I use the Duke Plus from DeeperThought's site (Feb 17 2009)

The first two are the same as the ones Piterplus reported earlier so they are fixed.

I noticed the one in dukeplus.def my self when I looked into those and everything looks ok, the guns animates ok but there is still this warning.

Don't. The DP included with the HRP is more recent.

[Parkar]

OK, found the error in duke plus.

The pistolclip defs is looking for frame idle instead of Frame0. Fixed that one to.

Edit:

This is the line:

frame { name "idle" tile0 2530 tile1 2531 }

should be

frame { name "Frame0" tile0 2530 tile1 2531 }

[supergoofy]

looking forward for the new HRP and Duke Plus

just a question: in the recent rc setup dn3d_hrp-4.0(318).exe, the dukeplus has dpmaps.zip and DUKEPLUS_RESOURCES.zip instead of folders. why?

i used 7zip to unpack dn3d_hrp-4.0(318).exe and check the contents.

Happens with Pal 11, 13, 15, 16, 21 and 23

I took the liberty of fixing that glitch just in time before we were finishing svn #320 installer. It will be included and fixed.

Because that greatly reduces the number of files that the installer/uninstaller has to worry about.

[Parkar]

I've been ******* up the installer while building it a couple of times now but it's comming.

This is with the 320 installer?

I got none of those two when I did my test run. At work right now but I'll take a look and see what went wrong when I get home. Assuming this was with the 320 installer.

[supergoofy]

yes it happens with dn3d_hrp-4.0(320).exe (md5: 6d1548ebd3980079407162d779e2d6a3)

and dukeplus.def isn't updated, it's the same with the one included in 318 installer. actually all duke plus files are the same with those included in 318 installer

[NightFright]

Unfortunately, I have to confirm eduke32.log still gives out the following message with HRP v4 svn #320:

Invalid frame name on line highres/sprites/props.def:1587

It seems to be the car mirror (#4415). Obviously, converting all the HRP models got us into lots of trouble. Even if only one or two models are concerned...

[supergoofy]

in case you forget to fix dukeplus.def again. here is the fixed attached.

[Parkar]

Looked into the problems posted above. Only thing I can think of is that I fixed the files in the exported folder and thus over wrote them when I reexported the svn working copy. I should try and automate the process a bit so it doesn't have so many manual steps.

Anyway building a new installer now with the fixes included this time.

[Piterplus]

Probably it will be good idea to post here fixed md3 files and defs for them (only one md3 for hrp as I understood right), so anybody who knows how to deal with hrp pack structure may apply the fix manually, this avoiding of downloading installer for third time in a row.
Of cousre, if you didn't made any new global changes in hrp this time.

[NightFright]

Here is the final fixed #4415 md3 once and for all (goes to "highres\sprites\props"), no def update needed. Just put this zipfile (2 MB) into autoload dir, it contains the fixed file and svn #321 menu screen (plus readme). This way you can check if it's working right away.

[Parkar]

Here are the new RC

installer

duke plus zip

[Piterplus]

Thanks, guys it works.

Small bug report: texture 2921 is doubled, one - jpg, second - png.

[NightFright]

Hopefully, RC3=Final.

@Piterplus:
I do not see such files in the textures dir. You must be referring to old SVN #320. Parkar confused some builds and such, didn't clean up his svn export dir properly. All this is fixed in the FULL #321 download.

[Parkar]

delete me.

[supergoofy]

For me svn321 it seems working. I didn't use the setup. I just extracted the installer with 7zip. All errors are now fixed. I prefer to do things manually.

I played episode 1 level 1 and episode 3 level 1 with Duke Plus and xxx-pack. Everything is working as it should. Maybe RC3 is indeed the final.

Hi HRP people, maybe someone remember me because i did the 3407 pal 13 and pal 21 that Deeperthought sent to you eventually. Just tested the latest version and i´m impressed about the general quality, almost everything looks better now.

