High-Res Pack XTR

[Tea Monster]

He might have babbed unpacking the files as you will notice he has the model gun and the sprite quick kick.

[NightFright]

I should have read his email more carefully... it actually looks like he downloaded the XTR and put last Update Pack (v1.09!) into it! Meaning: All the old HUD weapons, outdated def files... I think that could be the reason.

[DeeperThought]

Hey TM, I really like your Skycar model, and I was thinking about utilizing it in my mod as an actor (probably as an enemy that flies around and shoots). But one problem I had when I attempted this was that the only part of the model that was solid (i.e.g shootable and blockable) was a small section in the back (near the Skycar's engine). Obviously, the model wasn't designed for use as an enemy, and this makes me wonder if an adjustment to the model itself could make it more suitable for my purposes. What do you think? Could the blocking area of the model be adjusted?

BAN THE OUTDATED UPDATE PACKS! REMOVE THEM FROM ALL SERVERS! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

[Tea Monster]

The back of the model isn't constructed in any particularly strange fashion. It may be a con-code thing ??? Feel free to use the model (its GPL with the rest of the HRP) If any updates to the mesh will help this out, let me know. If you download the model from my site (see sig) you will get a high-res skin with it. I can provide the original .blend file if you need it.

You sound like a Dalek! When did you watch Doctor Who?

[NightFright]

In fact, I already did. Update Pack v1.09 is not available any longer. But I guess I should not have delayed v1.10 for a week... Wonder why I have released it at all! *LOL*

A long time ago, when Tom Baker was the Doctor and it was actually worth watching.

[Tea Monster]

The new one is really good too. It was crap for years and years. This is slightly off topic. Sorry.

If you're referring to the series being played on the Sci-Fi channel that aired in the U.K. a couple of years ago, then I have to disagree. It's mediocre, imo.

(XTR) It's hosted on fileplanet, and though I've registered it don't let me download it...do I have to pay money to FilePlanet to be able to download it? If so, it's really not fare to host it there...Hi-res pack is free and should be downloaded for free...I want hi-res pack

does someone have an alternative link to it?

[NightFright]

You don´t have to pay for Fileplanet, you just need to get a user account which is offered for free (at least it should be). You shouldn´t have any problems downloading it at all!

There is a mirror hosted by Plagman (although it´s zipped and no self-extracting exe). Search in previous posts within this thread for the link or go to my site (signature link). Both files can be found in the "Downloads" section there.

If you scroll down on the FilePlanet page, you'll see they do have free servers, but they are listed underneath the pay servers because they want people to click on the pay servers first for the obvious reason.

I installed the XTR "fresh" (ie: deleted my old 'highres' directory as well as the old hrp and maphack .zip files). I am getting the alignment issues with the devistator & lazer trip wire. Also, the "quick kick" foot (`) is kinda messed up (see attatchment) but the foot works fine when selected as weapon 1.

I'm using JFDuke.

That's the reason. You have to use the EDuke provided in the pack.

[NightFright]

Precisely. I am sorry, but right now, I am kinda forcing you to use eDuke32 with HRP XTR. It shouldn´t make any difference for newbie users. And I don´t quite understand why one would use executables from October 2005 (jfDuke) when there are some dated June 2006 (eDuke32), to be honest.

[Symok]

Meh, TBH I just couldn't be bothered to go download ED when I already had JF, since I had no plans to do any of the more advanced stuff that required it. I'll pull EDuke out of the XTR download file and use it, then.

Thanks for the quick response

[NightFright]

Here´s a new user mystery for you to solve:

Someone plays Duke3D with jfDuke without HRP just fine. However, when using HRP, the textures get messed up: In the player´s vicinity, everything has color, but further away it´s all greyscale with "wrong textures", as he puts it.

I`ll quote the rest:

I dont know if I have installed the HRP right...
But when I installed it, it just was some "programs" that came into a
map... And 2 "things" are in zip. So i unpack these and then the game will
be with textures and models but with wrong textures and like that...

In the "guide" it should be a "program" named like "Duke Nukem 3D High
Resolution package", but that does not exist for me...

And if it is correct, can it be that my graphiccard is a ATI radeon x700.
But I know that my card supports OpenGL.

So what are your 5 cents?

[DeeperThought]

I have no idea what is going on, and it doesn't help that his e-mail is almost incoherent. But as a general observation, it seems to me that the more time passes without JFDuke being updated, the more out of sync it will be with EDuke and the more likely that strange problems like this are going to occur. In the mean time, I guess we should tell people to use EDuke. This won't necessarily solve their problems, but at least it will eliminate one big variable.

[Tea Monster]

He most probably got something in the wrong folder or linked the wrong way. Sounds like a problem with def files if 'wrong textures' are cropping up.

If I were him I would check graphics drivers. ATI 7X series (shudders).

[NightFright]

OK, I guess someone would do this anyway, so I did it...

