I more concerned about the year, not the name of the month. If Duke 1 and 2 sets in 1997/98 years, in DN3D there should be 2000s.

[Hendricks266]

It's a joke calendar. Not a real one. Joke.

[fgsfds]

Why do you think so? I don't see any jokes in the original sprite.

[NightFright]

Speaking of something else:

Can you guys give us maybe a rough picture about what's currently still in the pipeline? For example, I know that Tea Monster (IIRC) is finishing the Polymer HUD pistol. Having full Polymer lighting for either all four or at least the first three episodes would also be pretty cool (that's something for maphacks, as you know). The reason why I am asking is because sooner or later, we should think about an official release again, and it might come in handy to know what is still possible to include before we start wrapping up things.

Also, a good idea might be if someone felt responsible for cleaning up the SVN repository from files we do not need any more, especially the Polymost tiles which are now not used in the defs any more. Optimizations like these would be helpful before a release, too. Of course, there is no need to hurry now, it's just to get a rough idea about what to expect for, let's say, the next couple of months - even though that is probably hard to say given the limited time many of you have.

BTW: It's most likely impossible to meet all the criteria mentioned in the To-Do List for any official release which is supposed to happen this year (if any), so I guess we can pretty much forget about that right now, anyway.

[Jamesfff]

just a quick question: what's up with this?

This is in e4l5 (Pigsty) in the breakroom area (it's the message pointing to the secret exit). When I view this with night vision goggles does the 1.3d redfont "P" get replaced by the default gray brick sprite?

[Roma Loom]

PipeBomb (finished, problems with export), TripMine (started), Tip Hand (probably the same problems with export), Shrinker/Expander (slight skin revamp + specmap work), Freezer (only hipoly mesh yet).

[Micky C]

I won't be able to finish the lights for episode 3 for a while. This year is my final year of high school and everything I do count towards my final mark which I need to get into Uni. Pressure and work is coming from all directions. I plan to knock out a few maps during each set of holidays (two weeks of holiday in 3 weeks, then 3 weeks of holiday about 2 months after that.) So hopefully 4 months?

Does that mean that after high school,you will finaly be able to spend a little bit more time on the hrp and polymer?

and i don't want to be rude,but i know that all of you guys are workin on the polymer and the retextures of some models and that you are busy with schedule,
but when i play duke nukem 3d,it pisses me off to see that some models are still in 2d and not made in 3d,the HRP should be completed before starting to continue on the polymer and retextures,why?Because right now i see that all of you are tryin to solve some problem caused by the polymer and retextures,but you should also complete the models that are not in 3d so that later you'll also be able to solve some more problems,so finish the HRP and then keep on with the rest,because right now,to me,the game doesnt look complete without a HRP completed,thank you for reading this and think about this.

I think some jokes should have been kept (1054/Cucumber, 4449/Lord of the Cockrings, 4376/Say No To Drugs->Dare).

[Master Fibbles]

There is a DARE poster in Duke3d? Episode 4? Man...I need to play that through again some time when I'm not supposed to be writing a paper or some other time consuming task.

[Tea Monster]

I'm working on the Pistol. I'm also re-jigging the Cycloid.

I'm also working on importing the Lunar Overlord that Jean Gorospe did and Movento's Duke model.

I've had a lot of other stuff to deal with so Duke has had to go on the back burner for a while.

The fat commander's model or animation is broken (when dead) since svn231.

[NightFright]

The Commander was one of the models which got converted from md2 to md3. Maybe empyrock can take a look at that. If not, maybe someone else can figure out what is wrong there?

*EDIT*
Fix from empyrock included with svn build 238.

Chaigun muzzleflash and unified rpg model (you can delete 2544_rpg_muzzle).

Committed with SVN rev. #239.

[Spiker]

It looks fine. But the right-most chaingun muzzle flash seems to be off at times because it's too much to the right.

[Hendricks266]

That may be a problem with the original game's HUD drawing code and not the highres texture. Compare it in 8-bit. I remember the chaingun muzzleflashes always being a bit wonky.

[fgsfds]

Original sprite looks the same. Anyway, these muzzles looks crappy, maybe someone will make it better.

[Master Fibbles]

Needs more transparency.

Just press space to skip the texture loading.

Does it still load all the textures if you do that though?

[Micky C]

Yes, all it does is postpone the loading until you see the textures in question. This means that you might have a bit of lag at the start of the level when you first see all the textures, and maybe every now and then when you see a new texture, but you should be ok for the most part. You can also disable the preload map textures feature altogether in the renderer setup menu.

[Master Fibbles]

Which is ill-advised, last I checked anyway.

[Micky C]

I just wanted to say I'm back on the maphacks. E1L5 is done and I'm in the finetuning process, it'll be out within 7 days. I've used spotlights as much as possible.




It's mainly the second to last one giving me trouble. I need to optimize that room.

[fgsfds]

Model fixed for polymer, texture used in Dc, and some little fixes.

Nightfright, you deleted textures.def and forgot about normalmap fix for 817 and 818 textures.

Ah yeah, that must have happened since I relocated 1200.png to the decals folder since it is not really a texture. In general, maybe just (also) include a textfile with the defs you actually added or changed. This way, there is also no risk of overwriting files in the SVN repository with partially outdated stuff - even though you seem to use latest def files all the time. It's just easier to see what is different, the lines can still be added to the appropriate def files easily. ^^
