A modernisation tool for Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow (2004) on PC. It runs the game properly on current Windows and hardware and adds what the PC port never had. It goes beyond a renderer fix: new HUD, fonts, symbols and weapon models, with more models and textures to come.

What it is

No game files are changed: two DLLs in the system folder, one launcher to install, configure and remove.

What it does

Free

  • Borderless and windowed mode, any resolution and aspect ratio (Hor+ up to 32:9)
  • Fixes for current systems: HUD and menus at high resolutions, mouse input, sound
  • HUD size and layout (original, compact, free positioning per element)
  • SMAA, MSAA, anisotropic filtering
  • Shadow buffers at 2x to 8x resolution, effect buffers at full resolution
  • Modern night vision: fine film grain instead of the coarse noise, lifted darks, soft highlights, a halo around lights
  • Modern thermal vision: a sharp heat image with contours instead of the blur, no edge seam
  • Raw mouse input, 1:1 aim, FOV, controllers off/on
  • Skip intro videos, screenshots (F11)
  • Test keys: F2 win mission, F3 free camera, F4 before/after
  • Settings in-game (F10) and in the game’s own options menu
  • EAX sound via DSOAL/OpenAL Soft

Plus

  • Modern slim HUD. The alarm counter becomes a row of diamonds instead of “0/3”: amber for each alarm raised, the last one framed red and pulsing once it is all that is left. You see the situation at a glance.
  • HD fonts (5 faces), drawn at the screen’s resolution
  • HD HUD symbols, line drawings
  • HUD backing: a stylised dark panel behind the HUD elements, strength adjustable
  • HD reticles for pistol and rifle, drawn at the screen’s resolution
  • Headshot feedback: a short mark at the crosshair (corners, brackets, diamond or pulse) and an optional sound, volume adjustable
  • Quick inventory (Ctrl) with HD symbols and the HD font
  • Sam’s FN57 from Splinter Cell Double Agent: model, texture, slide recoil, the slide locks back on an empty magazine (needs your own copy of Double Agent; select its SplinterCell4.exe)
  • Ambient occlusion, bloom, depth of field
  • Render scale (supersampling), FSR 1.0 and Lanczos upscaling

Experimental

Plus, off by default.

  • Radio call grace: an enemy who spots you radios in, and the alarm goes up when the call ends, about two seconds later. The call can take up to four seconds longer, time to take him out before the alarm.
  • Included and working in our tests, but not yet tested in every situation. Feedback is welcome.

Each comparison below shows the original look first and Pandora Box second, most with a detail crop from both: edges, lighting, reticles, headshot feedback, HUD, inventory and the Double Agent pistol.

Clean edges – Original. SMAA removes the stair-stepping on beams, posts and the fence line. 16x anisotropic filtering keeps the deck planks sharp into the distance. Both free. Ambient occlusion and bloom in this shot are part of Plus.Original

Under the hood

Pandora Box is a 32-bit launcher that places two DLLs in the game’s system folder. The game files themselves stay untouched, and UNINSTALL restores the folder. Rendering goes through Direct3D 11.

Third-party: Dear ImGui, MinHook, AMD FidelityFX FSR 1, SMAA, DSOAL, OpenAL Soft and OFL fonts (see THIRD_PARTY.md).

One download for everyone. With Plus you get the key that unlocks every feature, right next to the download.
