Default EQClassicHD - better elf pixels!

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The EQClassicHD team is: Cucumbers, PaulG, Sorn, and Zaela

EQClassicHD is an EverQuest retexturing project that features higher resolution textures for player characters.

Features:
· All player character related textures (armor, handheld items, weapons, faces) have been upscaled, retouched, or completely redone by Cucumbers, PaulG, and Sorn. Textures redone in the past by Nysus, Xevin, and Joyelle are also included.
· All player character textures have been converted to .dds to conserve space, memory, and allow for mipmaps.
· Various animation & epic particle fixes by Zaela.
· Transparency fixes pre-applied & minor Velious helmet visor tweaks.

Check out PaulG’s screenshot thread!

Visit our discord for technical help, bug reports, or to discuss tradeskills with Sorn.

We will develop a wiki page dedicated to the project and the work put into it.

I still don't get whether the blade textures are included or not and what exactly the difference is.

Elementals are not, at least this I found out :-)

Some blade textures are included, but there is another separate set you can use. Cucumbers will have to comment as I don't know much about it.

Here's a post that compares the two - qqClassic Swords are the default, Maximum Hi-Definition Swords you'll have to download and install yourself: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...2&postcount=24

Here's a thread I made for the redone elementals and a guide on how to install them: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=256151

And here's a link to download both the redone elemental and blade textures: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0By...kptS1VmZ3lFd2c

To install the redone blades, follow the same process for installing the elementals, but add them to the "gequip" S3D archive instead.

The completely redone elementals and blades we decided to keep separate just because they aren't classic (not even a little classic), but I think they're awesome. The elemental and blade textures included in EQClassicHD are upscaled, and the blades are slightly recolored and retextured, but the difference isn't as noticeable.

Redone blades:
