Well, actually somebody is doing it.

As I said in the last post, no ETA but I hope I'll be posting more about it soon. And yes, as Googolplex noted, some models are a bitch. Extremely lowpoly (despite that you wouldn't believe how much better a model can look with a hi-def tex on it) and reusing the wrapper in "not the best place" (FUCKING BED in the boat, I hate that model).

The main problem I faced was not adjusting new texture to the model but making it look "dirty". It's extremely tempting to make a HD tex mod and go the clean route for "crispness" and forget the original ambient of the game. Even one of the best texture packs out there, Maldo's, has this problem (fixed fortunately in 4.0 version).

This is mainly why I'll restart the mod (its not like I'm throwing to the bin that many textures, after all).
