Monster hunter 4 ultimate (citra)

**Abhorsen** · 11-25-2019, 09:05 PM

gotto say this was a challenging one to get working like this lol
if anyone need help feel free to drop a comment
or come chill in the discord: https://discord.gg/GrbFWzG (where u can get my newly released V2 for the hd texture pack)

edit: i wasnt aware of it at the time i made this thread and above video, but it looks like theres a hi res ui + texture mod for this game! the video bellow has it on. and as with the psp titles, this one seems to have multiplayer options as well
i was gonna play mhp3rd first but mh4u has way more maps and monsters i havent seen yet lol, and this texture pack+blur/dither fix made it so worth it, the camera is also way smoother in this game

another video, this guy has a pretty unique design, i dont think ive ever fought a giant dung beetle before in a monster hunter game lol.

creepy monkey:

by the way for the MHXX/MHGEN fans out there, you may want to check out https://discord.gg/xgtHXuu
id love to try everything at once but at the same time i kinda want to bite down in mh4u right now lol. looks like the mh4u hd texture project is only partly done, while the hd textures seem almost completed for everything in mhgen and mhxx, yes even for monsters, armors and weapons!

edit: just noticed most custom layouts i could find trough google were configured wrong for the 3ds's 5:3 aspect ratio so i tweaked mine a little.
1800x1080 got rid of the few black lines that were showing at the top and bottom in my recordings and previous screenshots and seems to maintain proper 5:3 ratio.

if anyone else wants to mimic this layout, i'm using a version of Citra called citra valentin 2.11.2

a little update, looks like the hd texture pack is far from complete, so i started looking into upscaling textures myself, so far so good lol

Dundorma 4x upscaled textures:

pre-upscaling of tetsucabra, but i finished all the map textures

and a little before/after screenshot of the tetsucabra set, theres some issues with upscaling textures with transparancy to them. but on some sets it looks pretty cool like this one. note though that the shading is not suposed to be blue :P

this monster was awesome lol, such cool animations

this is quickly turning into my favorite monster hunter lol, spending half the time modding and upscaling, and the other half fighting these awesome monsters i never seen before:

first attempt at replacing textures rather than upscaling, which is as simple as replacing a 512x512 resolution png picture:
since citra isnt limited to 3ds hardware you can go all out with insanely realistic textures if u wanted to

some more nerdy stuff. i made the middle one :P

zamtrios set!

tried blending custom textures together for the beach sand:

worked all night on this little town lol:

with reshade:

next area up for remastering is Heavens mount and all its monsters if possible

here's what i got so far:

edit: i seriously dont know whats up with these gfycat links... sometimes they work, sometimes they dont.

Learned a lot of great things these past few days for texture upscaling, like how a lot of models/textures that came from the nintendo switch can also be re-used for MH4U if you match up the names of the textures. also learned how to split alpha channel from a texture, upscale, and merge them again. its a lot of hard work but the results are instantly visible lol, its very addicting

edit: released a texture pack for this game on the discord

link is in the first post. gonna try get it on the nexus too

man this guy was tough for a low rank fight, i rather fight kirin in monster hunter world on low rank lol

this was a little how-far-can-i-go test :P a 260mb 8192x8192 texture. runs surprisingly well

edit: someone else from the MH4U HD team finished porting all monster textures from MHGU over, so they look amazing now.
we are looking at uploading our mods on nexusmods but its kind of tricky. upscaled textures=ok, but re-using assets=not ok.

finishing up Low Rank with these frenzied monsters

**Abhorsen** · 12-22-2019, 05:18 AM

Today i gave the town Dundorma some more love

edit: already did naja, but this one has the mhxx textures, and it felt more cinematic :P

**Abhorsen** · 12-25-2019, 02:37 AM

trying out IG, love it! apparently its one of MH4U's strongest weapons.

i found some better upscale models so did this entire map again lol, also love the IG <3 my new main weapon

Cathar 4k shot
