SCP: Containment Breach

[fading fractal]

there ya go

[sly badge]

pretty easy to find bathroom logos from miscsigns. Pretty sure this is it but it's possible they aren't because they all look so similar https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c6/c5/f5/c6c5f58aa2b6fced2e3dbc384b1eacf5.jpg

[formal sierra]

thank you kim

what would we do without you

[blissful pilot]

real ones will recognize this

[blissful pilot]

Christ.. miscsigns3 is gonna kill me

why were they so lazy with its creation 😭

[blissful pilot]

So.. I've tried reworking like 3 textures and kept running into roadblocks, but I'll start with this one.. it looks like this image been around since at least 2008, but I haven't been able to find a higher resolution version of it; because I own the mask, and it actually looks the same size, I'm tempted to do my own photoshoot just to recreate it for the remastered Icon

thats if we can't find a higher resolution version of it, But I looked everywhere I could

[blissful pilot]

Finally got at least two textures done today

this one feels so cursed to see in HD like this, but I made several checks.. its still accurate as can be to the original.. just higher resolution

the PSD you provided too has the graphic at 4000x4000 resolution, so I decided to keep that

AchvMaynard Remastered to 4K

Original:

AchvHarp Remastered to 4K

Original:

And of course;

The PSD for them

Even though the PSD is 4000x4000 though, I'm making it 2K for consistency to the other achievement Icons

at least for what's being archived and remastered

I mean.. if you have the PSD with it who cares right? I'm not sure anyone is desperately gonna need this in 4000x4000 lol

[formal sierra]

I NEED IT IN 8K

jk

looks good

[blissful pilot]

Um excuse me I require sneakicon.jpg in full 8K uncompressed 🤓

[formal sierra]

lmfao

but i do 🥺

how will i know if im sneaking if i cant zoom in and see every crisp pixel on the icon

[blissful pilot]

Why have you forsaken us John Photoshop!
WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS??

[formal sierra]

learn how to fix

[blissful pilot]

its funny too because I'm actually pretty sure one of the photoshop creators names is john

Yeah I was right.. John Knoll

[formal sierra]

maybe just don't use adobe

troll~2

[blissful pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/kiss-gif-2883752256548549053

[formal sierra]

switch all the psds over to Affinity so you start a revolution within the CB community and anyone who wants to use your assets needs to get Affinity first

trust

[blissful pilot]

Thats what Regalis did with B3D

Also, used my dreamstime membership to get full resolution of this:
4319 x 3114

[formal sierra]

fuck yeah

[blissful pilot]

Recreation so far

I know this isn't a match, but I'm pretty sure his avatar is somewhat inspired by Shodan from System Shock

simular idea at least

[blissful pilot]

Alright.. I have a conundrum

Regardless of what route we want to take.. Noise has to added to 079's face, now we have the option of having non-antialiased and having sharp clean pixels for noise, which looks aight but clashes with the rest of it,
we could have blurred antialiased noise which looks very eh.. but matches the photo a little bit better

Or.. we can do my own personal solution, since its an AI ingame, I figured.. why not upscale low resolution noise? it'll 100% look AI generated, but that's whats neat about the idea, its an AI generated look for an AI's face in a video game.. this is what that looks like

Here's a comparision between all three, lemme know what you think

When I invert it with a vignette .. so far this is what it looks like

[formal sierra]

i like both lol

[short fox]

I kinda like the idea of the AI use on this one

since like you said it fits its theme

[blissful pilot]

Alternatively, we could do it without noise

It looks so strange to look at

Actually I did a mix of the AI generated noise and the Non-antialiased noise and I think its the best one so far

I .... really ... truly don't know how I found tihs

I decided to take what I have so far, shrink it down to the original size of the photo and use a difference filter to try to get the lines

I wasn't expecting to see or recgonize anything but I noticed that besides the white lines on top and bottom theres these small gray lines in black areas as well as an area in the centre that looks like a short line in the middle.. and then it hit me..

I'm like.. 90% sure thats what they did, the lines match up perfectly as is, just gotta shift it to the left a little

OH my god.. I bet ya thats exactly what they did to make this

I barely made edits to get it in too, just placed this edited version of the same texture overtop with the alpha set to the vignette I had earlier and set the blending mode to 'Linear burn' and thats what It looked like

This probably means whatever the source for this texture is, will be needed for AIface

[blissful pilot]

unless we just choose to AI upscale it, it's one of those few textures that have been around since the game has, and it also goes right back to this

[formal sierra]

YOOOOO

i love you

platonically

[formal sierra]

its so crispy 😭

[blissful pilot]

I'll probably make it less crispy later on, I'm pretty sure they put a glow effect on the current version

[formal sierra]

i think you should upscale it though, @sly badge might be able to source the lines texture but I think it might be a bit difficult considering how similar each of those overlays look

[formal sierra]

nooo it looks good lol

[blissful pilot]

thats why the Pre v0.2.1 looks so noisy and crispy

[formal sierra]

i meant crispy as in it feels like wearing glasses for the first time

except

youre looking at 079s remastered face instead lol

[blissful pilot]

Like if I apply a glow effect onto the Pre v0.2.1 version (although very fastily done, not super accurate) it looks like this

[blissful pilot]

I can also always come back to it and edit it

like the 4 edits I made to INVpill lmao

[formal sierra]

what if those 4 edits saved the world

trust

i think an emission map would look really good

[blissful pilot]

For the sake of comparison too, here's my version with the glow effect slapped onto it

So it'll still be crispy somewhat if I do

I just found out that photoshop can make normal maps

not a bad job either, I'll have to see how it looks in 3D but it looks pretty good considering

it keeps the same resolution too, unlike other tools i've used like crazy bump

[formal sierra]

heres an example, i wonder if you could do something with the RTX lighting

like i mean maybe sync the audio to an emission maps intensity? 🤷‍♂️

idk how limited Remix is tho

[blissful pilot]

already did it lmao

did it awhile ago

and yes. its very much possible

[formal sierra]

FUCK YEAH

[blissful pilot]

Check this if you want to see it

Believe It was included in v0.0.6 of the mod, it was the most interesting thing in it beisdes Gate B

[formal sierra]

oh thats so fuckin awesome

im jealous you guys get to actually play it 😭

[blissful pilot]

"Play" it lmao

[formal sierra]

most beautiful cell door texture i've ever seen

[blissful pilot]

I mean.. I spend most of my time devloping it, and when I'm not.. sure I'm play testing what I've added.... 900 times to 1 for every feature I'm trying to add 😅

[formal sierra]

skyrim modding moment

[blissful pilot]

sometimes playing something like Wii sports or even SCPCB Multiplayer or UER is needed to take my mind off it

[blissful pilot]

oh way worse.. I feel like developing a mod for Blitz3D is probably the worst modding experience one can put themselves through

The only other Directx 7 game I can think of is Half Life 2, which was made in 2004

[formal sierra]

i meant as in downloading 700 mods and never playing the game but yeah i believe Blitz3D is the absolute worst lmao

for running on an ancient ass engine, CB runs pretty darn good. i mean they did a lot of optimization, but its still real impressive

[blissful pilot]

It’s the eight wonder of the world

[sly badge]

Found the origin of the control panel textures here
I don't see the monitors or keyboards in the images I found, but it's possible they were posted by the same person.
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/60299-reinchards-high-resolution-textures-and-sprites-demo-available/?page=18

and you know what's funny, i think these people were trying to make an upscaled version of doom.

so these textures are from doom

but then this guy upscaled them, and I think regalis used them, because the original doom textures are way too small.

[blissful pilot]

Yeah I mentioned that earlier lmao

I thought they were from Doom 3 though, although looking at it now… yeah it’s the OG Doom textures, just remastered

Kinda like what we’re doing

It’s probably not the weirdest thing to find in the game

But still good for archiving

[blissful pilot]

I know a .SVG exist for the SCP logo, but I made my own raster version of it to 8K used in Remastering textures that require the logo, its easier to use for a raster file rather than a vector one, its this one here

I just finished modifying it to the old version of the logo used in older/indev versions of CB, and this was my best recreation of that old logo, which by the way does not exist in a .SVG form like the other:

Monitortexture.jpg is the only texture I can think of that has it, but who knows, there may be more

[blissful pilot]

Finally separated this, but I might hit the hay for the night, will try to finish MonitorTexture and AIface tomorrow with it

Got the full resolution photo for ya

[sly badge]

so nice

[sly badge]

update on this, found it in 2k resolution here http://texturelib.com/texture/?path=/Textures/nature/bark/nature_bark_0014

and along with it a giant texture catalogue, so maybe some other textures could be here.

