SCP: Containment Breach

[blissful pilot]

also

[sly badge]

yes

[blissful pilot]

I know this was already recreated so it doesn't really matter, but I think I know what the spreadsheet is of, I was staring at it last night and managed to make out words and write them down I think it was because I was on my phone with it, the larger it is when you look at it the harder it is to make out

-But it appears to be a secuirty schedule or something, I distictively could make out "[LCZ]:" at the top "Quarterly" and what I'm possibly thinking is "duty" but more than anything I lined up the pixels and noticed "Agent Ulgrin" is there and has been copied and pasted over and over again, the pixels line up 1:1 you can also tell by the "g"s

Just something I noticed last night

I'm content with the one you made for the time being because I doubt we'll find any of the other info or text

[sly badge]

interesting

[blissful pilot]

Also those are awesome finds

the ones you did just now

[sly badge]

I got an even bigger pizza btw

[blissful pilot]

Yayyy

thats good because I'm remaking it soon

[sly badge]

I got the paper bird used in the inventory slot

I'd source these but the sources are just images, idk how to explain

the websites are gone but I got the images somehow

this was what I got for the master card. Might have to remake this one but at least the words are visible now.

[blissful pilot]

Nah thats alright, the best thing to do if you can is find the biggest image of it, next best thing is to find the oldest known page hosting the image predating the game, the next best thing is finding the oldest site hosting it

if its not dated at all though, its not a big deal to have a sourced link

there's some photos I have that are like that, just kinda the way it is unfortunately for them

[sly badge]

not sure if this texture is used in the game either actually but here it is https://www.aigei.com/3d/map/song/

[blissful pilot]

I appreciate this too, I've done things like this too

I technically didn't have to make the Pre-v1.3.10 version of the old badge, but I spent an extra day or two remaking it anyhow again, for archival reasons

[sly badge]

it's also just kinda fun

[blissful pilot]

Also I posted the wrong ones

[blissful pilot]

very true

[sly badge]

btw what is your opinion on this? do you think this is used in light1?

I might have been tripping when I compared them

[sly badge]

actually I was able to source this image from here https://ayumijaneeta.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/grulla-fondo-negro.jpg?w=300

[blissful pilot]

Hmmm I thought for sure it was a match, but after trying to recreate it im not sure it doesn't line as up as well as I thought, really hard to say though.

Also I didn't expect you'd go looking for them, but most of the 895 pics have already been found, at least 513s face and the dog

the eye and the bloody hand are the only ones that haven't if my memory serves me right besides obviously larry

[sly badge]

This is the image that was used to make 049's mask texture, not sure what you are going to go about that, when I opened the psd and dissected it I thought about how confusing it would be to recreate faithfully. https://www.deviantart.com/molotovgtm/art/SCP-049-363879877

[blissful pilot]

Its possible to be used

I also own the mask personally

have a 3D model of it

[sly badge]

ive seen it, really cool. And your collection is super cool too. I think you should add a quarter and Styrofoam cup in as well, not very exciting items but they are used in Containment breach so why not I guess.

[sly badge]

yea that video I've seen

[blissful pilot]

Once I recreate a remastered version of the paper texture I want to fold an origami as well

[blissful pilot]

Also In the future I plan to properly scan the tag for this mask as well for archiving

[sly badge]

good idea

do you have a jade ring too?

i dont remember if you got that yet.

[blissful pilot]

This one and the one for the silver one I got

[blissful pilot]

Nope. really want one, its one of the more expensive items though

its likely a high quality Jade Ring from china last I researched on it

[sly badge]

I think a red capsule pill would be pretty cheap, for scp 500

idk where you would get a singular red pill though

maybe a pill bottle instead

[blissful pilot]

that and 079's CRT, (or Exidy Sourcerer) will be the most expensive

[blissful pilot]

probably what I'll do

what I'm hoping for if I can find it is red pill capsule shaped tylenol, because I actually take that now and again, but I don't think tylenol exists in that way

another neat thing I thought of doing is If I can buy another battery and charger for my recon data collector and fix it up so its working, I can probably write a program to run on it to emulate the sNav

[sly badge]

I don't even know what those are used for but that sounds cool

[blissful pilot]

Its just sorta like.. a company owned portable PC for data collecting or GPS in the early-mid 2000s

the company I work at has something simular

[blissful pilot]

I have the gray one too

[sly badge]

I've got a few more easy to get suggestions for this containment breach collection

clipboard, with 173's document attached
king of spades
and eye drops

[blissful pilot]

Oh yeah once we remaster all the documents I'd like to print those too

the hardest stuff to get is probably the ones that don't exist

like the gasmask

[sly badge]

I don't think the gasmask is real unfortunately

[blissful pilot]

the gasmask's design is very fictional

I was actually able to piece together what two masks it was modeled off of, and which model they used but retextured for the game

[sly badge]

sick

[blissful pilot]

I'm creating a folder for remastered textures now, once thats all set up it should be easy to keep track of which ones have been done and which ones need to be done

then I'm just gonna power through them

[sly badge]

perfect

I'm excited to see the pizza poster in HD, that's the only image I've been thinking about being remade into 2k weirdly.

[blissful pilot]

There's also this that needs to be found at some point

not sure what they used for the background

My best recreation

[sly badge]

I always thought it was some weird glitchy thing or editing trick you could do. Looks like that glitch that occurs in source games when you look outside of the map.

[blissful pilot]

Redid pic6 using some new things, just looks better overall. at least for being remastered
Original:

2K Remastered:

[blissful pilot]

gosh I hate myself so fricking much

I started working on remastered textures in Paint.net really early into the project, and while not many textures have been done there, the three that have are such a pain in the ass to port over to Photoshop

that's what I'm trying to do now

Its these textures

so pretty important ones, hopefully will be done soon.. its still easier to port them than it is to recreate from scratch

also.. I thought 2K was big enough for the blood, but I was mistaken, we'll have to go to 4K, which is pushing it because we don't have nearly as high of a resolution of the original image, but I remembered just how big the decal for Gonzales and the 970 corpse event are

Yeah honestly.. I wish we could go bigger than 4K

like.. this decal.. for whatever reason gets really large ingame

4K should be okay though, unless we find a higher resolution than 1024

[blissful pilot]

But can you believe that this 256x256 texture is streched almost as big as the wall which takes up half of the screen?

even if you expected all players to play at 1080p that's ridiculous lol

like the vent texture is 216x216 theres literally only 40 pixel difference between the width and height of both of those and yet one is placed much larger than the other

Insanity

[formal sierra]

batesee 😔

[blissful pilot]

Honestly.. I think this is as good as it's gonna get

obviously because we only had 1024, this one has to rely on AI for upscaling, but seeing as it was going through a part AI part manual workflow, I decided to use that to my advantage and make some of the more close up details look like blood splatter too ..
this decal is used to signify a bunch of different things, a headshot bloodspatter, a impact blood splatter for an entire human body, a body bleeding out, brains getting blown out, so I made the decal try to reflect all those use cases while still looking the part

4096 x 4096

[blissful pilot]

There we go

not as non-destructive given my crappy process of making between Paint.Net and Photoshop, but that's ok. its one of the (Less important for Non-Destructive) ones

I also did that thingy of disabling the layers

doesn't seem like it did much for size though :/

it would've been 300mb so

Unless I did it wrong, its possible

Anyhow, I'll move onto the next texture

[formal sierra]

my dream of the 8K guard blood texture will come true

[blissful pilot]

My dream of true ray-traced Render Target Monitors will hopefully come true one day

[blissful pilot]

Why is Maynard's Document a video in GFX\Items?

very strange

Ok nvm

its both

very strange

[blissful pilot]

My hands hurt so much from saving

or rather copying pasting and flattening the layers

like the shortcuts

[blissful pilot]

Hey @sly badge dunno if you seen this before

it was pretty fun to make when I did

[sly badge]

oh yea I think I saw that, pretty cool lol

[blissful pilot]

I haven't worked on textures yet, but its because I've been doing something WAY more tedious but still important

I'll share what it is in just a second

itll make remastering and recreating textures and especially archiving way way way easier to keep track of

basically its organization

I also stumbled upon this too, you may or may not have seen it

[sly badge]

btw I think I found a higher resolution of the blood texture, I think but it's from 11 years ago which is kinda old https://wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?i=444247

[blissful pilot]

easily the most impressive recreation so far besides the endingscreen being 8k

[blissful pilot]

what resolution?

