Started comparing some of the "Elite" textures with the normal ones, began with the character files.

Normal file.
graphics02.zip\mq\maps\heroes\seraphim\seraskin_d.dds
(This is the best quality version of that character I could find, there's also a "lq" path in another graphics*.zip file which is for the low texture quality setting.)

512x512 resolution, compressed a bit down to around 170 KB.

Elite.
graphics21.zip\hq\maps\heroes\seraphim\seraskin_d.dds
(If "lq" is low and "mq" is medium or "standard" then this is the "high" quality setting.)

1024x1024 resolution, a bit compressed but still 620 KB.

There's a similar result for all other textures but I didn't compare that many, due to the increased resolution and filesize I'd recommend a good GPU with a decent amount of RAM (Both video RAM and system RAM) in order to handle this level of detail. Smile



EDIT: Oh and renaming speechhq.zip to speechhq2.zip from the demo and pasting it in the localized folder gave English voices to various things. Smile
(Only tested the main menu so far but all characters properly introduced themselves.)


EDIT: Extracted character textures. Smile

Centurion. (The shadow warrior character.)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/9cjmyc

Dryad (The Bow-using elf character.)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/2p87ps

Equipment (Some hat, part of the archive or rather folder with the characters in it.)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/or96c9

Guardian (The temple guardian character.)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/7h4i74

Highelf (The Sorceress highelf character.)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/zsqvna

Inquisitor (The Inquisitor character.)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/7m0ood

Seraphim (The Seraphim character.)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ye8urc

(Unpack into the GameFolder/Pak/ directory and rename the "HQ" folder to "MQ" - assuming you use normal/standard quality textures this should then take over - sort of like a mod.)


EDIT: One of the devs must have had fun retexturing this demon character to a Xenomorph.
(Wonder what else I can find among the textures.)

I was thinking of the monster/animal/npc textures but that would be well over a gig to upload.

I'll see if I can do something though.
(Hopefully the full DVD will spread a bit, since currently only a few private German torrent sites have it.)

It would have been better to skip the whole "LQ", "MQ" and "HQ" texture set though and just use the "HQ" or elite textures from the beginning and then scale them back via mip-map levels as most other games do, pretty ineffective to have three of every texture and it does take extra space that way.

The actual biggest change will be the terrain however as you can't zoom in that far to see all your character or even monster/npc/animal/mount details and they're already pretty well detailed.
(Which is what the majority of textures cover, terrain and various objects. - Trying to find the camera settings to allow better zoom but I haven't found it yet.)

The HQ pack is also on a semi-private demon like sounding tracker, so it's not just german sites.

Dude im not sure abotu this Beckman (lol, dan bäckman Very Happy ne, men mm), but i think the Elite texture pack ONLY upgrades the non-equipment/character textures..
At least thats what i saw a dev post somewhere, the actual normal textures already have the max res character textures, because those are the ones that always need to be super-high res (for eye-drool purposes).
Basically he said that the stuff the Elite pack changed, was the enviroment textures and every non-equipmen object in the entire world (rocks, ruins, houses, trees etc).

Now, you might just tell me im wrong, but i'd like to know if you checked your textures folder before or only after installing that pack. If it does indeed contain double-res character textures, i just have to get it Very Happy

I jsut checked and i dont have that graphics21 file.. Fuck! Im gonna have to get it now Very Happy
7 damn gigs.. sigh. How will i ever get space for that, already cramped. Oh wait i know, getting rid of Sims 2 + all exps, 20gb free right there. LOL Rolling Eyes

Ditto. I loved Sacred 1.
I want to buy this as well. But, don't really want to wade through all the pages here to figure out if I can buy and English version right now or not. What little I did read... was rather confusing with the key buying and what not.

What can i say, i like playing with virtual dogs and cats while pretending to meet virtual people in virtual clubs while having a pee-accident on the virtual floor, then laughing at my virtual self for being so lame. Shocked Very Happy

There's nothing russian, its german ;>
You can either buy a cdkey from the distributors site, harmlessly. Its the website of the german distributor of the game, its no shady business venture lol.
Or, you can wait until febuary 2009 for it to be released in the US Smile

Yep im surprised how good it runs online with 7 peeps (the most so far ive tried with).
It doesnt have the same general latency issues that Titan Quest has, where you wait 1-2 seconds until the enemy you are hitting actually gets hurt (along with hit-sound delays, resulting in a very detached feel).

Its more like, 0 lag in combat, every hit is instant, every dmg on the enemy is instant. Its when the mobs die that there may be a 1 sec delay until it ragdolls or drops loot, far better than having the entire combat be lagged out Smile

Ok so let's put things in order a bit.

Elite texture pack or whatever you want to call it adds a bunch of new PAK file to the game numbered "graphics20.zip" to "graphics 24.zip" with a few blank 1KB archives going all the way up to "graphics32.zip"

Every single texture in the game has been updated as per the example I gave above.

Graphics02.zip holds the files for medium quality (MQ for short) or "default" texture quality for various characters whereas graphics04.zip holds the low quality (LQ) files for the low texture quality setting.

Graphics21.zip from the extra DVD holds the "HQ" or high quality (Or Elite) texture files for that setting and even after going trough all of the zipped archives I haven't been able to find a better texture quality level for the characters than the above "MQ" file.

So the bonus DVD does improve texture quality for characters (And monsters/npc's/mounts/animals and more.) Smile

Low quality:


Medium quality:


Elite/High quality:

Anyone else getting 5-10 second pauses on their machine? My bro and I are playing co-op, although the game runs great for me he's having issues. Every 30 seconds or so the came just stops/freezes and if you wait long enough continues where it left off. As a result he has to play windowed in order to unfocus the game window when it freezes and refocus than the freeze goes away.

Wierd stuff but I can't find a solution.
