Psycher, I am having some issues with my object files losing they're transparency. Know anything about that?

I didn't see anything specific for MIP, but there are a lot more Nvidia settings if you use Nvidia Profile Inspector. It gives a lot more granular options, careful what you change though =)

I don't recall seeing what you are seeing in that area, but I also have my AA set to 0x0000002D AA_MODE_METHOD_MIXEDSAMPLE_128X

I found a fix for the texture aliasing. Using EQ-Zip I exported and re-imported the textures in the lakeofillomen_obj.s3d file and that fixes it since EQ-Zip will, by default, add mipmaps to the DDS files when it imports. It looks sooo much better now.

Using EQ-Zip (instead of S3DSpy) should also make Psycher's upscaling process easier since it automatically exports the DDS files to PNG with a PNG extension and automatically imports the PNGs to a DDS format with a BMP extension. It also supports flipping the images to deal with the issue with the chr.s3d files by using some menu buttons.

So the steps for upscaling could be reduced to the following:
Export textures from s3d file using EZ-Zip
Upscale textures in Topaz Gigapixel AI
Import textures back into s3d file using EZ-Zip

Wow, what great work. It would be great to see the Project 1999 team coordinate a wider project to get new textures in place and then to promote them on the homepage. I find it hard to think of any objections to such a coordinated project with respects to saying 'it 'aint classic'.

Very awesome. Glad to see you are back.

After downloading these I crash whenever I zone into Runnyeye.

Just replace the Runnyeye files with the original files you backed up.

I haven't had time to test anything recently so if anyone else is crashing on specific zones, make sure to post it.

Sir Jundrald, are you using EQ-ZIP for these?