[sly badge]

3600 x 2700

[blissful pilot]

also the older the better, but it can't be too too recent because.. yknow AI

the one I found was... 17 years ago?

or 14 I cant remember

Ah yes. i've seen that one, its stretched to 3600 x 2700

[sly badge]

oh alright, though maybe it was better but worth a try

[blissful pilot]

so its still the 1024 x 1024 one, just stretched with bilinear sampling it looks like

or bicubic

I took a look at it though in the past

This specific blood texture has been on the internet since at least 2008, so its in a very simular position as SCP-106 where its been reposted a million times to one and came on the internet during its darkest years

so its really impossible to tell where it comes from

my guess being so long is either stock image, or from a movie or movie poster

infact, adobe has a page for it, but it was taken down and cannot be viewed or accessed

Ok so this is what I did, I made a folder with just images for Remastered textures, and all the textures that haven't been done or have yet to be done I overlayed with a translucent Pink so they can easily be seen, noticed, and identified, pink so it catches the eye...
Make sure we don't forget any, I then replaced the ones we've already done

I also have a separate folder for the PSDs, and both will find their way onto the archive online over time

Just incase I happen to lose this, or have to add the pink onto these bloody textures again, because it took forever. here's a backup zip of it

but it also gives you guys access to the current textures that is complete like done there's not too too many

there's a LOT of textures to go through, thankfully.. @sly badge found a fuck ton of the sources already, I'm gonna get onto remastering them right away here, and most of the textures reuse assets, Labels, Documents, Screens, so there's only 1/3 of work based off how many images there are

the HARDEST part will be PBR-ing them, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it

This^ has been what I've been working on for a couple of hours, my hands are really sore from applying the pink, flattening the layers, and saving via shortcut for all images

You'll see there's some textures that are remastered but have "NOT OFFICIAL" thats just my way of saying they heavily relied on AI for their creation, rather than texture sourcing, its from a time before we started sourcing the textures. some of them are not bad, the doors, tesla and tiles. but its preferable that we attempt or come back to remastering or recreating them with their source textures if we can

if they don't have "NOT OFFICIAL" on them it just means AI might've been apart of the process, but majority of the work was done by sourcing a high enough resolution source image and recreating it without losing quality

That's all for now, onto miscsigns3.jpg and dirtymetal,jpg now :)

[blissful pilot]

wohoo

We can also possibly recreate it with font searching

our favorite pastime

[blissful pilot]

Hey @fading fractal do you have to disable all layers inside smart objects too??

if so.. for some of these, might not be worth the hastle lol

theres some that have smart objects in smart objects in groups, because these textures are made of many different parts, and enabling and disabling all might just be worth the extra space it takes up idk

I just did another one and found it's only a 10 mb difference :(

[fading fractal]

you should just be able to select all layers and disable in one go

this is affinity photo, but it's doable in photoshop too

what i used to do if some things needed to be left disabled, is i'd move them into their own group called "disabled". then i can enable everything except those

the affinity photo format is superior. it doesn't have this limitation with hiding layers, and is smaller anyway. this is with all of them enabled

[blissful pilot]

I guess, but (and it pains me to say this) but Adobe is probably the most common. Which means more people will be able to access it and know what it is, I get the impression that a lot of people might look at an affinity file and not know what it is exactly, let alone a project file with layers

It pains me to say it because Adobe can royally suck a fart out of my ass, their corporation is one of the greediest I’ve seen and they have no shortage of interest to screw over their customers when they can

It’s like making a windows program, if I had the choice between making a program Linux compatible or Windows compatible, in my mind Linux is always better as an OS. But then again… if my goal was to have my program reach as many people as possible, how many use Linux compared to how many use Windows? The only best solution is to do both

That being said, if passing project files to other people working on it, I see no problem with using Affinity project files if everyone is in the loop

I say all this because our secondary objective is archiving all this work as well as the Remaster and RTX

[fading fractal]

oh i know, and agree

i was just rambling

[blissful pilot]

Alright, PSD is here

Here's the textures for the Pre-v1.3.9 Old badge or badge2

I'm not really sure what resolution we want to do icons and such, they're only 64x64

But for now, I'm doing 2K and we can scale down if needed

Now I just gotta do the same for the other two badges and then I can move onto dirty metal

[formal sierra]

AFFINITY MY BELOVED

[blissful pilot]

There we go finally!

PSD File for Current Old Badge/Badge2 Remastered

And the textures for that ingame

[fading fractal]

130 MB smaller

PSD needs some massive work lol

[blissful pilot]

How can I export to affinity?

[blissful pilot]

I tried.. those badges took such a long time and I ended up abandoning it at like 80% completion just to get back to it nearly a month later today to finish them. As best as I can

I know the PSD is a mess, but technically it’s just how I made the remastered texture, and I tried to name and label it to make it cohesive enough

[fading fractal]

nooo i didn't mean your work. it looks great

i just meant the PSD format

Adobe could fix it up

[fading fractal]

afaik you can't. Adobe is very uh... Adobe

[formal sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/fuck-microsoft-fuck-microsoft-john-malkovich-malkovich-gif-24980256

imagine it says Adobe instead

[blissful pilot]

Yeah Adobe is down there with Nintendo, Sony, and Viacom

[formal sierra]

fr

[blissful pilot]

One of the worst companies

[formal sierra]

switch to Affinity

trust

[blissful pilot]

Alright tell me this then

What can Photoshop do that affinity cannot?

[fading fractal]

there are a few things... the AI tools for example

but tbh the vast majority of what you'd want to do in Photoshop is doable in Affinity

the workflows differ a decent bit, but it's pretty fast to adjust to

and Affinity's is more versatile imo and less destructive

[formal sierra]

and its so smooth and beautiful and doesn't eat all your fucking RAM

but yeah what kim said lol

[fading fractal]

the only time it used more than like 15 GB for me was when there was a 12k image open

was no problem to edit lol

alsooo affinity supports editing HDR images

[formal sierra]

they do really good with optimization ngl

[formal sierra]

alsoooo thumbnails

don't you need Icaros or whatveer the fuck its called for file previews on PSDs

i think Affinity just comes with that feature natively

[fading fractal]

out of all the files you sent @blissful pilot this is the only issue

[blissful pilot]

That’s probably because it didn’t identify the font yea?

Besides my lame ass color hack lol

[fading fractal]

yeah probably

affinity has real-time layer effects that you can edit at any point

so it's possible to use the drop shadow effect and set it to burn to simulate what you did there

scp 294's original source and image https://www.deviantart.com/staticfactory/art/SCP-294-298815062 2307x3790

I found this on a reddit post so it was easy to find.

[blissful pilot]

I was just about to mention 294

I'm curious if the screen can be found

never tried looking for it

[sly badge]

oh you mean like the tea cups? I could try looking for it, it looks like a normal stock photo

[blissful pilot]

Found Emily Ross's Stock image

https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/serious-young-female-with-glasses-gm176097237-10394970

I was able to find several different photos from the same take

I really want to purchase the one but uh... $30 for the one is steap AF

nvm $11

[sly badge]

no luck on this

[blissful pilot]

still for one photo.. yikes

[sly badge]

also thats really cool

[blissful pilot]

I'm glad I found it in a few minutes.. because I'm just finishing up the badge now

Went for it

at least for the one

[sly badge]

crisp

[blissful pilot]

And with that.. the badge1 "Emily Ross Badge" has been remastered to 4K in a somewhat non-destructive PSD

Onto the next texture

[sly badge]

looks great

I thought I sent this earlier, but here is a higher resolution coin https://cdn.jmbullion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/PID1434892-2017-COLORIZED-ATB-EFFIGY-MOUNDS-NATIONAL-MONUMENT-5-OZ-SILVER-COIN-BU.jpg

https://www.jmbullion.com/2017-5-oz-colorized-atb-effigy-mounds-silver-coin/

[blissful pilot]

I was wondering if you were gonna find that lol

there might be a day that I just spend making the smaller really easy textures, like the coin, or keys, the stuff that doesn't require a PSD file to accompany it

[sly badge]

Somewhere in here is this image. https://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/threads/welsh-themed-pubs.262390/page-2 (BEFORE YOU CLICK LINK)
my anti virus went of while on this website, It said it blocked something which I think might have been a pop up ad, make sure you have a good ad blocker enabled before you visit.

