Uploading the files right now.
Is it a problem if textures in the mat file do not exist? So is it ok to have a mat file for all goty textures on a MW only installation?
Specular Highlights?

Re: Specular Highlights?
I don't know. I was lazy, so I putted everything in one file without thinking about consequences.
Anyway, in the archive we have BM, Tribunal and vanilla files. At the moment my program loops over all *_n.dds, adds record in the ini, and if there is also _s.dds → adds specMap. If there is no normal map, but there is specular, specular will not be added. I can change this easily if it is needed.

Glad I could help. If you could make some videos I will be happy to put those on our blog

Re-painted vanilla face on vanilla mesh. Adding more detail made it look bad as the original UVs are not good enough.
With 0.28 the mat file seems to be not used, I have no texture effects at all on objects. The ground works properly and uses parallax and specular.
With the last 0.27 build the terrain was using the _n normal maps instead of the _nh parallax maps. Maybe terrain could prefer _nh maps if they are present?

Word. Ugh. It ruins so much, I mean look at the mouth and above the eyes. Kinda like they unwrapped first and then moved the eyes higher up. I was a warcraft 3 modder back in the day, and those UV maps are H O R R I B L E. It's like the early 2000's were cursed. Your texture and normal map looks great anyways though. Now we just need a higher poly mesh and a not-so-horrible UV map to make it look even better.PeterBitt wrote: Adding more detail made it look bad as the original UVs are not good enough.
Re: Specular Highlights?
Stylistically I think it looks pretty cool.

Those are not 0.270 anymore. Those are bleeding edge, source code builds.With the last 0.27 build the terrain was using the _n normal maps instead of the _nh parallax maps. Maybe terrain could prefer _nh maps if they are present?
Re: Specular Highlights?
Very promising, PeterBitt. The meshes certainly could use some work, though -- that right cheekbone looks as if it could poke my eye out. [quote][/quote]

Hello! I'd like to know results of your search for close-to-vanilla texture replacers. Can you share some information?
Because I'm trying to find replacers that sticks close to original.
So far I've found Darknut's works (that looks like filtered versions of vanilla textures):
