Dynasty Warriors 5 +XL+EMPIRES HD TEXTURES NTSC

[SomberTwilight]

CAUTION: THIS PACK WILL NOT WORK ON PCSX2 2.0 OR LATER 1.7 VERSIONS AFTER 1.7.5553! IF YOU WANT TO USE ANY DYNASTY WARRIORS PACK USE THAT VERSION OR LOWER.



This is a pack for Dynasty Warriors 5, and for XL! It is best if you only use the 5xl expansion and just use the PNACH cheat codes to unlock the base game. This pack includes all maps for the base game, and Destiny Mode. Legend maps are now done! Grab the link below

• Notes
• If you're stubborn and only want to use the base game disc with the texture pack, you need to change the SLUS file name in the pack to SLUS-21153.
• There are some visual bugs due to 1.7 not including plugin support that corrects warriors games.
• visual bug for example is the "white lines" when musou is fully charged like in photos below
• I will continue to cuss out the pcsx2 community until they include cutie as a built in support

Hello @SomberTwilight, thanks for the pack. This is my first time using one and I am having difficulties.
I am playing DW5 XL in Linux with PCSX2 v1.7.5973 running as a Flatpak.

While the character textures load, the floor textures are constantly popping in and out as seen below. This usually happens the moment you step on them.

I've tried many combinations of settings - using OpenGL and Vulkan, precaching without asynchronous loading, among others, but I'm still face the same issue - which sadly makes it unplayable with patched textures.

I applied the two suggested patches to the ISO file directly, but confirm this is the same on the unpatched ISO of the game.

Finally, I've tried to join your Discord chat but Discord declines me for unclear reasons after putting me through a Captcha. Either way, I think it would be more useful here as others can see this forum topic through a search engine and benefit from it, if we can reach a solution, while Discord is more of a walled garden.

Are you using 2.0 or a later version of pcsx2? Some problems will occur with textures due to the devs changing how textures work.

Are you using 2.0 or a later version of pcsx2?

I was using:

I am playing DW5 XL in Linux with PCSX2 v1.7.5973 running as a Flatpak.

My PCSX2 has now updated to 2.0.3 and I can confirm the issue remains. Though, further testing shows it only happens in certain levels. For example - the terrain is fine in The Yellow Turban Rebellion (184 AD), but not in the Battle of Si Shui Gate (191 AD) or Guan Yu's Escape (200 AD). I'm not sure as to why these feature the constant clipping on the terrain textures, but others do not.

As mentioned, the character models load as expected.

Please, could you try the version 1.7.5553? If I recall corectly, it was somewhere between those versions that the transparency got broken, and that's why I stayed on the 1.7.5553

Keep up the work <3

Thank you for your help @SadOrigami. From reading the changelog - and bearing in mind I'm not a programmer, I settled on version 1.7.5571. This avoids a few changes in PCSX2 (1, 2, 3) which could have impacted texture packs.
The pack now works as expected, and looks great! Thank you for the good work, SomberTwilight.

Edited: there were still some levels which could not correctly load terrains. However, downgrading further to 1.7.5557 resolves the problem.
