| Polymost HRP Override Pack for Megaton | |
| by LeoD | |
========================================== |
| Repository Snapshot >= 5.3.566 | |
========================================== |
|
|
WHAT THIS IS ABOUT: |
------------------- |
This file contains updated data for the Duke3D High-Resolution Pack (HRP). |
It features a modified Polymost HRP for use with the Megaton Polymost renderer |
on top of the default Polymer HRP. |
|
Basically, this means: First get the full HRP 5.3 (r5.3.565), the latest update |
pack (if available), then this file. |
|
It is possible to run the Megaton HRP without this pack, using the Megaton |
command line option -hduke3d_hrp_megaton.def. But this won't work correctly in |
conjunction with certain mods, as well as addons like |
DukeDC, NWinter, and Vacation. |
|
|
HOW TO USE IT: |
-------------- |
|
[ For single player games I highly recommend using the EDuke32 executable and |
the normal HRP instead of Megaton. ] |
|
Drop the HRP Override Pack into the gameroot folder within your Megaton |
installation like the HRP zipfile itself. |
Add |
-gduke3d_hrp.zip -gduke3d_megaton_hrp_override-5.3.565.zip |
to your command line or use the included batch file to play with the HRP |
|
|
KNOWN PROBLEMS: |
--------------- |
The Megaton executable (1.3.2 stable) is based on a rather old JFDuke version |
and therefore doesn't support all Polymost HRP features correctly: |
|
- "animtilerange" and "setuptilerange" are unsupported |
- the maphack system is unsupported and has been disabled in this pack |
- frozen models don't work correctly and have been disabled in this pack |
- skyboxes don't work correctly and have been disabled in this pack |
- pickup models and first person weapon models may (partiallly) disappear |
at certain viewing angles or sector boundaries. |
|
There is nothing that can be done about these issues other than updating the |
Megaton executable's Polymost renderer code. |
|
Except: The DN3DF version of this pack replaces the first person weapon models |
with 2D sprites from "Duke Nukem 3D: Forever" made by Wesker500 aka |
xMobilemux. (Golden skin for pistol pickup by Daniel262b.) |
|
|
IMPORTANT: |
---------- |
This override pack is meant for the HRP v5.3 (=r5.3.565)! |
|
|
Duke in D.C. HRP (v1.62): |
------------------------- |
To avoid a messed up level stat screen, make sure that this override pack gets |
loaded after the DC HRP pack or use the included DC-HRP batch file. |
