DreamfallHD Textures reworked

>> Replaces ~3800 textures, high-maps, normal-maps and specular maps with new or reworked AI-upscaled textures.

>> incl. scriptmod to skip all hacking and lockpicking minigames. 
     Unfortunately, this is necessary, because modding the pak files causes the minigames to crash. 

>> incl. shaderscript-mod to eliminate artifacts when using some reshade mods that use depth information (like RTGI). 
     Smoke, lampflares and candleflames will no longer be seen as solid objects by reshade.

>> incl. scriptmod that reduces the health of some particularly annoying enemies in unavoidable fights.

>> incl. modtool (sourcecode as separate download)

>> reshade quint_RTGI and alternative quint_MXAO presets are available as separate download. 

AI upscaled videofiles are available as a separate mod: 

DreamfallHD AI upscaled videos

The no-minigames mod and shaderscript-mod are available as separate download in a dfmodtool version
and can be combined with other texture mods like the AI upscale HD mod from lala125.
You can also mix textures from different mods.
(But, if you want to use my modtool with textures from other mods, you must rename all ".dds"  files into ".png")

Known issues:

A system date format using  "\" can cause the modding to crash, because a logfile can not be created. 
There is a fixed/updated StartModPak.bat file available in "miscellaneous". 

Modding the pak files causes the minigames to crash.
This mod contains a script-mod to skip all hacking and lockpicking minigames. 

Modding "the_winter.pak" will cause the cutscene in faith´s winter landscape(when Zoe is breaking through the ice) to crash.
This mod will by default not change "the_winter.bak", it will just move it to the "out" folder. 
This affects pretty much exclusively the dollhouse textures.
The mod however does contain HD textures for Faith´s dollhouse.
You will have to edit StartModPak.bat to allow modding of "the_winter.pak"
But a modded "the_winter.pak" file will only work for Zoe´s 3rd visit in faith´s winter landscape,
when she is allowed to enter Faith´s dollhouse.
Until then you must use the original "the_winter.pak" file.

This modtool is an altered version of his "Utilities for Dreamfall" code.
his code was extremely helpful in understanding the pak file format.
