Do you have any pictures to show before and after? Like what does this add?

Better visuals, cat-rom was not designed for computer graphics (see bottom of this page).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell%E2%80%93Netravali_filters

Catrom and B-spline are extreme opposites. Mitchell Netravali splits the difference, but still sits on the blurry side.

This is as sharp as you can push before you see similar types of artifacts.

z-cubic is a "keys cubic" so called ideal filter based on the formula B+2C=1 (similar to Mitchell Netravali but maximally sharper)

z-cubic-soft is one tap softer, looks nice with cartoon style graphics as in war2, trees render a bit like remaster.

z-cubic-sharp is one tap sharper than z-cubic, some may prefer this.

Place them in your Shaders directory and modify the shader= line in ddraw.ini/dd-hd.ini

Code: [Select]
shader=Shaders\z-cubic-bilinear.glsl

I use opengl with custom shaders, ddrawcompat doesn't work with HD on my machine(config issue), it's a generic driver

when you say glitchy you mean you get jaggy graphics? put this INI in your combat folder, should clear that up

Before you try the patch, try running DirectDraw compatibility tool (attatched to this post)

Point it at 'Warcraft II BNE.exe' and click apply.

You may need to update your Lambchops (LC.dll) for the hardware cursor, but I think that's a dead end :salty:

https://forum.war2.ru/index.php?topic=6461.msg102140#msg102140

The widescreen patch has the latest lambchops plugin loader built in, no dlls are required.

Install the widescreen patch and set the resolution to 640x480 (in Warcraft II BNE.ini), you will not get HD icon and it will play almost exactly the same.

Play around with "Warcraft II Config.exe" if you don't know how to mess with .ini files, to see what works and see what settings you like visually.

Dropping the ddraw.dll from fois HD mod into your War2 folder should fix it (backup the original incase of issues)

If not there is the hardware cursor plugin (it's in the same zip)

HardwareCursor.w2p, HardwareCursor.ini and "Cursors" folder go in your War2Combat\plugin folder

They will definitely ruin it. The only way to remaster it is uodate the graphics a bit, the rest is perfect.
Agreed, although I feel like Dragon/Gryphon sprites were rushed, and they should respond faster

New maps by competent mappers, tilets(upper ground, ramps, bridges, doodads, map triggers, larger maps), audio tracks and.. ..maybe.. pathing could be improved

The basic game is solid

If you are instead looking for some kind of first person video recorder, there is this

https://ftp.war2.ru/war2/Other%20utilities/Recording%20&%20Streaming/UScreenCapture2.0.15.zip

And there is WarVideo, both of which I know nothing about

No, why don't you download some replays and try it out ???

1) Logon to any bnet server

2) Load up the replay file (alt+tab and hit open replay in War2Insight, then click view replay)

3) Create a game, select the map the game was played on, set game type as Meele and tick Fixed Positions (and set a game password)

4) Set the exact number of "computer opponents" listed at bottom of the War2Insight window, this changes per replay depending on the number of players.

5) Start the game.
