You have some great normal mapped textures there. I also presume you're demonstrating the new clipshape feature with your models. The Soviet soldiers seem a bit strong though, and there's always so many of them

Thanks, I use the .DDS format for the original texture and .png for the bump map.
This also stops the whole:
Caching "sometexture"
Error: glGetTexLevelParameteriv returned GL_FALSE!
That people seem to get in the eduke32 log using the HRP

EDIT: In the video at 00:56 there seems to be some draw error that only happens in Polymer, I think this maybe due to the way the surface is sloped as I have seen this before in some of the original Duke maps with the HRP.

Yeah, that was in effect. Although I have only given some of the models a basic shape for now and some still have bugs/or don't work in all maps due to the size of the building, e.g. Weapons Factory, Ore Refinery etc

I was playing on Hard aka Damn I'm Good which means that in that map there can be a maximum of 60 Rifle Infantry and 4 Heavy Tanks active at one time. (Maybe this would work best for CoOp)

Do I get it right that you're using clipshapes with buildings? They seem to be a bit ill-fit for that puropose IMO, and as I wrote in the readme there may be glitches when the imaginary sector outline of the model crosses sector boundaries in your map. So, you may have just verified that prediction.

Yes that is correct, but the shapes are very basic. (As the player has no need to go in them)



There has only been one map so far that the clipshape hasn't worked on a couple of buildings, but this is ok as I was not planing on using it. But the other maps seem to work perfect for the big buildings as I have been using rather "big open" sectors where they haven't been overlapping multiple sectors.


Is this in 3D


The only downside to this is that the mod will only work best in Polymer due to the way that Polymost and Polymer render big open areas.
"The player only needs to be able to use/run Polymer, NOT the requirements of E1L1 Polymer+HRP"
In fact you get 2x better FPS in Polymer than Polymost with this mod oddly.

EDIT: I have just updated my SVN, I would be really grateful if anyone here who is running Linux etc can tell me if it works and doesn't have them file name errors.

It is best to play single player with "Red Alert Host.bat" aka command "-server" on TDM mode and monsters/skill set to anything other than NONE, otherwise you fail to respawn and need to restart the level.

Looks insanely awesome. Hope you can stay motivated and keep at it. I should really get back to playing Red Alert. And then the rest of C&C The First Decade and beyond. >_@ Can never get enough of Hell March or its remixes.

ahh the second part of hell march = love!