[sly badge]

I looked through it and did not notice anything familiar other than this tree texture, but you are welcome to try yourself.

[formal sierra]

the two bottom arrows are asymmetrical 😭

looks good tho

[formal sierra]

oooooooo

[oak dirge]

Great now I cant unsee that

Dont look at the bottom one too hard either

[formal sierra]

fuck you LMAO

i hadn't even noticed that one that was also the same

is the bottom right arrow sized down or something 😭

[oak dirge]

Look at the top arrow pointing up in second logo

[formal sierra]

im not sure if i really want to

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1211430823820001432/1290081347670638643/togif.gif

[blissful pilot]

Guys I can fix it lol

Also… I didn’t think I’d get this far

And I might need your guys’ help.. bullshitting details to get us more likely to obtain it

[formal sierra]

its too late

its burned into my retinas

[blissful pilot]

I submitted a quote request for this photo, they said it would cost $28 for standard issues but the bigger problem is that the person who owns the photo has specific asks for the photo usage, apparently it has to be used for non-commercial editorial purposes… at first I said that my project could fit under these needs and that it’s being used for archiving and documentation.. but then shifted the narrative to me and my team making a documentary/documentation archive about lost/dying media especially ones prior to the 1970 (trying to get us better chances if any) I didn’t think I’d get any more responses past that but…

This is where we’re at right now

So it might be best to make some crap up for it, but that’s what I might need your guys help for because I’m not super creative lol

All of this is to obtain this photo in high resolution

I wish I didn’t have to try so hard with this photo, but AI really did not help at all with the suit lol.. and because of its unique position of obtainably I don’t mind putting in more effort because I know I won’t have to for every photo. Just for this one

Plus.. it would be nice to archive the full photo

[formal sierra]

oh man im gonna have to bullshit a lot

but trust i got this

[blissful pilot]

The biggest thing is that it works, like I’d mention the biggest magazine publication or some shit although the next question will be talking to someone from there so

But otherwise… if it gets us the photo, I kinda don’t care what the bullshit story is 😂

Hol up

1955

[fading fractal]

if you purchase rights to use the photo under false pretenses, i'm pretty sure that's illegal

[blissful pilot]

Damn I thought

[blissful pilot]

We can also write something closer to the truth then, I should mention that technically everything I’ve said in my email responses wasn’t wrong

The most deceiving thing is that we’re trying to obtain media content from before 1970s but that’s also true

It’s just… not just the 1970s

Mostly what I said is that we’re archiving and documenting photos so they don’t become lost or dying media

[fading fractal]

okay. i just wanted you guys to be aware of the potential problems of doing that

def try to do this the right way

[blissful pilot]

Also under this, we’d get access to the photo in the public domain by ~2074 give or take, depending on who’s the photographer

Even that is probably far off, but just goes to show just how much copyright is broken lol

[formal sierra]

why not just be honest with them and explain what you're actually trying to do? the questions they're asking don't pertain to a game/archival of assets at all and as Kim said, it could potentially land you in some trouble if they care enough

Organization: fuck if i know

Author: Nick (whatever your last name is lol)
Title of Publication: fuck if i know
Publisher: Self published under [author name]
Publication date: Summer 2026
Publication formats: Online PDF file (portable document format just in case they're boomers)
Distribution production amount: Digital distribution; open-access
Image use location: Interior
Image size: i don't know to be honest, but since its in the loading screen its about 1/4 of the size 🤷‍♂️
Countries it will be distributed in: idk, any country with access to the internet
Distribution languages: EN (i don't believe CB offers localization support, only UER)

[blissful pilot]

Copyright on paper should focus like patents, to protect smaller individuals from having their works mindlessly be copied and stolen upon creation and still reap rewards.. but not too long for their copyright holders to make one thing and then rest on their laurels from a single copyrighted work.. this is because art and media in general is contemporary, it’s meant to change and be adapted, evolve over time… when it comes to how corporations use copyright though….

I believe Disney is largely the reason for these changes to copyright too

So instead of songs from The Beatles, we have access to songs like Humpty Dumpty and Old Mac Donald because that’s currently the kind of crap in the public domain stuff from the 1870s-1890s

[blissful pilot]

This is probably the best route though, being honest.. it’s still somewhat editorial, and I have a YouTube channel where I’m going to make a video about its origins at some point, besides that and the archive that’s all the original photo is being used, besides that, it’s being modified as a texture in a game which legally would fall under fair use

[formal sierra]

fair enough

[blissful pilot]

Alright, finally submitted my response

That took so long to write

And it’s sad to think of the possibility that it doesn’t happen lmao

[formal sierra]

WHAT THE FUCK

[formal sierra]

also damn how long was it lol

its literally 10,000 vertices how tf can it be using 16 GB

[blissful pilot]

it was fairly long

also.. finallyy

I made this better

as bst as it can be

[formal sierra]

oooooo

looks good

[blissful pilot]

So yeah Until/if we don't find any sources for this, then....

Monitortexture.jpg Remastered to 2K

Original:

And of course; PSD:

[formal sierra]

beautiful

[blissful pilot]

Ugh I already forgot something

hol up

[blissful pilot]

I forgot to add the original as a comparision in the PSD, but there was a few more things I wanted to do which I just forgot, like splitting up the assets, and fixing the brightness. it doesn't quite match the original

its subtle, but its there

There we go, much better

Monitortexture.jpg Remastered to 2K (hopefully for final lol)

Original:

PSD:

Now I get to move onto another texture

Aw man I forgot the offline text in the PSD tho 😭

ah whatever, I'll add it in once I work on SL_monitors_checkpoint.jpg

[formal sierra]

looks really good tho

[blissful pilot]

We're almost there guys

https://tenor.com/view/yes-fist-pump-nod-happy-teary-gif-5117200

[blissful pilot]

I feel less incentivized to buy this btw.. after all the efforts of asking and writing that insanely long paragraph of what I'm using it for I got so frustrated with thinking about modern copyright legislation that, part of me doesn't want to pay a dime in principle, ..like honestly, I know copyright can be a really good thing sometimes... but the level of outright image gatekeeping, what would they possibly have to gain by putting each and every individual who wants to purchase or use the photograph (taken in 1955 mind you) why would they put all these hoops to jump through? like... sure, maybe if someone is willing to waste all their time and efforts. sure, after all that, and sinking more money into publishing a magazine they can finally have this single image, and the company holding the rights can squander another $28.. it makes no sense to me. honestly.. truthfully.. most people.. like myself, after being asked for essentially a full autobiography of what the image is going to be used for.. decide we want nothing to do with it anymore, because its too much of a hassle. :)

Also.. its because I was able to get a higher resolution one

2048x3073

This is how well it matches the loading screen at 2K, its a little smaller, so not perfect. but it works well I think.. its also B&W, but I don't care, thats an easy fix or something that I can easily alter

[formal sierra]

LMAO

[blissful pilot]

Awesome

now I just gotta do the head

[blissful pilot]

Finally.

I know this took a bit but I think its perfect

cwm.jpg Remastered to 2K

Original:

Of course, PSD:

Comparison too

This has been one of the coolest texture I've had the pleasure of remastering, with adjusting the contrast and such for everything else to match the original, there's certain details that natively show up in the Remaster that wouldn't be seen in a smaller resolution one, like this glow in his eyes

and it perfectly reflects 990 too, so I kept it

Here's 990 without the shadows too if you wanted to see more of him

[formal sierra]

wizardry

so much magic it crashed my photoshop when i tried opening the PSD 😔

[formal sierra]

i guess my potato had something to do with this *as well lmao

[blissful pilot]

hey it does that here too

its likely an adobe dogshit software issue

[formal sierra]

also gotta say

this looks great :D

oh u sent it here too lol

[blissful pilot]

Yep.. occationally if I find a remaster really really cool. I share it to Undertow

But I always share it here first of course

[formal sierra]

theres almost no activity on the SCP-related channels in the Undertow discord server and i can't lie i get a little excited when theres something cool that pops up in there lol

[blissful pilot]

that's what I'm trying to change 🤞

if enough SCP fans go there and see a bunch of cool crap and content they never seen before.. hopefully.. they'd come back

the biggest problem is that SCP:CB became such an second thought once Barotrauma became big

so Undertow's discord has become more popular for that than SCP

Its still one of my favorite places to post stuff though

that and TSS

[formal sierra]

TSS always has some gold

[blissful pilot]

some of them, like TSS is just TOO busy. its hard to keep up with

[formal sierra]

its like treasure hunting when you go in the showcase channel lmao

[blissful pilot]

thats one of the reasons I like UER too

[blissful pilot]

i totally concur to this

[formal sierra]

thats mainly where i share my work cause you actually get feedback instead of just glaze

like thank you for saying it looks good but idk if you're being genuine or just being nice 🥺

