As I am at work I can't look into the package myself, but I guess there's the video included in the ZIP file, plus a script concerning. Just edit the script which defines this Red Alert vid as default, if you don't find try to delete the video (Make sure to have a backup).

Ok, thanks for getting back to me so quick.
I'll try that.

[Hendricks266]

There is currently no way to "script" animations. There is a stray LOGO.ANM somewhere; delete it.

If you are able to play the game, and beach babes, beach balls, dragons, etc. appear, and Enforcers don't, they were patched correctly.

I updated to the lastest svn. During Install I get an error Msys-1.0.dll missing, and then Sha1sum.exe has stopped Working.
Vista 64 bit.

[Hendricks266]

I added a ton of DLLs, so update and try again.

I also got that and i kept clicking ok.
Apparently that worked.

[Hendricks266]

sha1sum isn't necessary, it's only there for informational purposes. It does two things:

1) Check if conflict-causing original versions of the add-on CONs are present.
2) Determine the GRP's version, if applicable or possible, and verify the GRP's integrity,

[Hendricks266]

I made this new guide to the SVN: How to Download Add-on HRP SVNs

If your current setup follows The Commander's idea of having a separate repository, then exporting it, I highly recommend that you move the actual repository folder (not an export) to match the description given in the instructions, and the batch file will now automatically keep it updated for you, using SVN software if it is installed. (Note: SVN software is not bundled with the pack.)

[Skulldog]

Now It can't fine the Eduke32.EXE or the VACA_PLUS folder.

Am I reading this incorrectly, or does it think your EDuke32 directory is C:\Windows\SYSTEM32?

[Hendricks266]

I'm pretty certain it's a bug in Microsoft Security Essentials from 2007 that will set the directory to system32 when it scans a batch file.

[Skulldog]

Updated svn it works now.

Great!

If you want to do any normal maps or things like that, feel free. Polymer support is always welcomed.

Be sure to optimize your PNGs using this: http://hendricks266....png_optimize.7z Don't use it on normal maps though.

Me and a friend want to co-op duke Caribbean but ran into a few problems. first off, I'm using an eDuke version from 2008 (1.5.0devel 20081230 to be specific) because any newer version, to our knowledge, has significant bugs in co-op which prevent smooth play. We played trough the original duke with HRP just fine.
Installing vaca+ didn't go really smoothly: it couldn't find the files on my CD because I have the dual-release (where D.C. and Caribbean are on one disc). Fixed this problem by copying the SSI files to the vaca+ folder. After installing it I tried to run it but eDuke crashed.

Am I wrong on the eDuke version being the last good version for co-oping? might there be something else?

On a side thing, I tried to unpack the SSI files myself to play vanilla Caribbean but noticed that it didn't unpack vacation.con, preventing me from playing.

I didn't know there was a DC/Caribbean combo CD. If you give me a directory index for the CD (via PM or email), I'll add support for it to the installers. You can do this by typing:

dir /s >C:\dcvacacombo.txt

at a command prompt in the root of the disc. It will create "C:\dcvacacombo.txt".

I don't think there should be anything really preventing use with that old version. Post your eduke32.log file and I'll try to diagnose the problem.

I don't remember the exact setup, but vacation.con is either originally inside the vacation.grp, or it's found elsewhere as game.con. In any case, Vaca+'s CON files take precedence over the originals.

[Da-Huntha]

So I've established that I've been duped long ago, this combo CD isn't real. Nevertheless, here's my eDuke log in the case that it's not related to this questionable installation.

These messages are caused by the absence of the HRP. If you don't want it, don't worry about it. These errors won't harm anything.

Fatal Signal caught: SIGSEGV. Bailing out.

Unfortunately, this is all the information that we get in the log about your crash. It's basically useless, other than saying you crashed.

In any case, the problem appears to be in that old version of EDuke32. Try r1551. That's the last version before TX took a chainsaw to the multiplayer code.

[Hendricks266]

Good news! I just confirmed with Wieder that Jon St. John did in fact record the Caribbean Duke quotes. Expect to see his name patched into the credits in an SVN update of Vaca+ soon.

These are used. Perhaps your script does not check all the available skybox tokens?

Indeed. Looking for "down". I'll add "bottom". The old SWHRP skybox definition style wasn't parsed at all, btw.

Thx. Will add them when needed. Searching for two-letter tokens doesn't feel good although it'd work by grep's -w option.

Hi everyone,

I've got a problem. For some reason, the game keeps mixing up sound files, and plays them in the wrong places

When Duke is supposed to say "I need to find a way over there" in Lost Lagoon, all I hear is an alien screech
When Duke is supposed to say "Hmmm, most interesting" he says "Hmm, book 'em, Danno"
When Duke is supposed to say "Ooh, I hate kiddy rides" he says "Hmmm, looks like I have the call"

I think there might be some more, but this is really out of the ordinary. Could there be something wrong with my sound settings?

Actually, folks, forget I wrote this, I've sorted it all out, I just reinstalled Duke VacaPlus and it now runs beautifully

Everything looks groovy on here, by the way, keep it up and Hail to the king, baby!

Sounds like your problem was caused by the maps not being patched. I'm glad you got it working!
