This texture pack upscales a huge portion of the textures used in the WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain mod created by nero619. It has been designed specifically for the HCTP 2x mod, so it will only work with that mod installed when playing through PCSX2.


The goal of this pack is simple: take the original textures used in the mod and upscale them to look far cleaner and sharper on modern displays while keeping the original style intact.


Included Versions


Two upscale versions are provided so you can choose the look you prefer:


  • High Fidelity Upscale – Sharper and cleaner textures while preserving as much detail as possible.
  • Remacri Upscale – Slightly smoother upscale with stronger AI reconstruction.

What’s Been Upscaled?


A large portion of the game’s textures have already been processed, including:


  • All arenas
  • Superstars and alternate attires
  • Props and weapons
  • Crowd textures
  • Signs and arena details
  • Backstage areas
  • Menus and UI
  • Loading screens
  • Various environmental and misc textures

Overall, the majority of textures you’ll encounter during normal gameplay have already been upscaled.


Current Limitations


This pack is not 100% complete yet.


Some textures only appear during Season Mode, so they can only be captured and upscaled by naturally encountering them during playthroughs. Because of that, some season-specific textures are still missing.


Another incomplete area is bloody face textures. Each superstar (and diva) has unique blood variants, and these have to be triggered and captured manually one wrestler at a time. On top of that, some superstars have multiple attires, meaning the process has to be repeated per attire as well. It’s a time-consuming task, so a few of these textures are still pending.



Future Updates


The pack will continue to be expanded over time as more textures are discovered and processed. Future updates will focus on:


  • Season mode textures
  • Missing blood/face textures
  • Any remaining overlooked assets

If you’re using the HCTP 2x mod, this should already give you a significantly cleaner visual experience while staying faithful to the original look of the game. More improvements will come as the pack gets closer to full completion.

HCTP 2x Texture Mod – V2 Update

Version 1 of the HCTP 2x Texture Mod is already out, but I’m currently working on Version 2. The main focus of this update is replacing many of the AI-upscaled textures with hand-made textures to improve quality and make the game look closer to something that could have been officially produced.

The goal is to keep the Remacri upscaled textures where they work well, while gradually replacing others with custom high-quality textures that blend better with the game.

Textures completed so far:

• Custom high-quality ring canvas

• Custom SmackDown ring apron (first apron completed)

• Custom Everlast punch bag texture:

• Custom vending machine texture featuring real snacks from the early 2000s

More textures are currently in progress and planned for V2, including:

• Additional ring aprons
TVs and backstage monitors
Crowd textures
Signs and arena objects
• Many more environmental textures

Another thing I’m doing is re-organizing every texture into proper categories. For example:

• Ring aprons → Ring folder
• Face textures → Face folder
• Arena objects → Object folders

This should make the workflow much faster and easier to manage as the project grows.

If anyone wants progress updates or would like to try early versions of the textures (they may be incomplete), feel free to message me directly.

More previews coming soon.

SHORT UPDATE:

Currently remaking attires by hand for better quality here is an example showing the rock's attire handmade by myself.

V2 Preview – Improved Rock Textures

before_after_side_by_side.jpg
For the upcoming Version 2 update of the WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain texture pack (for the HCTP 2x Mod), one of the biggest improvements so far is a complete overhaul of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.


In the original upscale pass, some of Rock’s textures could appear slightly grey or washed out. Here I have tried to match the skin tone of how the rock looked during that time period.

Improvements


Rock now includes several major upgrades:


  • Fully remade Brahma Bull tattoo
  • Remade tribal shoulder tattoo
  • Corrected skin tone so he no longer appears grey
  • Improved face textures
  • Enhanced body textures
  • Cleaner attire textures

These changes give Rock a much more accurate and natural appearance during entrances, gameplay, and cutscenes.


Coming in Version 2


This update is part of the upcoming v2 release of the texture pack, which is currently in development. Alongside these improvements, the update will include:


  • More hand-made texture fixes
  • Additional upscaled assets
  • Continued work on missing textures mentioned previously (Season Mode textures and blood face textures)


More previews and improvements will be shown as development continues, with v2 releasing soon.

This is my first time making textures of any kind and will appreciate any tips or improvements I could make for V2 :)
