Huzzah, I am disproved.

Just my 2 cents:

I know 2 bugs that can be fixed:
Wind.voc in the last 2 maps is screwed, plays the ending music instead.
Assault Captains in Market Melee and Alien Remains don't come back after cloaked.

Just more questions:
Is there any chances to see Enforcers instead of "dragons" in places where "dragons" don't fit to the theme (I'm thinking of AR again, and Wavemistress). Also, the level AR had been discussed in the Repository board recently, and I remade a couple of minor things to make it "normal" Duke compatible... it's not relevant to this topic, but that one (also the basements of Wavemistress) really looks better that way. How can you seriously fight against sentry drones with water pistol, or seeing beach babes walking through lava pits?

As for the pistol, shotgun and chaingun, is there any chances to get more "weapony" look and sound to them? Pigcops have normal shotguns, but you fire water at them.

Is there any information about the lost enemy, Iguana Captain? There are some screenshots about him, and obvious references in the game. It would be a better fit than the "dragon" in many places.

Post everything you know/have about this character.

[Hendricks266]

I know about wind.voc. There's not much I can do because the cutscenes are so damn hardcoded. I'll fiddle with it when I get the chance.

The Inflatable Dragons are pretty goofy. I don't think that there are too many technical problems with adding Enforcers, but it would be nice if they had some Caribbean attire. I always thought it was weird that the CE had vacation decor, but the Battlelords didn't.

Should I make it so that beach babes take damage on lava?

Do you mean that I should have the Pig Cops shoot Super Soak 'ems? Or do you mean that Duke's weapons should gain some power? I agree, but I don't want to remove any of them.

I have never heard of Iguana Captains. Were they supposed to be replacements for Enforcers? Please, please send me screenshots and the references to him.

If I get lucky, I might be able to get in contact with Anthony Campiti, \see if anyone still has the source materials, and if it can be released as freeware.

This has been discussed before in AMC:

http://www.amcwebforums.com/smf/index.php?...cseen#msg173011

You can find a link in my opening post, and see some pictures. Telee also posted some pics, but they don't appear unfortunately.

As for the wind.voc, the only thing that can solve the issue is to change the M sprite in those maps to a different sound, which is apparently the original wind.voc. I don't think it worth to screw the cutscene hardcodes.

I think the players' weapons should be stronger, not the piggies' weaker. It's just simply not alright to shoot water at enemy.

The Battlelords indeed need some caribbean look, altough they only appear in hi-tech parts, like sentry drones. In those non-caribbean areas (especially in the last 3 levels) it would be great to see the original weapons/items/monsters.

And as for the lava thing, a couple of days ago Wieder admitted, that the last level was made for original Duke, but later "kludged" into the Caribbean theme. I guess he redesigned the last area, which was IMHO originally a green Battlelord place with abyss sound.

[Jimmy]

Oh man, that guy looks really cool. The original trooper art is awesome too!
Hendricks, if you do speak to Campiti, would you please bug him to release ANYTHING they have that was never put into a product for a build game. I'd love to have these lizard dudes and the original trooper.

[Hendricks266]

Right. As soon as I grab a hold of Joe Wilcox, I'm asking him about Deadly Kiss.

[NNC]

Talking about Joe Wilcox, he was the guy behind Nuclear Winter, and Duke Zone 2 AFAIK. He also made a quite good map called "Monkey Shines". Too bad that map didn't made into a regular add-on, also while I think Wilcox' style is far from perfect, he has a very original style.

Nice, I think you can upload and link it here

[Hendricks266]

frak67, I've tried to let you down softly. The models and textures that you are giving to me are very poor quality. They tend to be handwritten, poorly constructed, poorly planned, and overall, poorly designed. I cannot accept your work.

My advice to you is to keep developing your skills. The path you are headed in your art is not the best one. Try to make your models more realistic, more detailed, and try to actually do things correctly. The models that are currently in my HRPs (mostly by chicken) are the quality of excellence for which you should be striving. Don't be disheartened.

[Jimmy]

I think his model is alright, with a good texture it'd be fine until it's replaced.

[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
Polymer compatibility issues fixed with non-flashing weapons and projectiles

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 Vaca+ 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 Beach Babe, Beach Walker, Seagull, Inflatable Dragon, and Beach Ball tiles that will take extensive map patching (with the help of Mapster32-script), as well as the generally difficult nature of the work.

That's odd. All three of my installed worked perfectly in a test folder.

Give me a listing of what is in your EDuke32 directory.

[Hendricks266]

Oh, shit. Hendricks did it again.

I fixed this problem in my batch files (I encountered it too) but my distribution batch file overwrote the copies used to package it all up.

Here are the fixed batch files. A complete new upload will be available shortly..

Caribbean.bat
NWinter.bat

Delete VACADM*.map from your directory.

[Hendricks266]

[long line of expletives]

Try once more with this new set. (Same links BTW.)

Caribbean.bat
NWinter.bat

Again, delete VACA*.map as well as vacaflag20.h266 from your directory.

Name's gonna confuse people though, you should just call it "Caribbean HRP" or something. Doesn't sound as cool but you'll get less questions about" HEY WHERE R TEH DUKE PLUS FEATURES???" because you know people don't read posts.

William Gee, on Jul 20 2009, 06:43 PM, said:

These are all very cool, but can you not use the word 'PLUS" you know it gives the impression that the mod uses DP, why not use a different/better word.
HRP FULL or HRP 09 or anything not plus.

Hello,

I've downloaded last week the news HRP edition of Vacation, and the console display some errors during the loading. See the attached TXT.

Can I report things that could be changed in maphacks? Few textures or models are well set :/

I'll also make a report for NW, it doesn't start since I've updated it ot the latest HRP...

Ah also, I promised to upload Sand Textures, do you already need them?

Thanks for reading, Mateos.

Here are some animations of chicken's Inflatable Dragon. They look a little weird, but that's because GIFs only support 256 colors, with no antialiasing or translucency.

Nice. that dragon looks hilarious makes a nice ride for a Caribbean level

All those files are in the HRP SVN.

Please report anything that needs fixing. However, check them in both Polymost and Polymer because Polymer does not have the maphack functions implemented yet.

I would like to see your report for NW.

Please upload your Sand textures.

Thank you for the sand and improvement reports.

Something is wrong with NW on your end. Make sure you have no loose NW CON files. In the future, please post NW+ bug reports in the NW+ thread.

The only extracted COn related to NW is NWINTER.CON, 151 Ko; There's 7 CONs in GRP file. I notice it worked before the update to the last version, so it has something to do with extracted files from your package, am I wrong?
