BloodRayne 2 FSAA Patch

[_xxx_]

Just tried the HD textures, but it seems like only some textures get used while some are missing. Rayne skin for example is still not high-res. What am I doing wrong, any idea?

The rest of the stuff is working fine, AA, water reflections, specular etc. is all there. I simply put those two zip-files into the main BR folder and used auto config for my HD4870. The res is 1280x1024 (BTW is there a way to set a 16:10 resolution? My monitor is 1600x1050).

Oh and again, great work, the already nice game is so much more fun now

The game is divided in 4 ACTs. Only the textures of the ACT1 have been done & released.

The rest of the ACTs of the game will be released once i finish all the textures (i need more help).

The true HD Rayne skin will be released with the ACT2. I posted some pics showing the huge difference in my previous posts.

During the game, you can press F3 to toggle on/off the HD textures (this helps to check if they are working or not).

Yes, in 'Force Resolution' select 'Enabled' and enter 1680 X 1050 there. Then, select 'Force Aspect Ratio' as 'Hor+'. This will give you 16:10.

Oh and again, great work, the already nice game is so much more fun now

Thank you

P.D: The next version of the patch is going to be really cool. I'm adding a lot of cool new features like enhanced blood pools, enhanced aura vision, enhanced glass transparency, CUDA support, and i'm working in a 'volumetric fog' effect atm. It will be released with the HD textures of the ACT2.

I posted a couple of youtube vids in my blog, showing some of the new effects:

Why Did I Create My BloodRayne 2 FSAA Patch ?

Some guys asked me why did i 'waste' my time with a game like BR2.

This is my answer (remember to click in view in HD):

You'll be lucky if you can enjoy so much a game like i did with BR2.

I recorded this vid for my personal enjoyment in May 2006. A year later, i created the patch.

Enjoy

Nice vid, looking forward to those boss fights. Now if I could only get a better hang of all those special moves...

Oh by the way there is a little bug with your auto-config, the "resource" line doesn't get added to the config file so I had to add it manually.

Well, i have no time to work in this project, but there is 1 person working in some textures.

This is before the last summer (Left: standard, Right: HD enabled):



I have been adding some new textures that he has been creating, but, it's just 1 person.

A good friend finished long time ago the Rayne HD skins (standard & evening gown).

Sorry folks, but, i'm busy with life matters.

P.D: About the Windows 7 support, the new version of the patch is working nicely in my rig, but, this new version is not going to be released before the textures of the ACT2 are finished.