[formal sierra]

UER probably has the most active server tbh

[blissful pilot]

So I basically worked overnight on this, its not perfect, and I don't think it'll really ever be perfect, 1:1.. there's always something more to add to it or tweak it, and the only real way to compare it is to compress it down with sampling to 256x256 and compare with the original.. and with all that in mind.. I think its about as close as I can get it. I may come back to it, but for now; I'm actually pretty satisfied with the Recreation. and willing to use it as is,

AIface.jpg Remastered to 2K

Original:

And of course, the PSD:

Here's a comparison of it when its shrinked down to 256x256 with the original. as said before, not exact.. it may never be, but pretty darn close considering

With that, I'm gonna try to get some semblance of sleep lmao

[formal sierra]

I LOVE YOU

https://tenor.com/view/kiss-gif-11816971814746635421

[formal sierra]

i got both of them mixed up lol, i think you did good

[blissful pilot]

I wanted to show this yesterday too, but I was too exhausted, but because its a PSD with layers for each thing non-destructive, you can replace the face to whatever you want, There's a lot of acrobatics involved, its not a simply drag and drop you gotta mask the light and dark sections, but its possible and works as you'd expect other wise

proof of concept

[formal sierra]

Beautiful lol

[blissful pilot]

Alright, I've been avoiding this one for a while because of its dependency on AI to its creation, If you remember I attempted this earlier, but I wasn't happy with the result. I tried again for the last couple of hours using various methods, including AI, and this is what I was able to get, while it is theoretically possible to go 4K, it really doesn't look great, and often times looks TOO AI, so I'm making it 2K, its a little sad, but it'll work for the remaster.. here's a comparison of the Original, my old AI version, and my current attempt.

With that in mind

Until further notice, or until we find a better image source

white.jpg (PRE v0.2) Remastered to 2K

Original:

And of course

white.jpg (Post v0.2/Current) Remastered to 2K

Original:

[blissful pilot]

Yeah... I posted it to Leadwerks, they didn't say much, Josh gave it a thumbs up and suggested I share it with more people, I really get the impression that even though they use the software or used the software that holds this texture, they have no idea where it comes from.

I know Josh said they "created it" but I think they misunderstood my question and were talking about 3DWS, I think its bullshit that they did, because otherwise.. their reactions wouldn't be like they had no idea.

as I've said before too, I get the impression from Josh that he just straight up gives no fucks lol

he probably cares about 3DWS and the old textures in it about as much as Regalis cares about SCP:CB

Hey @sly badge not sure when you'll be active again, but I got another thing you can try finding if you want, Its the decals in the triangle for the brain used in the labels, if we find those, I should be able to get started on the labels too. although I can't remember if we found the grunge texture for them.. I think we did, if we didn't I have a better version of that from the PSDs

Yeah this one

I'm not sure if we found a higher resolution of it, I'm have to take a look

I'm pretty sure all our findings are like 200GB rn so its a bit to go through lol

[formal sierra]

those are really hard to find

im sure he can find them but i did a bit of digging when i was doing these (attachment) and couldn't find nothing on those sprites used so i just remade everything

[blissful pilot]

The brain will be the hardest

the other ones though... im pretty sure they come from the wiki

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/warning-labels

some of them, not the brain though

[formal sierra]

https://www.flickr.com/photos/87547772@N00/albums/72157594323393196/with/264116792

i mean i found these as well, some are used in the labels but ones with the brain sprite i didn't see in there

[blissful pilot]

Love the T-pose one

[formal sierra]

i like this one the most lol
https://www.flickr.com/photos/arenamontanus/264112998/in/album-72157594323393196

i lied

Uh this might actually be it

https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSHjMemzaaWZoQGvp_ij1WqDMETnfSnkBrhsjeubXW3WlK_wjLO

Idk what do you think?

I honestly have no idea how much brain wrinkle structure changes or differs from brain to brain but

There's several memes in other languages that look to use the actual photo

https://gigi.click/picture/gde-vzat-instrukciu-po-primeneniu-MTg5MTA5NQ

gonna do some more looking though

[formal sierra]

god i dont know lol

the more i look at it the more i think its the actual one but at the same time the shape is a bit different in some areas

[blissful pilot]

http://www3.allaroundphilly.com/blogs/trentonian/weird/uploaded_images/brain4-746462.jpg

it looks like 560 x 360 is the biggest we're gonna get

not like we need one very large anyhow

the photo is older than 2008 so who knows honestly

2001-2007 is a blackhole when it comes to the interweb

[formal sierra]

yup, and basic upscaling looks like complete shitballs with a bunch of noise lol

by the way, i wouldn't mind making a couple of labels once you make a template

actually it doesn't look too bad, but if you don't need any extra resolution it would probably be better not to use AI

[blissful pilot]

We probably won't need it, but you should see what mine can do

Infact, mine just finished this one

[formal sierra]

what on earth is that lol

[blissful pilot]

Speaking of which, I thought I had the largest scan of this, but I found a bigger and more accurate scan of the real one, this one has more realistic coloring to the paper which I intend to keep into the remaster.

When @formal sierra realizes

https://tenor.com/view/ww2-traumatized-scared-gif-16660640303472289124

AI Upscaling didn't do a bad job either, just made the paper texture better overall

[formal sierra]

i still dont realize nothing 😭

[formal sierra]

this is for 1123 right

the skull fucker

[blissful pilot]

Ye, its the nazileaflet

wow, never thought "Ye" and "N**I" would be put into a sentence without refering [...] yknow. witithout meaning that

my guy actually needs professional help 😭

[blissful pilot]

Me or Kanye?

I mean we both probably do, but not for the same reasons lmao

[formal sierra]

the fact you'd consider yourself to be a possible candidate for professional help lmao

Kanye

oh nevermind he deleted all his tweets so any of his silly little mishaps have been erased

[blissful pilot]

nah it still happened though

thank god for the internet eh?

Well I suppose God had no part in its creation but

[formal sierra]

yeah i was just kiddin lol

like "oh, if i delete all my tweets no one will ever know i said any of that :)"

[sly badge]

sorry, would have helped but I was doing a 4th of july thing because I'm American

[formal sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/america-american-meme-meme-gif-5941183226857642747

[blissful pilot]

Nah you good 👍

You could’ve said you were going hiking and it’s a legitimate reason not to work on any of this, it’s all completely voluntary

That being said, I gotta ask yall
One more time

Because I’m gonna start pivoting towards setting stuff up for it

Is there anyone on this channel who wants to be included into the contest if (or more so when) I put our mod/remaster on it?

Is so please let me know asap, and then we can discuss it

There’s a few people here who put a ton of work towards this and I think totally deserve the recognition or rewards (if we won a placement) so just let me know if you think you should be/want to be included into that

@stark lotus @oak dirge @formal sierra @sly badge I’m pinging the people who I’ve personally considered to be the biggest help to me throughout this project, that being said, if I didn’t ping you that doesn’t mean I cannot include you, just let me know.

I wish there was better way to get people’s attention to ask, but regardless.. I wanted to put this out here in some way

Because if I want to enter the mod in, I probably gotta finalize and do it soon I reckon

You can also let me know if you don’t want to be included or aren’t interested in the contest; it helps more than you’d think

[formal sierra]

$10,000 dabloons is fucking crazy 😭

ngl I think you've done practically all the remastering work

sure I've helped sometimes but nothing really all that important lol

also, I wonder if the remaster is ready for a trailer yet

im not really sure what the criteria is for putting your game in the competition tbh

[blissful pilot]

That's what I'll go through when I do so, I don't think it needs a trailer so we should be aight there

[blissful pilot]

So I knew I wouldn't get too too much done because I work my day-job this weekend, but here's what I've done so far

https://art.eonworks.com/gallery/texture/metal_sci-fi_texture-200507.html

this metal texture is from this artist, Dawid Michalczyk. The highest resolution it was made was 1000x1000 unfortunately, it was made in like 2009 so I'm not overly surprised, but for me it was confirmation to go ahead and use AI, because this is one of the bigger textures used in the game, for office wall.

and it actually did a pretty good job considering, so here's that texture in 4K resolution AI Upscaled

So now I just gotta put that texture together, I gotta find where we put the source of the other texture used in the office wall though

[formal sierra]

ooo

[sly badge]

what is the contest?

[blissful pilot]

This one

I've decided I wanna try to enter this RTX mod in, but I need to know who wants to be included into that, that way I can plan around it

[sly badge]

that would be so sick, I'd love to be included.

