So, if i understood correctly, the original 3,4 GB image.rpa can be replaced with your 5 GB image.rpa and the renderers in Milfy City ver. 1.0e will become the same as on your previews and the game will continue to work stably? No Ren'py errors, no missing backgrounds and etc?

If so, how much time did you spend on all this?
If so, i wanna look at what you did in my walkthrough.
If so, share archive with us when you have free time (gofile, pixeldrain, mega). You can even divide it into 2 parts.
It would be wrong if such a huge work does not become public)
the upscaler i used has a bulk function that respects folder structure, so it wasn't labour intensive on my part,
the images.rpa file has 13k images, 3k being .png (mostly overlays) which i skipped, and 10k being .jpg mostly full screen images.
it took over 10 hours for the upscaler to finish, and the final 4k folder is around 11gb downscaled back to 1080p at 5.5gb,

i played for a few hours and there was no error on my end,

I'm uploading the image.rpa to gofile right now.

AI UPSCALE PATCH 10k images from 1080p to 4k back to 1080p


Instructions
replace old image.rpa for the new AND replace the files on the main game folder with the ones on the ZIP file in the link, otherwise the game will give an error when trying to open the new image.rpa.
or
you could unpack the .rpa and place the image folder on milfy city\game and delete the original image.rpa.

it worked on my end but make a backup just in case

samples
original

upscaled


reason why some game files need to be replaced
i used renpy sdk 8.1.3 to compile the folder back to .rpa and the older version of renpy on the milfy city 1.0e doesn't support the new pickle protocol,
pickle is a python library btw

Waste of time/bandwith for a very low benefit...

The images is a little sharper so it's a nice little upgrade.

firsttry51, if you need to replace the Ren'Py files, you might as well just zip them in 1 archive and call it a upscale version. That way people only need to download your version and can skip the Icstor download.

Any plans to upload the 4K version?

Thanks for sharing this.

=================================

OK, since there's no file checking to see if your download is corrupted or not.

You can check MD5 in windows "power shell" by doing this.

Open your download folder where you downloaded the "images.rpa" file to.

Right click on a empty space and find "power shell 7" or whatever version of power shell you have and select "open here"

Copy and paste (or type it out by yourself) this command in power shell window

Code:
certutil -hashfile images.rpa MD5
Wait until it finish checking the file. It could be a long time or it could be very quick, just don't close the power shell window.

Once done you'll see the MD5 check sum come up in power shell window.

Check to make sure it's the same as the Gofile check sum (which is "d7090920ce88f0e69f26da46fc74d04d")

If it's the same then your download is good.

If it's not the same then you have to download it again.

the renpy files that need replacing are only like 20mb, it's just code stuff.

the 4k images didn't fit to screen properly for example

i don't really know much about renpy to make it fit properly

final steam version yes, but i have seen people in this thread saying there will be dlc in the future
You are correct, "e" is the final build as of now. There will be 3 DLC's, last I checked a month back, the first DLC was little over 30% complete, so who knows when the first will come out, let the next 2.

This is with the image in the rpa file right?

It might work correctly if you ran unren on the game and then replace the images in the folder, instead of replacing the rpa file only. But I'm not sure about it.

Most likely this is happening because the milfy city project in Ren'py was created for 1920x1080 screen resolution.
Therefore, when you try to add 3840x2160 renders to the game, they simply do not fit as the project is for 1920x1080.

Unfortunately, i have no other explanation. As well as a possible solution.
It's a pity, because the 4k render looks awesome.

Perhaps there may be some way to сrawl into the game settings and somehow change this option there, but idk :unsure:

I though the release from 3 months ago was just a beta and that in a couple of weeks the full version would be released, what happened lol.

Yea the Sara Horny Call card is positioned in Sara's Classroom. It's balanced high up close to the entrance door.
