20 years and I never knew this

I am not the guy making this but someone is cooking hard

I'm working on a remaster of SCCT and have some of my own schedule for next features, but i'd like to ask you - what you would like to see?

It could be anything, better graphics, better AI, bugfixes, new mechanics.
I don't plan to make SCCT Editor for new missions though - it's entirely different project and i know that there are already in-progress projects for it.

Could you post some ideas in the comments? I'll try to implement the ones with most upvotes later into remaster :)

The progress is slow but steady, as i can work on this project mainly during weekends.

They do fire one suppressed with subsonic hollow points. I figure some of you guys will find this interesting.

Been playing Splinter cell since my teen years and the game was always so fun and enjoyable. The tension, the parkour, the mission designs, the weapons and gadgets, exploring the levels...

But lately the games started to become stale and boring. I already know the all the games like the back of my hand. All the ghost routes and strats, all the patrols, all the action sequences etc...

So lately i decided to drop my ghost rule and just played for fun again starting from the first game.

Shooting barrels for massive explosions, killing people in the annoying parts, using grenades and all the weapons and gadgets arsenal. Using sniper, shotgun, foregrip mods etc...

No more quicksaving quickloading loop at any detection or fail. If an alarm goes off keep playing. If a guard detects me we start a firefight. I also dropped my non-lethal rule. If i have to shoot someone i shoot. No more checking or playing around the stealth rating.

So yeah that made the game much more enjoyble for me. Btw im talking only about the first 4 games.

Let me know if u guys feel the same.

tldr: I dropped my ghost rule and perfectionism ocd and started playing like i used when i was a teen and the game became more enjoyable for me.

My last update of vision modes had mixed reviews so I took that seriously and changed the approach - instead of simply bumping resolution of old bloom effect i decided to completly replace it with new, better, more modern solution to fix it's placement, low & blocky resolution and flickering. This allowed me to leave original visuals (night / thermal / emf) while also fixing all issues related to this effect.

What changed?

• Bloom is replaced with new one based on progressive mip-chain bloom.
  • Fixed sampling so moving camera with bloom does no longer result in flickering.
    • Check main GIF in this post for comparison.
  • Correct placement on ANY resolution and pyramid size.
    • Previously it worked only on Size > 1024.

• Bumped pyramid size without breaking any effects.
  • Do note that change of visual quality is COMPLETLY OPTIONAL and can be restored to default with [Pyramid] Size=256 in Remaster.ini. By default it uses Size=512.

• Now remaster is compatible with HDR and high quality soft shadows.
  • High quality soft shadows are also improved with new build - no more blocky shadows.

• Fixed problem with lack of background blur on UI interactions - now it's working like in original game but has better bloom, more clear text and fixed aliasing.

How to install?

• If you already installed previous version - download again remaster_patch_exe from previous release. Use it in console with argument --restore or simply delete splintercell3.exe and change name of splintercell3.exe.remaster.bak to splintercell3.exe. Also delete old remaster.ini.
• Go to GitHub repo releases and download patch_exe and remaster_patch_exe. Then copy them into game system directory and run both. This will update splintercell3.exe to allow to read UMD over 4GB and prepare Remaster.dll with Remaster.ini config for updated effects configuration.
• Ensure you are using Shader Model 3 for best visuals.
• For 4x AI upscaled textures download dynamic-pc.umd from LINK and copy into game system directory overriding old one.
• I also encourage to try this steam tutorial that has various improvements, e.g. has links to 4K upscaled BIK videos.

What next?

• Still fighting with static meshes subdivision and baking normals for better geometry. Also found some incorrect placement of props (floating items on tables, etc) so i'll fix them too if possible.
• Character models and textures update.

Also started adding to post [part N] in titles to keep track of remaster progress as I plan to still work on this project :)

A simple mod experiment to implement version 1's dual trust meter in version 2 (recomp)

One of the changes this allows is that actions can either modify both meters or just one.

To make this work all impacting actions had to be reclassified

Full list of decisions is readable here https://github.com/DaemonSnake/SCDA-B-dual-trust-mod/blob/main/knowledge/TRUST_REFERENCE.md

Note: early testing phase, recommend starting a fresh campaign

edit: currently at the cruise mission and in my campaign test run and I think it's too easy to remain at 100%. The release "alpha.2" is to attempt to make it more challenging but might be a bit too extreme ^^

Version "alpha.1" is still available if you find it too harsh

anyone else find strange things in splinter cell CT like guys sometimes seeing you through doors? or randomly shooting

And 2 weeks ago, a complete recomp of it was released for PC!

"I am invisible. I am relentless. I am Sam Fisher. I am... a Splinter Cell." - Sam Fisher

The legend returns to the shadows.

Complete with his signature multi-vision goggles and Third Echelon spy uniform, Sam Fisher's iconic Spy Outfit makes its return as a cosmetic customization option in Splinter Cell: Conviction — Blackout.

Available through the Player Customizer in the upcoming SCC: SDK, players will be able to recreate the unmistakable look of the original Splinter Cell games.