[blissful pilot]

So, so far I have Jimmy and I, if anyone else wants in lemme know I'm gonna prep for the mod to be entered within the next week @stark lotus @formal sierra @oak dirge

[oak dirge]

I'll pass. Haven't had the drive to work on this more with the scope its gotten to, plus all the bugs I've had with toolkit were a big turn off.

[blissful pilot]

In other news, I just finished AI upscaling and making my own modifications to two original scans of the 'Nicht euer Kind' Leaflet, so now I just gotta put these together into a PSD and Remaster the texture, I want to make two versions, one that is 1:1 with how it is in game and uses the same copy/scan they used AI upscaled, and a newer version which is more torn up, different colored paper, (Not black and white altered) and overall higher resolution, that's why there's two different versions/scans of the same leaflet I chosen

[formal sierra]

meh, i haven't really done too much for the project, just a ton of yapping lol. thank you for the offer, but im good :)

[blissful pilot]

No worries, and I appreciate just letting me know so I don't feel guilty for not putting your name in, I still appreciate the advice, recommendations or even just reactions I get from the work I do, all of believe it or not is very helpful in keeping me going with the project

[blissful pilot]

Ditto, to what I said to Kuro, but also.. do you know how many people message me about your efforts? lol

[formal sierra]

Capyblep

no lol

[blissful pilot]

the amount of times people have said "I hate to break it to ya, but someone else is working on Remastering SCP:CB" and I've looked at who they're talking about and I've just been like "oh thats just @formal sierra, he's helping me source the SFX for the RTX remaster as well"

I've lost count but theres been more than just a few

you've done tons to help

[formal sierra]

thank you lol, also hope it doesn't steal attention from your remaster, mine is more of a showcase anyways

[blissful pilot]

So it's mainly just @stark lotus I'm hoping to hear back from then

@stark lotus really helped a lot in the beginning, I can't really speak for others who were here from the very very beginning, because I wasn't here for it, but Jevediah was here during that, and even after when I joined, and he's done a ton back then, enough that I'd say he's entitled to be included if he so chooses to, just lemme know (if you get this Jevediah) or let me know if you aren't interested. -again, it helps

[formal sierra]

oh and by the way, if you need any help with writing some of the stuff for the competition id be happy to do it :)

actually im not sure how much you have to write but the posts I looked at had a ton of stuff lol

[blissful pilot]

Yeah I'm more dreading trying to pick out cool things to show

so if any CB has good ideas lemme know

or lemme know what's the coolest thing you've seen added to the RTX mod so far

that being said I can add more if necessary

[formal sierra]

RTX.. duh

best thing added ever

[blissful pilot]

I think addid Kuro's lights to the testroom would be a good idea to show off the lighting

but I also wanna do 294

I think the screen being emissive would be pretty dope

that, or 079

[formal sierra]

maybe 035 and all your remastered assets would be cool to show

[sly badge]

I think the coolest thing about this are the sourced/archived and upscaled textures. I think it should be one of the main focuses for it at the very least, even if it's not exactly RTX related it's still very much apart of the game and also since so much time and effort is being put into it as well.

Showing off more unique rooms you don't see everyday like the 860 or 1499 dimensions would help, although maybe something easier like gate A/B surface, maintenance tunnels, 049's room, or the nuke room could look nice.

[sly badge]

I found grit3 in 2k

dont know what the extra grunge texture is though

grit1 looks like it uses the same texture as the launcher, but I'm not sure if we have found that yet or not, this is the best image of it that I have. It's flipped and the scale is a little different but it is definitely it.

[formal sierra]

cool

if you haven't already @sly badge , you should probably start compiling all the sources for these textures in like a Markdown file or somethin

[sly badge]

im just sending my other account the links

also the links that I find are here too

you could just search for messages sent by me and set it to image or links only

[formal sierra]

alr nice :)

whoops i forgot to turn off ping mb

[sly badge]

you're all good

[fading fractal]

you guys should probably make a dedicated server for this project to make keeping track of stuff easier

[blissful pilot]

I have backups which works well

[blissful pilot]

I don’t really know how I would do this, I’m not opposed to it, but I’ve tried creating a discord server years ago, and had trouble back then, I imagine the process has only gotten more complex, and generally I think it would be a huge time sink

If there was a way to, and have it moderated if needed, I’m all for it though

[fading fractal]

i wouldn't mind helping you get it set up

make the server, give me admin perms, i'll make the channel structure and stuff

you can remove the permissions after if you want

it'd just be a private server for you and other team members to document stuff. that way it doesn't get lost

don't have to worry about moderation

[formal sierra]

kim has never used discord before ever

trust im pro 😎

[blissful pilot]

Sure I’m down if you’re down, I’ll be busy for the next day or so, but if you wanted to start on it go ahead. I like the idea for documentation and archiving

My follow up question though is, what would be discussed or put here?

Or would the discord strictly
Be for documentation? Like we repost there?

[formal sierra]

kim you better make this the logo for the server

troll~2

[formal sierra]

i think that would be best

more of an archive server instead of something dedicated to the remaster

[blissful pilot]

I can come up with something lmao

[formal sierra]

its in all its 4K glory 🥺

[blissful pilot]

I agree, just because I like that anyone can join to help or see the progress without disrupting it because it’s still moderated here

It’s how we got most of our team members like Jimmy

[formal sierra]

yup

and theres already a lot of history in this post lol

[blissful pilot]

I had a DM open for documentation too, so I can easily add what we’ve found from there to the server

But whatever Kim thinks is best

[formal sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/ba-sing-se-gif-20976912

[blissful pilot]

As I said creating discord servers seems like such a daunting task to me 🫣

[formal sierra]

whatever kim thinks is best

[formal sierra]

its not all that bad lol

and considering we'll probably just forward messages to that server, its not like it needs to be that fancy

[blissful pilot]

Ooooh

I didn’t even think of that

So we might not need to repost

[formal sierra]

for some you might.. it might be something with my client but large attachments sometimes don't let u forward lol

[blissful pilot]

I can figure that out too

I don’t mind sifting through what we already have, it wouldn’t be too too bad to do

[fading fractal]

up to you. imo use the server to store information related to the project, but do most discussion in this channel

make the server and make a role with admin permissions, invite me, and give the role

i'll do the rest

[formal sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/ba-sing-se-gif-20976912

whatever kim thinks is best

[blissful pilot]

I like this idea

I’ll get started on that when I can

[blissful pilot]

I gotta tell ya guys I’m really starting to hate the world we live in

This was a monthly subscription btw

Not a annual one

But apparently it doesn’t matter one bit 🤡

I didn’t even know I had it until I was charged for it today without even using it

https://tenor.com/view/money-wallet-snatch-gif-11697366

[formal sierra]

how is this shit legal 😭

[blissful pilot]

I think it’s because people let companies get away with this crap, it use to be that if enough people stood up and shared their complaints a company would be forced to treat their customers a little better

But people are all to content just mindlessly “consuming” and have been for so long that companies get away with it. It becomes normalcy, the amount of people I hear say whenever I complain about subscriptions is “every company does it, it’s just how it is 🤷‍♀️” and I always say “it’s wasn’t always that way.”

Christ you have no idea how much this makes my skin crawl

I’m gonna contact Adobe tomorrow, and depending on what they do/say I’m either not going to have any Adobe subscriptions by tomorrow, or be calling my bank right after

[formal sierra]

man dont we all just love the fact that we dont actually own anything

i really hope the Stop Killing Games movement is successful

[formal sierra]

Affinity perchance 🥺

[blissful pilot]

I gotta read what that’s about

[formal sierra]

theres an 100 day free trial for their entire suite lol

[formal sierra]

in summary, its basically a movement that focuses on keeping multiplayer games available via LAN or community servers, even after the publisher finds the game to no longer be profitable

theres a lot more to it but thats basically the gist of it

it also would require publishers to be much more clear on what you're actually purchasing, whether it be a license to access the game, or ya know.. the actual fucking game 😭

[stark lotus]

Sorry for the late response, I was at a friends house last night and didn't read the pings until just moments ago. I don't think I can participate because I'm still a minor ):

also I know i don't type in here often, but I do read through occasionally, the work all yall are doing is so awesome

[blissful pilot]

Huh, could've fooled me haha

I guess that makes things pretty simple then, me and @sly badge unless anyone mentions otherwise

I'll be submitting it within the next week or so when i do, I just gotta put whatever we're showing together first

I'm re-reading the requirements
> Submitted mods must have a ModDB page, but can be downloadable elsewhere.
I have a lot of work ahead of me the coming week 😂 😭

At least we'll properly get a page for the mod tho

> Submitted mods do not need to adhere to the original vision of the game.
this is a crime agains't humanity >:(

Yeah next two weeks are gonna be a blast

but at least it'll put our mod in a position of actually being a showcase

[blissful pilot]

Might as well post this terrible edit here too, it took too long to make

Haters will say its fake

[sly badge]

Oh man I didn't read the rules, I'm 17 so I can't participate either. Really unfortunate because I turn 18 just a few weeks after the contest is over, I think you might be on your own for this.