Based on modifications by PimpUigi, I have changed all stripper model skins so that tassles are removed. Since the strippers only appear in E1L2, the mod will gain you nothing in eps 2-4, so you don´t need it there.

Instructions:
1) Download: http://www.uploadtemple.com/view.php/1152025642.zip (1.3 MB)
2) Rename file to xxx_pack.zip
3) Load as parameter directly after XTR, e.g. /gduke3d_xtr.zip /gxxx_pack.zip

After the other babe models are finished, there could be more XXX-rated stuff...

[Ding Bat]

Download does not work.

[NightFright]

Impossible. It has already been downloaded 23 times, man! Guys wanna see nipples, as it seems...

I will put up the pack on my site with upcoming XTR Update Pack, anyway... next week.

[Ding Bat]

I must have a security issue with MSN.

D/Led with just the IE just fine.

[NightFright]

If anyone is willing to remove underwear from the hooker model and make the neckline lower-cut... hehehe... go ahead (just recently noticed you can see the hooker´s panties when you crouch). This is filthy stuff!

Crying out loud for the slime babes... again!

[Alien Slayer]

I jusst downloaded the hrp pack and i try to start it and it says ..."failed to load TABLES.DAT".....what did i do wrong PLZ help

[TerminX]

You forgot to place the file duke3d.grp from your copy of Duke Nukem 3D into the directory you installed the HRP to.

[Alien Slayer]

thanx

[mental stampede]

I can't seem to figure out how to fix this. Whenever I try to use the SD mod along with the DUKEDC HRP I get hall-of-mirrors in various places.

the parameters I am using at startup are
/gDukedc.zip /gduke3d_xtr.zip /gduke3d_sd.zip /gdukedc_hrp.zip

The game looks fine if I leave the sd mod out though.


Would changing the order of the parameters help?

[Another Duke Fan]

Update your EDuke32 and this will disappear: http://www.eduke32.com/stuff/eduke32...t_20060721.zip

[NightFright]

I´d rather say your SD Duke mod interferres with DukeDC HRP. Make 100% sure you are using

- Duke3D HRP XTR (v1.0), optionally with update v2.0 integrated
- DukeDC HRP v1.32
- SD Duke Mod v1.02 Beta (available on my site)

My guess is you are using an older version of SD Duke mod. These ones didn´t have the corrections for the tiles DukeDC is using. This results in the game being unable to find the DukeDC textures.

That was it. Stupid mistake on my part.

[NightFright]

Since the maphacks thread seems to have been removed, I am posting this here:

I am currently working on a second revision of all maphacks. This includes fine-tuning like rotation of equally-aligned bottles, lying bottles or ammo boxes turned into the wrong directions.
Next Maphacks Reloaded version (v2.01) will probably be the "final word" concerning alignment for all models that have been done yet so that one can fully concentrate on the new models.

Hello,

I downloaded High-Res Pack XTR 1.0 (Jun 14, 2006) and i am using it with
EDuke32 1.4.0svn (Jun 13 2006 14:51:28).

I run the game with eduke32.exe /gduke3d_xtr.zip parameter.

The game runs in a beautiful high resolution ,however i can't see any 3d models. Enemies are still sprites, dukes gun is till 2d. I changed all the settings i could possibly think of (eg.polymost ,etc).

Does someone have a clue what am i doing wrong?

Thanx very much!

Do you use the shortcut that the pack generates to start up the game? In order for the models and stuff to load, you need to load them behind the executable with several switches. If you use a newer different game executable directly to start the game, you might not have all or any of the the switches. If so; you must create a new shortcut for the new executable with the correct switches (which you can look up in the created shortcut).

If you do use the shortcut generated, rightclick on it, check out the properties, and tell us what the line for the program/executable is, including all the switches behind it; someone else might be able to help you onward with that information, or know if something else is the problem.

[NightFright]

Well I dunno if you can already do this in the June 13 build for eDuke32, but anyway:

In your duke3d.cfg, check whether you find a line reading like this:

UseModels = 1

If the 1 is a 0, change that and save the file. You can also do this with the ingame menu (but as I said, I don´t know if that feature already was integrated into that earlier version).

To make 100% certain, get latest snapshot over at http://wiki.eduke32.com/stuff

[WoodenSword]

I used a recent snapshot and it works fine!

Thank you very much!

How about an updated link to those updated juggies NightFright?

[NightFright]

Updated... errr, *what*?
There will be a new Update Pack on November 30, as I wrote in the appropriate thread. I'd rather have a full HRP release ready by then, but if the new drone models don't make it till then...

Oh, and as soon as the new HRP gets out, I will ask TerminX to close or even delete this thread, for there'll never be an XTR release again, only official ones...

[NightFright]

BTW could anyone of you check for a file 0431.png (or jpg) in the highres\textures folder of the XTR?

It's because I just noticed an error warning in eDuke32 when loading the pack, telling me the file is missing. And in my custom build (the one Parkar and I are currently working at), it's really missing - but defined in textures.def.
