Thief II Cinematics, filtered to eliminate compression artifacts by ESRGAN and with fps doubled from 15 to 30. Unpack/Overwrite into game directory.
SD Cinematics pack for Thief II with all of it cinematics being filtered by ESRGAN and with fps interpolation from 15 to 30. Sound was filtered and remastered by iTaffer (aka musictaffer).
Original movies were converted to separate frames. Filtered using ESRGAN jpeg artifact remover model (there were a lot of compression artifacts in original videos). When upscaled 4x using ESRGAN manga109 model from 640x480 to 2560x1920.
After that downscaled to 1440x1080, filtered a little for better compression and noise filtering, fps was interpolated from 15fps to 30fps using InterFrame2 Avisynth plugin.
After that 1440x1080 resolution was downscaled to 640x480 filtered images for SD version.
Videos are in original AVI container, video is x264 codec, audio is MP3.
Also I filtered whose interlace artifacts from original vanilla Thief 2 videos (especially in B16, CS10, CS15, INTRO) by deinterlacing videos. For CREDITS german soundtrack was added cause original video was with no sound.
Additional Installation Insctruction:
B16, CS05, CS10, CS16 can be cropped by game engine cause they have black borders so I made a config for cam_ext.cfg file.
Use this settings (find and place/replace them in cam_ext.cfg):