[rancid timber]

That is'nt legal in some countries, certainly not in the EU

[formal sierra]

so real 😱😱😱😱

[formal sierra]

oh if that's a rule I wouldn't have been able to participate either lol

[blissful pilot]

Ah, well it’s if the mod wins anyhow, if it makes y’all feel better I plan to put whatever I end up getting (if our mod won) directly back into funding the mod, most of it anyhow. Any bit I don’t would go to basic necessities to also allow me to put more time and efforts towards it, especially because it’s all CC-BY-SA, when there’s stuff that costs money for development, so far it’s been outta pocket,

Again, that’s if we ended up winning, taking a look last night there’s some other pretty nifty mods

I more wanna enter it to get it out there for people

But it’s good to know

[fading fractal]

to be clear it takes like 5 mins at most to do the necessary steps

(no rush though)

[blissful pilot]

I know, its just I haven't been at my computer at all lol

I work my day job on the weekends and then work on the remaster during the week

most of the time anyhow

Oooh @fading fractal I got a question tho, are tags an easy thing to do for this documentation discord we're cooking up? if so, and if members from this discord are the only ones invited then we could adopt tags if we wanted

its an idea, if its possible, tags are new so i'm not really sure how they work or are setup

[fading fractal]

tags meaning what exactly?

you could definitely make a forum channel (like this projects channel) and make a bunch of tags to assign to each thing. makes it easy to search

[blissful pilot]

next to my name theres "UERM" its from another server

[fading fractal]

ohhh. yeah you could do that but it reequires the server being a community server iirc, being above a certain member threshold, and 3 boosts

so only if the project really takes off

[blissful pilot]

ahhh then probably not any time soon if we did

[blissful pilot]

very hit or miss given SCP lmaoo

[blissful pilot]

These are two logos/Icons I made or was playing around with for the potential discord server

I remade the RTX Remix's "R" using the two main typefaces used in SCP:CB basically

lemme know what you think as always

Also as much as I like @formal sierra 's idea of using the Nvidia logo blended into the SCP:CB logo.....

:(

[formal sierra]

BRUH

how could john nvidia do this

[formal sierra]

i think the excess one looks the best :)

[blissful pilot]

its notjust nvidea, i"ve seen other companies do it

[formal sierra]

maybe make the border of the CB icon also green though

[blissful pilot]

the worst i've seen is patreon

[formal sierra]

it makes no sense to me; like i think pretty much everyone knows what the official logo for these companies actually looks like lmao

"ah yes, i do quite remember the nvidia logo being seperated from the square element AND having no text 🤓"

also not gonna lie they shoulda stuck with these versions of the logo

[blissful pilot]

This is what I ended up coming up with

Besides that, I've been working on something else, like the metal texture from earlier, because this came from an artist, and it doesn't look like there's a source to be found for the concrete, I used the highest resolution, oldest version we have and AI Upscaled that, and will continue to use that to remaster the wall texture

Original:

I'm working on trying to finalize, remaster and put these textures into the mod, PBR and all, because these are the most commonly seen

most of which should be pretty easy to do now that we have the sources

some of which already have been remastered and just need PBR too

this will make the mod feel a lot closer to ✨Complete ✨ with minimal efforts

[formal sierra]

fuckin beautiful work

[formal sierra]

if you want i could set it up

actually kim might be better

[fading fractal]

i'm here

[formal sierra]

ye lol

[blissful pilot]

Yeah I’ll see if I can invite Kim and then set up admin permissions

Literally rn, it’s a brand new server, only changed the icon and that’s about it

[blissful pilot]

man, its been a while since I just.. passed out

[short fox]

please take care of your health the mod can wait until your better

[formal sierra]

im not sure if you mean this literally, but either way.. please make sure you're well since as @short fox said, theres no rush :)

[blissful pilot]

yeah I have no idea what's been going on, I just got up from a 15 hour nap lol

[fading fractal]

holy shit dude lol

[blissful pilot]

Im here now tho

[fading fractal]

i'm all ready to do the server thing when you are. just make a new role in server settings, give it admin permissions, and i'll do the rest from there

[blissful pilot]

Yea I'll do that now

[formal sierra]

gawd damn

[blissful pilot]

There ya go @fading fractal

should be good to go

I just created a role and enabled all permissions including administrator for said role, then added you to it

[blissful pilot]

Sent ya'll invites to the SCP:CB RTX Remaster discord Kim cooked up

I'lll assign team member roles once ya'll join, I think for now itll be mostly for archival purposes, but it can help with organizing the workload and stuff later on

[blissful pilot]

Speaking of which, @fading fractal if I were to put the mod on ModDB for the contest... that can be updated right?

because the mod would be very incomplete doing so, and I'd like to update the mod going on

never used modDB so 🫠

[fading fractal]

i really don't know anything about moddb

but from my understanding it's a normal mod listing, just tagged as taking part in the competition. and normal mod listings can be updated

so i imagine it'd be fine

[blissful pilot]

Okie doke, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it

my head is pounding lol 😅

no idea what's going on with me, I have a hunch as to why tho

[blissful pilot]

@sly badge but you mentioned it, did you find a source?

I got something for ya if you didn't

something Itzslain noticed that could help us with potentially sourcing it if we wanted to

[sly badge]

sourcing what

[blissful pilot]

in the "rays" that surround 079'

they're flipped

the ones on the right match the ones on the left, just flipped vertically and horizontally

meaning it may be an image that they manually flipped and altered,

not much to go off of, but its something we didn't know prior

Actually..

I might be able to use this to our advantage to reveal more of the image

[sly badge]

it's a pretty pixelated image tbh, would it be possible to just scale it up to 2k so that it doesn't appear as blurry in game?

like just changing the resolution to be larger

or does that cause it to lose detail or something

Im saying this because whatever the background it, it's possible it's just been so heavily edited I'm not sure if it would be possible to find the original of whatever it was

like it could be from a normal image thats just been really edited to look like that

[blissful pilot]

it is heavily edited yea

this is how much I was able to recover, because it's flipped we're actually able to see more of the bottom

I imagine the image is something like this, and then just flipped over to the other side

HAAHAA

I found it.

[sly badge]

really?

thats amazing

[blissful pilot]

https://rhizome.org/editorial/2011/may/10/fach-asendorf-gallery/

Fucking awesome

[sly badge]

wow actually incredible I didn't think we would ever find this image

[blissful pilot]

so ultimately... 106's and white.jpg are the ONLY two that we have yet to find that is like .. as you said seemingly impossible

this makes me so happy, I'm gonna edit the PSD

[sly badge]

oh and this is how it was made https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=eIcS-38k7YY

[blissful pilot]

huh.. does that mean we can recreate it at a higher resolution? or is resolution dependent to its effect?

[sly badge]

I think this is a higher resolution from the link on the video https://emilio.jp/ladyglitch/image/lg2.png

https://emilio.jp/ladyglitch/

[blissful pilot]

should be usable

[sly badge]

here is the image just so it appears on discord

[blissful pilot]

Ye I got it

Cropped too

now I gotta figure out how to put it into the PSD

oh wait, this one is a little different

So without the noise, here it is

OOOOH

wait, so now that we have the face and the background

I could probably extract the exact noise values used

and then do the same thing we were doing with AI upscaling it

because then it would be a 1:1 Remaster

[sly badge]

it's kind of low resolution though, I feel like the ai would smooth out the pixels a little too much.

[formal sierra]

god what a cool effect

their channel is so weird lol

[blissful pilot]

the glitch image? or the noise?

[sly badge]

the glitch image

[blissful pilot]

the AI look to the noise when low quality noise is upscaled is actually what we were trying to achieve

as for the glitch photo...
you underestimate my AI software lol, it can definitely work well, however I'm more tempted to recreate it using the same methods they did, if I can

[sly badge]

they are still active today, we could ask if they still have the original image

[blissful pilot]

shit....

might not be able to recreate it

it looks like it uses MacOS's unique older resizing features

I think I've read about them at some point

its ringing a bell

They have some really really unique art though

https://objkt.com/@emilio

I actually really like the look of it

[sly badge]

they also have a discord you could ask them there.

cause sometimes just asking can be way easier.

