Wooow. Are we not the fan community of the Rayman series? Aren't we, the fans, discussing why we like or dislike the games we play and how we'd like to see those improve, as per normal conversation? Even talking about imaginary dreams (pleonasm) can make for substantive conversation. In fact, talking about one's wishes and wants can be an incredibly substantive dialogue, as it may tell you more about what you'd like to do with your life later on.

I didn't think I'd ever say this incredibly stupid-sounding phrase, but shut up and let us talk about what we want.

Right...

So, I'd like some clarification, as I stated earlier, the best that can be done with these tools is remastering Rayman 2's textures, unless, as Plum stated, the tools are used merely to extract textures for use as a basis for a ground-up remake done from scratch. So, what was the context of this proposal, former or latter?

I don't know why, but I'm biased towards one-time posters who seem to post something only loosely in-context of the conversation. I always end up smelling a rat. A droidonic, mechanical, electrical rat, that is, if you get my gist.

We don't have it, your best bet is to contact the creator of the tools, MixerX. Though I don't think any of us have been able to retrieve the source code.

As I see that HUD mods was made before, is it possible to make HUD for Widescreen Patch to be not flattened, simply by stretching HUD, and then overwriting it inside files? And then everything should look as in non panoramic version.

That should be possible, though someone will have to calculate exactly how much we should change it's aspect ratio.

There are two ratios in two binaries. 16:9 and 16:10.
It can be even calculated by stretching image from game in 4:3 and then stretch it to 16:9, 10.

Maybe you try exporting 3D models some way and add them?

You can't change the size of the texture, so changing a Hoodlum to a Rabbid won't be possible.

Paint can't edit .TGA files. You can use other picture-edit software though like paint.net etc.

Looks like you didn't get my point in issues topic.
And reshade.exe for the clarification. It's just a an app which copies libraries to chosen destination.
My files which I gave you haven't helped you then? They should. Reshade.exe is not needed when libraries are already copied/injected into the game folder. They were copied by Mediator which cooperates with those libraries, so it's the same, but in Mediator you can also tweak settings of Reshade and these all like Sweetfx, Gemfx etc. When Reshade.exe only copies libraries into your chosen game folder.
If you don't understand something, write mail to me in Polish.