I think this is the origin of the image as well, there are posts from like 2008 to 2012 in here.

here is a link to just the image https://media.crna-hronika.info/2018/02/joint.jpg

also for theming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9kPJJgqJO8

I shrunk the image down to 64x64 and it looks exactly the same.

may need to rotate it a little

[oak dirge]

dank

[fading fractal]

fixed the weird redness

idk why i did this tbh

hope it helps lol

[rancid timber]

Is that always happening or certain seeds? It could be the coffin effect because it flickers texture overlays

[blissful pilot]

nah, because it happens in room2sl which disables coffin effect

I've also disabled the function in the past, and disabled the sprite used for coffin overlay, the same one used by the 079 face, still same effect

[blissful pilot]

I appreciate it, although I'm not sure if its the highest we have yet

[blissful pilot]

man oh man hes on a roll though

[rancid timber]

What about the stuff it does the the players camera?

[blissful pilot]

The issues can be divided up into two problems that need fixing for it to work;

• The first is that in the vanilla game, during the loop of the function for updating the security cameras, the player's camera Camera is hidden, and the camera for the security camera sc\Cam is shown, meaning the viewport on paper switches from one camera to the other for rendering.. in Vanilla this isn't seen by the player at all, because its rendered on the backbuffer, and never flipped onto the front buffer to be seen.. but instead directly copied from memory to a the texture for the screen... which leads me to
• Problem #2, CopyRect for whatever reason here in RTX doesn't work, at least not for these monitors, even if the camera changing didn't flicker, the fact of the matter is that any data or image rendered isn't being copied over to the texture in RTX.. its the most perplexing part of it.

This is the loop for the security cams besides coffin btw

for reference^

Essentially.. the best solution is to find a way to get the result onto the texture or monitors without using copyrect, although someone with more know how or experiance could maybe? troubleshoot CopyRect and figure out why it doesn't work, we don't really know why it doesn't work, that being said, in v1.2.4 which used FastExt for Render Target Monitors, it did work.. because they never used copyrect, but rather set the backbuffer to the texturebuffer.. something not possible without a library like FastExt

[blissful pilot]

Quarter Has been remastered to 2K, this one actually took quite a bit of editing, especially making the dark part of the chin and the ridge of the coin match.. makes me wonder if it is the source image, but I think its a pretty good match up or recreation for the remaster anyhow, it does a good job

Original for comparison^

Also.. take a look at this

I'm not 100% certain that its not a match, but I'm also not 100% certain it is, its very weird. looks extreamely close but the shadows look off..

I'll try to do my best recreation with it though, same as I did with the quarter

yknow what.. looking at it now, it might actually be a match up.. they just made it longer

If I seem slow in pumping out progress today, its just because its my anniversary btw

I still wanted to put in even a tiny bit of work towards remastering today though, so even just INV icons

420-J is almost done

[fading fractal]

i didn't squish it vertically as much

[sly badge]

if you compress it down to the size of the one in the inventory, you will notice the pixels follow the same patterns pretty perfectly, even the smaller details, so I think this is the original. I tried my best to showcase that here It's not prefect but it would be a crazy coincidence if these patterns just happen to look the same.

[blissful pilot]

I know, it’s a Match

You’ll see in the recreation I did, it matches up perfectly I just didn’t notice it at first

[sly badge]

alright

[blissful pilot]

I’m just not at my computer atm :/

[sly badge]

its no problem

[blissful pilot]

I actually didn’t see the video, but yeah that sums up what I saw midway through remastering the texture

It is a match

Still not sure about the quarter tho, if you’re able to better line it up lemme know

That being said; as I said before I’m content with the one I made for the remaster; it does the job really well, even if it found out to be not the same image

[blissful pilot]

Honestly though. Maybe for these smaller ones. Like the 64x64 I should compare with down-sampling. Because yeah, as shown here the squashed resolution can have quite an impact on how visually they match up

So I might do that as a secondary check while working on the INV icons

[formal sierra]

why not do blender renders for each item you remaster?

I think it could look good

[sly badge]

was able to track the gravel texture to this website, I haven't seen it anywhere else yet and it was uploaded in 2010. So the highest possible resolution for the gravel might be 1024x1024. https://www.themovies3d.com/en/downloads/download/26-boden/947-seamless-photo-texture

I have an alternative image that looks really close if that works.

[sly badge]

it goes to Freeseamlesstextures.com which redirects me to another wesbite which looks sketchy. But on the archive you can see the original texture and even there it is 1024x1024
https://web.archive.org/web/20111206070735/http://www.freeseamlesstextures.com/texture_downloads/large/1024x1024_seamless_texture_07.htm

Highest resolution I could find for the medical bay image, I imagine the red cross would be easy to recreate so I didn't search for it, also just looks like they used the hand symbol image as a base.
https://www.amazon.com.tr/Çıkartma-Teklif-İşareti-Elleri-Yıkama/dp/B0BFNW93YN

[sly badge]

Ok, this might be a bit of a stretch, but I think this is the image used for the keyboard texture. It's heavily edited but all the keys line up perfectly, I'm not sure about the right side of the keyboard but this really looks like the full image, or at the very least the same keyboard model. https://www.amazon.com/Mini-88-Keys-Kybd-11-3/dp/B001BTWUAM

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lrav5T3qL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

I think the right side of the keyboard might be an entirely different keyboard

probably a keyboard that is just the number pad, the extra space above is usually on those kinds of keyboards

[blissful pilot]

Yeah the qwerty side though definitely matches really well

[blissful pilot]

Alright! apologies that this took so long, its been sitting at like 90% done since yesterday, but I think its awesome now.. I worked my magic on it

INV420 Remastered to 2K

Now normally for the INV icons I didn't keep PSDs because they are just placed onto a black background, but this took quite some effort to line up and I made a few very slight changes to make it look better at higher resolutions, so I'm keeping a PSD for this one

And yeah it lines up nearly 1:1 the only differences being to down sampling and compression as you cited before

By the way, if you're able to, the teture used for this ticket would be a good find

I was never able to find it for the burnt badge, had to recreate it instead, but I think I did a good job knowing that fact

Also.. I found a possible lead for white.jpg

not much, but its something to work off of

I wasn't able to launch 3D studio world, apparently its only meant for windows XP and 7, but.. they had a user guide and in that user guide is this photograph

so finding a texture CD or some kind of pack that has all these textures might be a good way of finding white.jpg

alternatively

These are the textures themselves but they are in .stf file format, so if anyone is able to work magic and convert these to an image format, we can possibly get a higher resolution texture and/or find others that could've possibly been from the same pack

I've found that a lot of companies that made 3D/game software usually used texture CDs to obtain their textures, so its possible 3D studio world did the same.. if thats the case it means we might be able to find the same CD or source for white.jpg through other textures

This video is what gave me the idea, and it explains it really well.. if it was useful or helpful for mario 64 from the 90s, it should still be useful for 3D game world building software of the same kind from the early 2000s

I'm gonna keep a lookout for someone who can possibly get these textures for me too, maybe someone whos able to get the software working.. for me it got stuck on the "loading program" you guys can give it a try if youd like

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mv2wcmoq5iwzguefctlqh/3DWorldStudio5.6.zip?rlkey=t9ln64h39qnmmvoex6g52ixri&st=5zi228dj&dl=0

Its promising at least.. its a good next step for white.jpg

for now though.. I'm gonna work on dirtymetal.jpg, its almost done and once its done I can easily finish and pump out all of these
loadingback.jpg
gears.jpg
dirtymetal.jpg (1)
and of course dirtymetal.jpg(2)

after that, because I know @sly badge really wants to see the pizza stuff in action, I'll do the signs

[oak dirge]

Would be cool if the cafeteria wasn't just completely clean

[blissful pilot]

I was tempted to add like vending machines or something

Something that doesn’t stick out as much but adds to the environment

Who knows

[blissful pilot]

Boom, found this someone converted the textures from .stf in 3D world studio to image formats, I don’t think it’s higher quality than what we have, but it’s more of the textures

I’m still working at my day job, so I can only view it to a point on my phone

But its progress

Looks like it’s only 512x512 but it still has more textures packaged with the software, so if they come from a CD or something, we could do some looking

Some textures unfortunately still use the same one without changes :(

Just overlayed

These are all the textures included in the .zip I found

So if we are able to find out instances of these from a photograph, a texture pack, or texture CD, we might be on the path of finding white.jpg

Pretty sure the brick is the same used in SCP-087-B too

[blissful pilot]

Damn it actually seems like it’s worse quality

The second is directly from the archive of SCP-087-B

At least it’s more proof of its existence

I suppose we have the actual name of the texture too

“building_template01d”

[sly badge]

its more info than we had before, this is a great find we are making some kind of progress at the very least.

