BazingaPrime

A texture pack for Metroid Prime that replaces everything with Bazinga

What's left to finish

• Replace the sound effects in AudioGrp
• Maybe rig a sheldon model onto Samus (don't expect this for a long time)

What the hell is this?

A Byproduct of my own boredom, it replaces every texture (and eventually every sound effect, I'm working on it.) in the game with Bazinga

Why did you make this?

no good reason really, was just bored. I was inspired by a L4D2 mod that turned everything into Bazinga (mod was made by CriticalChrius, go check his mod out)

Ok I'm mildly interested, how do I try this?

I made this texture pack with Metaforce in mind, so I'm gonna tell you how to use it that way.

• Download the latest version of Metaforce
  • It's recommended you download from the continuous folder, as those builds are much more up to date
• Download Blender as well, anything from 2.83 to 2.93 should work just fine
  • make sure Blender is located in the C:\ drive, specifically C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation, as that's where Metaforce looks for it
• Open Metaforce-Gui
  • select a directory for Metaforce to extract to (The shorter the directory path is, the better, so sorta like C:\Metaforce or /home/Metaforce for Linux)
  • Click Extract then select your iso of Metroid Prime
• once it's done extracting, download this git repository (git clone https://github.com/BoofOof32/BazingaPrime.git. Or click Code, then click Download ZIP, and extract the contents into their own folder)
• In the extraction directory, go into the MP1 folder and drag and drop the folders from the Bazinga Prime folder into the MP1 folder to replace all the textures
• Then open Metaforce-gui again and click package
• Enjoy

What about Dolphin?

The thing with Dolphin is that the way the textures are named differ from Metaforce, so if I were to make this pack compatible with Dolphin, I would need to rename all of the textures for them to work. Not only that, I also have plans to replace things such as the sound effects and maybe change some models, and I can't really do that on Dolphin without just modifying the iso. An Xdelta file for this mod could be made for Dolphin, but I sadly don't know how to make those. If someone actually knows how to make one, I'll gladly accept a pull request for that.
