What's new
  • Most issues reported these days stem from users not enabling their emulators to use the required amount of RAM.
    We also tend not to use the search feature but post our issues within the texture pack release page.
    Failure to load a texture pack should not be posted in the release thread unless you have already patched the emulator.

    If you don't have the resources to use Large/HD texture packs please do not attempt to do so.
    Users should have a minimum amount of System RAM not less then 4GB's.
    If you have less then 4GB's of RAM do not post about how your emulator crashes,
    RAM is dirt cheap so invest some money into your PC.

    I would like to say thanks to squall_leonhart

Sorry, I didn't mean any harm. My observation was also based on the fact I didn't see much happening on the sections of the forum I visited the last few months but this can't take into account the guest visitors.
Thanks for the clarification
No Harm done, was just explaining as to why people do not post but still use content posted lol. It's all good

I am not aware of such a port. Do you have a link?
Hello there. I was also looking for an HD texture pack for the PC Port, and found your Perfect Dark Forever. Here is a link to the PC Port. All you need is the ROM to get it working:


If you can find a way to get the textures to work with the port, let me know!

Thanks to another contributor, the following link was given to me for the PC port of PD64: https://github.com/fgsfdsfgs/perfect_dark
Yet, as far as I could see there is no plug'n play/easy way to implement my textures in this port. There is a texture.py file in the assets folder but I don't use Python so can't say if there is anything that can be done with that. If someone more versed into this language can have a look, let that person be my guest.

Is it possible to have these work on the PC port for Perfect Dark? Looking everywhere for an HD texture pack
fgsfds (yes that is his handle, I didnt just smash my keyboard) plans on implementing custom texture loading at some point. Other issues such as desyncs with dynamic objects in netplay which are taking priority.

Theres also the fact that not many people within the "community" seem to care about custom textures, while in contrast the wider online space seems to look for textures more than anything else. Such is the case with most old school games.

Merry belated Christmas!
No real news on my end but only a few words to mention that I started light work on character faces with a lot of help from AI (Stable Diffusion XL) and it looks really nice. By combining several versions of the AI-upscaled pictures in Gimp, this looks like the original pictures those textures were taken from.
 
I am getting more and more impressed by this AI thing. Character faces retexturing has been making strides since I found the right tools and got to understand better how to use them. Stay tuned!
 
So, here we are with a new update. It took a long time but at first I didn't think it would be possible to achieve.
So, the new pack now includes characters' heads. I guess they should all be there now so you can play with them in multiplayer mode or have a look at how the cutscenes now show. The only exceptions are;
- the secretary's head's right and left profiles cannot be used. The plugin can dump them but every time with a different name. Very strange and similar to what I got with the game's fonts btw
- Skedars do not appear in this pack, yet they are not needed for multiplayer.

Pack ready for download here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/epz2ufw97n36n88/Perfect_Dark_Forever_0.7.a.7z/file

This could be my last upload as I have already spent way too much time on it, even if I still love doing that. Who knows?

did it work for you?
toss me a save state and ill check it out too, ... never played PD so i don't know where to find the secretary.
 
On the other hand, I realized that there were quite a few weapons left, so my trusty AI friend is managing it even if sometimes the outcome is... serviceable at most
 
You remembered when I wrote that I may stop updating this pack for a while?
Well, I was wrong!

Here is a new update, adding:
- explosions and weapon decals
- a few corrections on some weapons
On the other hand, I had to remove the target texture that can be seen at the Carrington shooting range, as it gave unexpected results.
Now reaching close to 2,200 textures!