[formal sierra]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT_SJuAC-MY

ctrl tab torus

truely a modern masterpiece

[blissful pilot]

Found the original photo tho

Its a cropped version of this

[formal sierra]

SCP 079'S GIRLFRIEND

holy moly

[blissful pilot]

I find it extremely funny though, that the face is of a statue of a woman, or female, and the background is made from a photo of a woman too, Lady Gaga, basically all of 079 is female

except the voice

[sly badge]

thats the wrong image though right?

[formal sierra]

in a way Lady Gaga made CB lmao

[sly badge]

it's the image after that one that 079 uses

still lady gaga though

[blissful pilot]

You were right I was just in time out

and its something like this lined up

So basically, to recreate it, I gotta figure out how to make it to this

Then it should be smooth sailing from there

so I gotta figure out what effect he did to make it like that

it looks like some kind of quantization/posterization but I can't really pin point what

I might tackle it later, for now I'll get back to the discord

still exciting to find

Damn, it might be a different still frame from the video too. mine doesn't line up

anyhow, basically, still more work to be done

The song that uses that^ is called Born this Way, from Lady Gaga, I got the highest quality version of the music video I could find on YouTube, but if anyone finds a higher resoltion or better quality take of that shot lemme know

The earliest message on this discord relating to source images for textures I could find on this discord was from 9/20/2024 from @stark lotus was the misc lights

Besides that, the earliest I could find texture sourcing by me, and when texture sourcing really started to kick off was here in 3/29/2025

That’s at least the earliest that I could find, I’m gonna be referring back and looking back to those multiple times to redocument and archive the findings so if there’s an earlier one I missed lemme know

I know Jevediah also found the ones from pk02 or Philip something, but I couldn’t find an earlier mention than what’s above

Prior to sourcing textures here, I actually started my journey with 895 pics

Yes, believe it or not, the first texture image I found was pic3 of the 895 pics; that Poor thing. :(

That was the first texture I’ve ever sourced for this game

If you don’t count objects

Fundamentally enough though, I’ve source SFX years ago

[formal sierra]

what 😭

[blissful pilot]

https://youtu.be/Q8hBAdK5J7M?si=nbMyIoYDwc6bpqBs&t=407

yea check this out

Oh speaking of which

found something neat

in v0.3 of CB, there's a version of the femur breaker SFX without the screaming

I found that out the other day

but forgot to put it here

will make remastering or recreating it a lot easier

[formal sierra]

YOU LIED

its not in every intro

[blissful pilot]

I know.. lol

I wish I kept it though

I lost the sound at some point :/

[formal sierra]

hey nothing stopping you from remaking it lol

[blissful pilot]

check it out

first one is up

thats the formatting I came up with

I was able to remove the embeded preview boxes too, so it should look a lot cleaner

I think this will work, it has room for everything I can think of.. even trivia which isn't necessary but I think would be nice to have

gonna do one for SFX to see if the formatting would differ much there

[formal sierra]

cool

maybe go with Kim's idea of posts instead though. it has a search function and everything

[blissful pilot]

I'll take a look at it,

this method also works because by searching specifically in that channel with the texture name, you should be able to find any texture you're looking for

But I'll see if post work better for consistency

[formal sierra]

personally id like it better

since it also gives you a clear preview of the texture (if you attach it in your primary message)

[blissful pilot]

is it thread?

or something else

I'm having trouble finding what it is or how to create one

discussions?

[sly badge]

thread

[formal sierra]

ye

[fading fractal]

i don't mind making it

just ping me for whatever

i'll show you how to do it too

[formal sierra]

wait kim.. do you mean a thread or like forum channel?

[fading fractal]

forum channel, with threads inside of it

[formal sierra]

ye thats what i was thinking

[sly badge]

I said thread but I meant that yea

forum

[fading fractal]

previews for each texture, dedicated titles, tags that you can assign to each one to make searching easier

[formal sierra]

for some reason i thought it was threads too lol

[formal sierra]

previews are the best part tbh

[fading fractal]

tags for me

[formal sierra]

nuh uh

previews

im right and *you're wrong

troll~2

[sly badge]

make it gallery mode so it looks nice.

god the logo is beautiful

[blissful pilot]

Kim to the rescue

[sly badge]

on the russian branch of the scp wiki it looks like 1499 has a larger image than the english one. It's in 2048 x 1536
It probably says somewhere but I think the author took the image himself probably since the image hasn't been changed since 2012
https://scpfoundation.net/local--files/scp-1499/mask.jpg
https://scpfoundation.net/scp-1499

Probably already know about this but 1048's image was found by this person on an archived website.
https://www.reddit.com/r/SCP/comments/vm3bn3/ive_found_the_source_of_the_original_scp1048_image/

[sly badge]

notepaper used in the 860 notes, I think this is it's original size which is 600x735

got it from here https://tr.pinterest.com/pin/275423333431618322/

[formal sierra]

what else would paper be used for 😭

thank god Olivia told us to use our pencils

[blissful pilot]

Yep, we actually have all the other photos too

I even 3D modeled from source image

[blissful pilot]

My brain is so fried lol

I'm not even sure why

I have a guess

[blissful pilot]

gosh these PK textures are killing my will to live

FInally found it

christ

[blissful pilot]

I don't know why I decide to torture myself like this lol

I was planning on doing so much, more.. why did I decide to do this of all things?? why? lol

anyhow

Re-rendered/Remastered the Femur Breaker document photo to 4K

and if you want it in color

Its this docRP incase you have no clue what I'm talking about

[oak dirge]

Are these just in game pictures? I just realized wouldn't it be cool if they were captured with rtx?

[blissful pilot]

They aren't at least the one I did, they're done in blender.. we have more control that way, but we can do ingame pictures as well

for some textures we'll have to

before I do anything else though..

im gonna look into one specific thing

its a surprise, but here's your hint

[oak dirge]

Ah ok. I just think it'd be cool if they were shaded/materialed to match in game environment.

[blissful pilot]

we will, at least for RTX

this one was made more for archival reasons

but its in a .blend file so I can always edit it, or capture ingame in the future

[oak dirge]

How is he supposed to blend in with the facility with that camo

[blissful pilot]

Yea I never understood why that was the design choice there lol

I'm trying to figure out which model they used from CS 1.6

or if it even is CS 1.6

maybe its from condition zero or a mod

not sure,

[oak dirge]

Where is that even used in scp i thought they wore flat grey

they originally got the model from counterstrike, and modified it over time

the one in v1.3.11 is almost entirely different, but that's the progression of the model

they eventually made it their own thing

but in the beginning, to my knowledge it was a simple reskin of a ripped model

Yeah its so weird

I'm not able to find a single official model that has the visor from the original, the closest i've been able to find is the GIGN as shown here

I've also found this which looks to be a mod that adds in the model, and it does predate the game by a few months, that beind said, I'm pretty sure they had this model during indev too... so

I've found countless look alikes or mods, but they never quite match 1:1

oh for christ sakes

its right in front of me

It's the GIGN model from Counter Strike Condition Zero

And.. I was even able to find the original camo mod they used, from 2007

https://gamebanana.com/mods/232134

[left sigil]

is that from the scp cb rtx server you guys were making

i was wondering why all of you went quiet all of a sudden

[formal sierra]

yup

we said we'd keep talking here but imo its just more convenient

[sly badge]

lots of containment breaches sounds were taken from this website. I found this website from this post here. I was even able to find one of the ambient sounds.
https://undertowgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1606
https://soundrangers.sourceaudio.com/track/11025323

you could recreate the door sounds with better quality if you find all the right noises.

another sound, it's a common sound but considering how many of CB's sounds are from here it's possible this is the sound that was used.
https://soundrangers.sourceaudio.com/track/11027656

I bet you could search this place for a while and find tons of sounds.

https://soundrangers.sourceaudio.com/track/11027595

sounds so clear

zap sounds used in the intro of Problem.ogg, I found Elec2.ogg too, I think it might be used somewhere I'm not sure. I'm taking these sounds from an older version of CB.

elec1 https://soundrangers.sourceaudio.com/track/11016879

elec2 https://soundrangers.sourceaudio.com/track/11016881

elec3 https://soundrangers.sourceaudio.com/track/11016878

it's kind of hard to tell they are the same at first, but I think they just got so compressed all the other details went away. If you were to compress them down to the same as the ones in game I bet they would sound exactly the same.

wow I found the old metal steps https://soundrangers.sourceaudio.com/track/11022809

it's really easy to find the original sounds here if you just type in the right keywords.