[blissful pilot]

Leadwerks has an official discord with developers, so I decided to ask there

they're supposedly the guys who made 3D World Studio

[sly badge]

I also sent them an email earlier.

[blissful pilot]

ah

that works too

Also.. 3DWS for whatever reason started working on my PC now

so I'm able to view the textures myself lol

although even though I try capturing them... the one from 087-b is STILL higher quality

despite both being 512x512

really strange

and it seems that 512x512 is the base resolution of the texture in the software 😭

[sly badge]

maybe the quality of the textures is lowered slightly to get it to run better or something.

so when the game is published it goes back to it's normal 512 resolution, maybe.

[blissful pilot]

maybe, anyhow.. its still more leads than we had before today

so I'm happy with it so far

[blissful pilot]

This is where I am so far with the reconstruction of dirtymetal

still got aways to go, but getting there slowly

this is probably one of the harder texture to reconstruct, I think they used like a seamless texture generator or something

btw

I think I found the ORIGINAL image for origami

I know we had this one, but I actually found a photograph of higher resolution that matches it pixel for pixel

in color too

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3AOrigami-crane.jpg

2,080 × 1,672 too.. just inline for size for what we need

full resolution for reference

circuit Remastered to 2K

Original:

[sly badge]

these textures always look so clean I can feel them just by looking at them

[blissful pilot]

Its so satisfying with each one that gets completed

[blissful pilot]

This is so far the best AI recreation I can do for white.jpg.. its eh, not great.. but potentially usable incase we aren't able to find anything for remastering

[sly badge]

it's the best we can do for now.

[blissful pilot]

key2 Remastered to 2K

as well as INV1162_1 as well Remastered to 2K

You've basically found all the INV icons too

at least the ones that could possibly be stock images

[sly badge]

awesome

[blissful pilot]

these are the only ones I can think of could be stock images or found online

might actually have a lead for the pill tho

I have an idea regarding it

besides those..

I have no fricking clue what this is

and I say that.. because I know what key is the original 860, and I own it lmao

[sly badge]

I think that rock is just an image of the scp148 model, like the others.

[blissful pilot]

its possible

the pill use to be red and white in older versions, something that 500 never was, so I think thats a hint to what the original image could've been

I'm gonna look im not sure

[sly badge]

oh I think I know what the technology is

[sly badge]

is just a bunch of cut outs of this image here

[blissful pilot]

oh actually maybe..

[sly badge]

notice the 3 knobs and the black bar. there are there, just in pieces

[blissful pilot]

yea I see it

well thats underwelming lmao

I'll play around with it later and see if I can line it up

[sly badge]

also yea that is definitely just an image of the model used in game, I couldn't get the same angle because it doesnt let me rotate it like that but it's for sure it

[blissful pilot]

with textures like that (at least for RTX Remaster not for archiving) I'll just wait until the model is remastered

although I'm tempted to still remaster those assets to 2K with the vanilla assets

just as I want to remaster old/beta textures

Also apperently I remastered INVcoin, but not coin so

coin Remastered to 2K

Original:

This paper texture also needs to be found at some point to remaster documents

I'm not sure if its the only one tho, I'm gonna have to double check the PSDs from VB

[sly badge]

from here I was able to get an nice resolution for the paper which is 2528 x 3555. It's possible this could be bigger, I did see one that was somewhere in 3,000 x 1000, so it was cropped possibley.
https://www.ecoi.net/en/file/local/2078718/Final+GBVIMS+2021+Report_+English.pdf

for the key, I think it's possible the original image might have not been blue, and I'm pretty sure the text says something like

RIMU or RTMU

DO NOT DUPLICATE

there are blue keys but it does look like it was kinda photoshopped.

[blissful pilot]

It’s likely, the original SCP-860 was a key from a 2001 movie called Mulholland Drive, it’s just a Cole National KWI key, anodized blue. But anodized blue comes out more like cyan than dark blue seen in the texture for it in game.. which leads me to believe it’s definitely photoshopped to be blue

When I remaster 860 I’m just gonna use this key (seeing as it’s technically the wikis 860) for the remaster… so finding the current texture is more for archiving purposes; but I’ve never been able to source the texture yet

[sly badge]

It's not much but I removed most of the weird compression or artifacts from this image, just to make it a little cleaner

[short fox]

just wanted to say well done on sourcing all the images and remastering them its a lot of fun to see

[blissful pilot]

I don’t mean to be rude to the guys at Leadwerks, but I don’t think I could be more dissatisfied or annoyed by their response 😅

Their response literally was

“I used chat GTP to upscale it to 4K.”

And that was the image they sent

It’s so blurry too 😭

I told them we’ve already been able to do that ourselves.. but it’s besides the point to what we’re trying to do

Told them it wasn’t just for remastering but also for preservation of dying media and the game’s history

[formal sierra]

yeah that Josh guy is a bit shady imo

apparently he tried to buy the CB remastered server

[blissful pilot]

Guaranteed.. he had no idea lol

I didn’t really know about CBR’s …. History, before this year

It’s like markiplier always saying “you guys should charge money for this” completely unaware to the licensing for SCP being CC-BY-SA

[sly badge]

The response I got from the email said they don't know where they are and that it might be the original resolution.

[blissful pilot]

Was it Josh or someone else?

[sly badge]

It doesn't say

its just leadwerks support because that is their contact email

They must be asked questions about 3dws all the time, they might be sick of it I would imagine.

[formal sierra]

yeah its a mess lol

[sly badge]

so for the pill, it comes from one of the achievements in this game https://store.steampowered.com/app/105300/Critical_Mass/

it's still 64x64 but this is probably where regalis or whoever got the pill image.

[blissful pilot]

pretty sure its where he got this too

well.. made it

[sly badge]

it's actually possible they just sourced the same pill image, but here. I'm pretty sure this is the original pill image.

its a little small, but any resolution bigger than this was blurry or compressed.

[sly badge]

now that I look at this though he probably did get it from this game

[blissful pilot]

Every time @sly badge finds another source this is what plays in my head

[sly badge]

full resolution actually, the filename was istock so i searched it on istock and here it is

https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/capsule-gm117067537-6662885

[blissful pilot]

Pretty sure its a match too, just had to adjust the brightness for it

So I was right on the money by thinking the original image was a red and white pill because of the old texture 😅

[sly badge]

yea thats the only reason I found it was by using the old texture

[blissful pilot]

finding this will be dope too when it comes time

im guessing a combination of images

finally found it

not sure what version it was removed but thats v0.7

[blissful pilot]

Awesome finds as per usual 🔥

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention it, but the old papertexture.jpg is still used in the game too as a map texture, so identifying that is also on the to-do list, although I'm guessing its something similar with the 173 doc, so I might try lining it up later

I don't have a higher resolution one of this unfortunately, but if you wanted to do the deblur thing on it it could possibly reveal something

[blissful pilot]

yknow what though, I could probably remove the filter off of these kinds of photos too

I have the texture for it

[blissful pilot]

not perfect, but I think a lot clearer

The original for reference

[sly badge]

found these https://www.rgbstock.com/photo/mFFw646/red+pills

I think I ended up finding illegal drugs on accident while looking for this image.

