[Wide screen support] Full PS3 graphic mod now available + tweaked Steam sprites Mod

[TheGoldenSmurf]

Here is my graphic mod based on the ps3 game.

There are two versions. One being the full console mod, the other keeping the Steam Sprites. In any case, you’ll only have to switch the “updated” option ingame, or not if you were already using it.

The donwload folder. If I end up making an update in the future, it will be available in it too.
htt ps:/www.mediafire.com/folder/xq4ncmss3yiwr/Higurashi_Steam_Modding
(link was censored, remove the space between htt and the rest)

A summary of its content :
- Ps3 backgrounds
- Ps3 sprites (or not, depending on the two versions)
- sunset/night variations and others ps3 exclusive stuffs (new characters sprites, zoomed sprites)
- Ps3 CGs.
- Tweaked Steam sprites
- [NEW] Wide screen support


And finally, you can get the voices by going here :

Four chan. Not half-chan. Only buttmads from that ripoff site call it that.

Enjoy your hotpockets, we have hotwheels :D
...Also, "ripoff site"? Kind of hilarious, considering it's the official international partner of 2ch. You know, the one halfchan literally stole the site code from?

Lol no. It's not an official partner of anything, and it's already dead. It was just a crappy ripoff used as a niche for doxxing people. Enjoy your 4 posts an hour.

So all of the backgrounds in this patch are the 640x480 PS2 ones. I'm grateful, but why does it say PS3 backgrounds?

Most of them are the ps2's but there are also plenty of backgrounds from the ps3 game too, which just have an higher resolution and 16:9 ratio instead of 4:3 for a big part of them. The rest were either tweaked if not remade. Some are in higher resolution in the mod than 480p, but I resized most of them since I got them trough special means where they aren't in optimal quality at all, and looks better in 480p.

For some comparisons between the ps2 and ps3 games, see :

I see. I run 2560x1440 so I find it hard to play at 640x480. That's why I was wondering why all of the backgrounds were that size. The unmodded game actually scales better much because it has higher resolution sprites and the backgrounds don't look as stretched at the 768p option or whatever. Thank you though.

Choices, choices...

8ch is trash and the cripple is an Oportunist.

2ch != 2chan
4chin "stole" 2chan's code,
2ch it's like the japanese reddit for 2chan users, google it if you don't believe me.


Now stop derrailing the thread.

Is it possible to put the replaced music back into the game so that it can be toggled like the Japanese and CGAlternative options? I quite liked both of the soundtracks so I was wondering if there is an easy way to add an extra set of buttons to the config menu. There could be a problem if the same music files aren't always played at the same times in both versions, or if there is more music in one version than another. Just tell me if it is too hard for me to try.

Yeah, I especially miss this one:

Maaan... looking back, it seems I like them all... probably just nostalgia

Now that I hear them again, they where quite good.

A MangaGamer BGM mod would be very nice. It would have been cooler if it was included by MangaGamer themselves, like they did with the original and new sprites.

Well, that's what you get for playing in such a huge resolution. An anon of 2+2chan is trying to find a way to properly rip the ps3 backgrounds, but even them will be only in 960x720.

Well. know thatisn't really for him to decide. Fixing bugs is one matter but adding additional media files that may or may not be still licensed by MangaGamer... it's complicated.

I was hoping he could get permission from MangaGamer, but yeah it could be complicated with the license.

I play it at 1024x768. What I meant is that apparently these assets are lower resolution than the default ones (which aren't stretched when displayed at 1024x768), and can only be used at 640x480 which is a bummer.

The default backgrounds are in 640x480 as well. Only the Steam sprites has got a big resolution size.

Here's an interesting thing I noticed towards the end of the game, but I don't know whether it's due to this mod or one of the updates or it's just always been in the Steam release: I had Mion's sprite switch to the R07 originals (although I have and have always had the Alchemist sprites selected), and then later on, one of the backgrounds changed to what is clearly from the original graphics and not the PS2 background as expected.

perhaps some of the backgrounds weren't featured in the PS2 version?

[Ohagi-Chan]

I once watched a lets play of the first arc, that had the PS2 graphics patched in, but occasionally it would show the old sprites. I don't know if it was due to the lack of PS2 sprites to suit the occasion, of if it was because the old version wasn't as mod-freindly.

What I do know is that one of the graphics that it would use the old version of was one of the dam site backgrounds and the Onigafuchi swamp background, but those missing background are definitely in this patch, I've seen them myself.

That part makes sense... I think I figured out why the Mion one doesn't work, the script is looking for me_se_ma_a2.png (variation of Mion's angry school clothing sprite, me_se_ma_a1.png but with different hair in the original sprites, the 2 on the end of some sprites seems to indicate direction but is unused in updated) but while that exists in the original original and original updated sprites, it doesn't in the PS2 patch so it just falls back to the original sprites if it can't find an updated sprite.

[Ohagi-Chan]

So the way to fix it is to make a copy of the mirrored sprite and rename it with a 2 at the end?
Unfortunately the only way to know exactly which sprite is required would be to search through the script to the point where the error occurred. Which isn't always obvious because characters don't always show up on screen when talking.

I guess you're still using the 1.0 version ? I fixed that ages ago.

I suspect so because while I don't see any version information, I know I jumped on this mod when it was first released, and I may have neglected to update it and was too half-asleep to realise that this was the case. I'll shut up now.
