Holy ****, that will make my Retexture project for Assassin's Creed 2 goes in a higher level, I really need that tool

Yep, will take some time to load but it will

You're using it right but yeah, takes its long because the huge ammount of textures, unfortunatelly this is the nature of texmod for HUGE mods, in a weak or in a powerfull PC is the same time.

I hope you run okay the rest of the game

A group on Discord is researching how to insert the textures without the texmod, so, maybe the newer version will not depend on texmod, but I can't promisse that because we're not totally sure if it will work at the moment.

But for the newer versions I'm tweaking a bit more of the citizens and the scenarios.

Looks great and I must say Vice City is my favorite in the franchise but... let me ask, is like "real remake" with the main missions and cutscenes or not?

Still alive? Thats a good surprise

WTF Zaza, you're using my assets in the textures of Retexture Project without telling me?

Me adiciona no discord que lhe passo meu chapa.

Looks like Carlton Banks XD

I will speak in portuguese because is easy to explain since you're brazilian too.

Amigo, é simples, você pode manter sua versão steam ou original sem problemas, a única coisa é colocar o crack no lugar do executavel original. Isso é por causa das frescurites da Uplay, mas desde que seu jogo seja original não vejo mal em colocar o crack para poder usar o mod, afinal, o jogo foi comprado e permanece original não é mesmo?

Rush, I can't even understand what you write, I'm not part of this development team, but I'm also a modder and I need to defend these guys.

Work and personal life is a million times more important than any mod, modders like us make this kind of stuff for free in our free time, is time consuming, is exahusting sometimes and requires a lot of knowledge of the engine.

So you want them to give up their job, and work on the mod for FREE all the time?

Do you see how selfish your point of view is?

No matter the hype, no matter how much you want the mod, modders do it in their spare time, they're human beings, they're not robots, they're not your minions.

So just WAIT.

So many people waited years for mods like Black Mesa and were not disappointed, because they RESPECTED the developers.

Modders HAS A LIFE OUTSIDE THE MODS, THEY HAVE JOBS, THEY HAVE FRIENDS, THEY HAVE FAMILY. LIFE IS NOT ONLY BEHIND A COMPUTER SCREEN!

Well, this is something I agree.
But unfortunatelly, is not something the mod can fix, since the main objective is the retexture.

But in story, setting and a lot of stuff is one of the best in the series

Some suggestions and questions:

1- I know this is a "modern interpretation" but, I can ask for a "optional" 80's cars? I know a few in GTAIV mods, that maybe can fit with Vice City style.

2- The cutscenes for the main missions (story missions) will work correctly? Any status of the models of the main NPC's? Like Lance Vance and Dias? Really curios how you guys wanna make their visuals.

3- We already see the choppers, any plan to add planes or the parachute function of the Ballad of the Gay Tony?

4- Interiors... since the old Vice City a lot of people think about interiors, not only the mission related ones, you guys plan to make more interiors, for example the other hotels or bars? I think this is something cool to give more density to the game.

Sorry if I sound rude in any of these questions, is just... the work you guys are doing is amazing, and the more nostalgic vibe, better ^^

Put the Steam crack in this location:
steamapps\common\Assassin's Creed 2

Not on Ubisoft game launcher folder, and yes, your old saves will be lost because the override of the .exe causes this, unfortunatelly, the lack of an official SDK makes we do such things, is the sad price to pay.

If possible unninstall completely your AC2 in steam and reinstall, don't use your Ubisoft Game Launcher, I will send you a PM with more details.

Not at the moment, since AC2 is my favorite, but maybe someday.

Não vai ser Gordon Freeman, vai ser Gordo Homem Livre, Barné Canalha, Isaque Craquinho, Elias Van Escolar, Homem ponto G.

Ok, sério agora, parabéns pelo projeto, mas não resisti a piada

WHAT THE ****?

With missions and musics?

I have no plans at the moment to make a Brotherhood Retexture Project. Only God knows.
But, If I would do a Brotherhood Retexture Project would be different from that, one or thing could be ported, but essencialy the things would be done from scratch.

Thanks 2manyfigures, I'm glad to help you, in your old comment (for the people who don't know, he was the guest below) was just a matter of instruction of how to fix the problem, but with the right instructions he could load the mod and see the improvements.

Also, he was nice to say this comment here.

For everyone else, if you need advice of how to run this, send me an PM or call me on Discord.

PS.: Demo Release released. I hope you know how to run texmod.
PS2.: Just awaiting moddb approval

Is an intelligent way to think, and I imagine a lot of research involved in that, congratulations!
And about the NPC's?
I notice some "phantom" clothes of citizens, Venice is more common to happen these glitches.

Oh, I will recommend the people use your mod in my mod, MAYBE I will release a demo in these days, need to fix a lot of textures...

Since I moved to a new machine I found a huge ammount of bugs in Windows 10 run.
The old version is running in a Windows 7.

Yes, same tpf's files, different results, to be more clear CTD results.
So I extracted all over again with TPFExtractGui (because for some reason the old .def and .log files don't build) and repacked all again.

In short: I an re-saving all textures all over again, thanks Windows 10 for this inconvenient problem.

Maybe in day 30 (MAYBE) I release the Windows 7 version, but I guess Windows 10 users can have some problems.
And since this mod retexture a HUGE ammount of the textures of the game, a good machine is necessary for that, and the best machines at that moment runs Windows 10 because the hardware (my new Asus motherboard for example can't accept go back to Windows 7), for a clean experience.

In short: The demo can show some problems, I'm warning now. I'm running to fix that until 30 november for a demo release that can be compatible both with Windows 7 and Windows 10.

For the complete experience I'm tweaking the reshade and adapting new ideas for the final version, the final version I have no idea when I will finish.

In fact NPC LOD's is something that looks great to change and improve.
Another simple thing I notice is about the fabric of hiding spots on the roofs disapearing with the mod on, just the fabric. I notice today first in Venice In Frari Area but the same happens in Florence in some places

Great work.
I'm testing with my retexture project and some Reshades shaders.
Looks a pretty good work, but maybe you can tweak the interface to give a sound effect of on/off for the effects.

As the guest says, is possible to draw even further?
And if not, what the other possibilities you can work on via this thing? More enemies or similar?

Good news. Before december we will have a demo release.
Probaly end of november since I got a new machine, thanks for the support guys!

Probaly I will release the final version before the end of the year.
Is in a "hiatus" right now. But what can I say? Most of the content is done, there's no much stuff to mess with. 90% of completion? I guess so...

Thanks man, probaly I will release the final version before the end of the year.

If you want help, I have paused for a little my AC2 Retexture project, I can take some of the work to help.

I would like, if you want to join, add me on discord renandantasID#1486

QUICK UPDATE: HEY GUYS THE LACK OF UPDATES IS BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO DO IT WITHOUT THE USE OF TEXMOD. IS A TRY TO INJECT DIRECT TO THE ENGINE.

IF NOT WORK THE SOLUTION WILL STILL TEXMOD.
