Mystic Rift

mystic-banner

Long time ago somewhere around Ice Rift release I wanted to create a special reskin for Summoner’s Rift. Why it’s called special? Because basically it’s not reskin, but more likely light and contrast redesign into night and magic style. But I didn’t wanted to make it just darker SR map, I wanted to create something inspired by dark, glowing and mysterious looking forests, like from Avatar (film) or Alice in Wonderland (remember Cheshire cat and place around him?). So, here it is… Mystic Rift.

Video

Screenshots

In this map “reskin” you wont find new textures or models. All the textures are original from Summoner’s Rift map (the one that is Visual Update). Main change is brightness and light redesign. Everything that can glow or have light now is a lot more noticeable. Also turrets are like street light now with specific color depending on what side they’re placed. Nexus, Inhibitors and base walls are also a lot more noticeable in such darkened place. All the minions (Pool party and default ones) were darkened to fit with map theme, same with jungle characters, Baron and Dragon.

Whole map isn’t that dark, but it is darker than default SR. In some places you can see lunar light, like in some jungle places and at base. Sadly I can’t redesign every champion (thats a lot of work: all the champions plus their skins), i.e. his base look and every his skin to make it match with map brightness. So some champions may look very bright for such dark skin. At same time it adds some contrast clarity, allowing better differentiation between landscape and champion models and their spells.

General info

  • Authors:
    • Salwin (average map brightness and contrast)
    • Existor (glowing effects, testing)
  • Loading screen is also redesigned to fit new map style - preview.
  • Reskin size - 155 mb. Includes low and medium textures.
  • Artwork used for article banner and skin preview can be downloaded here.
  • Team colors. I highly recommend to turn off Relative Team colors because on this map skin top team is always colored with red while bottom team is always blue. To avoid color conflicts better to turn this option off.

Updates

  • Version 2 - 09.07.2024
  • Ground & Jungle texture noise have been reduced (with Smart/Surface Blur)
  • Ground & Jungle texture edges now are sharper
  • Added low and medium textures
  • Version 3 - 10.07.2024
  • Minimap is a bit brighter now (picture). Not too much because otherwise blue side minions and structures (towers and inhibitors) will be hard to see
  • Version 4 - 13.08.2024
  • Ground textures has been updated with better quality. Full article about changes.
  • Version 5 - 24.08.2024
  • Futher color, brightness and contrast adjustments across whole map textures (only ground ones)
    • River is darker and less saturated
    • Ground terrain is slighty sharper. This was done to compensate blurriness of ground texture from previous update
    • Stone rings around turrets have been adjusted to fit better with brightness around and with turret itself
    • Slighty more soft colors (closer to orange) around torches
  • Minimap is more clear (same type as patch 5.14)
  • Minimap tint changed to purple
  • Minimap can be downloaded as separate mod (for those who prefers to use Classic Minimap mod)
  • Version 6 - 30.08.2024
  • Minor texture fix at the right gate of blue (bottom) side
  • Installation

    1. If you don’t have Wooxy, get it
    2. Download Mystic Rift v6
    3. In Wooxy go to Skins.
    4. Drag-n-drop downloaded wxy-file to Skins window. Do it separately for Mystic Rift wxy-file and for minimap. You can’t drag-n-drop multiple files. I.e. drag-n-drop one file, then another. Not need to click “Import skin” button.
    5. Select imported skin and Install it.

    3. Can you please stop using this .wxy package nonsense? Everything was fine before when files where in organized folders that I could customize… but now, I can’t use any of these skins since they CONFLICT with my other mods. -.-

      So please, give us the option add or delete files or do like a normal person would and provide ONLY the map texture. Anything extra such as minion textures / building textures / HUD textures should be strictly optional.

          I’m actually not talking about the SS, but the version 6 (whichever is currently linked) in game quality. I run 1920×1080 res and it does indeed pixelate. Riots version looks a lot smoother and so does Yify’s ‘Night Rift’ as far as textures are concerned.

          I’l d/l and load it in again just to check, though.

          Def my favorite map as far as color scheme goes though.

          • Reloaded it, overall it looks pretty smooth you’re right. There are just some rough around the edges spots that look a bit lower quality than the rest. Tips of rocks, the cobblestone, etc.

            • This most likely is the cause of User Account Controls from Windows. To be able to drag files into another program you have to go to User Account Control Settings, and disable by setting the controls to “Never notify” then restart your computer. However, doing this will disable the security settings that ask you permission. So you have to decide whether it’s a worthy trade-off. To find these settings go to your Start menu then in “Search programs and files” type in “Change User Account Control settings” and select the aforementioned.

    36. This is for those receiving an error and getting a notification stating that two files could not be imported. Go to the Wooxy home client, navigate to Skins, open up your downloads folder on your computer where the wxy-file is located and before doing anything else CLICK on the folder where you will find two separate files: one for the mini-map, and one for the skin. Individually drag both of those folders one at a time into the white front of Wooxy’s Skins page where you can see potential or already downloaded map and champion skins. Once you see the two files in there, click on both of them one at a time hitting ‘Install’ to officially add them into the skin client, and voila! Hope this helps.:-)
