No it doesnt. It's really more of a Doom vibe here (at least in a 2nd shot). Looks good anyway.

Slopes and jumping sections = Doom

For the map I am working on,
Made a new type of TROR sector based platform elevators.

Very simple coding to make them work.

[Micky C]

Nice. Elevators isn’t the word I would use, as that implies you can go from a lower floor to an upper floor, which is impossible for elevators. I’d call them hovering platforms perhaps.

[Zaxtor]

Floor (lava) is a TROR so when you fall into it is instant kill.

true
Yes platform is the real name.


It uses SE 31 and SE 33.

Works fairly to the pistons in the steelmill level of my mod except totally diff.

I was cleaning up one of my backup thumb drives and found some pics of the second map for last year's Quest Town TC. I plan on finishing and adding in this map sometime this year. These are pics of just a few outdoor locations. There are plenty of indoor areas too.

Wow, those look amazing!

[Mark]

Thanks for the compliment.

Yesterday I took another walk down "memory lane" by reading all the posts in this thread from 2012. Its was cool to see how many different people and projects were in the works. Some made it to completion and others sadly not. But it sure was an active year. Kind of sad though when I read about great mods that never were finished.

When I go back and read posts from years ago it sometimes brings a smile when I read that a certain mod is nearly finished but I know now that it wasn't finished until 3 or 4 years later.

I found pics and post from myself that I had forgotten about. Some of them were screenshots taken from my current projects with humorous captions.

I rarely post anything on this forum, so for a change, here's a little preview picture taken of my new map. It's basically a rainy urban environment. Not sure how the gameplay unfolds; hopefully it will balance my bulky architecture.

I think you are on time to make some drawings and plans to help the gameplay aspect, there have been lots of forgetable city maps but a nice gameplay is something that sticks in the mind.
BTW I see you like Bekzinzki, I wonder how a game based on his art would look like. Bosch has some hallucinating art that would be awesome as inspiration as well.

I would love a surreal FPS game in Beksinski's style - or something like Shadow of the Colossus with even more dream-like creatures and environments: massive feminine humanoids walking passively with their heads covered in red velvet and nonsensical organic growths.

I really like maps with rain, but unfortunately there are not many. I'll be glad to play your map when it's done.

Gee, it kinda looks like the start of E4L5. Hmm...

It would bw awesome, I think there is more room for a game like that than before with titles like Agony, Scorn or No Man's Sky wich have strong visual styles. Sorry for offtopic but do anyone know more games like those?

Everything there looks good, except...

Spoiler

I hate to say this but I have to do it; those 3D weapon/hand models are very bad designed and animated. The one who made the models did them for free, so we have to be thankful to him, but what about those models from 2006? They are very old now but still look better than the current ones; I think they should be included in the HRP.

[Mark]

Yeah, I have seen over the years a lot of complaints about the pistol and shotgun. I'm not picky and they look good enough for me. But thats just me. I agree the hands and arms in some hud graphics are bad to see in a Polymer light.

Yep, the level of architecture and sector geometry is certainly on par with E4L5

You'd have to find who did them, it was probably more than a decade ago. All the people who used to do the HRP have all buggered off now. Nobody knows where they went.

[Mark]

I thought Spiker had something to do with one of those. He's still around here occasionally.

[Tea Monster]

I checked where I thought the website was originally where you could download them and it went offline years ago.

[Forge]

If anyone has them, it'd probably be LeoD

[Hendricks266]

Polymost-era content has been largely maintained in the HRP SVN with a slight tweak to the root def file.

[MusicallyInspired]

I can't un-see lego hand now.

I couldn't find anything that pre-dates 2012, so the 2006 stuff that is being refereed to probably isn't the same as what's stored in the SVN. I don't think a polymost-override hand is going to look much different than the polymer hand.

Somebody should actually look at the file in -game though, just to verify.

[Tea Monster]

If only someone had kept some of this stuff.

It's not going to be polymer friendly is it?

The oldest hrp releases I have:

LOW RESOLUTION PACK (LRP) compiled by ProAsm July, 2009

Version: 4.1.1 (Oct 3, 2009) by NightFright

SVN build #321 (Mar 23, 2009)

SVN build #300 (Feb 25, 2009)

(polymer) Version 4.2 (Sep 01, 2009) (& update)

dn3d_hrp-27-04-2007.exe

dn3d_hrp-2005-11-01.exe

[Never Forgotten]

I might still have some of the old version, '07-'08 on my external hard drive. This weekend I'll dive into them and see what I can find, I can post my findings if anyone would like. I don't remember ever deleting any of them.

[Perro Seco]

I can't run the HRP in my current computer like I did back in 2006, but the weapon models I was talking are these ones:

Spoiler

These screenshots are from the HRP website, so are they included in the pack? Excuse my ignorance, but as I said I can't run HRP right now, and almost all the videos in YouTube about HRP show the newer and less realistic models.

I also didn't want to say that the new ones must be replaced by the old ones, but maybe letting people choose which pack they prefer. However, I don't know how much work would that imply.

they are very similar to the ones I have with the duke3d_polymost_hrp_override-5.4.674 in my old dukeplus directory. At least it looks like a 'normal' hand & not a lego man appendage.

I run hrp only very rarely. I no longer think it's as simple as dropping a couple zips into an autoload directory and checking a box on the launcher , so I'm not even sure how to install it anymore to check the latest releases.
I'm not too keen on filling up my base game directory with a bunch of def files and other flotsam.
