Myth 1&2 AI Upscale Future Attemt

[Akven]

So, anyone tested new textures?

[Myrd]

It's a bit hard to judge when playing in-game without seeing side-by-side with before/after.

Perhaps it would be good to post some screenshots of the same scene with original vs. upscaled textures?

[Akven]

Screenshots for changes in vanilla vs ESRGAN

I found some small glitches, but they are fixable.

[Akven]

So what about new version of Oak with auto-rescale feature for sprites?
Cause all textures are done

[Akven]

I found several bugs with RLE textures and fixed them (so textures no longer render bugged ingame).
So for the world textures upscale mod is fully complete

Just unpack to game folder. Contains all the world textures from Myth 2 and The Fallen Levels.

Also, here 3 new screenshots with visible differences:

P.S. What about Oak tool with upscaling support? I will forget Myth engine soon and it will be hard to remember details. Also, I'm working on Clive Barker's Undying upscale, so don't know what about my free time.

I am waiting on it too. I want to test some upscaling magic for different things.

[Yakolew]

Thats some beautiful work done Akven. Always makes me happy to see people working on this game

[Akven]

Thank you!

[Akven]

I uploaded this pack to ModDB

[Akven]

Hello. Were there any updates to Oak to enable upscaling of sprites?

[ayrton_jay]

So, anyone tested new textures?

was doing the "solo campaign", but in the Gate of Storms level, it didn't load

I did some tests and ended up discovering that this "pack" closes the level and returns to the main menu

I tested it on 2 other computers and the same thing happens, when removing the files from this pack, it works again

I'm forgetting something? any update for this?

thank you and congratulations again

[Akven]

I suggest one of the textures used by this level is broken. You need to look in Oak

[Akven]

was doing the "solo campaign", but in the Gate of Storms level, it didn't load

So this is Myth II 9th level?
Try to remove just "gate textures" and "09 monument texture" files from local.
I suggest there is a bug in some level specific texture. Maybe there is some log generated? It would be easier.
I'll try to look into myself in Oak, just need a few days

[ayrton_jay]

hello friend,

yes it would be level 9 (ice level, which escapes to boat)

sorry, I'm extremely inexperienced in the "development/editing" question
I saw now that a "log" file is created (I hope that's it ....lol)

Try to delete (move to another folder outside the game) the archive
myrgard stone marker

And see if anything changes
I don't see anything wrong with this archive, but game says it's it.
Gonna check more later
