The following is a modification for Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, and focuses on the textures for the game. Each texture was extracted, and up-scaled, with adjustments to increase the overall quality of the textures. While each texture retains its 256x256 pixel resolution, many of the games assets are much clearer, and sharper.

I've also performed a complete re-haul of Kain's textures, using the higher resolution textures and re-worked visuals from the Dreamcast version, which changes Kain's appearance to match the opening cinematic.

This modification is a work in progress, and some textures have small artifacts which need to be reviewed; however, I'd say about 99% of the existing textures are artifact free.

EDIT: Update, most previous issues have been fixed, and included as part of the mod, are higher resolution cutscenes, created using upscaling. Which is pretty much the intro for the game.

Consider this release a beta, as I haven't examined every texture in the game. If you find a bug, please let me know where you found it, and I can compile a list of fixes to make.

FAQ
--------------------------

Q: There are huge seams on the walls, and floors.
A: The game has always had those; however, now in places,
they are more obvious thanks to sharper textures.

Q: Everything is black except Raziel when I boot the game.
A: Something went wrong, either re-download the mod, or use the backup of the textures file.
If everything loads black, this means that no textures are loaded into the game.

Q: I get the error message on boot "Can't load texture file named..."
A: Make sure your texture file has the exact name "textures.big".
Also, make sure the "textures.big" isn't being read to, or written to by any other program.

Q: Is this a HD texture pack?
A: Unfortunately, no, as each texture has a 256x256 pixel limit, I can only improve the textures,
I cannot increase the resolution.

Q: I found a bug!
A: Please let me know about any issues you see, as
I can hunt down and fix textures if they're pointed out.

I used the most recent build of the "Soul Reaver PC Texture Utility" from Lost Worlds, and compiled from the GitHub as the latest version allows an "Import" feature to overwrite every texture in the game. I like the idea that with the texture.big file, it can be applied to vanilla versions without any other mods on top.

It's always great to have more tools to work with, so I'll check out your method of texture importation to see it it works better for future updates & bug testing.

If you test out this mod, lemme know how things look on your end wrace, you'll probably spot anything amiss quite quickly due to how familiar you are with the game.

EDIT: I need to a bit more testing, and locate a texture that is messed up, once I do, I'll take you up on the offer to mirror the file online.
