About this mod
This is a complete background upscale mod.
The mod itself is "just" a proof of concept of my modding scripts that I will be releasing in the next week or so to help other background artist who don't want or simply don't have the knowledge or time to manage such a large project.
That way they can focus solely on touching up, etc.
- Permissions and credits
- Donations
To my Knowledge this is the first complete background Mod without any seam issues.
I developed some script's that will do the heavy lifting for future background artist who doesn't have the time and /or knowledge to compose the entire fieldlayers, upscaling and recut the entire layers so they fit perfectly into the tool that creates the chip data.
Long Story Short:
The good thing is: Should you don't like the Mod, you can do your own with my Scripts that I'll be releasing shortly.
I just need some time for a better documentation so artists can really focus on touching things up way better manually than I'm. Like correcting the Engrish Localization for Termina, which is always spelled Telmina in the Backgrounds. Or Touching up things with Adobe AI. I did an example for the Griffin Statue in Termina as the Upscaled griffin looked really like straight from a kids Book but Shitty³ (That "thing" was ugly as hell :D).
So yeah, please enjoy the Mod and let me know if anything is broken so I can correct the Mod but also more important, tweak my Scripts so those things are ironed out before I release them for public use.

Long Story Short:
- I've upscaled all room 4x the size from the PSX counterpart
- I used an advanced interpolation of 4 ESRGAN Models to achieve the final look
- I needed to add Grain to the images as recompressing them back to chip format will introduce heavy banding if the colors are not reduced or grain is added. I've tried less colours but decided pro grain as it looks better (IMHO!)
- I've touched ups some rooms, like adding some HD Nikki/Miki Posters. Nothing too Fancy