I have just a couple of complains, if you allow me to say: the new vent texture (not the model) is fully solid, when the original one had holes between the bars. The result is that it looks bad in maskwalls for example. There are some things, but i believe the update is for good as never before.

But i´m not here to complain, in fact i´m here to offer my help with some new textures. Without going any further just made the 3407 pal 5 and working on the pal 14 as well.

These textures are quite important since they look totally different depending the pal in use and many maps take advantage of this detail. Im gonna post them right here in minutes.

[gambini]

Ok, here i have them

They look just as the original ones with the respective pal

Note: the pal24 one is already onboard with the hrp but this one is better.

I´m willing to make a new vent tile if you promise to update the package soon

EDIT VERY IMPORTANT: THE TILE IN THE MIDDLE IS THE ONE FOR PAL 14 AND NOT 13. PAL 13 IS ALREADY INCLUDED WITH THE HRP

[gambini]

ok, just finished to work on the vent tile, first i made my own with 3ds but then tryed with modifing the here included and it turned better.

The black between the bars is transparent color

[NightFright]

I used #595 skin texture as a placeholder for the texture-only version. Maybe not the smartest thing to do, but at least something. Still, good to know there is still stuff coming in for future HRP versions...

However, note that #595 has a square shape (64x64), so something like 256x256 would be in order.

[Parkar]

It should be a render of the model from the front rather then the skin of the model. I'll do that when I get home today.


This is also in the wrong thread.

[Piterplus]

If we need 595 as texture, maybe we need 596 as well?

[NightFright]

Wrong thread indeed. And right, both #595 and #596 would be needed.

High Resolution Pack discussion thread

Wrong thread? What a fool i was making of myself!! All this time i thought i was talking about the High Resolution Pack!!! but, no, i were talking in the wrong thread!!

Yesterday i tested the four things in game and they work okay/no issues. But i would like to tweak them a little bit, making the 595 256x256 and changing some color in the bricks textures.

I´m going to post in the CORRECT thread if somebody tells me where is it.

[NightFright]

Textures --> Spritely Appearance thread
Models --> Modelling Project thread
Revisions --> Revision thread

Correct one for your stuff would be "Spritely Appearance".

[Spiker]

eeehh Enhacing Duke's Spritely Appearance?

Yes, I was late hahahah

Sorry, I assumed you knew what went where and just posted in the wrong thread. This discussion would be better suited to the spritely appearance or revision thread. the spritely appearance thread should maybe be renamed once a new part is started. The original post was about replacing sprites with models but turned into a thread about updating the textures as that feature got added hence the missleading name.

[NightFright]

Now, after HRP4 release, it would be a good time to open up new threads at least for textures and models, anyway. Then you could have a better name for the textures thread, too.

[NightFright]

We can now officially announce HRP v4 release. It is identical to the RC3 installer uploaded yesterday. No problems are known, you should be able to fully enjoy the game. Download now!

[Parkar]

Since the media page is kinda out of date on the HRP site anyone feel like taking some new screenshots? Just post them in this thread and me and Nightfright will pick the better ones and update the media page.

'nuff said.

[eddym4814]

Great job guys. I just installed it and played the first two levels of episode one. Looks real nice. This version actually loads and runs faster on my P3 than the previous version. Thanks to everyone for their hard work. Eddy

[skynardlynard]

Thanks you to all the people that put their time and effort into this.

i highly, highly appreciate it!

also, it really looks good too. i notice a huge difference in the way the game feels compared to the previous updates. the mouse is a huge improvement too, its not as 'jerky' as it used to be, thanks!

[NightFright]

Thanks. Next full HRP release should have all episodes finished in full highres. This might still take a while, but since releases only happen every two years, it should be possible to do.

[sajberkg]

I have started my bittorrent client and will seed until the next HRP comes out! Good job guys!

Btw, as far as I understand the XXX_pack is not included in the HRP 4.0 right?

Correct.