[blissful pilot]

it wouldn't be the first time something like it happened

the amount of illegal content i've gone through while searching for the 106 photo is insane

This was my best mockup recreation of what it could've looked like if it was a stock photo

if it helps at all with the pill bottle

[blissful pilot]

I created it before you sent this, so I guess I was right on the money about how bright and highly vibrant the pills were

Oh yeah.. last night I was trying to Remaster decal19, they did the same crap they did with the metal texture putting it through a seamless texture generator

makes it 10x harder for me 😭

[sly badge]

oof

idk if I will be able to find the pill bottle im not getting many good results

[sly badge]

I did find this https://www.flickr.com/photos/78056409@N00/2063714979/in/photostream/

[blissful pilot]

Holy christ its the original

wait a minute

[sly badge]

yea, the creator of the yarn

[blissful pilot]

alright nvm

'

[sly badge]

oh

it isnt?

[blissful pilot]

i thought it might be using the same camera as the 106 pic thats why i said this

it looks to be the original

before even the wiki's creation

[sly badge]

that would have been crazy if they also made 106's image.

[blissful pilot]

the craziest thing about 106's pic is that its not digitally altered or a photoshop

its a photograph, the only edit made being cropped or resized

resized I think actually

But yeah awesome find

I already had a model of 066 too but

I don't have great pics, but you can see the 3D model here

its pretty faithful

[sly badge]

looks great but isn't 066 made of yarn? it looks a little fleshy to me.

or does 066 turn into flesh or something

[blissful pilot]

It’s just the default specular setting

Haven’t made PBR textures for it yet, just the diffuse

Hence why I don’t have really good pics of the model

Still work to be done on it in other words

Plus… I didn’t have the full resolution pic

So I could possibly remake the textures and have it looks pretty good

[blissful pilot]

This is where I am so far with the reconstruction of dirtymetal

getting closer

theres a lot of adjusting, over and over and over again

hopefully I'll be done it all in the next day or so though

[sly badge]

looking good

[formal sierra]

oh fuck yeah

[oak dirge]

So dirty

[blissful pilot]

It’s very strange in how it was made yeah

And INVpillwhite Remastered to 2K

Original:

[sly badge]

I'm not sure you have to do this btw, I sent another version here that fits perfectly. #1212792146743005244 message

the left image

[blissful pilot]

What.. weird

Ok I’ll take a look then

Oh wait a minute

What’s the resolution on that one?

[sly badge]

I think its the same or slightly smaller but cropped, it looks like an extension to the other image actually

I think the photographer may have removed the left image from his deviant art page from spam about it being in scp possibly?

because the one I found on his page is titled something like icetexture1 or something like that

so I imagine there is a second which is of the image on the left

[blissful pilot]

Womp womp

His response was kinda odd though

Because if it’s something they made, taken, or provided by the company, 512x512 would be strange for it’s original size

If it’s from a texture CD that’s a different story

Like if he responds by saying it’s a photograph… how can a photograph be 512x512 when it’s taken? lol

[blissful pilot]

Ah, well the one I found was the full resolution image taken from a stock website of I remember correctly

Hence why I was using it for a recreation

Although if the texture can be 2K then I suppose it’s not as important to remake

[formal sierra]

because they probably yoinked it from somewhere else 😭

[blissful pilot]

Probs

I very much got the impression of being careless from the interactions I got, so it’s not really out there of a theory

There might still be a place that they could’ve gotten it from, but for now.. 3D World Studio might just be a dead end

[blissful pilot]

I don’t think I like Josh lol

My question could be simplified to and was prefaced with; “Do you have any more information on it?” And his response

https://tenor.com/view/excited-so-drums-gif-11982656

Yknow what though, if it was made using different textures there still might be a way to source the assets used to make it

But for the most part, not much to go off of

I’m gonna look into other ways to remaster or recreate it

[formal sierra]

same

to be fair, i don't know much about the guy but idk

just doesn't seem like a cool dude lol

• apparently he was most likely someone that took down CBR

[blissful pilot]

Isn’t that a good thing though? Well.. “Good” it’s technically all CC-BY-SA so it doesn’t really matter

I thought SCP:CB Remastered on steam was a stolen early build of UER

[blissful pilot]

Again, “stolen”

[formal sierra]

if you're talking about CBR getting taken down.. not really. i know it was a yoinked build of UE, but im pretty sure he only did it so that his *SCP game would have less competition

i think its fucked up that Hunter took UE and just added workshop support (publishing as his "own game"), but its also fucked up that Josh at least took part in taking down the game

[fading fractal]

i'd like to ask you guys to maybe take the drama type stuff to DMs or something instead of posting here

it's not against the rules, but i'd also like to avoid us getting sucked into any of it in case they see the messages here

[blissful pilot]

Ah, I’ll be honest I’m not even that invested or knowledgeable about it either, so best not to discuss it here yeah

Anyhow… seems like 3D World Studio and its developers are a dead end for the search, that’s the long and short of it

[blissful pilot]

My response to both of those would be… it’s CC-BY-SA, it’s a reality we’ll likely face ourselves, none of us made CB, but we’re remastering it, and the assets are definitely ours, but still fall under CC, so anyone could take our remastered assets and use for anything they like, good and bad

[formal sierra]

sure, thats my bad kim :)

[blissful pilot]

It’s all or nothing, with CC; it can be a beautiful thing, it’s brought us some of the greatest fan creations and mods because of it, but there’s always gonna be the other side to the coin, people who try to profit or otherwise do what they will, good and bad with other people’s made content

Anyhow, that’s all I have to say without getting too much indepth

Should be a safe opinion on the matter too; just matter of fact

[formal sierra]

100%

CC licenses are awesome and great for the community but can also totally be harmful to that same community as well

luckily theres not that many bad actors in the CB community, since its kind of small anyway lol

[blissful pilot]

Valve built their entire business community and list of games off of modded versions of other games, or by early ideas of games that were adapted

[blissful pilot]

And yet… sometimes (not always) Valve takes down a fan creation or two for their own reasons, like I remember TF2 Source 2 and another one they did

It’s a similar thing

Or hell, better example

Hunt down the freeman

remaster all the VA work for CB as well and just use that one guy who did the voice acting for Shephard lol

Blink and sprint icons

(sprint) this website lets you type in a custom resolution weirdly enough. https://www.pngwing.com/ru/free-png-ysepf

im like 90 percent sure about the eye, looks pretty perfect but there are a lot like it, and 100% sure this is the sprint icon. I'm pretty sure the crouch icon is just an edited sprint icon as well so that is here too technically.

[formal sierra]

what if youre actually Regalis in disguise and you actually already have these textures

kim ban him

also cool find, just need to figure out what was used for the backgrounds of the UI elements

[sly badge]

for SLH_miscsigns poster I found 2 versions of the deer, you can choose which you like more because I'm not sure which to send

[sly badge]

found the coffee stain seen on 079's document, I think this is the creator so 600x400 is the largest it can get, anything larger is probably just resized

https://www.flickr.com/photos/free-photos/3375886335

[blissful pilot]

This is actually awesome because I’m pretty sure I just found the assets used for the bars too

[sly badge]

seriously? those images are so small that's surprising to hear.

[blissful pilot]

I think I found that too

I’ll take a look

[blissful pilot]

I’m pretty sure it’s the same as what they used for some of the signs and such

I’ll do some comparing when I can

[sly badge]

I tried looking for 914panel's texture, I found it, or a couple of them, but the highest they all go is 512x512 unfortunately.

so no change in what we already have

[sly badge]

im really curious as to what this image is and who made it, I can't figure it out.

[fading fractal]

looks like a weird forest

[sly badge]

its meant to be of 860's dimension place, It kind of looks like a 3d render, but it looks nothing like it does in actual containment breach. I wonder if the artist ever uploaded the full image somewhere.

