Kcjpunk Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 actually i found a tool named TVP(kirikiri) configuration tool and it can do that but it ended up streacthing the image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asr163 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 i use a tool called lossless scaling its meant for old games but it also works well on visual novels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asr163 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 it needs to be on steam it was design for old games but it works well on visual novels, i have a 1440p monitor so i use that on low res visual novels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonym271 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Actually I have spent some time in the last years with upscaling old VNs, even though I never published any patches. I have never put my hands on Nuki Doki but I will try it. I am usually using Waifu2x to upscale the CGs and graphics then it depends on the engine whether you can easily adjust the UI to a new resolution or not. 1920x1080 might be hard though since the aspect ratio will change and so you will need to cut off parts of the images. But I guess 1600x1200 should be worth a try. Edited June 1, 2021 by Anonym271 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonym271 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Okay, just tried it out: since Nuki Doki uses KiriKiri the chances are very good. Use GARbro to extract / repack the archives (they aren't encrypted) and scale all images using Waifu2x. The most important ones are in image.xp3, fgimage.xp3 and bgimage.xp3 but data.xp3 also contains some graphics (GUI stuff in data.xp3/system) and the game won't run correctly until you upscale at least the screen transitions in there (rule2.png, rule5.png, rule6.png). You might also want to upscale the remaining GUI elements later. After that you will have to adjust the window size and probably also some parts of the GUI layout in the script files - they are located in data.xp3/system. The game starts with the script "Initialize.tjs" but the most important settings for the GUI are in Config.tjs and MainWindow.tjs. They both contain the variables "scWidth" and "scHeight" which you can just change to your desires. When you start the game after this you will probably notice that many of the GUI elements are displaced or appear in the wrong size. If this is the case you will need to adjust them in the TJS scripts (the window layout is defined somewhere in them) and with upscaling some of the remaining image files in data.xp3. This will be a little bit of effort but if you do all this and invest some time into the fine tuning you will have a perfectly upscaled game after this that is not simply stretched to another resolution. I guess you won't be able to get any good results without a little bit of manual work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you won't be able to get any good results without a little bit of manual work thanks actually Waifu2x upscaling qulity is really low . I use ESRGAN-master to do all the upscaling stuff ESRGAN so much better than Waifu2x and also faster as well .. I will give it a try which size did you used ? 1920x1080 or smaller than that ?

Anonym271 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Ah, right. ESRGAN produces extremely good results (even though Waifu2x with the Cunet model will be perfectly fine in 90 % of the cases). I used 2x scale (1600x1200) - as I said, 1920x1080 will give you cropping problems because the aspect ratio is not the same: you will either have to cut parts away on the top and bottom or you wil have black bars on the left and right. But you can try, of course! Often it is not even that hard to crop the images to 16:9 without losing important parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
