Arathian.837: Okay so something I'm confused about. Are the mp4 fmvs and high quality sounds mods included in the team X HD mods, the seamless HD conversion of the team X mod, or classic rebirth in general?
I ask cause there is an awful lot of overwriting of the same files going on with setting this stuff up, and I'm not sure which are the newest files.
.Keys: Sorry, but I also have no idea. Created this thread as a way to come back to it later as a reference for patches, mods and so on but I've not even bought the trilogy yet. Still waiting for the whole trilogy to be here first.
But by what I understand, this would be the order of installation, depending on what you want to install:
Unofficial SourceNext Patch > Classic Rebirth Patches and Resources > HQ Video and Audio mods > Seamless HD or HD Mod
.Keys: It doesn't seem to make sense to use both Seamless HD and HD mod together as they'd change same textures and this would go down to personal preference.
Anyone that has already modded GOG's RE1 and RE2 may clarify though.
You absolutely do need the TeamX HD mod, this is because it's currently not possible to directly replace HD textures in Classic Rebirth or the base games. At the very least, you need their bioXhd.asi files for each game. In addition, and I forget the exact specifics or for which games, but SHDP doesn't overwrite every single file per say; they kept the game file textures from TeamX HD. SHDP doesn't ship just what you need out of respect for TeamX HD, so it's best to install TeamX HD, then SHDP over top of it. Yes, it's a lot of overwriting, but this is the state of the current way of doing things.
For the install order, what I did or would do is:
Japanese GOG > conversion patch for re2 (not needed for re1) > classic rebirth dll and updated .exe files > teamx HD mod > shdp HD mod > HQ audio mods (it's hard to say if TeamX already comes with these... it's better to just make sure, since the HQ mods have been updated since TeamX anyway) > if you are happy with the movies, then stay with them, otherwise check out the multiple movie mods (whether it's the HQ ones, or the ones that remove subtitles).
.Keys: Thanks for the tips!
Hey, I just wanted to share about the DuckStation thing... this is a very per-game setting. It's not one size fits all. The settings I recommended originally seem to only work with re1. For re3, I couldn't go over 5x for both settings. For Dino Crisis, I couldn't go over 2x for both settings. Unfortunately, you'll just need to play with it and make per-game settings, but it definitely can work. I know this is off topic, but I just wanted to throw that out there. You'll know if it works or not when you go to open a door. It'll infinitely load if you have the setting too fast. Obviously the lower the setting, the more jarring the transitions are, so you'll want to test this considerably to get as fast as possible.
