FuturisticEggThief · Apr 23, 2017 9:01 AM

I've attempted my first texture hack. I decided to transform Town Square into Gnorc Square. I would love some feedback!

i didn't even recognize it at first big_smile very cool!

FuturisticEggThief · Apr 27, 2017 5:23 PM

I'm almost done with a 2nd texture hack that is Gnasty Gnorc (Level), with Peace Keepers textures. Stay tuned! big_smile

The before-mentioned texture hack is now done! I was going to call it 'Area 63' but I now prefer Desert Factory. I thought because boss levels aren't done often, I thought I could give it a try. Desert Factory is Gnasty Gnorc (the level not the character.) with mostly Peace Keepers textures. (Some of the textures had a grunge effect added on them.) I like to think of it as an industrialized Peace Keepers. Oh the texture hack? Here are some photos and the texture file itself!

Well, that's all folks, but don't be upset, I am working on Gnorc Cliff, a gnorcified version of Cliff Town, stay tuned! smile

After over a week of delays, Gnorc Cliff is now finished! Here are some photos and the texture file:

i really like your texture hacks smile very cool/creative, and the textures just ... work well where you place them.

FuturisticEggThief · May 11, 2017 1:11 AM

Thank you, I have at least 10 unreleased finished texture hacks, I'm choosing what order to release them in. neutral

FuturisticEggThief · May 11, 2017 6:43 PM

I've just finished a new texture hack of High Caves called 'Wario Mineshafts'. Basically I decided to try a non-Spyro themed texture hack this time around. I chose to take textures from 'Wario's Gold Mine', a map from 'Mario Kart Wii', and put them into High Caves, mainly because I thought I could transform said caves into mineshafts. The result is amazing, at least in my opinion. My favorite part of this texture hack are the castles. Here's some pictures and the texture file:

it's surprising how much the atmosphere of the level depends on the textures used. it makes sense that it'd change the level a little bit, but i would never have guessed it could make the level seem quite that different!

FuturisticEggThief · May 12, 2017 4:04 AM

Thank you for the feedback, I totally agree with you!

Paranoia · May 19, 2017 3:48 AM

Haven't seen these texture hacks until now -- very nice work. Are they playable on an emulator, or just your personal dabblings?
Forgive me, I don't have any experience with hacking/SpyroEdit, etc

FuturisticEggThief · May 19, 2017 6:43 AM

Thanks for asking, currently, SpyroEdit isn't compatible with Spyro 1, therefore, I make these texture hacks in the World Viewer. big_smile

Hello guys, I decided to release a new texture hack for Gnorc Square's one month anniversary. This is a new texture hack called Wooden Fortress Zone. "What is that." you might ask, well, I retextured Dry Canyon with textures from Sonic Generations, (That's why the level is named the way it is.) I took textures specifically from Green Hill Zone, Chemical Plant Zone, and a few textures I made myself. I also put in the sky from Alpine Ridge. Here are pictures and the texture file:

awesome job again! smile once again, it feels like an entirely new level.

Thanks, because of your statements its so tempting to keep the name of the level I hacked a secret, and have the name of the level in a spoiler or something. Also, I bet my posts would be hilarious with an egg thief voice, XD.

FuturisticEggThief · May 28, 2017 8:29 AM

Hey guys, I just finished a new texture hack called 'Rustbucket Graveyard'. This texture hack is of Skelos Badlands (My first texture hack of a non-Spyro 1 level). In this hack, I took textures from the Pokemon Stadium maps from both Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl, I was going to make this a Pokemon themed texture hack, but because the level looks nothing like anything from Pokemon, I decided to not call this a Pokemon themed level. I call this level Rustbucket Graveyard because of the rusted ruins of robot dragons, and because I thought the level name was cool. The sky used is the one from Sorceress' Lair. Here are some pictures and the texture file:

That's it for now, I will be releasing more texture hacks soon. (It would be hilarious if this was the last texture hack I release.) Please stay tuned, and thanks for checking my hacks out! big_smile

36IStillLikeSpyro36 · May 28, 2017 8:48 PM

the differences here are more subtle, but still cool! smile makes it look like some kind of sci-fi thing on a foreign planet. also adds some "grittiness" to the level.

FuturisticEggThief · May 29, 2017 12:39 AM

I agree, this texture hack does resemble the original level it's based on, still looks different though, also thanks of the feedback! big_smile

FuturisticEggThief · Jun 05, 2017 2:21 AM

Well, it's been a week since I released my last texture hack, 'Rustbucket Graveyard', and a while since I did a Spyro themed texture hack, I decided to release 'Charmed Square' a texture hack for Town Square. Basically I took textures from Charmed Ridge and put them into Town Square, mainly because when I was younger, I thought Charmed Ridge resembled Town Square mainly by the orange roofs and the identical skybox. I actually still believe that to this day. Honestly IMO, this is one of my best texture hacks. Here are some pictures and the texture file:

36IStillLikeSpyro36 · Jun 05, 2017 4:17 AM

they do look alike O.o i probably wouldn't have noticed the difference if you hadn't pointed it out.

FuturisticEggThief · Jun 05, 2017 10:52 AM

I think when Insomniac was building the models for Charmed Ridge, they did it as a 'Town Square 2.0'. That's probably why they look similar. smile

FuturisticEggThief · Jun 10, 2017 12:51 AM

Hello guys, I have an old texture hack that I made over a month ago: Glimmer Hill. I was watching a Spyro 2 LP about headbashpocalypse hacking in Glimmer and Summer Forest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mMOsG-BHaw, and noticed similar textures to the Artisans levels, which inspired me to retexture an Artisans level with Glimmer textures. The sky used is the original sky. I think this texture hack looks better then the original level, as the original looks dry and washed out in comparison. Here are some pictures and the texture file:
