I second that !!!

Thanks, guys. I'm satisfied with it's in-game look, too

[MagNet]

Amazing job gt, we need more of such well done things in the HRP.

[NightFright]

Here's my try to improve Yatta's #1298 FEMPIC3. I have taken the border frame from #1289 and added the TV interlace effect to make it look more similar.
BTW this goes to the highres\textures subdir. Definitions are not included.

#1298 FEMPI3 (0.98 MB):

It's not gonna make it into HRP in this form anyway since no video material can be included.

p.s. did you ever get my PM?

[NightFright]

I did not include definitions because this is stuff that won't be added. It's just something to get work started on the real version.

However, after adding this to highres\textures, you would have to add following lines to textures.def:

texture 1298 { pal 0 { file "highres/textures/1289.png" } }
texture 1299 { pal 0 { file "highres/textures/1298.png" } }
texture 1300 { pal 0 { file "highres/textures/1300.png" } }
texture 1301 { pal 0 { file "highres/textures/1301.png" } }
texture 1302 { pal 0 { file "highres/textures/1302.png" } }
texture 1303 { pal 0 { file "highres/textures/1303.png" } }
texture 1304 { pal 0 { file "highres/textures/1304.png" } }
texture 1305 { pal 0 { file "highres/textures/1305.png" } }

And I did get your PM. To be frank I would rather wait for someone who can do this the real way. I appreciate the effort, but XXX contents has low priority right now, anyway.

[Brother Grabbag]

i understand completely. i just got bored and decided to dick around with it, getting a feel for stuff. maybe soon i can get a little more free time, a few programs, and actually contribute something meaningful to this project. in the mean time, i will enjoy every last thing put out by all you skilled modelers and renderers and what-have-yous, and merely offer my praise or criticism.

[Tea Monster]

GT1750, those new psych blast tiles are absolutely kick-ass!

GT1750... when you mean we won't notice it, I presume you mean - It IS cut off at the bottom but hopefully people won't notice or that it should be fixed in the download???

[gt1750]

It's not noticeable in the game (the frame lasts ~0.1s). I regret posting this exact frame because the others are alright... I just forgot to erase the bottom to make it perfect, but I believe no one is using these as static sprites (except that one in E1L5 which is not cut off)

Well, it is slightly noticeable in game... I got a huge arse monitor and could spot it easily.... just letting you know.

Would it honestly be that hard to fix???

[misfitx]

hey can anyone fetch me the original duke3d tiles? i do not know their number.. and i want to make a revision of them because i do not like the current high res ones..

oh and if i do, what size should i make the revisions at?

[Mr. Pink]

haha nice

[misfitx]

ERR! pardon me! i meant the original duke3d shell casing tiles :Si t was late last night haha

[NightFright]

Revisions (and highres contents in general) should be 4x the original sprite/tile size. In most cases, that would be 512x512. There can be exceptions for high quality models, such as the bosses or specific textures where you couldn´t read small lines of text otherwise. Those would be 1024x1024.

[Killd a ton]

Peakaboo, just dropping by to check up on things, i see the 3 bosses have been finished, gj to all of you.
Sorry that i have been so abcent but life is a big rough around the edges as of latly, hopfully i can return to make some silly props at some point.

[Tea Monster]

Welcome back Killd! Glad to see you back. Don't worry, there is plenty to do yet!!

[NightFright]

Hehe, not much is left on the Ep1. todo list... but you can do anything you like, anyway.

[MagNet]

So is Roma going to finish the shower or not?

[NightFright]

I dunno, but it's a really simple model, so I suppose he should be done with it by now. But there are always unpredictable delays...

[Roma Loom]

erm... I dunno really when... I'm too busy with the modelling at the office... You may start a new from scratch or I can upload mine (it's without uvw map though)...

[MagNet]

I'll rather do my own, that model is a few minute job anyway

[Mr.Fibbles]

if you upload it, someone could UV map it. OBJ format is universal enough.

[Roma Loom]

5char

[zchri9]

yay roma loom finished
oh and while im talking i need a trainer to help me model in blender or ac3d (preferabaly blender)

[Roma Loom]

Ugh.. it's not finished •_• ... it's just a mesh for somone who wants to continue on it...

[Tea Monster]

@zchri9 - Tutorials and resources thread

@ Roma Loom - Thanks Roma. Hey, at least your getting paid for modelling!

EDIT:
Great Blender "Complete Blender 'How-To' in a PDF" by Jim Chronister.

http://www.cdschools.org/54223045235...BCOB=0&C=55205

This was created for High School Students and takes you through all the basics of Blender. It dosen't cover specific Game-related modelling, but it will get you past the "OMFG- What the Hell is all this for?" when you first start up the program. It will take you past the basics and teach you a few advanced techniques. Great to get started with. The nearest thing at the moment to a "Blender for Dummies" book. For further stuff on game modelling, check out the resources and tuts thread.

[zchri9]

thanks tea monster and roma loom that model looks finished because i viewed it but also i think it looks great already im gonna try to colour it lol bibi
(edit) can some one tell me how to set up hrp on a computer that does not support opengl??

Can't be done. OpenGL is a system requirement for the polymost engine.

[Mr.Fibbles]

what type of computer doesn't support OpenGL? I know they have at least gotten it working on Vista, if that is what you are talking about.

[Devan]

Polygonal models support in 8-bit polymost would be fun

[Tea Monster]

I think he means his graphics card won't support it. If you check your hardware vendor, they often did 'software wrappers' that emulated Open GL calls through Direct X. Matrox and Voodoo cards had to use these. If you find one, don't expect stellar results.

Even if you have one of these ancient cards, you can get something much better, even PCI for only a few bucks.

I found this too. I have no idea if it works, and it looks like it is for linux computers.

[Hendricks266]

Here is an updated tile #826 - The Lunar Apocalypse poster. The only change is the addition of the HRP Team logo in place of the empty space supposed to contain the 3D Realms logo.

[alandog]

not bad, but isn't possible to apply aliasing to the text?

[Orna fulsamee]

I might be ready to submit my muzakspeaker..as soon as I get rid of the white box around it....

[Conrad Coldwood]

I've got a window in my schedule... If the todo list is up to date, I may certainly try to redo 640 to 649 (if no one planed to do them). I know it's not that much, but the project seems to chill lately...

What's the problem exactly ?

[WarHammer]

Sounds like a problem with PNG transparency, if I had to guess.

[Tea Monster]

If you can't figure it out, post it and we'll take a look at it.
