Nice. I've been incredibly busy and haven't worked on the backgrounds but I haven't forgotten about them. It's best to wait for your updated mod anyway before I resume work.

I agree about the colors. I wasn't remembering right when I wrote that. Later, I wrote:

I spent a few hours yesterday playing around with a single RPD background trying different stuff.

and yeah, I found the colors are the same, but there's a difference in the, well, I call it luma, you call it ...

I enhanced 4 backgrounds.

Comparisons are not in-game, but it probably doesn't matter.

The RPD is enormous, that's why I preferred to ...

My latest idea / experiment:

Interesting problem. Hundreds of people successfully installed this patch and no one reported about any serious problems.

Just so we make sure we understand each other. The mod itself works, that's not the problem. Your 32bit exe doesn't.
(I'm just saying, because I don't think "hundreds of ...

I see. But like I said it doesn't work for me. I did a clean install of RE3 and a clean install of the mod (sorry, it's a short word and I like it, lol!) and then pasted your 32bit exe and it says "Internal error".

Given your modified exe of the mod works, that must mean this new one wasn't ...

Many thanks for the saves and the 32bit exe. I didn't know of that exe, I'll test it later. I googled it and have now caught up with the discussion on vogons. In the past week, coincidentally, I also played around with the DX11 version of dgVoodoo 2 and was hoping to make its bilinear setting filter ...

I wouldn't say that it's perfect but yes, an improvement. It would be helpful if I had saves to every typewriter in the game. Do you have any saves to share?

I only have the bar for now. The RPD were tests of few images that I have deleted. But it should be the next location I'll do. :)

Bar: http://www73.zippyshare.com/v/aViqG7sQ/file.html

I have included both the final filtered .png and the .jpg I personally tested with which were encoded at 100%, as ...

Finished a quick pass of the bar: edit: taken down, will re-upload a new one

(See all 5 comparisons).

Sure, it's not razor sharp, but it does look quite a bit better and I don't see any detail loss from the original images ...

Oh, I thought that's how they show in game, it's not?

Hm.. re-installing video codec just says "Installation failed" and applying the fix didn't make any difference. I ran them both as administrator, just in case.
I should also note that the codec used to play them eg in a media player is already ...

Hm.. In game screenshots of the FMV: http://www.screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/177081

(I always play with bilinear enabled of course).

To my eyes there isn't any loss of detail that there was previously there, it's just the smoothing effect of bilinear. I prefer it smoothed (I even checked ...

I tested the intro in RE3 and it works fantastically! I don't think I will need to be creating a pack without sharpening after all because it looked great in game like that.

Also, how do you like the improved reused-from-RE2 backgrounds I just tested: http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison ...

Just to be clear presently I am not thinking of replicating the effort of removing the burned in subtitles - I was merely talking about depixelizing videos at their original framerate (30 fps).

What about those videos with burned in subtitles then?

Well, it's merely 3 videos that have subtitles so ...

Magic :P
RE3 is my favorite RE game so I'm glad to contribute.

Here is a pack of all FMVs processed for your consideration for inclusion in a future update of the mod.
