| 2 | | Polymost HRP Override Pack for Megaton | |
||
| 3 | | by LeoD | |
||
| 4 | ========================================== |
||
| 5 | | Repository Snapshot >= 5.3.566 | |
||

| 9 | WHAT THIS IS ABOUT: |
||
| 10 | ------------------- |
||
| 11 | This file contains updated data for the Duke3D High-Resolution Pack (HRP). |
||
| 12 | It features a modified Polymost HRP for use with the Megaton Polymost renderer |
||
| 13 | on top of the default Polymer HRP. |
||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | Basically, this means: First get the full HRP 5.3 (r5.3.565), the latest update |
||
| 16 | pack (if available), then this file. |
||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | It is possible to run the Megaton HRP without this pack, using the Megaton |
||
| 19 | command line option -hduke3d_hrp_megaton.def. But this won't work correctly in |
||
| 20 | conjunction with certain mods, as well as addons like |
||
| 21 | DukeDC, NWinter, and Vacation. |
||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | HOW TO USE IT: |
||
| 25 | -------------- |
||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | [ For single player games I highly recommend using the EDuke32 executable and |
||
| 28 | the normal HRP instead of Megaton. ] |
||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | Drop the HRP Override Pack into the gameroot folder within your Megaton |
||
| 31 | installation like the HRP zipfile itself. |
||
| 32 | Add |
||
| 33 | -gduke3d_hrp.zip -gduke3d_megaton_hrp_override-5.3.565.zip |
||
| 34 | to your command line or use the included batch file to play with the HRP |
||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | KNOWN PROBLEMS: |
||
| 38 | --------------- |
||
| 39 | The Megaton executable (1.3.2 stable) is based on a rather old JFDuke version |
||
| 40 | and therefore doesn't support all Polymost HRP features correctly: |
||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | - "animtilerange", "setuptilerange" and "tilefromtexture" are unsupported |
||
| 43 | - the maphack system is unsupported and has been disabled in this pack |
||
| 44 | - frozen models don't work correctly and have been disabled in this pack |
||
| 45 | - skyboxes don't work correctly and have been disabled in this pack |
||
| 46 | - pickup models and first person weapon models may (partiallly) disappear at |
||
| 47 | certain viewing angles or sector boundaries. |
||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | There is nothing that can be done about these issues other than updating the |
||
| 50 | Megaton executable's Polymost renderer code. |
||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | IMPORTANT: |
||
| 54 | ---------- |
||
| 55 | This override pack is meant for the HRP v5.3 (=r5.3.565)! |
||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | Duke in D.C. HRP (v1.61): |
||
| 59 | ------------------------- |
||
| 60 | To avoid a messed up level stat screen, make sure that this override pack gets |
||
| 61 | loaded after the DC HRP pack or use the included DC-HRP batch file. |
||
| 62 | |||