[sly badge]

anyways, scp 990 original image https://wwd.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/6-power-suits-11.jpg?w=1024

it's from a book called the man in the gray flannel suit

there are colored versions which have better resolutions as well, but 990 is already kinda black and white with a little blue. So I imagine it wouldn't be very hard to color. Lmk if you need a higher resolution image I can probably find one

and heres 990's face image https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/serious-old-man-wearing-scrooge-style-suit-and-tie-gm115751350-8413211

for comparison

the face is flipped btw

[formal sierra]

oh sick

[formal sierra]

if you did.. that would be fucking awesome

i think it would be really easy to recreate the UI once the backgrounds are acquired since i believe the other elements are literally just #ededed/#FFFFFF

i do believe they might have another texture overlaying them tho

[blissful pilot]

Oh I have something for this actually

Well something lemme see if I can find it

[blissful pilot]

Alright finally on my computron for the day

christ, what a busy day so far

but now I should have plenty of time for textures

The original 079.jpg and 860.jpg loading screens, These we're sent by Omniary on Undertow forums way back when, and were one of the first finds I made, Omniary said they were the clearest and most uncompressed versions of these images they had, without the grunge layer too Link

[blissful pilot]

In response to this

From this same post on Undertow forums I was also able to find an original of 372's loading screen, and 860-2's eyes uncompressed, or at least as they said

[blissful pilot]

I believe the 372 one if any could be a real picture on the web.. maybe 860-2, but besides that it's likely everything else was made by artists for SCP:CB back in the day

Hope this helps @sly badge

I'm gonna try to finish that blasted metal texture

seriously guys, you don't know how much I can't wait to get that crap done

[formal sierra]

and you aren't even done when you finish the albedo right

cause the PBR variants also need to be made 😭

[blissful pilot]

well, no; however it'll be 100x easier to make those

keep in mind, right now, the metal texture is made by layering edge of it to make it seamless

its like 8-9 different pieces that I gotta line up and guestimate to where each piece starts and ends

thats the only reason its a pain

[formal sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/thule-grimblo-buge-armorized-gif-25080894

[blissful pilot]

These are all the layers of it

This is why its been taking so long lmao

https://tenor.com/view/stewie-crazy-family-guy-insomnia-straitjacket-gif-11617438

[formal sierra]

oh god 😭

what a pain in the ass

by the way, i'm not sure if you already knew this (a lot of progress has been made by @sly badge with texture sourcing and i've only been keeping up a bit lol), but apparently v0.1.x versions of CB came with a slightly higher-resolution texture for whitewall.jpg (512x512->669x669)

i know this isn't the source, but i don't think you guys have found it yet (i can't remember 😭)

oh and its also .png instead of .jpg

i wonder if v0.1.x have any other previously .png format assets

theres definitely higher-res versions of it out there, since this is from v0.1 and is 1024x1024 (although more grimey lol)

[blissful pilot]

Yea we have the oldest known one

it looks a little different

whitewall.jpg has a more clearer version of texture used in older versions of CB, as seen on the cutting room floor page

But I was also able to find a deviantart post of the original texture that dates Jan 3, 2008

There's likely something older that was used to create that, but I figure this deviantart one was used to create the old CB one, which was updated to the current one

Now @sly badge I may have something for you to take a look at

This texture is used in the signs PSD, its used with the Hard Light blend setting

ends up looking like this for the signs, and parts of it are erased

[formal sierra]

https://www.flickr.com/photos/mslupton/12677869415/

[blissful pilot]

I'm like..... 70% sure, this could be what they used for the UI and the Logo, its really really close especially when blurred, but I haven't been able to make any matches or line it up

[formal sierra]

did a quick search and found this real fast

[blissful pilot]

This is the Logo

[blissful pilot]

i know, we already have it

This is how I'm blending the texture too

Also today is a sad day, I can't remember when or where, but I've noticed Regalis is pretty active these days, even in June of this year... the reason he hasn't gotten back to me or anyone else is because he... doesn't really care about SCP any longer, and has fully moved onto Barotruama, I knew he had, but this is the first time i've come to realize or find out that he doesn't even check in with the SCP community, message about SCP, respond to SCP, none of it

and I mean.. I can't blame him? i'm certainly not mad at him for it, but its still sad to me, I'd love for him to see the say of the RTX remaster and what has become of his creation, well.. obviously others too, but he was the catalyst to it all

[formal sierra]

im not sure i would care as much about SCP 12-13 years later either lol

i do wish he still kept up with CB/SCP related fan projects though 🫤

[blissful pilot]

It's always been interesting to me

most of "the greatest games of all time" died because of other reasons, corporate greed, radio silence, but this game just got quiet... but I don't think the community ever died

Half Life is my other favorite game of all time, and its very simular what happened with that, there was a period where Valve was radio silent for years but the community was still active

[blissful pilot]

I suppose I can realate though

people are still asking me to make backrooms content, and I stopped caring about that a while ago

[formal sierra]

inward3d can we have more backrooms content

[formal sierra]

i think i watched that video you made on how to make a backrooms-style thing lol

[blissful pilot]

Also @sly badge no Idea if you have this, but theres still a ton of textures left to be found in these too

they're pretty helpful, they're from Vain Brain, one of CB's old devs

[sly badge]

ive got it

[blissful pilot]

Theres still a lot of Doom 3 textures I've been too lazy to fish out of there

just making sure

I stumbled upon it while looking for something else

apperently photoshop has its own un-motion blur sharpen

its not much better than what you did for the paper texture tho

was worth trying tho

[formal sierra]

at least we know its confidential lmao

[sly badge]

there is also the text on this battery

[blissful pilot]

Interestingly I looked a little deeper into the paper texture, and I think possibly found a precursor to it, maybe

unless those bits were added in instead of removed not sure

Actually I didn't notice how close the one you found is to 4K

[formal sierra]

absolutely fucking incomprehensible

[blissful pilot]

maybe I don't have to do any more looking then, AI could possibly carry it and do the rest

[sly badge]

I tried remaking that one 096 image in blender. It doesn't have an upscaled texture on it though and it's not perfect. But if you want to adjust it or use it as a starting point I can send the blend file.

[formal sierra]

other than the color temp of the light being slightly warmer than the original, looks great :D

[sly badge]

It's not the original I used 096's model and posed it in blender.

oh I missread

I'm not very good with blender and this model is a little janky so I think it could probably be better.

was worth a try though

[formal sierra]

i personally think it looks good

a little bit off with the pose and light angle/temperature but it looks fine lol

[sly badge]

I think the shadows could be a little better and maybe some of the positioning yea. I'll just send this here because I got bored with it and I will probably never go back it it.

[formal sierra]

omg foot isn't touching ground

completely ruined immersion

[sly badge]

yea I have no idea if the original is like that but thats just what I did

[formal sierra]

ye i was just kidding lol

[blissful pilot]

Thats actually pretty damn accurate

[formal sierra]

looks good but i have a fuckin potato so Blender is off-limits

F12 is my greatest enemy

and Cycles too

[blissful pilot]

Once you're done send the .blend, make sure to pack the libraries with it tho,

I wanted to do the same with all other assets as well

[sly badge]

its right here

im a blender rookie so I have no idea about 90 percent of things id say

[blissful pilot]

like we were talking about this being the ingame model so I want to line up that too

[blissful pilot]

I'm a blender Vet so its no big deal

[sly badge]

I was thinking that but do we want upscaled textures first?

[blissful pilot]

yes, we'll have to source those models textures first

that being said, fo 096, its alright to do it now

because we'll likely remaster the model entirely for the remaster

so its more for archiving purposes

[sly badge]

096 will be a hard model to remaster

[blissful pilot]

MHM

but I have a few ideas for it

[sly badge]

alr

[blissful pilot]

106, 096, and the Guard are gonna be the hardest in the game

besides maybe 860 and 939

[sly badge]

I think we should make an alternate version of the game with the old models though cause I know some people will want that.

[blissful pilot]

106... I'm tempted to use the unity version and make modifcations

we got access to all the asset project files and such for them

since it got abandoned

[blissful pilot]

Yeah I've been thinking more and more on that

[formal sierra]

PLEASE DO

[sly badge]

those models are copyrighted though we cant use them I'm pretty sure

[formal sierra]

they aren't

licensed under CC BY-SA; the same license as CB

[sly badge]

I thought there was some loophole that the creator used to make it so nobody could use them

[blissful pilot]

for example, I'll have my 173 wiki accurate model enabled or disabled via a command "Izumi Kato" which I'll add to the game

[formal sierra]

i actually don't know what version but i don't really think it matters tbh

[sly badge]

thats why nobody ever remade it because they couldn't legally continue scp unity, I thought's that what happened.

