Does it show up if you disable shadows? (r_pr_shadows 0).
If so, try the latest build from the above URL.

You're WINNER! r_pr_shadows 0 in the previous build let the light come on, upgaded to the latest version you just put up there, put r_pr_shadows to 1 and I get the shadowy light goodness. Thank you so much! Muahahaha...!

How did you get the lights to display in Mapster like that though? I dont see any light in mapster.

You have to enter shade preview mode using 'X.

I guess try grabbing a newer build from http://dukeworld.duk...ke32/synthesis/

I set up my own synthesis-like system here. I have to activate the script manually, but it does all the work and uploads the compiled files in a 7-zip archive, roughly ½ the size of zips.

[oakman]

>answered my question earlier<

[Fantinaikos]

What's is the substantial difference between the synthesis and the official polymer build?

[Spiker]

Some screens. I will have to really upadte my maps when the polymer will reach it's optimal state

I haven't done much with my map in the last month or two but with the release of Polymer I figured I would throw in a few point lights to see what they do. Now I'm excited about mapping again. The sky is just filler until I come up with a nice skybox.

Hello everyone, I'm new here but I'm a big fan of Duke and I love the HRP Duke.
I have some trouble with the Polymer and I need you help please.

I've downloaded the eduke32_current zip file. I've unzipped the files and put them in the duke3d HRP folder replacing the ancient files with the new. Then I launched the eduke32 starter, I checked the Polymer box and the "Enable autoload folder" box and I ran the game but the polymer effects don't seem to work, in fact the game is in polymost with only a few polymer lights (burning fires and alien lasers are in polymer lights but that's all). What did I do wrong ?

I've a Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT graphic card so it must work.

Thank you.

The Eduke32.exe and any files with it from the zip don't go in the HRP folder. They should just be put in the main Duke3D folder.
Unless you were refering to the Polymer_HRP.zip?

Any form of non standard lighting such as fires and lasers means you are running it in Polymer. Those afore mentioned light sources (and others) are the only ones that come set up with Polymer, the rest you'll have to add in your self through Mapster32 by placing down certain number sectoreffectors.

See here:

You can however download an already setup lighting maphack for E1L1.map to truely see Polymer with no effort of placing SE's down yourself - check the first page of this thread.

Can someone please help me.
I already posted a topic about this but it seems nobody is replying and i really want to try this baby out.
Like i said, it crashes for me when the level is loaded, i only see a frame of the map and then it just crashes back to the desktop.

Here is my Logfile :

Try a newer build: http://dukeworld.duk...ke32/synthesis/
Also, use the `glinfo` command in the console before reproducing the crash and re-attach the resulting logfile, please.

Thanks for your help but it didn't work.
Anyways, about that glinfo command, i cannot use it because it crashes too fast.
It says it's missing textures files in the logfile.

You can use the command from the menu before starting E1L1.

Thank you very much, I've installed the polymer_HRP correctly in the autoload folder and it works amazingly for the first level 1. But as I don't want to put myself the lights effects with mapster, I'll have to wait till a full release of the lighting maphack for all the levels (well I hope there will be one lol).

Anyway thank you mate ! Polymer looks great !

[Splat]

Can't we have a permanent effect like that one those type of textures?

I think it's strange it only looks cool and 3D when fire is near.

You want random red light sources all over the levels?

Without light sources, normal and specular maps will be useless.

[ProAsm]

This is a magnificant developement, well done

Maybe he wants some kind of global light source!

Ok, got another question.
What files exactly go to the autoload folder, i have placed the polymer_hrp in that folder and it doesn't seem to work.
I have HRP 4.0 + Hrp Update 4.11 also in that folder.
And here's my logfile again.. just for the people that missed my previous comment.

hey
for my work I put polymer_hrp uncompressed folder inside the folder c:\duke3d\
and extracts the eduke3d_current.zip in the c:\ duke3d\
ran the eduke32, selected polymer_hrp in eduke3d, activated the polymer and ran
look

Sorry the bad english. I'm Brazilian^^

Thanks for the reply, but i want to have Dukeplus enabled
If you could take a screenshot of your map, i would appreciate that

This zip file is not a "dump it in the autoload and it works" zip file. It's just a snapshot of the SVN in a zip file.

Two Options.

• Extract the contents in the polymer_hrp folder inside the zip to your duke folder. You should get the highres folder directly in the duke folder.
  
• put the contents in polymer_hrp folder into a zip file without compression and put it into the autoload folder.

The folder polymer_hrp should not be in your duke folder or in the new zip file, just the contents of it.

Edit: You don't need the old hrp or the update packs, in fact they will probably just give you problems. The polymer hrp has all the content.

The "n" and "s" name files are surely the Polymer appereance textures. Why this happens?

My guess is EDuke32 isn't lying and those files simply don't exist.

There are still a few warnings like that in the HRP SVN that I plan to look into (maybe tonight).

It shouldn't cause any major problems though.

The _n and _s files are normal maps and specular maps. and yes, they are polymer related.

Normal maps give the 'appearance' of depth with dynamic lighting, and specular maps control the 'shininess' of the texture.
