1) ABOUT

========

Remember "Duke Nukem 3D", the great first-person shooter 3D Realms released back in 

1996? Its cool protagonist, ingame atmosphere, original weaponry and many other 

features make it worth playing even today.

For all Duke fans who want to play the game again in a modern Windows environment 

with 3D accelerated graphics, the Duke3D community has created the High Resolution 

Pack (HRP). Utilizing the amazing skills of various texturing and modelling artists, 

the project´s goal is to replace all textures and sprites with high-res versions, 

optimizing it for latest OpenGL ports.

All you need is the "duke3d.grp" file from your original Duke3D v1.3d or 

Atomic (v1.5) CD-ROM. You can also play with the shareware version available 

over at http://www.3drealms.com/downloads.html . 

Here's what the Duke3D HRP has to offer: 

   - EDuke32 port for Duke Nukem 3D (by TerminX and Plagman, based on JFDuke3D by 

     Jonathon "JonoF" Fowler). Which one is included depends on how well they support 

     the current HRP version. 

     For more info about these ports, check out JonoF's JFDuke3D and the EDuke32 site. 

   - 32-bit high resolution textures with 4-8 times the detail of the original textures. 

   - Models instead of the old sprites. 

While the HRP is still "work in progress" and missing quite a few textures and 

models, you can check the Duke Nukem 3D source code forums for additional content 

or even better contributing something of your own.

The community's goal is to issue a new HRP version once in 1-2 year(s) or anytime 

JonoF comes up with a new milestone of the JFDuke3D port. For the impatient ones, 

NightFright is offering an update pack every one or two months, integrating latest 

forum contributions and fixes into the HRP. You can find these updates over at

http://hrpupdate.duke4.net .

===============

2) INSTALLATION

===============

Installing is easy:

First make sure you have your Duke3D CD in your CD/DVD drive or an existing 

installation of the game. You can also just have the "duke3d.grp" file somewere 

on your system.

Then run the installer (the file you downloaded/got from a friend or whatever) 

by double-clicking it. Then just follow the onscreen instructions.

After installation, you start the game using the shortcut in the Duke3D folder, 

desktop or start menu called "Duke3D High Resolution Pack". Starting the game 

directly will start JFDuke3D (or EDuke32) without textures and models.

IMPORTANT: To see the high resolution textures and models you have to change the 

           render mode to 32-bit Polymost in the "Video Settings" under "Options" 

           in the game menu. Otherwise, HRP content will not work!

It is recommended to run the setup utility in order to set up your video, audio 

and controls for optimum quality and gameplay experience. However, most of the 

settings can be changed with EDuke32 ingame menu as well.

========

3) NOTES

========

----------------

3.1) WIP release

---------------- 

Since this is a work in progress version of the pack which has not been tested 

extensively, there are probably some issues that need fixing. Please let us 

know of any problems with it so they can be sorted out in future versions. Also 

notify us if we are missing any art that’s been released prior to the packs 

release date, even though we have skipped some stuff since we simply did not like 

it, there is maybe some stuff that has been missed to include.

Please also be aware of the fact that we are still missing models and textures

because these have not been remade yet by the community. They will probably

be featured in upcoming releases of the HRP (or updates).

For a full summary of what's left to do, you may have a look at the HRP Wiki

todo-list: http://hrp.duke4.net/wiki/doku.php?id=other:next_hrp_release

-----------------

3.2) Known issues

----------------- 

Although we tried hard to eliminate or avoid any glitches, unfortunately 

some of them could not be removed in this release. Here are those we know of:

- Rarely you will still find props, pickup weapons or the like that are

  clipping into walls, often preventing you from seeing them completely. 

  Maphacks since January 2008 can fix these glitches, so don't hesitate to

  report anything you consider worthy of correcting.

- Slime babe #1323 has a transparency/clipping bug with her hair. Updating

  the model should solve that problem.

- If you use OpenGL texture compression/disk caching in EDuke32, the skyboxes 

  will lose detail, i.e. look more pixellated than intended. This can be 

  especially noticed with L.A. Night skybox (as seen in E1L1) when looking at

  the clouds. Right now, your only choice to fix this is to deactivate texture 

  compression in the menu. Note that this will also deactivate disk caching, so 

  you will have to deal with increased level loading times and possibly jerky 

  framerates in some situations.

---------------------

3.3) Title screen art

---------------------

The front screen is a slightly modified and enhanced version of 3DRealms original

art work used with permission.

-----------------

3.4) EDuke32 port

-----------------

The EDuke32 port is an enhanced version of JonoF's initial JFDuke3D port and

features enhanced mod support together with tons of newly-added code. It is 

released and maintained by TerminX.

For the time being, we recommend using EDuke32 for running HRP because the port 

gets updated much more often and HRP content has been optimized for it.
