It's somewhat sad how Caribbean got all the posts.

Here's a list of all the changes I've made not relating to the HRP.

it would be wonderful if you add Duke's Snowy Adventure II Stolen Weapons

[Skulldog]

What are you waiting for Christmas, Link us man.

[Hendricks266]

@supergoofy:
WTF?

@Skulldog:
Don't be so impatient.

Caribbean is a better add-on pack than Nuclear Winter so obviously people are going to be more interested in that.

That thing he named is a Duke3D mod featuring snowy levels and such but I dunno what it has to do with Nuclear Winter. Maybe it uses art assets from it or something.

Take your time, no rush.

Duke's Snowy Adventure II: Stolen Weapons

Duke's Snowy Adventure II: Stolen Weapons is for version 1.4/1.5. It has 11 levels and the file is 1.8MB in size. The file name is dukesnowyadv.rar. Note: You must have the Nuclear Winter addon installed to play this TC.

Duke's Snowy Adventure II: Stolen Weapons has good level design and gameplay. It uses some of the regular Duke aliens alongside the ones from Nuclear Winter.

Yeah, it's basically a fanmade add-on for NW.

That's probably a million times better than Nuclear Winter itself

[Hendricks266]

Since Shark's Cove is included with Caribbean, I think I can work this one in.

EDIT: Sorry guys, this TC is worse than NW itself. More info why here.

*goes off and plays LostDuke*

[Mateos]

If you need textures...

Just make it optional, what the hey.

Here (HD) snow textures :

If you like them, I'll upload sand textures for Life's a Beach. Where can I found a todo list of missing textures ?

[Hendricks266]

I also found out that zykov eddy's Sonic 3D ripped off an MIDI from LostDuke. Compare RECESSIO.MID, from LostDuke, to INTROM0.VOC, from Sonic 3D.

Go ahead and upload the sand textures.

Good idea about the to-do list. Check the first post in a little while.

Sure, and I'll also define every tile as a shit texture, while I'm at it.

[Hendricks266]

I really like the snow normal map.

[NNC]

I've played this shite a few days ago, and something that spring to my mind what's wrong with it:

1. some places look utterly dull and unfitting to the theme. The map "Land of the forgotten toys" is a clear example of this. Or the starting location of "Christmas Village". Also why there is lava in the start of "Backdoor" level with the fake commanders? It doesn't make sense.

2. THE NEW MAPS DON'T HAVE SOUND EFFECTS! You just play through them and the whole thing is sooo silent. In the outside, some winter sounds should have been made, in the inside, some christmas music...

[Hendricks266]

1. The "fake" commanders are actually a bug. I fixed them for the next version. The pal 4 (totally black) effect is also pretty dumb.

2. Thanks for the idea.

I plan to add map patches for NW alongside Caribbean, but I will have no time for a couple weeks/months.

[NNC]

I'm not sure if those commanders really was intended to be active. Actually you shouldn't fell into that place normally.

[Hendricks266]

Ah, the old "Did they intend it?" argument. The commander art actually has a duplicate frame for the start tile, and they put the wrong one.

It is strange, because there is an alcove with boots inside, but no way to get back up. I recall a thread a while back over at 3DR about how some of the levels appear unfinished. The Backdoor and Christmas Village are the two main culprits.

Well, I think neither of the new levels look finished. And IMHO Christmas Village is pretty fun, definately my favourite from this pack.

[Mateos]

Well, also reported it, but on the other forum. Oh, let me post the screenshots of bugs, could be usefull :

[Hendricks266]

I fixed the frozen snowman one. (Get it? Frozen snowman?) The others I will fix when I make patches for NW's maps.

[Skulldog]

Any news for Duke: Nuclear Winter Plus?

[Hendricks266]

Here's a quick request.



These two tiles are based on tiles #849 and #884 respectively. Using this logo, could someone make these tiles?

[Hendricks266]

v2.0 has been released! See the first post for more details.

Highlights:
numerous CON and 8-bit art fixes
Roland Sound Canvas SC-55 music
Polymer texture support (no new map lights at present)
map patching, fixing numerous bugs and errors

Note: Currently, the new Polymer render does not support disabling models on a per-sprite basis (notmd in maphacks). This may cause certain visual errors while playing. This bug resides in EDuke32, not the pack.

The next major version may very well have optional DukePlus compatibility. Recent discussion on the forums has revealed to me that it could be quite possible to make mutators in the CONs so that NW+ will not have to be updated for every revision of DukePlus. Unfortunately, this will take much effort due to the screwy things done with the Pig Cop tiles that will take extensive map patching (with the help of Mapster32-script), as well as the generally difficult nature of the work.

Hello,

I've a little annoying problem with the new NWHRP... I played the Demo, and when I've closed the game it have frozen on Credits... With an huge lag, I've reached Windows and closed it manually...

How can I fix this?

Thanks

[Hendricks266]

Sounds more like an EDuke32 bug with the handling of the TEN screen (since that feature was hacked in on my request). Did you try pressing Enter/Return?

Yes, tried Enter, Esc, Alt + Tab, Ctrl + Esc... No one worked. I don't get this bug with NW non-demo. Well, I'll just play full one

[Night Wolf]

Does this look alright?
made it look like it was stencild onto the wood
