Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q)If you have a question, you can use the contact form on the right. Any Common questions I'll add to the F.A.Q. for simplicity.
Why is your website messed up? Your title is tiled and I can't read anything! Most likley you're using Internet Explorer to view our website. Unfortunately IE doesn't support as wide a range of web standards that other browsers do. We're using somewhat odd CSS to achieve the style on this website. IE, last we tested, did not properly display the page.
It's been two weeks since your last update? Is the project dead? No, the project is not dead. Unfortunately we have very few people currently working on the project, and we try to work together to stay on the same page. Given differing time zones, and schedules, we can't work all the time.
I've been working on getting the project avaliable to accept more contributors. If you want to help out, you can always Send Me an Email, or join us in the chat on the Contributor Dashboard. We're always looking for more helpers and resources for the project. |

Why are some of your screenshots weirdly colored? Are you gonna mess up the game?
When I first started on this project, I didn't really know what I was doing. Since then, I've been constantly learning as I go. The odd colored textures in early screenshots were used to identify the textures in the game, so I could look at them while working. This was an extremely inefficient way of doing things, and has since been modified. Newer screenshots will not be off color, except for rare circumstances.
When will you be finished? What about a beta release?
I can't give any dates out, because I simply don't know. Our schedule could slow down if something happens to one of us, or could speed up if we get other people working with us. For a beta release, we are going to release early versions of the pack when we reach a junction point. The first planned release will be once we have every texture done from before you first enter Hyrule Field for the first time.
You can get early access to the pack if you decide to help out with the project. All contributors will get their name (or alias) in the credits, have access to the pack at any time live with updates, is allowed to critique (with more seriousness), and may collaborate on unfinished textures. You will also be given your own page on the website, will be allowed to upload screenshots, and will be given your own section in the forum to stand out if you so choose.
If you want to help out, you can hit us up in the Chat, or Send Me an Email.

Where can I download this?
We haven't made any public releases yet. Therefore there is no way to download the pack other than to become a contributor. When we do make a release, It will be available for download on this website, and will most likely be mirrored on other sites. A torrent may be made as well. We do have other plans for releases which will show up on the Downloads Page when we get to them. Don't be surprised if we don't have anything up yet though. This project will take some time.
You guys are awesome! Can I make a donation?
Sorry, I'm currently not allowing donations for this project. Currently we're using free web hosting, and working in our spare time. If the site becomes popular enough, and we require costs to upgrade to a better service, we may put up a donation button. But for now, we're not being greedy! If we end up with someone who wants to help out, but can't afford a necessary item, such as the game, which WE ALL OWN RIGHT!?!, a temporary donation button will be put up for that individual's benefit.
How can I help out? I don't have any talent in art.
Anyone can help! Even if you can't draw, or don't feel comfortable with it, you can take photos to help us with resources, make suggestions, comment, critique, and spread the word! Another thing you could do is dump the original textures from the game, and organize them for us, which is always a great help. Everyone can do something, and I'm sure we can come up with something for you. Everything helps!
Why are you spending so much time on Retexture Helper, rather than the texture pack itself?
I am working on the texture pack, and Retexture Helper. RH is an important side project for me because I know that I can't do this pack alone. Many people struggle for organization when working on a group project, and RH is my solution to that problem. In addition to getting more people to help out with the project, I'm also creating a way for others to start their own projects, without the hassle it takes to organize and cooperate. Any work I do on RH is directly beneficial to this texture pack, and that's why I am focusing more attention on it at this point.
