Enhancing Duke's Spritely Appearance part 3

updated tile #4125

[DeeperThought]

Is it just me, or does one arm look a lot bigger than the other?

Its not just you I was thinking the same thing. Though his arm could just be behind him mabey? Pretty sweet anyway.

Nice pics Alexander!

[Radar1013]

makes my tile look like crap. anyway, nice tiles alex

[Western Shinobi]

Much much better Alex. Absolutely perfect.

[gt1750]

Great work, Alexander

Makes me want to re-create something as well

[Piterplus]

Agree with all. Slow motion looks impressive.
Just want to notice that you can make his biceps more "rounded".

4126 Updated:

[Geoffrey]

What did you change? I skipped between the two with irfanview and saw no difference.

[Alexander Filippov]

These are very small changes...

[Alexander Filippov]

^^^^^ 4125-4126 Smooth Updated ^^^^^
Enjoy!

[Besli]

Very great work Alexander Filippov!!

[NightFright]

I agree. It couldn't have been done better. BTW these are also included in latest HRP Update Pack v3.4, even if they only show up in the Ep.4 "Pigsty" level.

[gt1750]

It's been a long time since i contributed to the HRP, so here goes tile 4470:

Great work, gt.

And the issue with the Duke screen is known - basically the same as with many other screens.

Yes, I agree. Nice work!

Shrink ray (1646-1649,1656-1659)

The zipfile has no compression and maintains the HRP structure including def, so it should work if you just put it into your AUTOLOAD folder in your EDuke32 dir.

Go get it here

No connection can be made to the stupid download server for the shrink ray. Know when they solve the problem? Or can it be uploaded to another upload service?

[Hitexture]

At GT1750: Unfortunately the link you have provided does not allow me to download the compressed files. Can you perhaps host in an alternative way or pm me?

[gt1750]

Alternative DL link for the shrink ray:

Hope it works this time

[NightFright]

At long last something else we can remove from the Ep.1 todo list. Nice work again.

How do I make alternate palettes(red skin, blue skin) in GIMP?

I'm no artist and haven't used such editors with frills. But I need to know this because I want to be sure the palmaps will work properly and I will be able to adjust theirs tint.
Spoiler:

show spoiler

1 line: Before processing.
2 line: Alpha channel of a palmap.
3 line: Colorization. It uses the interpolate method(like glowmap).
4 line: RGB channel of a palmap. Greyscale.
5 line: Mixing. It uses the modulate method(like detailmap).

Tile #0658 and #0659 were made by GodBlitZor and they can be found on the first page of the "Enhancing Duke's Spritely Appearance part 2" thread. The reason i'm posting this is becuase these tiles were already made and they are not in the HRP.

[Tea Monster]

I don't know how to do that in Gimp. I actually looked around for you for some online tuts and I couldn't find anything on it!

Make sure you have enough texture untis(see the log for "You have 4 texture units." or something)
I included two palmaps for trooper. Check out the "highres" folder. You can check them ingame in the "examples\pals.map" map. Also study the rendering which is under the spoiler above. You can use gradient instead of solid colors.

I made the palmaps via GIMP but they aren't accurate because I was selecting things by my shaking hands and didn't see the alpha layer(I saw only a tiny preview in the layer window). I'm not complaining. My idea is, they should be redone.
Anyway I don't need GIMP in the near future. Don't worry about this.

Did that, didn't work.

Now got a highres/sprites/projectiles directory in autoload and a projectiles.def in the sprites this sprites directory. I still get the old shrink ray though.

[Radar1013]

Hey, 3D Master. Why don't you just download the HRP Update pack off of hrpupdate.duke4.net

[3D Master]

Because it doesn't contain the shrinkray yet?

[NightFright]

Yes, it does. Was added with last v3.5 update.

#0665 by my wife:

[NightFright]

Your contribution is a nice new addition! Nice work... again! You got a talented wife!

[Radar1013]

Yes! I've always noticed that this texture was still lowres in the game when the HRP used to work in my computer. It really stood out. And now it's done!

[Piterplus]

Agree with above comments, nice work!
Thanks

[Hellbound]

Hey, Roma, your wife likes that bloody stuff, eh? I'm envy that my woman does not

[Besli]

Wow, very nice texture again!
Your wife really has talent!

[NightFright]

I want a wife, too! Does anyone know where I can buy one?

[Mr.Fibbles]

^Mail order bride from Russia? In Soviet Russia, wife buy you.

Looks nice Mrs. Roma.
