Re: Started a high-res re-texturing project of GK3

^ a few of them I actually replaced with a downscaled original, like the... uhmmmm... picknick in the field, hangs in the upstairs hallway of the hotel. That one was an absolute necessity. Tried a few others, but the end result in the native resolutions was barely noticable so I decided to focus my ...

Re: Started a high-res re-texturing project of GK3

OK, I have finally started to look into this. ResChange does not work well on Win11. Sprites do not render properly on top of the backgrounds as you would expect of games designed for 8-bit or 16-color depth. This seems to be an issue with the latest GOG installer on my machine, too. Changes to the...

Re: Started a high-res re-texturing project of GK3

It's a very interesting thread and great work, I came across it on a Steam discussion, I definitely want to try this new high-res texturing project, However, I've been having problems running the game on my Surface Pro 7, I tried setting compatibility back to Windows Visa, but I still get the game ...

Yeah, just replace it completely, remove the old folder.

Re: Started a high-res re-texturing project of GK3

Tested it on a few of the scrapheaps I have lying around, the texture upgrades mostly affect loading times going from screen to screen, but nothing too bad so far. If on a gaming rig (mine is a RTX 4080 / i7 core) you will notice no difference. Tomorrow I'll be on a plane for a few hours and will be...

Re: Started a high-res re-texturing project of GK3

Yeah, they do - just drop everything you want in it - make sure you delete all the files in the old folder first to make sure there are the least stray files as possible.

Re: Started a high-res re-texturing project of GK3

Alright, most problems encountered in my detailed run through are now fixed, among which; 1. The sky/environment textures of Orange Rock are now upgraded, I overlooked them 2. Cleaned up a lot of stray pixels in transparent textures 3. The desk shown from Larry's doorway is now correctly transparent...

Re: Started a high-res re-texturing project of GK3

Sorry to hear that Bonny, I wish you and your family much strength.

Played through the entire game in much more detail now, there are a few details that I'd like to fix before a new release.

Re: Started a high-res re-texturing project of GK3

Okay, thought that the clothes didn't need upgrading and was afraid that it would increase visual tearing in the models, but the hemline on Gabriel's shirt is an eyesore to me when everything else looks so smooth. Going to attempt and upgrade all the clothes of everyone and put it in a seperate pack...

Re: Started a high-res re-texturing project of GK3

That problem was already present for you right? I tried not to touch any of the Sydney textures except for how it appears in the room. Some other things; 1. The scenery outside of Room 25 I haven't touched yet. No matter how I attempt to upscale this visual, it only makes it look ugly. It must be a ...

Re: Started a high-res re-texturing project of GK3

The entire game is done now! First release of this here lil' project, the end result is 2.5 gb when zipped. Played through the entire game really quickly and without looking too closely, to straighten out details. Can't think of a better place than Sierrahelp for a first share, or any place at all, ...

Re: Started a high-res re-texturing project of GK3

I'd love to show it off for my channel and host the final file needed on LarryLaffer.net as a place to download it from. That would be so awesome! If it takes some configuration, I could write an installer for it to make it easier to apply. If I get around to redoing the GK3 installer I could add i...

Re: Started a high-res re-texturing project of GK3

Been working around the clock on this, I think I am about 55% done. Done; - ALL rooms and bathrooms at the hotel except the kitchen, Roxanne's closet and the dumbwaiter (sorry dumbwaiter lovers, it is the most useless room in the game). - Museum, Church, Cemetery, Tour Magdala and all outside locati...
