📋 About This Mod
My first attempt at anything graphic/texture related so I know it\'s not perfect but it\'s defiantly better than the original. Hi-Res Lunchbox Retexture Version 1. 0 Author: Dazington E-Mail: Dazington@hotmail.com DESCRIPTION: ..................................................................................... Replaces the standard 256x256 lunchbox texture with a higher resolution 1024x1024. INSTALLATION: ..................................................................................... 1. Extract the textures folder into the \"Fallout 3/Data\" folder Example of what it should look like, \"C:\\program files\\bethesda\\fallout 3\\Data\\\" may be different depending where you installed it. 2. I recommend using ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated so search for it at Fallout3Nexus 3. SKIP THIS STEP IF USING ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated Find the fallout.ini in \"my documents\\my games\\fallout 3\\\" Open it and look for this line: \"bInvalidateOlderFiles=0\" Change it to: \"bInvalidateOlderFiles=1\" If you have an \"ArchiveInvalidation.txt\" in your \"Fallout 3\" game folder add this line: \"textures/clutter/junk/lunchbox.dds\" Otherwise take the one in this archive. USE: ..................................................................................... Feel free to use this texture for anything you want, you don\'t have to ask permission but please give credit where it\'s deserved.
