Oh, I see you said "palette", in which case my code does the wrong thing. But conceptually it's super-easy.

for i allsectors	// iterate over all sectors, its index will be i in each iteration
{	// a brace; opens a block
	ife sector[i].ceilingpicnum XXX	// if the tile number of sector i's ceiling *e*quals XXX, ...
		set sector[i].ceilingpal YYY	// set sector i's palette number to YYY; no brace needed because only 1 statement
	ife sector[i].floorpicnum XXX	// same thing with floor
		set sector[i].floorpal YYY
}

I hope so!


It is a Gateway GT5228 w/Athlon 64 x2 Dual core 4200+ at 2.21 GHz w/1.87 GB Ram. I just installed Win Xp Pro on a fresh, new WD Caviar SATA 320 GB HD, so it still has SP1 untill I find out why I'm having some errors updating to SP2. BSOD is one problem after installing SP2! Had to do a system restore from before that update to get it to boot to my desktop. Damn Microshaft! I have all the latest graphic drivers as well as DX9c. Also have the latest device drivers for all my hardware, but think I may need to update the bios as a last resort if another SP2 install craps out again.

Why don't you update to SP3 instead of SP2? SP3 is what we are talking here. Don't update to old stuff if you want new stuff to have a chance at starting.
Is there any reason to update to SP2 instead of SP3?

But you were right, as the updated Eduke and Polymer HRP lags that machine too much. I could still run the older version if I want but I ran into a more serious problem....
...I lost the color red! I don't know what the hell went wrong, but lucky I still have this machine to use while I try to figure it out. I suspect it's the on-board video and not the monitor. When the computer is off, the monitor shows a quick test pattern 'r' 'g' 'b' with the correct colors. Damn it!

OEM's like Gateway abhor just sticking a nice, virgin copy of Windows onto a PC. There are usually loads of crappy 3rd party bloatware that goes on. There can sometimes be strange stuff that they have installed to get weird kit they have included working. For example, my Daughter's laptop has a web cam that will work with the installation CD for the laptop, but won't be detected with the drivers from the web cam manufacturer when installed under a vanilla Windows install.

So nuking your hard drive and doing a vanilla install of Windows may solve some of your problems, just be sure you backed up your restore images first!

[Plagman]

Losing a component usually means the monitor cable isn't properly seated.

[SwissCm]

Or if it isn't the cable there could be something wrong with the monitors input processing hardware. Are you using a CRT or LCD and if you are using an LCD does it have DVI and if it has DVI why are you using VGA.

This was a fresh install on a brand new drive. Yea the things that had to be added like OEM drivers for the mobo, SATA controllers, and everything that runs on that nForce chipset like the HD audio and the ethernet controller.

I wish that was the case. I even swapped cables and checked for bent/broken pins. All checked out good and the cable screws are tight.

It's an eMachine E17T4W LCD which only has a VGA port. When it self-tests before the system boots and at shutdown, the colors are correct. Just now as I'm writing this, I opened the monitors OSD while in the desktop and all colors are displayed in its OSD. That's very strange. I will try to get a screenshot of that to show you. Also, color red in my normal display seems to be black. Think it's a software or driver problem? Sorry, this should be in the HW/SW thread as this has gone slightly off topic.

If you looked just the little bit harder you would have found this thread easily enough and saved yourself from making a rather large unneeded post.

Since that is the number one issue with the HRP these days, a thread with the solution in the first post should be stickied.

Is it possible to add 'wide' in .def instructions to support widescreen textures in menu like in proasm SWP?

Hello,

I have a ATI X1900, and I want to set the option r_pr_ati_nodepthoffset manually,
because this looks like what I need. (freeze when a sprite come in sight)

Unfortunately, setting this option, followed by "restartvid" doesn't seem to work, and the flag is reset after the restart : (eduke32.log)

Is there another way to force r_pr_ati_nodepthoffset to 1 ?
Thank you for your help !

As a side note - you won't be hearing the SC55 soundtrack when the file is loaded prior to the HRP because the latter will override 'music.def'. Files in the autoload folder are parsed alphabetically so you will have to rename the SC55 pack in order to be loaded last.

I put all the OGG files in the main Duke directory so they play no matter what.

So when the multiplayer code is finished. Would it be possible to have different character models? Such as insted of playing as Duke you could be a Liztrooper or a Pigcop?

You'd have to ask Plagman or someone to code it, but it should be possible. I was working on some multiplayer models a while back. You'd have to take the models and give them 'Duke' animations, but that isn't too hard. I actually got Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants running around in a level.

Something like prop hunt (tf2 gameplay mode) would be rather fun in duke.

Well if DNF is released and this site continues to be the main hub for DNF fandom, then logically the MP models for DNF would be here.

Question: Which is the safest eduke32 snapshot? I don´t update it from quite a time and would like to try a few things. I don´t really care about polymer nor mp right now so safe means a snapshot that fully works with 8bits and vanilla game (either for mapster or the game itself).

[The Commander]

My suggestion would be to always use the latest one available, and always use the eduke32/mapster32.debug.exe
That way if it "does" crash you can upload the "eduke32.crashlog" which contains a lot more useful information than the "eduke32.log"

If the crash if Mapster related, you can be rest assured that Helixhorned is rather fast to fix/improve it.

http://dukeworld.duk...ke32/synthesis/ (1755 as of this post, I have not encountered in crashes yet)

[Gambini]

I´m more worried actually about game elements not working such as ambient sounds, SE or any kind of AI/weapons functionality malfunction due to new features. For mapster, as long as it doesnt fuck up my files i´m fine with a crash every once.

Yeah. I downloaded that one.

[Danukem]

I don't know what the issues with the latest are, but it doesn't seem any worse than older versions. I haven't noticed any new bugs for a while. Just the old bugs.
