terraria hd.

powelly · 14 Jul 2011 at 20:33

hello all, over the course of the next few days/weeks im going to be modding terraria with hd pngs and creating my own texture and loading them in game with terraria png loader and hopefully at the end i will have a complete hd terraria.
cannot wait see u guys soon.

ok so first of all the pngloader which you can download here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24414601/Terraria/TerrariaPngLoader/TerrariaPngLoader.zip

once you download it you must extract its contents to the main terraria directory which should be C:/windows/programfiles(86x)/steam/steamapps/common/terraria
depending on where you have steam installed

once you have done that you wil need to create a folder inside the custom content folder that you have just installed, name that folder suitable for what images you will be putting in there, for example sprites. then inside that folder create another one called images, this is where you pngs are going to be.

after you have done that, load the pngloader check the tick box's and save and quit then add it to your steam profile

and launch from steam

i will be adding to this with new textures and downloads.

either you're a photoshop Jedi, or you're massively underestimating the amount of work this will be

Wow, why cant the game have already had HD textures

Do them all!

powelly · 14 Jul 2011 at 22:10

update

now i shall show you how to make your own textures.
first download the xnb to png program http://localhostr.com/download/ucxr1ZD/XNB To PNG Converter.zip
then go to your terraria directory, then content/images and copy the whole contents of the folder and paste it in the input folder which you have just extracted.
run the program and then you should have png's in the output folder and should be good to edit

hah hopefully people start modding the game, takes the **** how long to wait between each patch and you get woo another blade of grass or a reskin

I was wondering why Steam kept on popping up messages about you playing Terraria every 5 minutes

Want to see this might get me to buy this game.

Semiskimmed · 14 Jul 2011 at 23:02

/salute. good luck with it!

i do kind of like the graphics already in the game though, sends me right back to childhood

but something like this would be cool to try

powelly · 14 Jul 2011 at 23:06

update

right i have figured out how to give it that smooth look, here is my attempt and more of a personal taste at that blue sword that starts with m

<-- rename to Item_155
and the original below

i am no artist and this is my first attempt at pixel work, but i think its going well.
feel free to try in game using the above method

powelly · 14 Jul 2011 at 23:14

Does it work on other servers though?

yep that is on the ocuk server

edit: turns out ivy whip is a bit to complicated for me due to the fact that theres 3 things that extend and they are not in the files

Great idea, and looking good so far.
