[Feature Request]: Bilinear/Sharp Bilinear Scaling Toggle Without Applied Filtering To Textures

[ToreiRiri]

Feature Summary:

For Metal Gear Solid
Hi, just wondering if there is a way or an additional way to apply bilinear/ sharp bilinear (integer scaled, then bilinear after) upscaling to the image with the mod without bilinear texture filtering?

Is your proposal related to a problem?

When using the smoothing toggle in game, the mod seemingly applies texture filtering along with the bilinear upscaling.

Describe the solution you'd like

I’m wondering if it’s doable to add a toggle in the config file to adjust scaling type independent of filtering applied to textures. I’m a weirdo for this but I’d love to have an option for when the game scaled from a lower than native monitor res with a softer style of scaling, but without the smoothed out textures that are far removed in appearance from the Playstation original.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Something kind of like this. 2 added toggles in the config file,

“Scaling:
Nearest/ Bilinear/ Sharp Bilinear

Texture Filtering (with smoothing toggle on):
true/false”
they can be left at false by default as I know most people do not prefer the smoothing in either form.

Apologies if this was a bit messy. Thank you all for your time and consideration :)

Yeah - it's something I'm planning to do, but eventually I would like to move as many of the .ini settings into the ingame menus as possible, so it might be ingame if it's not much work (otherwise might add it to the .ini until it moves ingame).
