WidePix v1.3 [complete/final] - GZDoom 4.7.1

[Kinsie]

OK... so the original XBox release of NRFTL had no additional screens... but the BFG edition DID?!

I believe that BFG Edition background was used in the Xbox 360 port as an intermission pic for No Rest. Give me a minute, I'll turn on my battered old 360 and capture card and check...

Okay, yeah, it was used instead of the TITLEPIC too.

Correct. The original XBox version only had additional levels and secret exits to get to them. Plus NRFTL.

Oh, I see the confusion now. No Rest was released alongside the Xbox 360 version. Ye Olde Xbox Port included with Doom 3 didn't have any new content outside of the 1994 WAD easter-egg levels.

Nash, go ahead. Anything else I post in here can be used as well.

Just like to say GREAT WORK It's always nice when someone makes content for a new feature.

Easy enough for Doom2 credits with the interpic.

Thanks for easing my burden, Scuba! Adding these into the repository and big fat credits to you as well.

I forgot to add that what I try to do differently in my pack (as opposed to the aforementioned "someone else already did this and I'm aware" pack) is that I try my best to NOT touch the 4:3 portion of the original image. They have to look like the extensions are cleanly built only into the pillarboxes, and the extensions must blend as seamlessly as possible.

(I know I didn't achieve it 100% perfect yet but these will be constantly updated until I am ultra satisfied yet).

I haven't checked whether yours adhere to this or not but it's not a big problem at all for me to fix them later. You have already provided the hard work - the extensions - it's just a matter of pixel pushing/cleanup if I need to adjust these. :)

Again, many thanks.

They're really close... but in order to blend the edges into the extended space, a few liberties were taken. For the most part, the bulk of the 4:3 central image is entirely intact.

Edit: I uploaded new files in all previous posts so they no longer alter the core 3:4 central image, but add additional artwork for widescreen... all of them that is, except Plutonia. Holy shit, I have no idea how to keep the central image unchanged without modifying the sides to fit the limited resources available to extend the image. I cleaned up the Plutonia sky so the 4:3 image isn't affected, but the rocks are still blended at the edges and slightly different.

I was looking back at the HD widescreen titlepics I worked on and thought this was a better fix for the left side of the screen... it makes the blue blob into something more definite.

Looking forward to seeing this released. I'll be throwing it into my autoload list. Keep up the great work guys!

[Tormentor667]

This is brilliant guys, really good work!

[Scuba Steve]

Sigil is tricky... the image has a border so you can't expand it naturally... a bit of splicing and color correction seems to give it an added border.

...so how do Ep3 style ending scenes work in a widescreen setting? Will the two split gfx BOTH need to be widescreen, or half on one side, half on the other?

Here is the full picture of the Xbox version, in case it's useful.

Still not as awful as the Plutonia title screen.
