Yeah I used to know exactly what that meant I'll have to review my documentation to refresh my memory and I'll report back how are you doing this project with omzys script?
 
Thanks!
No not from omzy, i'm doing everything from scratch in vb6 + waifu + imagemagick (+gimp for some extra filtering if neeeded).
 
Hum, think i spotted it.
In some fields folder's there is more than one layer group, so i have to works on then as spares scenes or it'll end as resize error....
Need to works more on my automation soft ^^
 
Well good luck with that coming up with an algorithm that cuts smooth layers was kinda a pain but maybe you have more experience than I do.  If you dump everything from Palmer it should dump all scene layers just do a batch dump for everything.  If you have any samples id like to check them out
 
Here's a sample from start to the 1 boss (scorpion): http://www.multiup.org/fr/download/97a5de2bc4142ba0b7783935db8e5bab/field.waifu.7z
It's about 100% automatised (need to use palmer frontend to extract and import fields).
it's not perfect right now (layers cut is not resized so when you are behind an object it's overcuted):

yeah the layers look a little blocky right now.  That's the hardest problem to solve if you can figure something novel that would be awesome good luck
 
Yes i need to solve that but i'll release a beta pack once all will be generated for testing purposes.(my corei7 working 24/24 from about 7 days now and not finished with waifu cpu resize ^^' (not using the gpu version because the resulting image is not as accurate than with the cpu version))
So while i'll work to solve the blocky layers edges someone could find some scenes bug (as it's automatised i'm sure that it'll have bugs in special cases fields i haven't spotted).
I also need to resize some scenes with waifu N1 filter because waifu unfiltered is realy crappy (in shinra building for exemple):

Unfiltered waifu 4x:

N1 filtered waifu 4x + some gimp filter:

Hello, i found this waifu version : http://int.main.jp/files/waifu2x-converter_x64_20150616_02.exe.
You need to use it in the waifu koroshell folder (juste rename it waifu2x-converter_x64.exe and overwrite the existing file ^^) , it's using the same command line argument, provide the same detail level but can use the cpu or the gpu ^^, so it take about 8x or 9x less time to resize than the cpu version (geforce gtx 960 vs [email protected]).
 
Pretty impressive. By pooling together your talents I believe you can really recreate fantastic 2D screens.
 
I might have found a way to  smoother layers cuts (not perfect with all layers - need to solve ^^')
Before:

after:

You may want to borrow from omzys work if possible his later cutting work was the best that's been done so far at least in an automated script
 
It would be great but i 'm not familiar with the javascript langage and don't own photoshop.
But i'll try to transpose it if i can't do it with my method.
 
I found a way to do a correct edge cut with imagemagick, it's about the same result than with omzy (not 100% perfect, it's impossible to automate when screen have barriers or small part) but it's correcting some omzy edge cut bug too (the "warning" plaque in the 3° game screen have a back dot with omzi for exemple).
I think the main engine of my software is ready now so I'm runing a complete field pack generation (will take some time) so i can test it and check lots of special case.
So you have a list of buggy field witch need some manual traitment so i can test and correct them if needed.
Thanks
 
Yeah I can get that to you. I'm still in the middle of something now but I have some time tomorrow to collect the info and I'll post it up
 
I've found in omzy javascript some spécial fields traitment andhave added them to my soft (for some of them it was already good) so i you have some special fied cases witch are not in omzy's facepalmer

thanks again
 
Hello.
I've generated all once again to avoid missing pixel and i'm playing the whole game again to spot bug.
I'm after the livestream and so far the only field i can't get works properly is :

As you have take it to you patch i gess you found a way to get it works ^^, so if you can share it, thanks


I have another screen i can't get works as i want but don't know if you have found a way for this one (get the cabin filtered but cant get the black bug out):

the layering on that first screen just needs to be adjusted I might be able to get to it as for the second one that is unfortunately unfixable really since a portion of that scene is actually hidden in a 3d model file and it is beyond my skill to fix
