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 5.4 (r5.4.674), 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-5.4.674.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 (1.4.9 stable) is based on a rather old JFDuke version |
||
40 | and therefore doesn't support all Polymost HRP features correctly: |
||
41 | |||
42 | - "animtilerange" and "setuptilerange" 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 |
||
47 | at 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 | Except: The DN3DF version of this pack replaces the first person weapon models |
||
53 | with 2D sprites from "Duke Nukem 3D: Forever" made by Wesker500 aka |
||
54 | xMobilemux. (Golden skin for pistol pickup by Daniel262b.) |
||
55 | |||
56 | |||
57 | IMPORTANT: |
||
58 | ---------- |
||
59 | This override pack is meant for the HRP v5.4 (=r5.4.674)! |
||
60 | |||
61 | |||
62 | Duke in D.C. HRP (v1.62): |
||
63 | ------------------------- |
||
64 | To avoid a messed up level stat screen, make sure that this override pack gets |
||
65 | recognized after the DC HRP pack or use the included DC-HRP batch file. |
||
66 | |||
