[1.0.0] Installation:

Installation is as simple as extracting the contents of the 7-Zip archive to your EDuke32 directory,

and then running NWinter.bat.  NW+ is compatible with the Duke3D HRP, Update Pack, XXX Packs, 

and Music Pack.





[2.0.0] Running NW+:

This file was made so that you have to change absolutely *NOTHING* within your

existing HRP. All you have to do is run NWinter.bat and all of the grunt work

will be taken care of.





[3.0.0] Important Info:

"  "Duke: Nuclear Winter Plus" is organized similarly to the main Duke3D HRP folder structure.

"  Do *NOT* use maphacks from the original HRP! These are meant for the official

  episodes *ONLY*! Especially since they are named the same!

"  I am merely collecting stuff that pops up in the Duke4.net forums or elsewhere; I do *NOT* claim

  to have created every single piece of art contained within this file! See the

  credits section below in order to see where the tiles came from.





[4.0.0] Change Log:

This is the timeline of when a piece of artwork or other content was added to NW+.



  [4.1.0] NWHRP v1.0 - 2006-09-24

  "  e2l1.mhk-e2l8.mhk:

    · These are all dummy maphacks that exist because the NW maps are named the same as the Atomic ones.

  "  NWUSER.CON:

    · The only changes made to this are for the episode select screen. You have two choices: Santamatch (Ep. 1) or Nuclear Winter (Ep. 2).

  "  NWACTOR.CON:

    · I fixed many bugs in this CON file. One caused an error in the CON parser. All others caused unnecessary slowdowns.

  "  nwinter\undef.def:

    · Undefinitions created to enable viewing of changed content if there is no HRP replacement.

  "  nwinter\copies.def:

    · This is for tiles that have a duplicate of themselves in the extra art (exempli gratia: TILES014.ART & TILES015.ART).

  "  nwinter\screen\menu:

    · 2502-2503 (Nuclear Winter Insignia)

    · 3240-3249 (End of Level Screen)

  "  nwinter\sprites\signs:

  [4.1.1] NWHRP v1.1 (v1.5) - 2006-12-03

  "  e2l1.mhk-e2l2.mhk:

    · These two contain a very small amount of maphacks that I did quite a while ago. Currently, they don't suffice.

  "  nwinter\textures:

    · 3606 (Wooden Desk)

    · 3607-3612 (Various Wooden Surfaces)

    · 3695 (Rubble)

    · 3726 (Wooden Surface)

  "  nwinter\sprites\signs:

    · 3671 (KayWhy Sign)

  "  nwinter\copies.def:

    · Added a bunch of things while I did the to-do list that I missed before.

  "  NWinter.ico:

    · This is the icon that came with NW for the launcher and installer. Use it for the batch file, or whatever.

  "  NWinter_HRP_To_Do.txt:

    · This is the To-Do list for NW+. It will be included with each version. I will not reference updates to it in the Change Log.



  [4.1.3] NWHRP v1.3 (v2.0) - 2007-02-03

  "  nwinter\textures:

    · 3661 (Crate w\ Snow on Top)

  "  e2l1.mhk-e2l8.mhk:

    · I removed the maphack code and replaced it with a note that says that these are only stubs,

      because all of the corrections will be taken care of in the map patching process.

  "  nwinter\textures:

    · 3594 (Crate with "COAL")

    · 3661 (Crate w\ Snow on Top) [Enhanced]

    · 3660 ("SANTA CLAWS" Poster)

  "  nwinter\textures.def:

    · Fixed a really retarded bug in which everything in nwinter\textures wasn't included.



  [4.1.5a] NWHRP v1.5a (v2.5a) - 2007-03-18

  "  I forgot to add duke3d.def, nwinter_hrp.def, e2l1.mhk-e2l8.mhk, NWACTOR.CON, and NWUSER.CON to nwinter_hrp.zip. Fixed.

    ·  At Doom's Gate  by Bobby Prince

  "  nwinter\e2l1demo.map:

    · NWL1 map from NW demo, slightly different

  "  NWUser.con:

    · added episode 1: Nuclear Winter Demo

    · re-added an unused sound effect (416.voc), supposed to be for the ending cutscene

  "  nwinter\textures:

    · 3594 (Crate with "COAL") Redone, because I found the actual font used.

    · 3613 (Black\White Gradient)

    · 3827 (Duke: Nuclear Winter Demo Sign)

  "  nwinter

    · all images have been losslessly optimized

    · normal maps added where applicable

    · 3785 ("MEDIOCRE LINGUINI LAND" [sic]) typo fixed: LINGUINI->LINGUINE.

    · 1956 (Floating Snowman Death Frame) Before, this was a blank tile.  Thanks to Cap'n, he has a new frame!

    · The new babes also receive the same parental lock treatment as their full counterparts.

  "  NWSanta.con & nwinter\nwsanta:

    · Instead of overriding TILES005.ART to make Duke look like Santa, a flag is set to display different tiles.

      · This allows on-the-fly character switching (via the console), and eliminates the MP lookalike bug.

      · Unfortunately, it creates a bug that can only be fixed by undefining the Duke model, or making a Santa model.

  "  NWActor.con:

    · Santa spawns Santa gibs!  Previously impossible without EVENT_ANIMATESPRITES.

    · The snowball has had its "wackplayer" command linked to "state headhitstate" and as such is disabled, due to information from the wiki.

    · For mappers, the gift boxes now spawn the item referenced in its hitag, if there is one.

  "  nwl5.map

    · The commanders at the base of the lava pit are now functional.

    · A nearly-empty jetpack has been added at the base of the pit, so you do not suicide.

    · The floor and ceiling of the crack at the beginning have been changed from a pal 4 rock texture to a naturally all-black tile, #3026, so that the HUD does not go black.

[6.0.0]  So, how can I help? 



First, check the to-do list to see what is done and what needs to be done.  

For the most accurate version, check the website.



Second, check the nwinter/extra folder to see if there is a WIP.



Third, make sure that if you take art from somewhere, check its license first!  

You should also cite any sources you used, especially another HRP tile.



Fourth, do not use any of the original 8-bit art in your final products.  

You may use the art as placeholders, but do not leave it in the final product.  

The exception to this rule is when a complex object (such as an enemy) has not been 

re-done.  It can be added to the interim release version.  However, once a replacement 

has become available, then you must use it instead of the original.



Fifth, make sure textures are exactly 4 times the original size of the tile.  In most cases, 

you should end up with a power of 2 texture (256x256, 512x512, 1024x512, et cetera).  However, 

if the original art has a weird resolution, then you should use the original ×4.  Model skins 

should be power of 2 as well.  It might work better for you if you created the tile in ×8 

scale.



Sixth, post the artwork at the Duke4.net thread.  If you do not have an account, 

e-mail the artwork to me (Hendricks266).  Tell me what you would like to be credited as.



Last, remember to back up your source .psd/.xcf files, and your source models.  It will 

make the above rules much easier. =D