[blissful pilot]

Even if that is true, one of the devs came by and dropped off the assets and said so

[formal sierra]

i think thats the project files

[sly badge]

oh ok

[formal sierra]

yup

zornor90 is a real piece of work

[blissful pilot]

It was mentioned here

hopefully I didn't ping him lol

Link

That's the google drive with the models

I don't really want to swap the models 1:1, but they can be very useful as a starting point to making our own

at least I think

when I say "Our" I don't mind making them too, I've been 3D modelling and such for over ten years, so I'm pretty good at it

[formal sierra]

alright gramps

I think this might be the original light1 (first image), it doesn't really look like it at first, but if you look at the light rays coming from the middle it looks like they follow he same direction and stuff.

[blissful pilot]

man if only Photoshop didn't take a million years to load up 🙃 🫠

[blissful pilot]

Great find tho

[sly badge]

i'm not entirely sure yet so I'll wait for you to verify it and I'll search for a higher resolution if it is it.

[blissful pilot]

Yeah I don't know why Photoshop is being the biggest PIMA

Had to restart my computer

This is an AI upscale of the paper, just pushes it a tiny bit futher so we can do 4K

seeing as some of these documents will be shown onscreen

[formal sierra]

whats the outline?

[blissful pilot]

good question, was wondering myself

its on some other documents in the game too

[formal sierra]

i wonder if they yoinked it from somewhere and this is some sort of watermark lol

[formal sierra]

its on all of the papers i think

i never noticed it tho lol

[sly badge]

I think who ever took the photo had more papers underneath, that might be what it is.

[blissful pilot]

Gosh Recreating these documents sucks so bad

its so tedious

this is what I got so far

The text is really really close to lining up, but it never quite does 1:1

there was a text setting that Vain Brain's PSDs had that couldn't be applied because of its age or missing assets im not sure, and I think that's what causes the vector version of the text to look off

but I'm trying to recreat it best I can using my own methods

[blissful pilot]

I'm pretty sure this document uses this paper image too, the one with the extra marks

[sly badge]

if you get a template, I could probably try and help with the scp documents

[blissful pilot]

Alright I got a systematic approach to how I line it up now, so I should be able to just copy and paste the settings for an easier time lining it up for the next paragraph

Lines up a lot better now, take a look

before I was trying to line it up with the deblurred one, which while more readable, is still more distorted, so comparing the text to the blurred original made it easier to get the general placement, I could probably do a smart blur filter too to perfectly line it up

[blissful pilot]

Just making it a note here, but v1.3 was the last version of CB to use the old papertexture.jpg for the documents

And v0.6.6 of CB was the last version to use the older style for the documents themselves

[formal sierra]

holy moly guacamole

where is this v6.6 i need to play it now

[blissful pilot]

Also another thing I noticed is that when they redesigned the document and made the switch, they flipped the paper texture too

the darker side of it use to be ontop prior to v0.6.7

Just like....The image I found earlier

so I might be onto something with that find

After trying to deblur this one for a bit

I don't think its text or actual words

with everything I've tried.. it looks more like keyboard smashing or something

I can't make out a single word lol but I can make out characters If I try

This is the original for comparision

unless its in another language, maybe Finnish lol

Huh..

I thought there was more text, but nope.. its the same paragraph, barely adjusted

so now its just adjusting it till it looks right

should be a lot easier

[blissful pilot]

I actually hate working with text in Photoshop so much

Like.. its nearly perfect, but they used some kind of specific config for their text wrap, and with my limited knowledge of text-wrapping in general.. its proving difficult to get right

the blur and opacity is on point though

[blissful pilot]

I can definitely say,

• EndingScreen
• Dirtymetal
  and
• Papertexture
  Are among the hardest for textures I've had the pleasure of remastering

[blissful pilot]

I officially give up

at least for tonight

this is so frustrating and tiring to work on, and trying to get right.. ugh

But

This is how close I got

As always, Black perfectly matches, white parts are what doesn't or what's off

And, if you want to try your own hand in trying to make it better line up, here is the PSD

I tried to organize it as best as I could, to have the blur effect the text unfortunately has to be contained in their own smart objects, and its difficult to line it up with that in factor; If you do try to make it, or make it better, be warned.. this will literally drive you to insanity.. working on this document has been nothing short of Virtual SCP-012

Edit: Added the logo which I missed

And assuming no one does try to edit it, I might just use that for archiving and remastering, because I don't think I can spend another second working on it myself, its literally insanity. 😅

But I'll let you guys decide that, it can always be updated in that case

but for now.. because I give up lol

Until further notice

you can get it free if you sign up I think

[blissful pilot]

What the hell

You’re amazing dude

I spent so long looking for that one

I already found the filing cabinets but could never find the binders

[sly badge]

usually you have to kind of rebuild the missing parts into what you think it looked like originally. It makes it easier for the search engines to identify it instead of getting confused and thinking its something else. That's how I was able to find things like the forest ground as well

its helps if you are looking for a texture and cant find it

I think you can get some of the original 1048 drawings here, for me I get a general error and idk what that is so I can't look at them. https://undertowgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4570

[sly badge]

I think I saw you guys discover this already maybe but just in case here is the cow bell, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cowbell-2.jpg#filelinks

there is a wikipedia about it for some reason

even an alternate angle https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Cowbell-1.jpg

[sly badge]

yup I was right about this, I think all of them should be here. Here is one as an example.

[blissful pilot]

Awesome as always

Pretty sure these are the rest

[blissful pilot]

Looks like Juan made this one

And Irontaco made the other ones

Pretty neat tidbit of history for the game

[blissful pilot]

These will be super duper crazy easy to upscale if need be with them just being black and white

Probably will be the easiest textures to remaster lmao

[sly badge]

yea

I think 1048's paper texture is moved around a little though

and the dimensions might be slightly different

[blissful pilot]

Yeah I noticed that a few months ago

I was actually able to line it up with other paper textures or something rather

I’ll have to check again, but it shouldn’t be too much of a hassle

[blissful pilot]

Alright I know this might seem unimportant, but hear me out

I reworked and finalized the PSD for pill and pillwhite, I know I had already done them, but I didn't have a clean non-destructive PSD for it, and there was some changes I wanted to make regarding bightness matching with the original and smoothing the mask:

I would say at this point, its perfect.. couldn't be better and I'm happy with it, here's the PSD

And here's the updated versions of INVpill and INVpillwhite

The other reason I wanted to redo it non-destructively, is the black background was baked in with the pill, non-destructive means we can have an alpha channel.. something I'm trying to keep in mind with other assets going forward

[formal sierra]

lmao

looks very very very very good

i like the *extra gloss you added

it looks more obvious than the old one

[blissful pilot]

Did we identify the other fonts used in miscsigns3?

I have the year of fairy cakes one used for pizza day, but I don't know the other two used there, as well as the poster ones

besides that I have the yellow sign and everything else

this is my recreation of the Pizza Day sign so far

Original:

[formal sierra]

for the posters, maybe a variant of CastIron?

