Tomb Raider VI Remastered - ACFOI (Pack 02)

Description

The purpose of this mod is to improve the visual quality of AOD's Remaster in different areas of the game.

Installation instructions

You can use Remastered Manager with any of my mods in case you don't want to overwrite the game's files; it should work even if you have Mery's Patch installed as long as you use the proper version available in Files. If you don't know how to use the Manager, just overwrite your files in the "TEX" folder in your game's path; just make sure to backup anything before doing so in case you want to uninstall the mod!

Main features

General Notice: any textures that have normal maps attached to them also had their Normals remade based on the new texture created; this really doesn’t change anything (some places have a bit of a 3D feel thanks to it, but not much, and increasing the Normals’ contrast only produces terrible results), but I thought I’d made that clear since some objects will look terrible if you don't update their mapping. Also, the 1K version is obviously better visually, but adjustments have been made to the regular 512 version to compensate for the lack of size.

  []Restored visual details with a higher quality source version of the poster of  "Le Monstre au Scalpel - Corruption". Sadly, this texture is still very small thanks to being a part of the canvas which also includes the scenarios' leaves (poster is 123 x 140 with Mery's Patch and 61 x 68 in the Regular Game). However, I know it's not possible to find a version of it in such quality without a watermark. Well, now it is. Feel free to use it however you want in case you need it for any projects. Also, this texture change has two versions: one which adds yellowish/orange degradation present in the original texture for accuracy and one that is completely unaltered. If you want version 1, just use the regular download. If you want version 2, pick the "Original Posters (Unaltered)" additional download which will also include the original colors and texts of the Café Metro and Vasiley's posters too (read more below at the Café Metro and The Monstrum Crime Scene sections).[/]

  []Adjusted some things in the texture used for the "Ecole de Danse" place. In the original texture, the number was "01 56 67 00 9". The Remaster changed it to "0156 67098". Since numbers in France have 10 digits and I wanted to restore the original, what I did was a mix of both: the first nine digits are an exact copy of the original texture and the tenth number is the "8" from the Remaster, giving us the number "01 56 67 00 98" (properly separated because this is how they're shown in French signs). Changed "tél" to "tél." and "établi 1967" (a common anglicism mistake) to "depuis 1967" (since 1967).[/]

  []Improved the texture of the “Old Glass” book cover with a better source (it's actually used on the next level, but it's being sourced from this one).[/]

  []Revamped the texture used for the keyrings so make they seem more 3D with more noticeable shadows, edges and metallic highlights.[/]

  []Provided a better source for Walter Crane's "Swan Rush and Iris" and adjusted its colors to match the original texture to fix the blurry and pixelated look from the Remaster's counterpart.[/]

  []Provided a better source for the "American Glass" towel (it's a 1960's Kay Dee tea towel featuring illustrations of early American glassware and barware); the object is now completely readable if you use Mery's Patch.[/]

  [*]Provided a better source for the "Chas 'N' Dave" album "You're never too old to Rock 'n' Roll" (although not utilized here, the textur
