Corrected coloring in the title screen around manhunt logo
Updated the cameraFX static
Slightly altered the reshade effect
Reduced some texture sizes in levels that were prone to crash when loaded after other large levels. This should lower instances of crashing*
*My next update I will work on trying to make each level look as good as possible; I will do this by increasing the resolution of textures the player is more likely to see more often, and reducing ones on smaller surfaces or not as prevailant. This will work to make the whole mod look even better, but still work within the lame limitations of the game. This will take a little while but stay tuned! I really want this to be the best looking (but faithful to the old artwork) version of Manhunt it can be.
Version 1.0.0.0
First Release
This is the Manhunt HD Remaster Pack. This Pack is intended to be installed right after a clean install of Manhunt. It contains:
AI Upscaled HUD elements and Textures (1.5x to 4x the Original Resolution)
New Noise Effect; replaced the intrustive in-game noise effect with a more subtle one (you can still toggle it off in the game settings if you prefer)
A Custom SweetFX Reshade (No third party application required)
ermaccer's Manhunt Fixes (Props go to him for these; this means you do not need to run the fixer when installing this pack)
This installer cannot autodetect where Manhunt is installed, so please ensure you select the correct Path to your game directory.
Notes
Please ensure you are installing this Pack on a CLEAN install of Manhunt. I cannot guarantee this will work unless you do so.
Upon completion of the install, this installer will automatically patch the manhunt exe file; if for some reason you find it does not, please run "exepatch.exe" from your Manhunt Directory.
About the Textures
I upscaled every texture in every single level. The largest textures in game were 512x512, in this pack they are now 1024x1024 (x2). For some levels, Rockstar only used 256x256 pixel textures (unsure why) so these ones are also upscaled to 1024x1024 (x4).
Certain levels I had to upscale to only 768x768 (1.5x) due to the number of textures used, and the games hard-limit for memory allocation of a single TXD file. These levels are few and far between so majority of levels are at least 2x upscaled (but all are at least 1.5x the original resolution).
