Pixelated Moon/Hellgate texture Fix 1.0 - Devil May Cry 3 HD (PC 2018)
by: Crustaceo. Requested by: Levi, the impatient devil hunter
This is a small texture fix to get rid of some of the worst case scenarios in Devil May Cry 3 HD 2018. The goal is to restore those textures to their original and intended design.
PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE MODIFYING YOUR GAME
DOWNLOAD (all files were scanned with Avast before the upload)
-> What this fix does?
-Fixes the extremely pixelated edges of the moon textures in missions 4, 5, 6 and 7 (Vergil boss fight 1)
-Adds a subtle bloom effect to the moon textures in order to make it look closer to the PS2 original.
-Fixes the pixelated skybox textures in Mission 7.
-Fixes the pixelated Hellgate Eye texture in Mission 20 (Vergil final boss fight) and further improves it.
-> What this fix won't do?
- It won't fix all the other terrible textures of the game that weren't mentioned in the previous section (for now). Future updates may come.
Screenshots
-Installation instructions:
! Make a backup copy of your dmc3-0.nbz file just in case you mess up everything.
1- Go to the game's installation directory (C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Devil May Cry HD Collection), open the folder "data", then open the folder "dmc3". Find the file dmc3-0.nbz.
2- I'll repeat. Make a backup copy of that dmc3-0.nbz file in case something goes wrong.
3- Extract the folder "GData.afs" contained inside the dmc3-0.nbz file (Use WInrar or 7-Zip to extract files from the nbz package).
5- Extract the files from the fix that you downloaded (.pac files)
4- Put those files (.pac files) inside the GData.afs folder. This action will replace the old files for the new ones.
6- Move the dmc3-0.nbz file elsewhere. Now place the GData.afs folder where that nbz file was (path is dmc3\data). The game will load all the textures and data directly from the GData.afs folder. So you don't need to repack it back to nbz format.
7- Done. Enjoy Vergil boss fights in its full glory without pixelated textures taking away the immersion.
Uninstalation:
1-Delete the modded GData.afs folder and put back your original nbz file (or your original GData.afs folder).
Suggestion: Reshade can be used to boost the bloom effect of the modded textures and light sources in DMC3. Use it to fit your desires.
