Texture Replacement

[Tetraspore]

I keep trying to make my own thread for this, but for whatever reason it will not post.

Hello everyone! I am here to present a little proof-of-concept I've been working on.

Yesterday, I went through the process of replacing many of Sophitia's textures with the ones from SCIV, and they look pretty good in game! This is just a quick-and-dirty texture replacement, so I wasn't as careful as I would be and there are some bugs, a few textures haven't been replaced (her earrings, skin, and weaponry), I just wanted to get an idea as to how it would look in game, should I want to continue. Attached are two comparison screenshots.

I'm probably going to start with the UI in its entirety first, and then work my way to characters.

There used to be a pack of all of the characters from SCIV uploaded to Megaupload, however that link is totally dead. So, I'll probably need to rip the textures either from XNAlara models, GMod models (does not contain every character/costume), or just rip them myself (Need to colorize the textures as they come black and white-- kind of a PITA.)

If possible, I'd also like to figure out if I can swap the voiced audio on the ISO itself with voiced audio from the PS3/Xbox360 versions of SCIV.

If also possible, I'd like to tweak the UI scaling for a few things and bring it closer to the console versions of the game, something I'd need to do within the ISO, but I just don't know how to go about that.

SO! That all being said, is there anyone who would be interested in working on this project with me? I've always wanted to play SCIV on my PC, and so far, this would be the next best thing aside from a PS3/Xbox emlulator.
