Re: Possible end to SHP

Discord is the future so I think it’s pretty inevitable I have to be picky here: nothing is inevitable, because everything is the result of a choice that people make. Saying that Discord is "the future", or "inevitable", is the same as saying "I can't be bothered explaining...

Re: Five Hearts, A Gabriel Knight Story by Jane Jensen

Oh Jane, such a tease. What a setup for a story! Did we just get a coded message from Grace? It does seem likely. "Mom, I’d love to have you and Dad visit me in Germany, but I’ll have to let you know when it’s a good time. Right now, I’m chasing down leads to help Gabriel on a new case. I know....

Re: Possible end to SHP

Well, I needed to get used to it too, but over the years many communities were forced to switch to an alternative. Emoticons are customizable there and almost everything else is too. I don't recommend using threads in Discord. I mod two Discord communities, the plus side is that in app form it is ea...

Re: Possible end to SHP

Would be very sad to see it go! Didn't see your messages until now, even though I did check every so often if the forum was back when it was down. Don't think everybody that cares about the installer will also like interacting about it online, but I don't know the download stats of course. This said...

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...
