Errrr... that's kinda impossible, you know. What purpose would that serve, anyway?

That sounds like a lot of work for something that doesn't really add much to the pack, and that not many people will care about. If the year of release is known, that should be enough to give a sense of the era that the content was released.

[NightFright]

I was able to secure one more last-minute addition to the compilation: This year's "Haunted Nukem" by Duke64Nukem (thanks to him for his permission) also made it in! So we will have two high-quality releases from 2015 included - this one and "TamDuke".

Not to forget Death Drive.

After the launcher checks all the grp checksums, only 6 addons are selectable

you probably need DUKE3D.GRP in the root folder

I have it, Atomic Edition version. I've even tried it months ago in Linux, with no avail.

in grpfiles.cache look at the checksum for your DUKE3D.GRP file. Does it match mine here?

"DUKE3D.GRP" 44356548 850326600 -46280719

If yes, then I have no clue why the addons won't load.

If no, then I think the engine won't recognize your grp file as the true game, it's probably been edited in some way.

The six addons that it will load for you now are stand alone and don't need Duke3d to run.

Spot-on solution, checksum was the problem, replaced grp with a recovered version, and everything runs fine!

[NightFright]

In general, your folder structure should look like this:

[addons]
duke3d.grp
duke3d.rts (if available)
eduke32.exe

With this setup, everything should work. Well, hopefully after 2.0. Right now, there may be some issues.

I see what I can do about Outpost X and DN64 Revisited. For any WGR2 addon it's definitely too late, especially since I dunno if I will even have time to test the original version.

So...no one has tested it? I will be impressed if it works without issues.

[Kyanos]

The original WGR2 was in the first addon release already. A few bug fixes have been done that I thought were going to go into the next release.

[NightFright]

I will still play at least the WGR2 campaign before I release it. That should be enough to see if there is still anything weird going on there.

In other news, I will add two more addons probably, which will be "Outpost X" and "DN64 Revisited". The latter has its permission pending by Duke64Nukem (Sixty Four) still, but I have high hopes. ^^

[Hendricks266]

I've created the necessary patches to get the Duke Hard menu display working smoothly with the new menu code and passed them along to Daedolon for review. I'll need to push a commit to EDuke32 so that properly canceling EVENT_CHANGEMENU by setting return to INT32_MIN results in no animation.

MetHy has fixed whatever Micky C / Abstractech typos were in the mailbox in the first map.

[NightFright]

So actually no con code change will be necessary? Not bad. Should make things easier. If there are any map changes, just bring 'em once they are ready.

No, I made non-trivial changes to dukehard3.con.

[NightFright]

Since we are closing in on the release date, I would ask those who are still working on stuff (Duke Hard and Grins of Divinity) to turn in their fixes within the next 2-3 days at the latest, if possible.

I am now checking the sprite resize fixes along with a playthrough of WGR2 to see if anything still blows up into my face there or not. ^^

[Daedolon]

I need to re-check the goddamn videos but after that I can send you a pack, not just sure if I have time today, but tomorrow, sure.

[Daedolon]

I have the files here, but I think we need to just check that it works before we can pack it.

[NightFright]

Sprite resize bugfixes checked in all affected addons. They seem to be OK everywhere. Found three more sprites in "Infestation in Time" that needed a bugfix (grenade ammo, golden pistol ammo, red slimer egg) and added those.

If you guys have anything that still needs to be checked, just send it.

[Fantinaikos]

The addon compilation has updated the code and fixed several errors left by the original authors, consequently also the compatibility with many mods is increased making them every more entertaining, but many still don't know HOW do it and especially WHAT.

So I created a compatibility list complete with a table which cover all the addons contained in current version, explaining what to do in specific cases. Only Dukeplus and War Of Attrition are in at the moment.

 Compatibility list.txt (8.03K)
Number of downloads: 766

They are enough useful information to be integrated into the addon compilation readme I guess, if there is something wrong you're free to correct it.

Btw, since the festivity It's coming, is possible add at the last moment even Xmas 2015 (2014) with Countdown to Christmas? http://www.mediafire...Xmas_Reload.zip

[NightFright]

I am afraid it's really too late for last minute requests by now, folks. I know that regardless how many addons I add, people will always want more and more. We are past the point of no return by now. After receiving the Duke Hard and Grins patches, it's time to wrap this up. Otherwise I won't be able to keep the Dec 24/25 deadline.

Fernando supplied me with the latest updates for FM3X. The newest version is dated Dec 21, 2015 (even though file timestamps show Nov 18, 2015) and will be included with the compilation.

Other than that, I am currently playtesting WGR2. It looks quite good, no gameplay-related problems. One thing, though. I am not sure if the blue chests are supposed to be visible without Spirit Goggles. This occurs when using model replacements in Polymer (I know, I should use Polymost) instead of voxels. Any idea how to fix this (in case it's not meant to be like that, ofc)? --> See attached screenshot for example.

Model defs are like this:

// Chest (337/342-346)
model "models/chest.md3" {
   scale 16.5 shade 0 zadd -0.1
   skin { pal  0 surface 0 file "models/chest.jpg" }
   skin { pal 20 surface 0 file "models/chest_20.jpg" }
   skin { pal  0 surface 1 file "models/chest.jpg" }
   skin { pal 20 surface 1 file "models/chest_20.jpg" }
   frame { name "FRAME1" tile 337 flags 0 }
   frame { name "FRAME2" tile0 342 tile1 346 }
   anim  { frame0 "FRAME2" frame1 "FRAME14" fps 12 flags 1 }
}
