Could you please send me save file from Morocco scene 4 with bugged Moon flare?)))
I think I found something in DAT file, but I lost my save, and this is ultra long mission for me with all the sniping in the beginning

If you go into regedit and browse to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/WOW6432Node/Monolith Productions/No One Lives Forever/1.0

And set the EndGame key to 0x00000001, you can load whatever mission you want. The game will then think that you completed it once :)

Can I load part 4 of the Morocco mission or will I have to start it from the beginning?)
I just need the part with the broken Moon flare

I don't have the save no. But there is also cheat codes. Press T and type mpmaphole to skip to next mission, should probably have started with that but didn't think of it ((paper))

Thanks a lot
A fixed this bug (vanilla/upscaled 4x)
https://imgsli.com/MTA5MDQx

Such bugs needs to be fixed by hand in DAT file by reversing upscale changes just for this flare texture vectors.

Fixed x2 version with all the latest changes
https://disk.yandex.ru/d/xu3ihTk5oyxKsw

Fixed x4 version
https://disk.yandex.ru/d/NefWBvLsjB5oNA

Already upscaled it
https://disk.yandex.ru/d/q1m_qD0vGNofqA

It would be easier if you will tell me the name of the maps :)
m01s02 for example etc

Here is the list of maps that propably had Moon Flare bug
M01S03
M01S04
M04S01
M07S02
M08S01
M08S02
M08S03
M08S04
M09S01
M14S01
CLOUD-CITY_AM
007CLUBDEAD_DM
T01S01

They all had MoonFlare model with this textures
SFX\Flares\FlareSprTex\Flr0030.dtx
Tex\Invisible.dtx

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it seems I forgot to upscale SFX folder with several textures)))
So I guess if I will upscale them - the problem will be gone)

But I'm slightly lazy to upscale the whole pack of textures, and I don't even know if they will scale properly in game.
Funny thing: Instead of using TEX/FLARES directory for world textures for moon they used SFX sprites directory.
And in another place with bugged scaled flares they used TEX/FLARES instead of using SFX sprites.
That's the origin of this bugs.
I'll check DAT files for using textures from SFX and will think of how to solve this. I'm really not sure that SFX sprites will scale well if I upscale them.

@AkvenJan

ok good Works :D

t01s01.dat is it

ok , good to know that you now all Maps , which have the Moon Problem , so i didn't not Report more Moon Problems :D ^^

hmm ok , is may not needed , i saw you had removed the Upscaled Flares , the Upscaled one looks not better , than the Default one , only too big . that was all :D

it will be better , when you only Upload small Fixes , i have no problem to get the Full Package more times with 250/40 , but another one have may not a Fast Connection or Limeted Data , i think that will too Save your Time. for Upload it.

i have first upload a full Mission , but my Video still not full 1440p Converted , Youtube will kidding , the Video 10GB was up at 22:00

Im Start a full run now , to see what i can may find.

m07s02 . begin , that looks like Sun Flares this times. !

Well, I tried to upscale some files from SFX folder - and they break the scaling in the game
So for now the only thing I can to do prevent it - is to manually revert UV vectors for Moon/Sun Flares in DAT files
I also found that water textures from SFX used for some level details. Will check them now if upscaling water will break anything.

Need more time to analyze DAT files and SFX files they use

P.S. And the only reason for all of this is because developers USED TEXTURES FROM THE WRONG FOLDER!!!! They shouldn't used SFX sprites for world models, they have TEX folder for that.

I went through all the official maps and found this cases of misusing SFX sprites textures for world models
Theoretically I can upscale all the SFXs and change scale for particles, but:
1. They already look good as they are, it will change nothing in visuals
2. I'm not sure DAT file template even describes particles section
And without modifying DAT particles scales simple upscaling of particle DTXs brakes the scaling of the particles (while fixing scaling for sprites used in world models)

It's easier to just manually reverse UV vectors changes for this models
I think I need some manual with screenshots so anyone could do it)) Some theoretically work on how game handles upscaled textures and how to use all the tools. For the community (I really want AvP 2 upscaled to play, but tired of doing it myself)
