Better Looking Mobs and Merchants (Beta)

[modestlaw]

This texture Pack applies a new higher resolution texture to nearly every Mob in the Original Zones. Every updated texture is at least a 2x increase with some mobs being 4 improvement. My goal was to keep as close as possible to the original look of the characters and make it so the older Mobs don't look out of place next to the Kunark and Velious textures (which tend to be much higher quality)

This mod is compatible with Green/Teal Servers

Process:
-Original textures were dumped and loaded into photoshop and tiled. Some textures also recieved light touching up so the AI could have an easier time identifying various elements

-Textures were taken to Topaz AI Giga Pixel and were upscaled to 6x, sometimes under different settings.

-Some textures were also ran through Waiufu 2X to be upscaled as well, depending on the texture.

-The texture is then brought back into Photoshop, denoised, as well as cleaning up or hand make any elements that didn't scale well.

-The textures were then scaled down and cropped to their final size.

This is a Beta,
Please post any weirdness you might encounter by telling me what mob has an issue and in what zone.
Screenshots are helpful but not required.
The Named Dragons and all post launch content has not been touched yet.
I cant fix misaligned textures without redoing the UVW maps of the 3D models, which is way out of the scope of this project.

Feel free to leave any feedback or suggestions as well. Fippy Darkpaw has never looked better
