3xBR-noblend Sprite Upscales [Update: It's getting BRUTAL!]

[Max Dickings]

Maybe it would look better if you didn't botch it up with hqnx afterwards? (Look at how blurry the ground is.)

Oh you mean turn off HQ#X?

Alright!

No upsizer what-so-ever

And Scaled 4x

.... Oh! It does look better with just 4X.

Can I please have that hud?

Its the HUD from Wild Weasal's Accessories to Murder

You just have to open the pk3 with WinRAR and delete everything but graphics, oldsbargfx, Fontdefs, and Sbarinfo

The visor is an alternative version made by DoomNukem (I think, I can't find his original post)
But here's the one he made:



e/ I just upscaled that one too

[Artand Misserys]

So with v19 released, I upsized all the monster sprites and fatality sprites.

Is this a noticeable difference? Worthy of uploading? Etc.

wow... did you improve all the fatalities of BD19?? please share your work !

[Max Dickings]

Yes, I waited until v19 came out to modify them.

Specifically, I altered -everything- in "DECORATION, FATALITY, GORE, MONSTERFATALITY, MONSTERS" and some parts of "PLAYER"
(Also added in the "Brutal Doom Addon" that was buried in the thread, way cooler subtle gory changes)

For instance:

Original Version, upscaled


"Brutal Doom Addon," upscaled

Eh I hate Facebook, I deleted my account ages ago. Maybe I'll contact Sgt about them.


Here are the resizes,

Just have to run it last after Brutal Doom.

Oh, and if you use WildWeaseal's HUD, it'll automatically use the new visor. If you're not running WW's HUD, it won't interfere.

Original Version, upscaled

It's a Lego Imp!

[Sinael]

For some weird reason not all BD sprites get replaced by highres version, even if there is one in the archive (chaingunned imp is filtered alright, but all animations of chaingunned zombieman are regular. All filtered sprites are present in the archive). Tried to solve it on my own without luck. Maybe its just my issue, but i would really like some help with that.

[Max Dickings]

Is it the imp that's giving you trouble or the chaingunner?

[Sp00kyFox]

Simply, because you can't. The textures don't exist as graphics. [...]

you actually can and it's quite easy. you just have to rip the already combined patches aka textures.
which you can easily do with slade. convert'em and put'em into an hires folder like usual, and there you go.

@Max Dickings
you sure you used the xBR-filter? doesn't look so on the screenshots you posted (probably the problem you mentioned) and judging from you sprite example (which indeed looks like xBR), you didn't used the batch script I posted. the blocky head is an issue caused by the sprite touching the border of the image, which leads to a wrong edge detection. you have to enlarge the pictures boundaries to prevent this from happening and afterwards cut if off again.

Wait wat!

Slade can actually combine patch graphics listed in a texture and export them as a single graphic? That could be a very useful feature. Mind telling me how it's done?

[edit] Nevermind, I found it but Slade crashes everytime I do it. [/edit]

yeah, it sure can
slade is just an awesome tool and keeps improving, make sure though you're using the latest version:

http://devbuilds.drdteam.org/slade/

Mind telling me how it's done?

yeah, no problem. open your wad you wanna rip from. then you go into the texture editor (Archive -> Texture Editor), mark all the textures you want, right click on them and choose "Export To -> File".
can't get more easy than that


edit: ok, too late. but maybe it'll help other users as well.
try using the latest version, hopefully it doesn't crash on you.

edit2: btw the reason why I didn't wanna scale the textures is that many pwads are using the original weapons/monsters but new textures.
so vanilla texture upscales would often collide with'em and create an ugly looking visual mix.

[Enjay]

I am using the latest dev version. It does do the export but then it crashes afterwards. So, it's not that big a deal. I quickly ran the textures through the filter and it works pretty well actually. The effect is more subtle than how it appears with the sprites IMO.


Yeah, I know that resizing the image probably defeats some of the purpose of showing it.


BTW, Slade also crashes with me when I pick a sound font so I can't use it to listen to midis. From memory, the last non-dev version could accept a sound font so I could use that, but then I'd be missing out on other features. It's a minor inconvenience. I think I'm right in saying that Slade uses fluidsynth. ZDoom auto-uses my sound card's built-in sound font when I set fluidsynth as the output. No idea why Slade doesn't. Still, I don't suppose I'm comparing like for like there.

[DoomRater]

So who wants to add this filter to ZDoom?

[TheMightyHeracross]

As long as it's optional, I think it's an excellent idea.
(I'd have it on, but I said optional because some may not).
