Actually mapping in EDuke32 is quite unhealthy due to the heavy impact of hallucinogeneous stuff, shrooms and alcohol upon your nervous system but hell.. we are hardcore duke fans after all.

Yeah, it would probably be even better if Mapster could toggle between 2D and 3D mode without bumping you back to Windows. Maybe it's the HRP problem causing that?

What exactly do you mean? I have had a problem before where I had resolutions and/or windowed mode not the same for 3d and 2d mode that caused Mapster to behave what appears to be strangely (but it is acting as you asked it).

[WedgeBob]

Perhaps I may have to invest in a webcam and provide some proof over the weekend... Mapster just crashes whenever I toggle between 2D and 3D modes with maximum settings (1920x1200x32 full screen on both modes, HRP enabled).

LOL

Post your mapster32.log after it crashes.

In the mean time, try running at a lower resolution.

[Mia Max]

I get a crash when running mapster32 in fullscreen modus too.
It happens when I switch from 3D to 2D modus.

Okay, n/m, I just renamed C:\DUKE3D C:\DUKE3DHRP, then just placed in a C:\DUKE3D folder with just the normal EDuke32, and just ran Mapster in windowed mode, and no more crash. I suppose I'll do things that way for now, and maybe just use the HRP to finish up my maps by retexturing, that may work now.

I happened to come across a build of eduke32 with polymer. Now that I already have it, I don't suppose anyone will give me the polymer hrp?

There is no "Polymer HRP", just use the HRP.

[Plagman]

There is a Polymer HRP. You need to check it out using a SVN client from this address: http://svn.eduke32.com/polymer_hrp/
I also zipped a package from a few weeks ago that you can get there: http://plagman.net/polymer_hrp.zip. Note that you can't just use it as a loadable resource in EDuke32, you'll have to unzip it.

[Jimmy]

D'oh. I thought they were going to wait until Polymer was released to start work on it? That's what I read last over at 3DR.

Im checking out that dictionary right now using TortoiseSVN.
I have a old build of EDuke32 with polymer (from april or may) where can I get a newer SVN build?

Hi,
the polymer HRP looks nice so far, but I think 2 things are wrong:
- the water texture's parallax map, which should be more flat IMO (parallaxbias 0.0 parallaxscale 0.16 looks good for me), and
- tile #718's parallax map, which looks completely weird for me.. I've made a very simple one with horizontal lines that are blurred (here is the alpha channel). I use "parallaxbias 0.0 parallaxscale 0.01" there.

If those that are in svn right now look right for you, I'll post a pic of what I mean...

[Stabs]

hey guys thanks for posting that video and thanks for polymer, totally kickass

i was just trying out room over room stuff then & WOW! thats more amazing than the lighting for me.

i made the standard room over room and window on second floor and it had its little visual spaz in mapster
but then took it into game with polymer, and it was gone OMG

now i thought the lighting was great but THIS changes everything

room over room support like this in build?
did you sell your soul to the devil?

WHY MUST YOU TAUNT US LIKE THIS.... I SO WANT THIS... SCREW IF IT HAS BUGS... I AT LEAST WANT TO TRY IT OUT....

I think they should be making SVN's of it public by now.

[Stabs]

i wouldnt say its ready just yet

still needs flashing / pulsating light SE's,
some objects still are not dynamic lights
spotlight can do funny things to lighting in other rooms, even if they are not set to shine that far
gun in hud dosnt reflect the lighting around you
some sprites cast shadows that they shouldnt

point lights are good, you can use alot of them without to much of a performance hit but the way lighting hits things can look a bit odd sometimes, sometimes if they have adjacent sectors the lighting will be really dark in one and light in the other, you have to move em / split sectors to make it display right sometimes

and all round genral optimisation, i may be able to run it ok but i have a quad, so the man with a single core isnt going to be having the time of his life with this just yet (or ever) depending how well it gets tweaked up,

i dont think its a good idea to dump this thing out there with crysis-like requirements for a community that enjoys a 13 year old game, and have the devs annoyed with hundreads of emails starting with "this runs like shit etc etc"

[quakis]

Exactly how close can Polymer look like the 8bit Classic mode, without any use of the lighting system? I only ask because it seems to look like Polymer is the only way to use good ROR.

[Stabs]

the lights are only there if you put them there (asides from dynamic lights from gun flashes and fire), you could still make maps as you do and use good ROR, probably only playable in 32-bit mode only though

iam guessing in the more final version you'll have the option of disabling spotlights and dynamic lights from fires and such.

Dude, build has had room over room support since back in the day. The original levels make use of this feature.

[Master Fibbles]

No, the Duke3D BUILD did not have RoR but SoS. Shadow Warrior had real Room over Room.

I thought this is what he meant, my bad. so how does ror work? is it similar to sos?

[Master Fibbles]

Room over Room is what Shadow Warrior used for translucent water and such. Sector over Sector is when you layer sectors but you can't see the sectors from each other.

[Jimmy]

Shadow Warrior didn't have "real" RoR, it was faked, using what is called a stacked mirrors trick.

I found a bug or is it a feature with eduke32 and polymer that can possibly prevent music packs from loading. Please go here to see more:

I hope this helps (if it wasn't known before) with the eventual release.

This is not a bug, this is what it is meant to do. Generally the people that have the Polymer build would know this.

Ah okay. I figured it could be a feature - but could never find any documentation of it on the wiki relating to music. I have added an entry to the installation page which will let others know how to solve this as well.

Bug report:

r1438 compiled ok. no errors or warnings.

but r1438 compiled exe is broken. it doesn't even show the startup window.

oh its way more than the standard room over room, you can get two floors to see each other without graphics glitching

+1 1438 wont work

[AdrianG]

Polymer isn't working for me...just looks like polymost but with brightness/gamma incredibly high in some areas. I'll probably be flamed for the chipset i'm trying to run this with (and probably rightfully so, as it is pretty ridiculous), but hey, it supports SM3.0 and the OpenGL extensions Plagman said were used. I'm not expecting more than a fraction of 1 FPS here but I was at least expecting it to render properly when it finally got around to writing a frame to the display buffer.

It looks like my "card" doesn't support the exact version of an OpenGL extension that is being used. Am I just SOL here? I'm pretty sure my drivers are the latest version, but is this even something that a display driver could update? Thanks in advance.
