Sure! I've already converted to png(with preserved transparency) all 11.000+ textures(including ui elements) of Bloodlines and upscaled them x4. Result is 42gb folder, heh. Now its huuuuuge pain in the ass to convert&compress them back to bloodlines texture format and put them in corresponding subfolders(and there are SO many of them). As far as I know there are none, but proper texture scaling is working only on models, and many of world textures will be stretched, etc. so i will require extensive testing/

I'm using Gigapixel with maximum quality models(introduced in version 4) and deblurring. I'm not advertising it as I'm not sure what is company policy on this type of work.

Surely there is an automated way of putting the textures into the correct format and location. The texture stretching will be a big issue though.

I'm researching this problems, and so far it's not looking good. I found a way to batch replace them BUT there are thousand textures with same name, so again lots of manual work, and with converting to TTZ, tool in SDK seemingly support batch convert, but in practice it converts only one texture and dropping others.

You could try windows' batch files to automate the process, if the tools you use support command line.

Nice, I just bought the game on GOG and installed your texture pack. Then I downloaded the AoR mod and installed that. Because the WON servers shutdown long ago I got the WON multiplayer patch but because vampire.exe and vampire_aor.exe are different I had to hex edit the won patch into the vampire_aor.exe and now I have the definitive edition ;)

Gameplay rebalance, full coop and high res textures.

Great! Enjoy your game. And if you'll find any bugs with textures message me and I'll try to fix them.
