| 1) ABOUT |
| ======== |
| Maphacks are used to edit the positioning of objects and other parts of a level |
| in cases where the maps cannot be redistributed. These maphacks' goal is to |
| improve the compatibility of user created maps with the HRP or the Voxel Pack. |
| Since there is no central site for map downloads, patching the maps directly |
| would lead to quite some confusion among players about their respective |
| versions. By distributing separated maphacks the original map download archives |
| can be kept unchanged. The maphacks are now part of the HRP, but this pack is |
| updated more frequently. |
| |
| What maphacks can do: |
| - prevent objects from clipping into walls or each other |
| - by rotating them (models + voxels) |
| - by moving their visible representation (not yet implemented for voxels) |
| - turn the front side of objects to the most likely player position |
| - prevent wall/floor aligned decorations from showing up as models/voxels |
| - turn off unintended model animations |
| - tilt objects to align to sloped floors (not yet implemented for voxels) |
| - prevent wall-aligned sprites from flickering (mostly a Polymer issue) |
| |
| |
| 2) INSTALLATION |
| =============== |
| Technically this is like an HRP update pack with maphack additions and |
| updates only - therefore, if your current HRP's (or regular HRP update pack's) |
| version number is greater than ours, don't use this pack. |
| |
| Drop this pack into the autoload folder alongside your HRP (5.4 or later) and |
| you should be done. |
| (Standalone invocation: eduke32 -g UserMapHacks.zip -mh maphacks/maphacks.def) |
| |
| You need a recent EDuke32 executable which has UserMapHacks support |
| implemented - at least r4886 (source r4884). (HRP 5.4 comes with r5267.) |
| |
| Currently users are reporting various issues with recent EDuke32 builds. If you |
| should encounter problems as well, try the r4495 version with backported |
| UserMapHack support from the "Other Stuff" link below. |
| |
| Your eduke32.log should contain one or more lines similar to this after playing: |
| Loaded map hack file "maphacks/usermaps/foobar.mhk" |
| |
| |
| 3) NOTES |
| ======== |
| The main goal is to get rid of the most annoying HRP-related problems of |
| popular (highly rated by reviewers) and recently released user maps. |
| Since the introduction of the Poymer renderer in 2009 and the big HRP model |
| rotation in early 2012 (r5.1.295), even maps which were designed with the HRP |
| in mind need some adjustments. |
| Do not expect a maphack quality comparable to what has been done for the |
| original game's levels, though. No additional Polymer lighting for example. |
| |
| A few older maps make use of tricks which can't be reproduced (yet?) using the |
| modern OpenGL renderers. Some recent maps' README files explicitly state that |
| the respective map is meant to be played without fancy renderers, or the HRP. |
| Remember that these maphacks do not claim to make those maps look as intended |
| if you are using the HRP anyway, but try to fix the obvious glitches as far as |
| it is technically possible. Do not complain to mappers, do not ask them to |
| 'fix' their map if it looks bad when HRPlaying it. |
| |
| Some other maps and episodes come with custom textures. Tiles014.art, |
| tiles15.art, tiles20.art and up, will technically never interfere with the HRP, |
| whereas extensive use of custom textures may look off when combined with |
| the HRP. In case of conflicting ART I may have added a README and/or a ZIP file |
| to explain or improve compatibility. But even if a maphack and further |
| compatibility improvements exist, it's still your decision to HRPlay or not. |
| |
| This Pack is suitable for the Voxel Pack as well, although only the 'angoff' |
| directive (model rotation) works currently on voxels (EDuke32 r8784). |
| But that's the most commonly used correction anyway. |
| |
| |
| You can help: |
| |
| - If you find anything you consider worthy correcting in an already maphacked |
| level, don't hesitate to report it (DNCOORDS!), and which renderer/HRP version |
| you are using. Some models (like the 0603 hangbabe) might need different |
| maphacks and some floor/ceiling aligned sprites may show up different |
| (or not at all) in either Polymost or Polymer renderer/HRP. |
| |
| - You can contribute your own maphacks. Basic information is available at: |
| https://wiki.eduke32.com/wiki/Maphack_Language |
| |
| - If you have a newer version of an already maphacked level, please let LeoD |
| know. (But compare the checksums first.) |
| |

| They will probably get recompiled for HRP with the Addon's maps included (54). |
| They'll become available at the "Other Stuff" link below. |
| |
| Most other GRPs included in the Addon Pack are probably not compatible with the |
| HRP, but they need to be actually checked out, though. |