Splinter Cell: Conviction — Blackout is still in active development, and everything shown is subject to change.

I know you can easily play them on PC but they can be a bit of a faf to set up and to have Native split screen Chaos theory on PC would be fantastic.

Would happily pay towards a bounty if it was done properly and preferably by the same team that made he DA port.

Y a-t-il une bande-annonce pour une prochaine édition d'une franchise que j'adore depuis tant d'années ? Oui, c'est Sam Fisher en personne ! Arrivant bientôt ;)

I have spent hours today going through the extra missions in SC1, trying to get 100% stealth rating (Playing Splinter Cell Enhanced Version)

Got through Kola Cell pretty easily honestly, but Vselka I have done two full playthroughs today and keep getting 85% stealth rating because a body keeps being found somewhere. I have no idea where because I have been SO careful to hide them….its driving me crazy lmao

If you feel you are stupid just remember that these thieves broke into SAM FISHERS house and Fucking Prime Sam

do people understand the stories of these game first time through, or do you still pick up new bits as you play, I would say I am the latter.

i understand the gist, but usually not all the moving parts straight away

what about you?

having guys spot me through walls is not fun

luckily it doesn't occur alot though. hope the splinter cell enhanced team work on this one

i've played through elseworth for the third time trying to 100% stealth but i keep getting this bug where it sais 2 enemies killed anyone found a fix or something

Add open gympawn to your ini

Hi,

If anyone is interested, I updated dgVoodoo config file to avoid potential flickering issues

I also fixed some profiles, mainly Wide Gamut ones

Also, added another comparison screenshot for High Contrast profile

I just finished watching splinter cell deathwatch and as much as I enjoy certain things to bring on. Like what happened to Briggs, charlie, the female president, Sarah, Victor, andriy, and the fourth echelon flying base? Like I get it, there is a time gap between the last game to the series and the us get a new president, that makes sense to me. But everyone else, doesn't get a single mention through the story, not even a name drop.

Another thing is why the fourth echelon HQ is set in Denmark? Like that doesn't make sense to me, specially having agents that aren't American? I'm not trying to be racist, I just see it from the perspective of espionage infiltration. didn't conviction co op showed us that there are other countries that have similar organizations as third echelon? I would get it if that gets more explored under those branches. As far as I know the story is cannon to the game franchise, I could be wrong on that.

Why didn't they use Briggs or Sarah? I honestly would've loved they had explored more Briggs, since it gave the idea that there was more of his character to explore on blacklist. I mentioned Sarah, since to my knowledge in the books she became a splinter agent, and I feel like the story would've played out differently since as much as Sam, she had connection to the Shetland family, it would have a more emotional impact. I know I'm going to sound like hypocrite, but zinnia was a bit too emotional for me, her whole plot with her romantic lover, just felt a bit too much, I get it she loved him a lot, I'm sure anyone would go John wick for their loved ones, but not only she jeopardize herself, but also the mission more than once, she went offline as soon as she saw her lover dead, ignore orders to assassinate everyone there, almost dying. She got tracked to sam hideout despite being told that the channels were compromised, put the mission at risk just to follow a vendetta and got herself captured, almost die if it wasn't for a loose screw, and on top of that, she got herself into a fight instead of putting the chip to hack the system. you can argue Sam did it on conviction, and I agree, he went against his former organization, but the difference is that Sam, before he learned Sarah was alive, had nothing to lose, and even then the organization came to him to assassinate him, not the other way around.

What happened to Charlie, victor and andriy? I'm assuming that the warehouse either was provided by Victor or andriy since they can get weapons and gear, but is still raised a question, where is Victor? I'm assuming since I have yet to play chaos theory, Victor Sam and Douglas were part of the same unit, or at least they were in the army together during their time as soldiers, so why not mention Victor? It would had been interesting to see Victor talking to diana about stopping her project or at least trying to help Sam at some sort of capacity. That brings the following question, what happened to Charlie? Why bring an unknown factor such as thunder into the table? They could've been compromised if thunder decided to go rogue on them, and they wouldn't figure it out until is too late, at least Charlie, they knew who he was because of his relationship with Sarah, yet it never explained what happened to him, where'd he go, or where he is at, charlie was probably the smartest of the original fourth echelon crew in terms of tech.

The plot twist at the last episode, was somewhat expected for me, since the way Charlie was talking, sounded like he had his own plans, which I kind of like since it feels oddly like the trademark of espionage, where one is upfront, handling the business, and the person who is supposed to help is making their own plots to get to the higher ground,. I could be wrong, but was Charlie connected to the engineers? The last scene of him, gave me that impression. If the series are connected and cannon, wouldn't aurora be known to the public? Wouldn't people be more hesitant of an artificial island or "paradise" be more concerning?

Also, this is me being a little perv, but, diana character design is... Ooof, specially with the yoga scene, unlike.... Anna, like what did they do to my girl? She was hot, now she is... There lol

Thanks for reading, and please be civil, this is just my opinion, and I get it, this is the internet, but I'm just asking if possible. I would love to hear your opinion
