Nuclear Winter HRP
 

Since there are HRPs for Duke Caribbean and Duke It Out In D.C., I decided to start one for Nuclear Winter. It is not out yet, but I have done the "Nuclear Winter" sign on the title screen and the UnDEFs. I am working on the End of Level Screen, which is just the HRP one with a shadow effect and a Christmas tree. The shadow is done, but I can't find any pictures of Christmas trees that have a background that can be made transparent to insert into the picture. Any volunteers to create one? Thanks in advance.

The "Nuclear Winter" insignia is attached.

Here is undef.def:

Nice start for the NWinter HRP.

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

I have a christmas tree model on my HD. I could isolate it and render it to a size, but I am not sure what it is supposed to look like, I do not have Nuclear Winter

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

Here's a screenshot if it'll help. If you "view" it, it'll appear larger:

Correction:
I used to have a model of a christmas tree. I lost it in my backing up stuff. I can make another one though now that I have a pic. It seems that I did not back up that one file, pitty too because it was a very complex scene with lots of poly's and neat effects.

GodBlitZor, 3830 - Naughty is the whole thing, aka billboard, light, etc. Instead of looking like this:

It should look like the attachment below with the Naughty sign instead of the Innocent? sign, but the transparent areas and gradients should be turned white.

I'll just use the 1211 - Innocent? Model with the updated skin.

Ras and Mr.Fibbles, I need a (good quality) christmas tree that has white or multi-colored lights on it with a transparent background so I can add it to the layers in the picture and export it.

P.S. Here's some updated UnDEF code.

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

Before I release a beta, I will need some (more) help. For the Wooden Horse and Palm Tree Sprites in TILES014.ART, I'm probably going to use Piterplus's Tree Top Model and the wooden horse model. There is one problem, though. Almost NOBODY has Piterplus's model yet, and since it is also part of the main game, there's no point to adding it to a Nuclear Winter HRP and adding to file size. Should I just add a set of system requirements in including it?

There is another critical issue with the NWHRP. With the release of the 32-Bit SOB-BOT, I was thinking about requesting a feature which changes Duke to Santa with art that is included in Nuclear Winter for Dukematch\Santamatch. However, somebody (most likely me) would have to write UnDEF code for the incomplete art. The art is incomplete in the fact that the tiles replaced for Nuclear Winter are still there in their normal form, except for Duke\Santa.

Please take a poll on the subject for your opinion on what should be done.

A. Keep Duke in Dukematch
B. Put Santa in Dukematch (Santamatch) with non-Nuclear Winter art
C. Put Santa in Dukematch (Santamatch) with Nuclear Winter art (will require art editing, possibly infringing copyright) and make an IPS patch to patch the art

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

Oops. Sorry GodBlitZor, I thought that your texture was #3658 instead of #3830. I have added it to the NWHRP now.

Anybody want to help?
 

Um, I don't know how to say this, but there needs to be more people working on the NWHRP in order for anything to be done. There are lots of thing to do still.

Does anybody have a high-res Christmas Tree model?

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

I tried playing Nuclear Winter once a long time ago and I remember not liking it very much. Maybe I just got a bad impression from the crappy graphics for the snowmen and stuff (which you are trying to fix, of course) but I have a feeling that it may be more than that. Anyway, unless there are other people around who like NW, you probably aren't going to get much help :(

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

The enemies were the worst in NW. Their graphics style just didn´t fit in, the sprites looked like been drawn by a 12-year-old with rudimentary MS Paint skills... However, this could be compensated by good 3D models. On the other hand, the level design was... well, you can´t compare it with Carribbean or DukeDC, let´s just put it like that. :)

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

yeah that right , Duke Carribean gonna be more interesting to make a High res pack ;) and ..... .... . .. penthouse euh:o :doh: Doh

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

The main problem that I have with Carribbean and NW is they both use modified CONs, so they aren't compatible with other mods (like mine).

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

With a little modifying theyre easily compatible.

Christmas Tree!!!
 

Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news!

I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to GEICO!

:D Not really... but I do have good news!

I finally found a suitable picture of a Christmas tree to put on the end of level screen!

It is attached. I should have the end of level screen complete in a day or two.

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

Here is Tile #3425, Episode 2 (Nuclear Winter) End of Level Screen.

You may notice that it is based off of the Ep. 1, 3-4 screen. I just have it in the defs to undef those and define the other tiles that make Duke animate from Ep. 1, 3-4 to Ep. 2.

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

That looks really bad, no offense. Looks pasted in. Shading is off.

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

Personally, I think the shading is fine (unless you mean that on the floor it's diagonal and in the BG it's vertical), it's just the Christmas Tree that looks bad. If only I had a render of a model that I didn't have to size up it would look better. I have the original attached.

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

Well what I mean is, the tree is in complete darkness and its really bright.

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

The only way to remedy that is for me to get a render of a model with a transparent background.

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

....I take it you use MSPaint?

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

No, actually I use GIMP. Note that I said transparent, MSPaint can't handle alpha channels.

The thing is, this christmas tree (which I got from the Internet) had a black background on it, so I just made it black. The original is different in the fact that the christmas tree had lights on it, and the whole background is black. I could make the whole background black if I got the .psd/.xcf with the layers on it for the standard HRP end of level screen.

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

This is more of what I was thinking. I still have the PSD.

Haha! Evan te plush head crab!

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

I laughed at the plush headcrab as well :D

There is?

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

The Caribbean HRP wasn't really an HRP, it just had the neccessary UnDEFs, a skybox or two, a sand texture, and some other textures that were already in the HRP. No one really did much work for it, plus it'll be hardest because of every enemy being changed, although slightly (With the exceptions of the Ep. 1-2 bosses and the Atomic enemies), plus new hud and pickup weapon and item sprites, with the fact that Duke himself was changed.

GodBlitZor, may I use that texture in the NWHRP?

If the answer is yes, this much is done:

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

Yes, use whatever I've posted
IM still thinking on making the end screen tile even better (Snowy, with a north pole-ish background)

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

Let me know if you want a render with just Duke and barrels or any combination and I'll render it with the other stuff hidden. Can change the ground texture to if you want.

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

Really? Thatd be pretty awesome. Could you actually send me these layers seperately? (Sky, "destruction" [in front of sky], Duke) I think that'll be a big help. Thanks :) Right now, I'd like to have an "evil snowman" for duke to have his foot on(The knocked over barrel), I havent had any luck. :(

That...is perfect. +700 awesome points for you!!!

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

How's it coming?

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

I kind of stopped. Waiting on Parkar. :X

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

Ohh yea, sorry about that. Completly forgot. I'll render it sometime during the weekend.

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

The base of the tree is on a different plane than the floor (I.E. the carpet is tilted too high).

EDIT: Yeah, this is kind of a bump. Sorry.

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

That's just the way the original pic of it was. That's not the final version, anyway.

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

Ah. Just suggesting. ;)

Re: Nuclear Winter HRP
 

Thats true, I'll see what I can do next time
