test stuff cause I don't have lag problems from it myself.
Could also be the water fountains, do you lag in places like windy woods and bastok markets around the fountains?
No just these zones. Desktop i5 1080.

I really love Amelilas mods but I and others I know don't use them anymore, mainly because they seriously increase load times. I'm on an SSD now and the newer ones still increase load times 4-5 times.
Their mods keep getting bigger and bigger in terms of megabyte size and it's starting to become a serious issue I think, where more and more people will start opting out of using them. The normal gust mod was like 10 meg? And the new one is like...50 meg++? Even on the loading screen I think my game had crashed for a while because it was taking 3-4 seconds to load it.
It's like having an old car and someone makes it look like a ferrari but it now drives much slower than before. I think the balance is starting to shift a little too far on the side of quality and hurting how the game runs.
I try to increase the size of my mods the minimum I can and still make them look decent, others seem to think the bigger the file size the better and I don't really agree with that mindset personally.
Not hating, just think optimization is important too.

I'll make you a normal west adoulin dat with all alpha textures removed, to test if that actually is causing the problem.
I won't post it here, I'll pm you a link later.
Male swimsuit reskin "ta moko and swimming trunks", mod shown is the main one. Alternative with no tattoo or old style tattoo also in zip in alternate folder.

I decided to have go at re-texturing Nirvana, just wanna get some feedback on what you all think of it, since it's my first time trying something like this.
I made a request yesterday to Wasenshi to maybe finish it from his list a while back, but just decided to see what I could do myself, always enjoyed messing about with hex editing since I was an 8 year old with an equalizer cheat cartrdige for the psx, and I have a basic knowledge of photoshop/G.I.M.P etc.
Re-texture
Original
I'll upload it once I do the rest of it's models sometime tommorow.

For anyone interested, I've updated all the other swimsuits and am now updating all the other cosmetics for all races and sexes.
I'll post a big zip when I'm done instead of posting one or two here and there.

You should make a custom Galka version where there's some chest hair.
Such a mod would drive me nuts <3
lol...
But still, kudos for all the marvelous work you've been doing so far!

I need to do the same thing in Mhaura with the chimney stacks. I've not yet tried editing zones, but I was going to give it a go. I think I can figure out most of the steps from existing guides, but could you give a quick brief on the steps to remove the smoke?

There are semi transparent textures for things like light glow on lamps, smoke and some water effects for fountains etc. Stuff like this is normally fine and should cause zero lag because it's a simple effect but because the game is so old the effect doesn't work well with some modern drivers and causes lag issues (basically the driver devs forget to add it to some driver releases cause so few games use it). Usually to fix this you just change drivers or wait for the driver to be updated to give support for old semi transparent effects.
Basically you just have to find the smoke texture (this can be annoying cause there are also similar textures for clouds and water effects, so you have to find the correct ones via carefully looking at it or trial and error). When you find them (cause it can be upto 3-4, for example adoulin smoke is 4 semi transparent textures), load them into gimp or PS and make them 100% transparent, save them back into the dat and when the game loads them in they will be 100% transparent.
Make sure you backup all the files you edit, it's really easy to wreck a dat.

Not sure what full retexture I will do in the future as those take a lot of time

I didn't send a pm, just posted in this forum then removed it after I did my re-texture.
Thought i'd take it down to save you making it after i'd done it.
It was a spur of the moment thing to have a go myself, like 5 mins after I posted that lol.
I'll definitely re-vist my version when I get more familiar with doing this, just posted this as my first to see if I could get any feedback whether i've done anything wrong, or get some pointers.
Here's a closer look at mine
I went a bit darker in the crevices to try and emulate more depth,and was thinking about a more grainy approach like yours, but just kept it simpler for now till I do more.
I'm sure i'll get better and look back at my first one and update it, but I honestly am unsure if it's good, bad, or average at the moment because anything looks better than the original.

Kruel I tried out your Nirvana DAT and it is fantastic. Thank you for doing it!

East Adoulin HD dat with chimney smoke removed.

So not only does Eastern Adoulin look better now, but I never drop below 30 FPS while there now too (4k TV + Triple boxing). It's still a struggle to maintain 60fps while in Adoulin, but @ least i dont drop below 30 anymore while in Eastern
So whatever dafuq you did to this zone, you need to do the same to Western Adoulin and Mhaura please :X
With the smoke from chimneys gone its like night and day now.
Thanks!
Was just waiting on any feedback to decide whether I want to maybe do more in the future.
But woulda been no point if I was doing bad work.

This is the one I did for Staleyx, it has the smoke and water effects from the fountain removed to try resolve fps issues. There are no mods done to the zone apart form this so it's not a hd mod.

Female swimsuit.
I bet he’s trying to figure out the floor for lower jeuno main spot the clips all cut off or stop right before that floor pattern.
Very strange circle pattern, the way se like copies and mimics it it's hard to find a texture to match, the lower res helped cover the transitions between panels a lot.
I know Amelila mentioned not being full happy with the one used I the S.Sandy mod
(This pattern is used in S.Sandy, Lower Jeuno, W.Adoulin, E.Adoulin)
I feel like the answer to this would be like using waifu2x to get an upscaled version of the original and maybe overlaying a flat marble surface over it a bit

Been a while since I messed with FFXI's graphic settings. I'm loving these HD mods, but the one issue I have is the pixels seem to "shimmer" as I'm moving around. Once I stop, they gradually seem to stop shimmering and stabilize into a static image (pixels close to me stop moving first, pixels further away take a second or two to catch up.
Would adjusting MIP or Bump mapping help with this?

For those experiencing "shimmering" textures using my mods: Try reducing your background resolution in the FFXI config utility. For example, if your computer has a screen resolution of 1920x1080, don't set your background resolution above 2048x2048. You should notice an immediate effect when playing the game again

I know Amelila wants to post here, is it possible for an admin / mod to validate their account to be able to post?
I would think they will just use the one they already made, it looks pretty good imo and there are so many other textures to update that need the attention more.
My worry is, they will spend a lot of time reskinning the side rooms. Which causes lag when people run into range same as in sandy south.

I dunno if this is the right place but, does anyone have the fonts that windower site used to host? xi view or some ***. I just resubbed and I can't stand this eyesore default font poop.
Woah!! Amazing.
I must confess... cant stop some <eyedrops> falling.
Project like this deserve more cretit from SE. I mean, for a huge colossal company like SE will be soo easy to support/embrace/help producing this project. Granting some ADV/coverage in return, and also subs. Matsui Team, if you are reading this (we know you are è.é) take some initiative! Grab your Boss attention! FFXI Community, maybe little but rock-solid, is still passionate and faithfull.
Anyway, thanks to Amelila and whoever is helping making this possible. Wish i have the skill or the money to help myserf >_<
