Adapting maphacks will take a while. It's not only about adjusting those hacks which are included. Quite some sprites didn't need hacks with the old models before and now they do. Complete playthrough checks will be required, but gladly we are not in a hurry. Before I am not sure everything looks the same with the new models as before, nothing will get into the SVN or update pack.

It took a year, but thanks for getting these done!

Thanks for catching those, since I missed them... but they don't belong in the 180° category.

Yeah, maybe it's really easier like this, at least for the time being. We know which sprites are affected and how, so you only have to make it different for those voxels. In the end, I think voxel users won't mind as long as it looks OK ingame. In custom maps where sprite alignment is accurate there will be problems still, but I guess you have to die one death...

My suggestion for now:
Adjust the affected voxels to the incorrectly aligned HRP models we have now (so that existing maphacks work). As a backup, keep the properly aligned voxel versions for a later time when we have properly rotated models and adjusted maphacks in HRP. Since only a few voxels are affected by this, it will be minimal effort to exchange them at any time. This way, any voxel pack we release at least looks OK right away with existing maphacks.

@ Tea Monster:
The rotated models don't seem to work, at least not with the existing definitions. When renaming them properly and placing them into the correct HRP dirs, EDuke32 prints out this:
Invalid frame name on line highres/sprites/pickups.def:9

If you are able to fix this, don't forget to change the keycard model to 90° rotation CCW (from original angle). :D

@ Tea Monster
Cool, now only the freezer ammo (#37) still gives error messages. It has an animation, maybe that changed the frame names to something different?

BTW, is there a tool which is able to show you all IDs for specific sprites per map? GViewer only shows you coordinates, but it'd be more helpful for checking maphacks to see how many RPGs, Devastators etc there are in each level and what their IDs are for that map. This way, I would also see if there are sprites I might have to add BEFORE playtesting. :D

Yep, that starts at 'AnimFrames00' and goes through to 'AnimFrames10' so: anim { frame0 "AnimFrames00" frame1 "AnimFrames10" fps 100 flags 0 }

I wrote this M32script for you, instructions self-contained:

http://hendricks266....ump_pickups.m32

It may be helpful for you to copy the output portion from mapster32.log into a .csv file and then open it in Excel or Google Docs so you can sort it by picnum. Unfortunately, it would have been much more work to actually list the labels for each picnum but I think it will be OK.

Example output for E1L1:

Thanks, that should help. Anyway, it will not prevent me from having to go ingame and playing through all the levels once more. xD Well, wanted to do it again anyway at some point, might as well be now.

The real pain comes with the huge levels like "Derelict", or even "Smithsonian Terror" in the DukeDC addon. But it only has to be done once, then never again. Will take a while, but when it's done, hopefully something good has happened for modders and map creators. And voxel users. :D

*EDIT FEB 12*
HRP Update 5.1.292 has been released, with correctly rotated models and all-new maphacks which include many fixes that go far beyond adaptation of model rotations. XXX Packs have also been updated, plus the first voxel pack has been uploaded.

Polymost HRP needs help [from Tea Monster, I suppose]:

There are three models (attached) that need a change:
- The shotgun pickup needs to be rotated like the Polymer version
- The pistol pickup needs to be rotated and converted to MD3
- The firstperson devastator model needs MD3 conversion (to get rid of the last MD2 in Polymost HRP)

(I failed to ask empy for conversion of my remaining MD2s while he was still active last year. :D )

Without the rotation the non-Polymer parts of the maphacks would become incompatible and I'd like to avoid learning mapster and going through all the maps for this. :D

BTW, during my playthrough for maphacks adjustment, I saw some stuff I didn't like with most recent EDuke32 build, especially:

> Animation for babe models: These seem to be pretty much broken. Movements look jerky, and something seems to be wrong with looping animations, too (e.g. the pole dancer). What also never worked correctly is the Chinese porcellain babe statue in E3L1.
> Transparency issues: Some models suffer from problems with transparency, especially the hair of the street hooker (e.g. the one in E1L2 bar) or bras removed from babe models with XXX packs.
> Pain animation for Octabrain: If you shoot the Octabrain, it seems to die already even if it only takes damage. Sucks pretty much if you think it's dead and stop shooting it - just to find out it's still alive.
> Shotgun HUD model: This sticks out negatively worse than ever now, a pain to watch and use. But it's nothing new. :D

I think modifications for either defs or models might be a good idea (eventually)... :D

LeoD - Tell me what angles they need rotating to and I'll take care of it for you.

