I'm getting an error with the second texmod part. Is that normal?

that ain't normal... i suggest that you double check if ur files downloaded correctly and try again. also remember that this game is pretty old and has problems launching if u have a cpu with more that 8 cores. so maybe it could be that... You'll need to set up an affinity in order to limit the amount of ur cpu's cores for this game only in order for it to run propetly.

I downloaded it 4 times and got the same file error each time. Game runs great and the texmod works if I don't use the file listed with the data error. I just switched it with the one provided in part 1.

Edit: I tried it with my laptop as well to make sure it wasn't my computer and it still shows the data error message. So it's definitely not my hardware causing the issue. It downloads the full 132.99 mb file.

This doesn't work. The instructions are confusing as shit and the texture packs wont load in. You talk about how if you have an 8 core processor then you need to follow step 3. In step 3 you then proceed to go off topic explaining that if you don't have Prototype installed in the default location, then you need to change the "Target" and "Start In" destination paths. Nigga, I have my game installed in the default location so what am I supposed to do? I click on "Prototype (more that 8 Cores)", which isn't even grammatically correct btw, load in the texture packs and hit "Run" but they don't show up. Even just using the default Texmod.exe doesn't work either. Please help.

I went and check if I wrote something wrong in the code for "prototype (more that 8 cores)" and i even moved my game to the default location of steam and it everything was working perfectly fine ... maybe the instructions were to hard to understand. so i re-wrote some of the instructions for better understanding. And in the instructions it was clarified that U needed to move the texmod folder to the prototype folder, not the files inside of texmod to the prototype folder (because if not placed correctly it breaks the texmod)

 

soo i change it soo that u need to move all of your files inside texmod to prototype folder instead of the folder itself. the update should be up soon

you need to download and extract them both...

I extracted them both. Maybe it's because I somehow extracted them separately? This seems like it could have been the cause.

yup, shit's working now. This is due to my own stupidity I believe. Sorry for the mess.

thanks for the assist, makes it super easy to run this game along side the resolution fix. I might try to see if I can get it to run with dxvk. Possibly find a fix with shadows not working for my amd card by spoofing the device and vendor id of an nvidia card

Gook luck on that one 💪

Followed the instructions exactly and put the files from inside the Texmod folder into the Prototype folder. Still doesn't work. Why are there 2 parts with the same files? All part 2 does is overwrite the files of part 1. How does that help in any way? Do I need to start a new game for it to work?

Mate, what you have to do is have both downloaded files in the same folder. Extract the first file and it extracts the second part automatically. No need to extract the second file manually. Then you put the texmod folder in the prototype game folder. Not just the files, the entire folder.

There 2 files because i cant upload an file bigger that 250mb to the page... You need to extract them both at the same time, if u do it separately it wont work. And also, in the last patch I change it soo that u need to put all the files inside texmod in the main prototype folder. (Not the folder itself)

Exacly, altho in the last patch i changed it so the files no longer go on texmod folder, instead they now go in the main prototype folder. In ur case u dont need to make this change since u have the other version and apart of changing the location, it doesnt change anything else

I'll try it!

 

 

Really cool mod, I like the concept. Unfortunately I could never get it to work. The installation process attempt was frustrating and more trouble for me than it was worth in this mod's current state.

I don't know if it's just the nature of 2-part mods or the way in which this one is compiled but I could not figure out for the life of me how to properly install it. I think I was getting stuck on the "extract them both at the same time" part. I get extracting 2-part mods to the same directory to merge them but I really don't know what you're trying to accomplish with the "same time" thing. Never seen any kind of software in my life that required that for installation.

Using a more aggressive compression method or re-hosting on a site with >250mb file size cap (e.g. GitHub) to consolidate everything into a single download would be a good start. Shame I have to miss out on this cool mod for my playthrough.

sorry if u didnt understand... I use winrar (but you can also use other unziping methods like 7zip, etc)  to unzip all my files. just need to select both of them, right click and select press extract here. If u extract one first and then the other it doesnt work

why when i click run it's say shit happened...

Hello!

Thank you for making this mod ❤

I followed your steps and it works perfectly!

This is the things I did:

• 1. I unzipped both parts (TOGETHER) and copied the content into my main game folder.
• 2. I edited More that 8 Cores Texmod.exe -> Target: and Start in:

• 

 

• 3. I chose prototypef.exe as Target Application and added the packages and clicked on Run.

If you encounter the following error, just run the file (More that 8 Cores Texmod.exe)  as administrator

Thanks again ♥
