I actually had to look at it twice before I noticed that the chaingun was shaded.

[MusicallyInspired]

I like how he hid the entire HUD. Nice effect.

Plagman that's some sick shit, keep it up!

[High Treason]

For some reason I wonder how cool that would look if the gun and arm had proper height maps and stuff, for some reason I just think it would look cool seeing the light affect the hairs on Duke's arm.

[necroslut]

Wow!!!!

No.

Looks fricking awesome.

[Richard Shead]

Consider my praise added. Outstanding work, Plagman.

[Night Wolf]

Oh hell yes!

That would look awesome.

Interesting question - Is it possible in the new polymer engine to fade from one texture to another (like a gradual transparency) to create a little more realistic map? Soften the edges between gravel and grass etc instead of clear cut texture lines????

You could bind one wall as the reference point like you would an angle (like Alt-F) then maybe have an extra code that contains the fade to (transparent) texture???

Is it possible? We've managed to get normal mapping, high-res textures, spotlights and lighting etc... Could this be done also???

[The Commander]

Yes I would like texture blending as well...

I mean - imagine having proper texture blending like this... Or would it be possible to have wall texture blending also...

I mean - wouldn't \/ that look awesome???

[Gambini]

Engines that feature blending textures, render one on top of the other, then managing the alpha channel of the first you get that ^ result (because the part where the bottom texture can be seen is 100% transparent). I don´t think Polymer is any good at rendering alpha channels at the moment, there are huge translucency problems that should be fixed first. Unless they use another way to make it.

[RazorZ]

Delicious lighting.

But Polymer doesn´t work here...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[Tea Monster]

It's a great idea, but how would you control it? Duke is very 1996 in how it handles textures.


The only way to do it would be to have your wall or ceiling texture be the 'base' texture and your overlay be an applied sprite. Then you have to have the engine somehow make a nice transition between them, possibly via an alpha channel.

Sounds like it would be simple to do in a modern engine, but a huge pain in the ass to get going in Duke.

[High Treason]

I don't think it is feasible in the original levels, but you could create the effect with sprites/custom textures in your own maps, personally, i rather like the straight lines in Duke 3D anyway.

[Roma Loom]

The only possible way to make a texture to texture transition is to add new flag in dn3d wall struct which tells the engine to blend two different textures (sectors) that share this (red-lined) wall via a simple mask that would be just a greyscale gradient. If only there's an unused bit in "cstat" or "extra" value for instance...

Defs for new #3397 textures?

So what's going on with the new shotgun and new shotgun skin?

Not really sure ...
I don't understand how defs work, I just get lucky with random numbers sometimes. :|

sorry I can't be of more help.

[SwissCm]

So is anyone going to add that red font I made a few weeks ago to the hrp svn or do I have to do it? Requires some fiddly .def work since they require that you create dummy tiles due to different dimensions. Also I'm considering making a 8-bit version of the font so if you were to turn off the HRP in game all the menu text wouldn't be white boxes.

[NightFright]

SVN build #142 committed. Changes:

> Added: #211_n/s, 3397_d/n/s;
> Modified: #211;
> Deleted: #707_1/2/7/8, 708_1/2/7/8 (autotint now works fine without premade palettes)

As for the red font... where was it posted, anyway?

[Hendricks266]

If the text is all white boxes, we have a problem. Let me say this once, and hopefully everyone will see it:

Never use dummytile in the HRP. Only use setuptile.

Swiss, wasn't your redfont based on the v1.3D redfont? If that's the case, I would be glad to whip up tilefromtexture conversions of the 8-bit v1.3D redfont for inclusion into the HRP.

However, weren't we going to put Daidoh from the XBLA port into the HRP?

Expect it really soon.