NightFright - You'd either need the originals to fix a lot of that, or it's a problem with the def file. Without examining the models, thier animations and the def file, I couldn't really say, and I unfortunately don't have time to do that at the minute.

From what I gather (I might be wrong on this, but this is what I've heard), the original Shotgun model is OK, it needs it's FOV changed in the def file to reduce the 'telescoping' effect it suffered from. For years everyone said the FOV was screwed on the shotty, then they changed the FOV in the HUD and nobody then altered the def.

The bad FOV is not the only problem with the shotgun. For example double muzzle flash which is impossible to fix with the current model unless you want to get rid of it entirely. The shotgun needs to be remade anyway but it's not possible to make it look perfect at the moment. But if you want to fix the bad FOV you can try to replace the files using my pack. Of course it's Polymer only.

I've just added 4266 to the alien spaceship set, 281 should be easy in comparison with that.

BTW should I upload shotgun FOV fix as well? It definately looks better but some may complain because it works only with Polymer..... But that's a good reason to download LeoD's Polymost HRP if someone uses that isn't it?

Yes, but it's a small texture used on big structures in usermaps. Unfortunately I can't come up with an example right now. :D

Go ahead. Seem that Nightfright already added it. But the majority of users won't see it within the next couple of weeks because the Polymer HRP update has just been published.

EDIT
Tea Monster - shame on me, after sorting it out it appears that the old Polymost models have been correct all the time and there is no showstopper. I'm about to release the new pack to catch up with the Polymer revision. However, I'd be pleased if you could convert the last remaining MD2 models of the Polymost HRP to MD3. (And maybe two more from my Z-pack? :D ). No idea how much work that would be. I won't cry if it doesn't happen.

This texture gave me a pain but even for a sec I didn't think these are worms or anything organic. Actually this texture sucks terribly because most of the time you wonder "wtf is it?" It's good to have it off the list with many much easier textures still being there.

I have done that yesterday already. The shotgun looks so much better with this, it's almost like a new model. Maybe this fix is significant enough to justify a refresh of the update pack, I don't think much stuff will accumulate so soon which would be worth waiting for.

Here are the 'fixed' models.

Pistol is 'none00', Devastator is 'Frame00' through 'Frame03', Piggy seems to have retained his names.

I've put two versions in. One is a straight conversion. The one marked with _r has had an automatic normal fixing pass run on it. Check which one works best.

I like it! Thanks. The tint of this is somewhat greenish whereas the originals tint seems more reddish, but since it's not in the original levels anyway it shouldn't matter. Still can't remember in which of the many user maps I've played recently it occurs...need a replay spree soon.

Btw, what do these specpower and specfactor entries actually do in the diffuse map lines? I guess they don't matter when using Polymost? Working on my packs sometimes still feels like prodding an elephant with a stick to make him move off my lawn. :lol:

As the name suggests they control the specularity so yes, you can get rid of them.

Hrm, animation isn't supposed to act any different in Polymer; I'll check it out. As for the HUD models, we should take advantage of what we have for Polymer and have completely different versions for Polymost if that's really needed. No point in being able to fix the HUD FOV if we can't use that in the end to maintain backwards-compatibility.

Yeah well, right now it is happening what we always wanted to avoid: We split up HRP into Polymer and non-Polymer. OK, it would be hard to have an all-in-one solution since some models simply aren't compatible, but we shouldn't need to issue completely different packs. A small zipfile with some different defs maybe, that would be a great thing. However, I dunno if this will ever be possible. Let's hope that this dual HRP stuff is only temporary and we can find a better solution eventually.

Don't some of the textures in the Polmer pack also have simpler lighting information, which is supplied by Spec and Normal maps? As opposed to the polymost pack which has lighting and stuff baked right into the textures?

Yeah well, we would have to include both Polymost and Polymer textures in one HRP, then you could switch between the sets with def files, I guess. But the HRP would become bloated, then. I guess in the end it's really better to let people choose what they want/need. As long as there are people who can keep the stuff apart, we won't have a problem. :lol:

Yeah well, right now it is happening what we always wanted to avoid: We split up HRP into Polymer and non-Polymer.


And the reason why it is happening is that Polymer is still not optimized and still does not run well for most people. I was against having two different HRPs myself, but after all this time I can't blame people for doing it.


Trying to combine both HRPs into one would be just about the most horrible thing imaginable, not to mention impossible without major source code changes.
