did you try to increase the anisotropic filtering level? that should make the "blur" distance higher

[William Gee]

yeah someone told me about that last night it fixed the problem http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif thanx anyways http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dopefish.gif

can't you redo the same theme of the old skytexture? I kinda like the way it seems to add detail to the scene in that old render http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Same here...
The low sky res. looks like it has more atmosphere while the high res. sky looks so empty... http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/redface.gif

hmmm I admit the new skybox isnt as "alive" as the old one. I guess it neads more work http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Not sure if that's the effect you're going for...

AMAZING atmosphere here.

[William Gee]

Just thought I would pop into my topic again :P
Well everything on this page is kinda old, im still working on the highres pack for WGR, latest shots can be found on m site.

Although there have been a few more bits added here and there so maybe ill post some more screens later.

ATM the idea is that this should work with the duke3d highres packs so you can add all the 3d modle weapons enimies n sutch after its installed or the other way around.

I Havent worked out how to modle or gotten anyone to modle for me :P Some 3dmole trees/plants would be wonderfull, maybe That can be anather add on after the texture pack is complete.

Anyways Is it ok to use a few of the highres pack textures in it? Level1 used some of the origional textures so they would be needed, of cause I would add credits and im not makeing money out of this or something.

[William Gee]

new screen :P
http://www.bur.st/~duke3d/cgi-bin/yabb2/attachments/lev1.jpg
+ I just made some changes and make some new things like loading screen and opening screen
I also removed all of the stuff that replaces the orgional textures, So otherwords this highres pack is going to require the duk3d Highres pack

ANyways im happyer now because of that the size is smaller and its easy to just add all the origional stuff eg modles enimies textures without having to include them in my WGR highres pack http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hhg.gif

[Boinky]

Damn that is just Damn..

It doesnt even look duke3dish anymore! But not in a bad way!

[William Gee]

Heh yeah, That was kinda my aim when I was making the levels to create a totally diferent atmasphare for duke, But at the same time keeping duke in the play http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Glad you like http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hhg.gif Might post new shot soon.

[NetNessie]

Question though William,

Will you be re-designing parts of your maps, by adding in more sectors to give it a more detailed look, or are you only preparing it for Hi-Res textures?

[William Gee]

Im makeing some small changes and adding a few details to the maps but not a big amount.

[Steve]

That sky looks wonderful http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Damn, I really ought to find how to make those skytextures myself. One question, what's that weird thing I see hanging in the air on some screenshots?

Some UFO thing. That's what it looked like when I played the low-res version of the episode.

[William Gee]

Yeah Its a UFO kind of thing :P

It spins and stuff.

Plays a important part in the map :P

ANyways The pack is getting its first beta test ATM.
If all goes well It might be released soon.

[William Gee]

If I said the highres pack was finished, what would you want? for it to be released on its own? or for me to make lets say 2 extra levels just to make it abit more worth downloading?

[Boinky]

levels http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/love.gif

[William Gee]

No more levels.




































j/k

Im acuraly thinking more on the line of 3 new levels added 2 normal and 1 secret

1 fully Hightech
1 snowy ruin landscape - already started
1 Hightech mixed with temple stuff.

I mean yeah I already wanted these levels in it when I first started WGR but then made it smaller just so It got released http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Well I also wanted a space level but thats not gonna happen cause the textures just dont go with space ive already tryed again once. :blink:

[William Gee]

ok erm nah 2 levels I think.
And 1 new weapon maybe.

Well ive made the lowres version all I need is someone to make the modle of it http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hi,

I've installed the pack, added the .grp from original Duke, tried to launch the game with high-res pack (*with* command options required) and got "Failed to load TABLES.DAT". What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

[Geoffrey]

I for one have no idea, but if it can't find tables.dat why don't you.. add tables.dat? You can find it on your duke cd.

[Dr. Kill]

nice screens, but I think the water and sand textures should be redone. It would look great.
