I think you'll have to ask M210 about that, I have no idea what causes it.

Will the next upscale release have a workaround for cultists' colors?

User is offline   Phredreeke

Yes! For both Ackolytes (Green) and Zealots (Blue)

In fact, I'd hesitate calling it just a workaround anymore. Here's a comparison of the recolored sprites to the brown and grey varieties, along with a comparison to the original.

I will be using the same method for at least one more sprite.

I have been deliberately holding off on my playthrough of the 5th episode (plasma pack) for this release. Thanks.

This release should have no flickering between different color variations (but please tell if you find any, that'd mean I missed something). The Priest (human form of the Beast) will still appear as a brown cultist. I will probably recolor that when I do the rest of the Beasts's frames, but that won't be any time soon (it has the most frames of any enemy, and that's not counting the cultist frames I would recolor)

@Phredreeke
really, really nice work with your sprite-pack. thx for your progress so far, i like it...and i think it fits better than such ugly 3d models.
you edited the handsprites such as the pitchfork. could you edit the big hud (with these 2 gargoyles) to make it less pixelated, too? would be really nice.

New release. Since this is almost twice the size of the last one I decided to make a separate upload with just the new stuff.

This is really good. I like how your changes are subtle, but seem to bring more detail out of the sprites.

How close are you to finishing what you want to upscale?

Thanks!

All enemies except for bone eels and mini Calebs are largely done. Mini Caleb uses the regular player sprite but shrunk down so it appears fairly crisp anyway (it's something I will tackle when M210 gets multiplayer working)

Cultists are missing swimming animations but right now BloodGDX don't apply underwater color shift to high tiles. For that reason I'm not currently doing those as well as the bone eels.

I feel most non-background stuff left is mostly minor. I think the most noticeable are the thrown dynamite and aerosol cans

I actually made attempts at upscaling backgrounds but dealing with palette variations is a pain (they are for enemies too but at least then I have an idea of when they're needed). Also I have to make sure textures line up nicely when tiled.

Awesome! I'll upscale the swimming animations for cultists as well as the bone eels for the next release then!

BTW does this also apply the different palettes for beast vision and invulnerability?

Yes, but invulnerability hasn't change palette view in original game, therefore it will not working correctly with custom palettes, because it's hardcoded
if (nPalette == kPalBeast)
 {
	hictinting[MAXPALOOKUPS-1].r = 255;
        hictinting[MAXPALOOKUPS-1].g = 120;
        hictinting[MAXPALOOKUPS-1].b = 120;
}

I realise that in the original game there was no indication that you were invulnerable (at least in first person) but I always took that it was an oversight or a time saving measure. This is because you get an indication for all the other power ups, either through the item time or through a change in the screen.
I think it would be good to give the player knowledge of when it is about to fade away. Perhaps as an additional option.

Ha, so you did! I didn't notice because I don't use the larger Huds.

More reason I think to eventually add the option for a coloured tinge to the screen like the reflective shots.
It should also do the flashing to warn you it's about to run out.

Reflective shots. That was what I was thinking of, not invulnerability :rolleyes:

Phredreeke, could you please add to your pack also upscaled fonts so menu and in-game info would be less rugged?

That's interesting, I did not know that.
