MM6 HD (Smoother Graphics) Mod

[limerx]

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Sorry, further help is desired.
The HD elements don't seem to be being loading in the game, are there any installation steps beyond copying the files from the RAR into the MM6 installation path?

Some background:
To my understanding I have both the patch and the extension installed, to install the patch I ran the EXE and then copied over the files from the "tmp" download into the installation path.
For the MMExtension, I only have the MMExtenisonTmp.rar download, as based on this thread - https://www.celestialheavens.com/forum/ ... 00#p367572 - it is the one to use as the original is producing a 404, do I need something more than the Tmp download?
The Patch definitely seems to work as quicksaving with F11 works, which I think was only introduced with the patch, and it is playing MP3 files.
I'm not sure how to confirm whether the MMExtension aspect is working though.
It is also worth noting that I have the files for the editor too, although I don't plan on using it, could this be an issue?

I have also played around with the files, renaming hd.sprites.lod and hd.bitmaps.lod to sprites.lod and bitmaps.lod respectively, but when I do this bitmaps.lod changes the world into funky colours and sprites.lod makes all the sprites twice the size, so I assume that this isn't the correct method

I'm not running the game with any compatibility mode settings and I'm using the resMod to allow me to run it in windowed mode at a higher resolution.

Thanks in advance.

Redownload the HD, I've updated the script: https://www.dropbox.com/s/313uxife6akzr ... d.rar?dl=0 It won't fix your issue, but it will fix a few others.

Ctrl+F1 should bring up the console if MMExt is active.

Thank you, I redownloaded and placed the files (untouched) into the installation path. As you eluded to, it does not seem to have allowed to files to load.
I pressed CTRL+F1 and it did indeed bring up a console window, so that seems to be functioning.

Any suggestions?

Edit: something has changed, after adding these new HD file the pause hourglass and hand are now twice the size they were before

Oops, I forgot I changed hd.sprites.lod. Please redownload https://www.dropbox.com/s/313uxife6akzr ... d.rar?dl=0
This also means that mm6hd is working for you.

Thank you, yes I am seeing a difference, maybe I was expecting too much, thanks for all your help

I installed this mod but when I ran MM6.exe it just opens MMExtension Debug Console with the following error. I have Patch v2.0 and MMExtension v2.1 installed.

Make sure you've installed all of these:

I have downloaded all these files & extracted them into the main game directory. I do not see any difference. Also is this compatible with the most recent greyface patch?

You should install the newest version of the patch and ignore that old mm6patchTmp link. MMExt and MM6HD links should be fine, but only for now. https://grayface.github.io/mm/#MM6-Upscaled-Textures is the always relevant link.

It's working now. The difference is more subtle than the high resolution mod for MM7 & 8. It does take the "pixilated edge" off things a bit. It is a shame that these older games take so much work to redo the textures & there is the limited game memory to deal with.

I've updated the archive. Now it's an actual neural upscale done with help of Gigapixel A.I. and custom software for post-processing:

I'm soon hoping to finally release something much bigger when it comes to MM6.

I was wondering if there is any chance to see a screenshot of comparaison between the vanilla and your version of the graphics ?
I have another question if you don't mind, is it compatible with the mm8 merge ? Thank you in advance !

Could maybe hint what that something's going to be?

How do you install this?
