Color keying is supported for replacements on formats without an alpha channel: X1R5G5B5, X8R8G8B8 and R5G6B5. R5G6B5 is the only one of those I can export to with gimp. :\ This isn't something I *need* right now anyway. I was going to focus on the normal backgrounds first, then come back to the …

Fixed the seam issue in the backgrounds. Also I figured out how to get the transparency to work finally! Found it by accident, heh. Long story short, pure black in uncompressed r5g6b5 format is rendered transparent ingame. Not sure why pure black works as opposed to pure green like you said, but I …

The x86 version of that tool still doesn't work(same error msg). It's probably some random .dll that you have and I don't. I really don't won't to waste your valuable time on this anymore. It's totally kool, man. DxTex.exe dependencies on Windows XP: - MSVC 2010 runtime libraries - Older version of …

Remember when I said I'd stop bugging you? I lied! XP Ok, got problem here(maybe). I noticed when I started messing with these textures that a line or seam appeared near the right side of the screen. When I dumped the textures I saw that for each camera anlge there where three textures to dump - …

DxTex.exe is a Direct3D9 program. You computer can run directx9 games ? It can run Crysis! Sorry, couldn't help myself. :P (Seriously though, Crysis is MUCH better on consoles. No need to switch to strengh mode whenever you want to jump onto a big rock or choke a mofo... So yeah, never had a …

@ peixoto Tried the DxTex.exe and I get an error - "Unable to create Direct3D Device. Please make sure your desktop color depth is 16 or 32 bit, and d3dref.dll is installed." I downloaded a d3dref.dll and put it in folder and got the same error. I also tried running as admin, camptiblity settings, …

Aah! One click? I thought you talking about something complicated. Hehe. I think skipped a line or three when I read that before. I mean't what said about being.clueless about this different pixel format stuff though. Hmm... found an xrgb8 plugin for photoshop. XRGB8 = X8R8G8B8 right? Sadly I don't …

I was actually about to ask about X8R8G8B8 - I can't find a program to convert/export to that format. I did find some online converters but that just won't do(because of my hard data limit + file size). I thought DDSViewer did but apparently it only opens that format. It doesn't even save in dds …

I suppose I could at least upload my dumped textures so others don't have to do it themselves - is that what you meant? Then all someone would have to do is resize, sharpen, etc., then drop'em in the replacement folder.

I just realized the file sizes I'm dealing with here after I noticed several gigs of free space was mysteriously gone. My replacement textures for JUST the main hall are over 791 mbs! This thing could easily be 200-300 gigs before I'm done! Probably more! o_O I'm still gonna finish this project for …

I don't mind sharing but just to be clear, I'm simply resizing the dumps - not making true hi-def replacements from scratch. It does look much better than the original, similar to say ePSXe or PCSX-R with screen smoothing, and eliminates pixelation, which is all I want. I'm also working on a re-skin …

Nevermind. I just realised that when you check an item in your inventory I can see the selected textures. This should speed things up, :) I really love your work man. Adding tex dump/replacement was genius. Edit: Ah ha! It works in or out of the inventory screen. Simply enabling super resolution …

Probably a silly question but how do I enable widescreen in Resi 1? I can only get 4:3. I don't actually care to play in widescreen, it's just that the pixelated backgrounds are ugly so I'm dumping/replacing them but the little box on the upperleft that shows the current texture is blocked out by …

Sweet! Just tried it on both mine and my big bro's PCs, transparency is definitely fixed. Haven't tested extensively but looks good so far - awesome job man! 😁 Good to hear performance is fixable but I personally consider it, and the 180 turn bug, minor issues.

Tried the latest patch - it's the same result; some characters are slightly transparent. As far as performance; I think is the same as it was initially - 800x600 runs fine. 1024x720 to 1360x768 is a bit laggy at times but playable. Didn't try anything higher, but I assume I'd have to overclock to …

Upload a few improvements on onimusha. The shadow fix now won't cause any glitches and it is possible to set the d-pad and left stick to emulate the keyboard's arrow keys for better movement Great job on movement fix, works great now! However, with the new patch, Samanosuke, his lady friend, and …

Honestly, it's mainly Onimusha that experience lag with. As someone mentioned before, it doesn't seem to be well optimized. Onimusha 3 is kinda the same for me. I have to play in 800x600 to get a consistent frame rate. Other (older)PC games are fine. Like in Oblivion I can play in 1600x900 with …

***The "fix" below is no longer relevant since Peixoto added the 'enable marcos' option to Onimusha. Besides, it probably only worked with a very specific setup anyway.*** I meant to mention this earlier.... For people having problems with the diagonal input not working with onimusha search google …
