Hi M210,
at first i want to say thank you for your BloodGDX project, I really like this game and your Windows port is absolutely awesome!

I have one request/challenge for you. Can you think about integration of xBRZ filter into your BloodGDX project?
GZDoom can use this filter in OpenGL mode for filtering sprites and textures and it look really amazing.

xBRZ example from GZDoom:



I would be great alternative to trilinear filtering which will not make everything blurry.

I think it possible only with shaders, Polymost doesn't support it. I will can make it only when we will have opengl2.0 renderer. (Not soon)

This is a real nice feature to have, sometime in the future i hope it gets added.

Okay, I exported all Blood resources and used script to rescale all of them with 4xBRZ, here is the result:



This is first preview, just unzip these files into Blood folder and add "include texture.def" into bloodgdx.def
4xBRZ: https://files.fm/u/jr2gj9vp

I am converting textures with 6xBRZ now. I think there will be problem with cultists colors, I will fix that later.

I've done something similar, except I've been using Waifu2x for upscaling. You can get it in this topic if you're interested

You will run into a lot of palette issues. I've given up on any attempts of upscaling the backgrounds for that reason. Cultists have five color variations, spiders have three, gargoyles and pods have two.

It works fine as a preview and looks nice. Thanks.

Looks pretty nice. but not as clear as the Gzdoom pictures it is blurrier, maybe because of the engine filtering?

I created higher resolution 6xBRZ pack: https://files.fm/u/qkjxkamw
It can be combined with Phredreeke upscaled sprites

I used some textures and fonts from BloodCM high resolution pack.

The game sometimes crashes with this pack. Here is the log of one of these crashes in E6M2:

You are almost answered on your question youself
Just use normal jpg format
You can resave jpg files in photoshop for example

Now that is more like it!

Nice stuff =)

I like the sprites but the textures dont look very nice using the filter i guess.

Could you make a separate pack for just sprites?

Thanks, no crash after resaving.
