# DESCRIPTION

A comprehensive 4X upscaled textures conversion for Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered! The advanced RealSR algorithm has been used to upscale the game's textures by a factor of 4, resulting in significantly improved visuals.

Experience Ghostbusters: The Video Game, rediscover the iconic moments, memorable characters, and spooky settings like never before with The Real Remastered Texture Pack, the remastering it always deserved!

Unlike the official re-release, which offered no enhancements to the game's visuals, this mod delivers a true remastering, bringing the beloved classic into the modern era with high-definition textures.

Even the 2009 licensed assets content have been included and enhanced!

Plus, enjoy the thrill of finding Easter eggs and references throughout the game that pay homage to the Ghostbusters universe and beyond, adding an extra layer of fun and nostalgia for keen-eyed players.

Nearly every texture in the game has been meticulously upscaled, with a few exceptions for textures that were either problematic or deemed unnecessary.

Preliminary testing has been conducted and issues encountered have been resolved, but there may still be some bugs or missing textures that need attention. Continued testing is essential for enhancing and perfecting the textures to guarantee a smooth experience. Should any problems arise, especially with missing textures, please report them in the bugs section.

Feedback is vital, so savor this upgraded edition of Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered and share your thoughts and experiences!

# MOD INSTALLATION

- As a precautionary measure, if you haven't already done so, navigate to the main game folder and create a backup of the OFFICIAL "PATCH.POD".
- Download the mod package and extract the contents of the .7z archive using a file extraction tool (such as 7-Zip).
- Copy the extracted files "PATCH.POD", "UPSCALED01.POD", "UPSCALED02.POD" and "UPSCALED03.POD" into the main game folder, replacing the existing files.
- If you've installed v0.0.1 of the mod you can delete the files "PATCH02.POD" and "PATCH03.POD"
- The installation is now complete! Launch the game and enjoy the enhanced textures.


# SWITCHING BETWEEN OFFICIAL AND UPSCALED TEXTURES

Switching between official and upscaled textures can be useful for troubleshooting issues and appreciating the differences in texture quality.

Switching to Official Textures:
- Ensure the game is not running.
- Rename the file "UPSCALED01.POD" to something like "UPSCALED01.POD.no".
- Start the game.

Switching to Upscaled Textures:
- Ensure the game is not running.
- Rename the file "UPSCALED01.POD.no" back to "UPSCALED01.POD".
- Start the game.


# MOD UNINSTALLATION

- Simply remove the files "UPSCALED01.POD", "UPSCALED02.POD" and "UPSCALED03.POD" from the main game folder.
- The file "PATCH.POD" included in this mod is identical to the official one but also points to "UPSCALED01.POD", which further points to "UPSCALED02.POD", which finally points to "UPSCALED03.POD".
  You can choose to leave it as is or restore the official "PATCH.POD".


# SPECIAL THANKS

Special thanks go to Malte0621, whose invaluable assistance made this mod possible. Thanks to his contributions, the 2GB file size limit for POD archives is no longer a restriction, allowing higher-quality textures in this release.