[formal sierra]

very cool lol

i've found a lot of SFX and Music from this website already, and here are just a couple. most of these are just miscellanous, from searching through each album

[blissful pilot]

I eventually want to pivot to making actual showcases of every asset remastered and every piece of progress made, any "public" findings or announcements I think should be here, while the journey to could be on the SCP RTX discord

I really wanna to still use both, but thats the only usecase I could personally think of how we could do that

right now its kinda in limbo :P

[formal sierra]

i like chatting in the other discord better anyway lol

While looking for the concretemoss images, I think I came across it's creator. But not only that, there are other CB textures made by this user, for example I think I found the texture used on Door02

https://www.deviantart.com/agf81/art/Door-Texture-2-198834874

https://www.deviantart.com/agf81/art/Wall-Texture-2-Tileable-160261227

I'll keep looking and see if I find any other textures used in CB made by this person.

[sly badge]

this texture is used on concrete wall https://www.deviantart.com/agf81/art/Concrete-Texture-10-171770906

[formal sierra]

great work

[blissful pilot]

I don't think "great work" cuts it

@sly badge you are nothing short of fucking awesome lol

[sly badge]

👍

[blissful pilot]

He found the door image!!!

[sly badge]

still have yet to find the texture ontop of the door though, it looks like it's been really edited. comparing the texture from the button and door, there are spots that match but even the parts that match have areas that don't match if that makes sense.

[blissful pilot]

I could probably figure that one out later on

as for this

[formal sierra]

greatest work

[blissful pilot]

we actually already had concrete moss's texture source, I've just been waiting to remaster it

still, never knew it was the same guy

[sly badge]

btw my theory for the containment doors texture, I think it has just been painted in some software, the only texture it uses is the metal texture on top of it

[blissful pilot]

oh 100% that's why I was like, but we could still find the metal texture

Unless you're suggesting we have it already

the other thing left to "source" is the label

[sly badge]

idk how to get the texture of the containment doors, so i got no clue how to search for it.

the only way I can think of is looking for it is in places we have found other textures like that guys deviant art page.

[blissful pilot]

its aight good work as always

honestly the most time consuming part is remastering and writting the posts for archiving, so there's literally no rush

its a job of passion not deadline

[sly badge]

I've been also having some trouble searching for this metal texture, it looks like it's also been really edited around. I was able to remove one texture from it but to me it kind of looks like a combination of maybe 3 different textures.

[sly badge]

yes of course

I think the parts of the metal texture are whatever these rust spots are this metal texture thats easier to see in the second image, and this third texture which we found the source of.

either that or the spots and metalish texture are the same image

now that I look at it I think they are the same image, just more transparent in some areas is all.

[sly badge]

Found the brick texture used on ctwalls
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91IQWQkVgqL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

got it from amazon, biggest resolution I could find but it's definitely not the original
https://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Whitewashed-Brick-GW1001-Wallpaper/dp/B07LH5RDJB

The image has been edited quite a bit, but here is an easier comparison, this A shape here is an easy way to tell they are the same.

it's 2000x1866

also here is the larger version because I think I sent the wrong version https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91IQWQkVgqL.jpg

[sly badge]

ctwalls looks like its a combination of this wall, misc, this image here, and something else which I can't tell what it is.

[formal sierra]

COOL

GREAT

AWESOME

SAUCE

actually very nice find lol

[sly badge]

I've tried looking for the tank and pipe texture, but I think they are from some free 3d model pack or something, because I'm not getting any results for their textures, and I feel like I know this because Pipesnorust2 is an edited version of the pipes texture, which makes me think they did not create the texture. That isn't the same for Tanks though but the tanks look like free 3d models and are even combined with the pipes in game so they might be from the same place.

[blissful pilot]

Yeah most likely

I can't remember where, but the container is from a free model pack

upon finding that I think the tank and what not also is

[oak dirge]

That wall is sexy

Achv1048 uses these images

got them from theses websites, it's possible there are higher resolution, I didn't check actually but these will make it easier to search for higher resolutions if you need them.

this is the best one I could find for achv420, I'm confident there is a better one but this is what I have found for now. I lost the place I got it from but should be easy to find again.

[sly badge]

after a little bit more research I found this. Here is the oldest image I could find, from 19 years ago.
https://www.labnews.co.uk/article/2029616/cannabis_destroys_cancer_cells

and this is the largest image I could find, however it is pretty blurry so I think it was just scaled up
https://images.saymedia-content.com/.image/t_share/MTc2NDMxMjM4MTk3MDkzNTY2/top-10-funniest-marijuana-smokers-in-show-business.gif

I think this might be the original resolution as it doesn't look too blurry or isn't too small
https://www.golocalprov.com/health/new-ri-physician-suspended-for-marijuana-violations

[sly badge]

pretty sure this is Achvtesla, largest resolution which I think is 1080x1080, and I think this person also made the icon. Not sure where it says when it was made though so I could be wrong.

can't seem to have any luck with finding Achv789, but here is a version without the dirty effect if anyone else ends up trying.

[oak dirge]

Sick

[sly badge]

I made this in ms paint, just the icon, not sure what the background could be. it's 2,000x2,182 and It's pixelated so should be easy to lower and increase resolution.

you could have done this yourself because it's so easy but I was just bored so here it is.

[fading fractal]

that reminds me too much of the directx logo lol

[blissful pilot]

could just be the model of it too

also

I've found the X

I just forgot to mention it

[sly badge]

oh sick

[blissful pilot]

what

damnit discord

gimme a sec

I'm like 95% sure it's a shortened/edited version of this "X" which the earliest example I could find of it is known as the KNTXT logo by Charlotte De Witte, a music group from Belgium.

However where they, and likely CB got it from if not from the music group is a typeface called VCR OSD Mono which also has the "X" shown in it.

[blissful pilot]

Using the same tricks I used to find the 895 pics, I removed the darkening on it

I also used AI to generate a good looking higher resolution result, hopefully it helps with finding it, if not it'll work for remastering

[blissful pilot]

I forgot to say about all the other ones, but Awesome work once again

@fading fractal is how I'm posting in https://discordapp.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1028600697463263314 good? I've been wondering that for a bit

like I'm not sure if each one should be its own thread like how it is

[fading fractal]

given how far apart each post is in time, imo yes it's fine. if you have a bunch to share at once though i'd ask that you do it in one post

[blissful pilot]

OK good that's kinda what I interpreted by looking at others posts

basically space out posts by how often they are posted, rule of thumb don't flood the channel all at once

these take a suprisingly bit of time to make so that's why it felt right to do it that wa y

[sly badge]

I spent some time remaking the master card since I think the highest quality image online is really small. However it isn't perfect, some text is off slightly, same for some colors. And the text on the world thingy looks different but I couldn't find any image that looks like it online.

If you want to give a go at it here is what I've learned and the images I used while making it.
The mastercard font is fruitger pro 66 bold italic, the numbers font is apparently called "Credit Card Font" But I couldn't find a download for it anywhere so I just used an image. You can find the pay pass logo anywhere easy by searching, and for the EMV chip I just asked chat gpt to remake it because idk what type of EMV it is or if you can classify them like that.

if you want to edit it go ahead and download the xcf I also sent. I used Gimp to make it because I don't have photoshop. So idk if ps supports it but i'll send it anyways.
The resolution is 2000 x 1274

oops I messed up and left in a 0. fixed, also a better comparison.

[formal sierra]

damnnnn

practically 1:1

very good work, i'll see if i can convert it to .psd/.afdesign

[sly badge]

I think I did the best I could, but I think there is still things to improve, so if inward wants to change anything about it this image a good template or starting point.

as well as the xcf I sent

[formal sierra]

the only thing that might be slightly off is the chip color.. it might just be the pixelation, but it seems that the original is ~#f4ddb4 while your remake is ~#ffe4ab

[sly badge]

yea you are right, I got lazy and did not change it, another reason this image can just be used as a good template.

[formal sierra]

yeah it was just a nitpick 😂

looks great otherwise

[sly badge]

there are also some shadows under some text on the orignal, but I can't tell if it's just compression or not, so I just assumed no shadows.

[formal sierra]

yeah im pretty sure just pixelation

is it possible for you to export to .PSD from gimp?

i searched it up but idk if its true

[sly badge]

I can see if I can

try this

[formal sierra]

works :D

[sly badge]

[blissful pilot]

I cannot believe I missed this

this is AWESOME

I was just thinking of doing this yesterday but never got to it

I dunno if you saw @sly badge but I sourced AchvMassage and remastered it to 2K

It's technically cut content, but still

[sly badge]

I saw, really cool.