[blissful pilot]

oh maybe actually

[formal sierra]

Condensed R maybe

from what i can see that one looks the most similar

i think it actually might be lol

the A especially looks very similar

[blissful pilot]

Shit, I guess I'll need the poster paper texture as well.. unless we already have it

I have a hunch to what it could be though

[formal sierra]

maybe that one concrete wall thing

also i think the grunge signs are Alumni Sans (heavy?)

the CAFETERIA text is in some sort of Courier font (probably Prime or New)

[blissful pilot]

Yeah that one we have in the PSDs from VB

[blissful pilot]

we also have those

Keep in mind I also already remastered miscsigns2

so all the assets needed that are in that we have

like the yellow sign :)

[formal sierra]

now i can smash my face against the signs and see every pixel

[formal sierra]

gawd damn

pixel perfect

[blissful pilot]

I was so depressed last night because after spending.. (not joking here) 9 hours on the papertexture. I thought I wouldn't have to do the old one because its not used anymore

Until I realized..... it is used 🫠

as a map texture

[formal sierra]

why not just replace the old version with the new?

i guess you'd have to import the .rmesh and allat tho lol

[blissful pilot]

For the remaster, yeah we could... but its more for archiving purposes

[formal sierra]

ohh

[blissful pilot]

So turns out this specific image comes from a 1955 photoshoot done for the film based off the book 'The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit' The highest resolution (in color) version is nearly 4K which the photograph was originally taken, It can be sourced down to this site that hosts it, however you have to submit a quote to get it, I did so saying my reasonings so hopefully it isn't as expensive and I hear back, because this would be an awesome thing to obtain and archive Link

with that in mind, its pretty low resolution otherwise, its better than the base game but only by a little bit.. I'm not sure if even AI could carry it here, hence why I submitted the quote

On another note... I'm starting to notice a lot of these come from iStock.. makes me wonder if I have to get a membership for that too 😭

iStock and Shutterstock are the two most common I see, and shutterstock I already got

its just so expensive though.. christ

[blissful pilot]

this one isn't too bad for resolution though, could probably use it as is, obtaining the higher resolution one would more be for archiving purposes only

[sly badge]

found AchvHarp and AchvMaynards vial image. And even better is I got it as a PSD. https://www.rawpixel.com/image/7592478/psd-illustrations-public-domain-blue

I already sent the psd so no need to sign in

just saving the link

[blissful pilot]

Holy cow thats awesome

I also found out that these two photos could possible be different pictures

Its subtle, but flipping between them if you look at his jacket tie area, it looks like he turns his body half an inch. its likely that they took multiple photos of the same photoshoot

besides that, I removed the water mark from the color version which is also higher resolution. incase we have to use it, or use it with AI

[sly badge]

nice

I got gasmask from Achv1499 and the gasmask for the 1499 loading screen. Not sure what the background is of. It's possible these have higher resolutions but I was having trouble finding any.

[blissful pilot]

By doing a mix between the two I think I actually got a better more crisp result

[blissful pilot]

I wonder what that background is then

I always assumed it was part of the photo but if its not... really makes me wonder

[sly badge]

I always thought it was grass but it looks like another metal texture

[blissful pilot]

These are the (if any) 1499 textures that could match it

But in all honesty, with comparing brightness and contrast settings... It truly reminds me of this

could be what it is, just altered

INVcard.jpg Remastered to 2K

Oh yeah @sly badge you seem to be really good at finding like.. clipart kind stuff

here's another challange

its not strictly CB related.. but it can help with an undiscovered mystery that is still unsolved to this day

Regalis's profile picture original image

I spent about a day and a half of casually looking, never found anything, it's possible it was originally a image that was turned into a sillouette. but if you want; the challange is there

in one version of his profile pictures, I think his discord or some other one from the past.. he hid a QR code, this QR code has been compared with past QR codes he hid in other things, and didn't match... so far this QR code has not been found out or read yet

This is it

Itzslain I think and I were working on painstakingly recreating it, but we eventually abandoned efforts on it here.. I personally just decided workin on the archive and this remaster was more important

just something neat

but yeah.. if you find that spider image, it could prove useful to that

Absolutely no obligation on finding it if you don't want to.. its not CB related directly so I couldn't really care if its found or not 😂

[formal sierra]

u guys are masochists 😭

[blissful pilot]

I mean... I wouldn't be too surprised.. Getting Over It is one of my favorite games of all time

no jokes

[formal sierra]

WHAT

kim ban this guy

[blissful pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/markiplier-markiplier-getting-over-it-getting-over-it-markiplier-rage-youtube-gif-24637132

I know 90 hours isn't crazy.. but keep in mind theres not like.. a ton of content in the game

but I've completed the game over 67 times to my memory

sometimes I play it to relax and kill time

If you've met me in person, you'd know I'm not really a person to get angry.. to my count i've been mad like twice in my life. and one of those times was regarding someone getting SA'd and the other was regarding abuse to someone I cared about.. so generally speaking.. I don't really feel anger or get mad.... like ever, its really bizarre

for games like getting over it, what it ends up happening.. is I end up preforming a lot better in the game because I don't feel as mad as others while playing it.. thus once I got pretty good at the game.. I actually ended up enjoying the experience, the quotes, and found it generally relaxing to play

and thats how that happened

Yeah its strange but Fear and anger are probably the two emotions I am just not in touch with at all lmao.. perhaps this makes me a more bipolar individual? i'm not sure; but that's the way I've always been

but kim does need to ban you because liking the experience of Getting Over It is bannable

[blissful pilot]

christ man...

You're really good at what you do then

[sly badge]

im as surprised as you are I didn't expect to find it.

[blissful pilot]

Also..

womp womp

[blissful pilot]

I tried for so long... I looked at countless photos of it, but none matched... I have no idea how I wasn't able to but.. I'm glad its found at least

yknow what then

I got a REAL challange

this one.. i've been able to recreate like 90% of it

but theres a single line I can't make out

but it requires some context..

[formal sierra]

oh no

get ready @sly badge

you're in for a ride

[blissful pilot]

Ok as I've mentioned before.. we found a clearer version 079's loading screen via Omniary on Undertow Forums, at one point me and couple other people attempted to find out what the screen is, we recgonized it was a Commodore 64 Boot screen but we weren't able to make out the text..

After lots of trial and error and comparing to other screens and such.. this was the best recreation I could come up with

[blissful pilot]

its highly possible the image used for the screen was not created but instead ripped off of online.. so there's likely a screenshot of a Commodore 64 Boot screen that would match this 1:1 but as of yet.. I and a couple others have yet to find it... like the Regalis thing, we abandoned efforts for the time being to focus on more important tasks

Anyhow thats the challange if you're up for it.. no pressure if you cannot solve it because I've always been ready to do something simular to the spreadsheets if we cannot possibly find out what it says

[formal sierra]

i already have the C64 *core on RetroArch so i wonder if thats a command of some sorts

[blissful pilot]

Also yea.. perfect match.. shit..... crazy

blows my mind, truly

[sly badge]

I think for the screen we just have to go off of context alone, there are so many commadore images like the one you sent it would take forever to look at all of them

I would try learning how they work or asking something who knows more about commadores what it could say

[formal sierra]

thats nifty

[sly badge]

you could also trial and error, type in the words, then lower their resolution and see if it matches

using whatever that program is

[formal sierra]

i could do that actually

[blissful pilot]

I tried that a little bit.. but I wasn't able to identify a line of code or anything that would end in IT or KIT and I looked at a ton

its one of those things where its clear to make out those last three letters too

[blissful pilot]

so sad I lost my two minutes of progress

[formal sierra]

what will you ever do without those two minutes of progress

btw if you wanna try seeing if you can match a command or something, heres the link to the app (go to bin --> x64sc/x64dtv)
https://sourceforge.net/projects/vice-emu/

im gonna see if i can match it but im kinda shit at these things so who knows

heres the root commands

[sly badge]

to me it looks like the last 2 words are THE KIT

[formal sierra]

well im gonna download the C64 source code and see if theres any matches for that

in which there was none lol

[sly badge]

it might just look like it says KIT it could say something else or be apart of a larger word

[formal sierra]

could be, if not matching for a word, theres 8 hits in just one part of the C64 kernel

theres a lottaaaa folders 😭

im only going for the ones with C64 tho, but it could also be in some of these other firmwares

[formal sierra]

theres 226 hits in all of them with the word "kit" somewhere, but nothing that seems to match

[sly badge]

maybe it says credit at the end.

[formal sierra]

do you think your unblur magic would do anything?

or is the quality too ass

[sly badge]

I don't have unblur magic

[formal sierra]

lies

[sly badge]

the ai I'm aware of that unblurs is not very good at unblurring

[formal sierra]

darn

actually

i think the first two characters might be a 3 and 0

those are for repeating commands, like if i did
30 print "fuck you c64"

it would ya know

print 30 times

also fun fact
