Hey everyone. I just finished working on a high-res texture pack for Shadowman on the N64 and I thought I'd share it, in case anyone wants to play that game and try it.
In general, I've increased texture size from 64x64 and 16x16 to 256x256 and applied some filters to make 'em look good. This may not be the hugest texture size ever, but I want as man people as possible to be able to use it without much of a hit on performance.
Though the overall result is quite good, it's not perfect. Firstly, due to the low polygon count on some character models, no amount of texture work is going to make them look especially good. Secondly, I have made some mistakes in adding bump maps and shaders to a couple of textures which makes them seem out of place (a couple wall textures in the Tenement and a ceiling in the Sewer come to mind).
Also, I'd like to recommend Azimer's HLE Audio Plugin v0.56, becuase it's the only one I've tried which doesn't have timing problems during cutscenes with voice acting. If your default sound plugin works correctly, no problem.
The Pack is divided into 3 parts due to size (202 MB). Here are the links:
Part 1 (95,78 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?9s08tu03m0u7bpl
Part 2 (95,78 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?a2cdg8jdlk4qgx8
Part 3 (11,13 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?9894ac1dc8v929o

You can use it freely, so long as you credit me, MasterV, for it's creation. Enjoy!
EDIT: Because I'm stupid, I forgot to mention some things.
1) This is for the U.S. version of Shadowman. It won't work for the PAL version.
2)If anyone has any problems with it, feel free to ask.
UPDATE:
I've made an expansion pack of sorts. It fixes problematic textures in the London Underground and the Tenement, as well as the Prison and the Gad Temples. Just extract it and replace the necessary textures from the previous hi-res folder with the ones from the archive. Things should now be smoother overall, with less textures sticking out like a sore thumb. I've also noticed that when using compression on the Glide plugins, the textures appear smudged, so keep that in mind.
