Spoiler: Issues

I made Main Menu videos too, but they have a slightly lower visual quality, and are quite a bit larger in file size than the originals. Too large too upload here, in fact.
This is most likely down to me not knowing what I'm doing with video conversion. Here are some screenshots anyway:


My process was:
1. Import .bik into KdenLive, and make edits.
2. Encode as .mp4.
3. Recompress to .bik using RadTools.

Due to not knowing what all the settings do, I encoded/compressed each video using default settings. Again, I'm sure there's a better way of doing this.

this is honestly really cool! i'd use it, but is there any chance you could desaturate the purple screens a little? they look a little blown out

The only thing I changed was the Hue. Saturation remains unchanged from the Vanilla Orange (except for the Bonus missions, which are greyscale).
Bear in mind, ReShade will affect how these look in your game.

i know, i'm referring to the images on the mod page

i'd recommend desaturating the purple ones a little (and saturating the yellow ones to be more in line with the ultor orange and toying with the red, it feels a little tame)
great mod though!
