Anyone got a high res texture of the mysterium xarxes?

[TeddyChynski]

I just need a texture file of the cover of the mysterium xarxes for a project. I'd download the software to view texture files but I'd rather not get an instant virus on my new computer.

Paint Net[1] can be used to see DDS textures with no need of external plugins.

Also, pretty sure Book Jackets mod[2] comes with a high texture version of the Mysterium Xarxes... and also alternate versions too.

The mod has a different xarxes texture, and I'm not sure I'm able to find a dds file for it in the game files.

Yea I think everything is hidden in a bsa file and again, not too keen on installing a decryption thing. Althought I think I now know what the name of the file would be: "mx.dds"

You can use TES4Edit to get the base game textures... I wouldn't count that one as problematic IMO, as it's one of the most widely used modding tools.

Basically, run TES4Edit and tick Oblivion.esm and let it load its stuff... and when it's done, press Ctrl+F3... it should show 'Applying Script' in the messages and after a while a new window should pop up... that's the asset browser.

You can switch Container on the right to 'Oblivion - Textures - Compressed.bsa', and then if you type in the Filter box the name of the texture you want, it should limit the listing to only that texture... for example: I typed 'mysterium' and that would show me a bunch of the textures related to the mysterium xarxes... like these ones:

textures\clutter\books\mysteriumxarxes.dds
textures\clutter\books\mysteriumxarxes_n.dds
etc,

After that you will be able to right-click select it and Save As to whatever destination you want.

I can capture some screenshots for you, if you need more clear steps.

EDIT: Be sure to be on one of the later versions, I'm on 3.1.2, I think... I don't remember when the asset browser was added, but it's been a while! But I'm mostly sure the old 2.x versions did not have it...

EDIT2: Also, I've found that this mod[2] has a higher res version of Mysterium Xarxes that is more closer to the vanilla version... but it comes with a mesh replacer, so it probably has a different UV map.

Got it, but it's much lower res than I thought.

The point was to get the image for the oblivion case art but without the logos and the game title. Not sure if I'm able to find it though.

The modded version looks way too different.

[Leeux]

Yeah, agreed... 256x256 is tiny :)

Maybe you could probably be able to scale it up? I'm not a texture wizard myself, so I can't tell if it's doable... in fact I suck at handling textures lol

But perhaps there are other mods that have those textures already scaled up... not sure about that since I haven't been keeping tabs too much with newer mods since at least a year or so, probably more.

I can make one should you need. Here: https://sta.sh/01peq8q6hc8o
1024x1024 for diffuse and bump both. Not perfect, but good enough for me.

Not sure about clicking that link man, searched that domain and it looked real suspicious.
