SoMI:SE Backgrounds Fix patch and other mods.

[LordTrilobite]

As there seemed to be an interest in SoMI:SE mods here aswell sa seen in the following thread.
http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/...ad.php?t=15516
I decided I'd post my mods here aswell.

I already posted this before on the Mojo and Steam forums:
http://www.lucasforums.com/showpost....57&postcount=4
http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=1026287

So without further a do, here are my current mods.


Backgrounds Fix Patch Version 5 (unfinished)
This mod fixes some backgrounds that were sloppy, rushed or in any way incomplete in the official version.
It will remove any artefact pixels left behind of the old backgrounds, fix any wonky alpha's and clean things up considderably.

Note that I have not yet fixed all backgrounds yet, it's a work in progress. More backgrounds will be fixed as I progress.

I have also added the fix for Stan's Store Sign made by Khar.

Keep a lookout for future updates

Thanks! These look terrific! For a future update, think you could make the portrait on the wall of the Scumm Bar kitchen the Pillsbury Doughboy again?

[LordTrilobite]

Yes I could give that a try, though that's a change, not a fix. So that would be in a separate mod, like the smile mod. I also planned to enhance some of the inventory items and change the idol from evil tentacle back to the Sam & Max idol.

[Chyron8472]

I love this. good job.

EDIT: when might you have more of Melee Forest fixed and ready for download?

[SHODANFreeman]

You should start a website for these mods.

A while ago for fun I redid Guybrush's hair on a few of the sprite sheets basing the look on the original box art and then Riot23 did a bunch of copy and pasting and whipped up a patch

Thanks, right now I'm working on other location fixes for the next version of the patch. There are over 20 locations in the forest, I've fixed 3 so far, and some locations are hell to fix. The forest is so much work I'm not sure I will ever finish it. But I'll continue working as long as I don't get bored with the project. But don't worry, more fixes for the forest will come in the future.

Anyhow, I should have a new version up sometime this weekend with more fixes for the church, the troll bridge and the close up of the Swordmaster's house.

I used that mod the whole way through and liked it very much. Kudos and thank you!

[Irishmile]

Riot23 did almost all of the tedious copy and pasting... whomever and where ever Riot23 is.... He just asked if he could use the scribbles I did... Obviously I had no objections... but if I knew someone would actually put it in a patch I would have made it a little better looking.

[Griswald Goodsoup]

I'm sure I missed a thread or several hundred some where...
But I'm guessing these mods are for pc/xbox/wii or whatever platform it may be on.
I have the iPhone version, and seeing as how Apple is pretty homogeneous with their tech I'm certain I'll have to wait for LA to bring out their update with your content - give or take 20 years.

By that time I may as well buy Secret of Monkey Island Uber-special Edition, 2030 "a remake of the original 2009 game".

Anyway is there a pc version you can buy like from LA, or do you have to covertly download this from Steam or something?

Also, call it ignorance or apathy, but I heard something about Telltale releasing SoMI:SE and LCR:SE on disc, or is this pure conjecture?

Thanks

Yes, you have to buy SoMI:SE from Steam or Direct2drive.

During the recent announcement of LCR:SE, it was announced that you will be able to buy SoMI:SE from the Telltale store, no word on a disc version.

[Irishmile]

they will be selling digital copies in their store... not on disc.. or at least nothing has been said about it.... But who knows what the future may bring.

[SHODANFreeman]

Speaking of discs, has anyone made up some nice disc art/DVD case art for MI:SE yet?

[Chyron8472]

yes. someone on here edited the SE boxart to change guybrush's hair and facial expression. it looks pretty good. I have yet ot run a forum search for it, though.

[StarEye]

Great job, but is there a way you could make direct comparison shots for all of them? Preferably between all three versions, but at least the old SE and new SE version.

[MonkeyMania]

Something I WAS working on.

I mean a printable DVD case thingy, not just the box-art itself.

You know, if you are still interested, I still would love to help with this project. Helping with the actual pasting and getting all the new graphics ingame.

[Irishmile]

Yes do that... you guys finish it... and I tell you what I will help by using that mod
