[2.0.0] Running Vaca+:

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

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

will be taken care of.





[3.0.0] Important Info:

"  "Duke Caribbean: Life's a Beach 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*!

"  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:

[6.0.0]  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 vacation/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