[blissful pilot]

I'll remaster the mastercard in a sec

like make the icon and such

should probably do the keycards too now that we have everything else

those might just need to be remade from scratch

[sly badge]

Found the radio image at 5688x4024, most of it is white space but still a really high resolution image. Closer to 940x3040 ignoring the white space

It apparently somewhere on this website. But I can seem to find it, still got the image though from the search engine I used.

have yet to find the radio antenna though but I'll try and find it some time later.

actually it's possible regalis used this image, as it's the second result when you search of thales radio before 2012 and is the same resolution as the one I just sent basically.
https://cs.thalesdsi.com/images/JTRS/ANPRC148_with_5.8_battery.jpg

[blissful pilot]

If you find the paper texture now you'd be the king of texture archeology

[blissful pilot]

yep, radio and S-NAV i found before I purchased them, just waiting to be properly remastered

I forgot to post this earlier I think too, but I was going through my laptop to find the 066 model and forgot to transfer over the high resolution image used for the drawers, which is this

I know it doesn't look quite right, but I've compared it like 100 times, whether the adobe stock is photoshopped from this photo or the other way around, the texture originally comes from those FPS game creation model packs that Regalis took for CB, and the wood grain lines up 1:1, so it can be used for reamstering, If you happen to find a high resolution of this image that predates the stock image be my guest, but I have yet to and I think this was good enough

[blissful pilot]

Awesome work as always though 👌

[blissful pilot]

oh btw don't bother looking for the audio for On Mount Golgotha or whatver its called, the sound that's heard ingame supposedly was made by regalis and a couple of friends

so it won't be something that can sourced afaik

[sly badge]

I found it, however, either there is an alternate version or I think 012's image was created, and then later on edited because whoever made it lost the original files. You can see how some parts are not exactly the same, probably from cloning parts of the image. But it is definitely the same

highest resolution I could find is from here https://in.pinterest.com/pin/948007790315648964/
736 x 1128

012's texture is like the top left corner of the image

if you flip between the longer and short versions of the blood notes you can see how the paper texture changes, so I think the losing original files thing is true.

it's easier to tell in an editor

Here is a version with no writing for an easier comparison, you might notice how it's not all the same or moved around, I think it's just been re-edited a bunch.

I honestly don't know why but just a theory.

[formal sierra]

my goat

it would make sense considering the workflow of the game and how everyone ive seemed to ask about source files cant find them 😂

[blissful pilot]

Jesus christ

[slim gull]

how do i fix the black screen when i load into the game. ive tried windowed and it gets rid of it but it gets really low fps

[oak dirge]

Like the menu is black or the actual game? If the game world is black it probably means your missing the mod files for lights or something.

[blissful pilot]

borderless Windowed also causes many issues, I'd recommend Fullscreen, always. a lot of times Borderless Windowed mode doesn't work in RTX

[golden gulch]

I think I'm getting the same thing

I load my save and the game is just black, then crashes

im using fullscreen at 1920x1080p

this is all that apears on load

I have now managed to get it open and running

but now it looks like this

don't think this is what it's suppose to look like

[blissful pilot]

@golden gulch If you haven't already, throw this into the game's directory

and then try running the game, lemme know it looks like, make sure to

• Start the game in Fullscreen NOT borderless windowed
• and to select your RTX Graphics card for the "Graphics:" device option

If that doesn't work I can troubleshoot some more with you, I'm sure we should be able to get it working

[blissful pilot]

Same thing for @slim gull when you get the chance

[golden gulch]

just got this

it looks like the game thinks I only have 512mb of vram....

None of the error logs have anything under "error:" exept for error_log_0 which has "Error(s):
FillRoom (room205) ***************
CameraZoom: Entity does not exist"

I GOT IT

FOR ANYONE WHO HAS THIS ISSUE

Go into the options ini. look for the line that says "enable vram = 0" and set it to "enable vram = 1"

[blissful pilot]

Ah didn’t even think it could be on the game’s side instead of Remix; Glad you got it to work though

I found an older version of the skybox from jan 27 2012, however the lower half is a different color, it's resolution is 3072x1536
https://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/651654?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=yandexsmartcamera

The shutterstock version says it is 4000 x 2000 and also looks more similar to the one used in CB. If you were to buy one In my opinion I would go with the shutterstock version, they both cost money, but the shutterstock version looks visually closer and I believe is in higher resolution.
https://www.shutterstock.com/image-illustration/3d-rendering-panoramic-nature-scene-background-1301484205

Also, there are programs that can convert panoramas into cube maps. This is one for example. Should make it look just like the one in Containment Breach. https://jaxry.github.io/panorama-to-cubemap/

(just make sure to set the cube rotation to 90, this is what Containment Breaches Skybox is set to I believe)

if you were to use the shutterstock image, the resolution for each side would be 1000x1000 which is actually lower than containment breaches 1024x2024, so it is possible there is a larger resolution, or the one in containment breach is just scaled up. But I'm assuming you will use AI to upscale it so I don't think it should be an issue I guess. Just something I thought I should mention.

[formal sierra]

GOD I LOVE YOU

platonically

[sly badge]

I found the shutterstock one a while ago but the older version is important still I think.

[formal sierra]

i kind of want to use real-world height map data from the mountains and then make an actual 3D terrain off it

idk how but there is ways to do it

[sly badge]

that would be interesting

[formal sierra]

either way cool find :D

very nice

[sly badge]

oh yea https://soundcloud.com/tallfellow/scp-radio

idk if any of you guys found this yet but I was just looking for it because I really wanted to hear it undistorted.
I found it in here, Omniary is the one who linked to the soundcloud
https://undertowgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4546

there are also HD versions of the talking as well, here is one just as an example https://soundcloud.com/tallfellow/sample-announcement-1

here ya go bro

I had shutterstock credits left

[blissful pilot]

Yea It should be able to do clouds pretty well

[blissful pilot]

nope, this is new

I'm thinking of just disabling borderless windowed mode in the .exe in v0.0.8 of the mod, christ

you won't believe how many people I've had message me about it not working at all, and then eventually after talking about it back and forth I find that hey instinctively went borderless windowed mode because that's what they always ran the game at, or because they thought it would work better that way

even the judges did it

most people aren't even aware the mod works because of that

and because borderless windowed mode is broken 99% of the time, until we find a fix for it, or until DX9, maybe just disable it

Maybe I'll make two .exes and both will be included with the mod, but the only difference is that

one for public (newbies that don't know BWM doesn't work) and one for whoever wants to try BWM, or for development/testing purposes

[sly badge]

thats definitely the case because thats what I do with most of my games, usually fullscreen makes it so when you tab out everything pauses and you have to wait a few seconds. Thats why I use borderless anyways to prevent that.

also using the website it gives me the exact same sky image so I really suggest using it for converting it to a cube map. Just make sure it's set to 90 degrees. You may need to rotate it but other than that it's the same.

[sly badge]

according to the radio Wednesday is pizza day, So I really recommend you edit the chart to say something else when you get the time. Because the one I made is a little bit nonsense and I think could be improved. Unless you are fine with it thats okay, just a suggestion.

[formal sierra]

awesome sauce

[blissful pilot]

I can do that when I get to remastering the texture

[sly badge]

here is the exact image used to make tree2, which you can find on the tree PSD. Not sure about the leaves, think it's just one image copy and pasted over and over. The bark texture ontop of it is just tree1.jpg which I have already found the original image of.
https://www.dreamstime.com/royalty-free-stock-photos-tree-silhouette-image22604638

for comparison

it can go to 3796x4262

there is a free image trail so you can get this one for free as long as you cancel the subscription before it renews

[sly badge]

not in the current version of the game, but this image is used in older versions so why not. I think this is the original resolution since the oldest ones seems to be that res which his 700x772 . It looks kind of gory, I think it's just a guy covered in paint because its for a black metal band cover or something like that.
You can find this image in many places but I will just link this since I think it was posted by the band itself https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=241481366030404&id=198465653665309&set=a.198604313651443

Awesome find

I was actually wondering about that tree just the other day

that one setting was able to stop the screens disappearing, I was even able to set the materials to "World Space UI texture" for all the screens (even the blitzmovie one) and it just worked, but it seems it's dev/debug option..

so my two questions for @fading fractal or the documentation is

• Is it better to use "World Space UI Texture" over going into the toolkit and making them emissive with an emissive map? I ask this mainly because I've been having a lot of problems with the blitzmovie one, because it's technically an AVI played on the material, which RTX Remix can find a hash for, but struggles to change in anyway shape or form besides those quick texture categories.

• Secondly, what is "Enable Instance Debugging" for? can it be used for a mod indefinitely? is it meant to? if not; is there an alternative to do... whatever it's doing to stop the screens from disappearing?

i don't think emissive maps are the correct way to do this. world space ui texture seems correct

and idk about the second one at all, sorry

Hey World Space UI is easier, so I'm good with that
