Upper/lower case fix for DukePlus on Linux (r2.35 from 2013-01-05, Fissile Materials site):
(Also takes care of some more warning messages in the log.)
EDIT: download removed. Go here.

Here are mine for a start. (Polymost logs are the same when using the override pack.)

Uh.. I need to remember to remove those "SHGetFileInfo failed with error code" sometime. I had hoped that they would give some information on the failure reason, but I guess it's not that useful...
The PROJ_XXX labels are predefined from CON, so it's unnecessary to duplicate them in user code.
These ones are strange, I'm not sure why they occur:

Fixed in DukePlus 2.35

These occur due to the use of the backslash in the path. Replace by a slash and everything is OK. See my *nix fix above.

@DeeperThought:

How many models do you accept?
I got 11 different models that have 3 MB alltogether.

I just would like to know if this is already too much or if I may add some more.

Mia, Have you these models somewhere on your HD? They could be useful for WGR2

[Mike Norvak]

Double post: Can someone tell me who the hell made this map:




I remember downloaded it from these forums back in 2009 but I can't find the thread. It was named "Small-BattleMap-DukePlus" For the complex sloping style I guess it belongs to Muelsa???

[Mateos]

These models are available on some Quake 3 download websites, can't find the link in the mess of my bookmarks x)
Edit: Found -> http://www.wemakemap...m/mapmodels.htm

Also this one with good props:
http://blackrayne.net/models_1.php

Edit 2: Forgot the main reason I post: they're all in MD3; I used them for Wolfenstein Enemy Territory.

[Mike Norvak]

Thank you Mateos, Gonna check it asap.

[Micky C]

I think those maps might have been done by NerdZilla, he did quite a lot of large scale sloping a while back.

[Mark]

I think you're right. I might have a couple of his test terrain maps laying around on a backup somewhere. I should start the search.

[Bloodshot]

So how would I go about giving the double barrel SG in DP a sprite? My laptop's card doesn't support OpenGL (And Eduke flat out crashes when it's enabled)

I'd like to be able to see more than a black box on my screen. I have a sprite for it, but I just need to know how to assign a sprite to it. Is it already assigned just a blank set of sprites that I can modify myself, or would I have to do something special?

[Fantinaikos]

There seems to be another small bug owing Dukeplus: The first person Devastator model does not show (that one of the BFG replacement when I select the option yes anyway). I also tried the vanilla game, and with that the problem does not occur so i guess it is not a flaw of the override pack.
Almost certainly depends from a wrong/forgotten line into the .def simple to fix.

[splitterface]

hum... i just got the new DP build and installed it but for me it still doesnt work, i get the same like before. when it starts it starts as normal atomic instead of with DP

i did try removing the dp folder i had and then dropping in the new one instead of overwriting my dp folder to see if that helped, and i also tried using the included eduke32 build instead of the latest one, but neither helped.
in both cases when i started dukeplus it still started as basic atomic without DP


EDIT:
just tried making an empty folder, drop in the duke3d.grp and atomic.grp and then unpack the entire contents of dukeplus zip in it and run it, and even then i still get the exact same, when i use nothing except the contents of the DP zip

[Mateos]

What about unpack the ZIP and select DP folder on EDuke32 launch?

Works well here by this way

I think if you want to keep the ZIP, you would have to put it in autoload/duke3d.grp, not sure about that.

Instead of poking around any further, why not post your log and cfg files this time?

[Not DukePlus related:]
Could someone please tell me who invented this

autoload/duke3d.grp

folder and for what purpose? Most people coming up with installation issues seem to have this type of directory structure.

[splitterface]

where would i find these files? cfg file i didnt use, i just used whatever came in the DP zip and nothing else beside the grp files.

where would i find the log file you mean?

Same for me. In the eduke32.log is this:

Error: file "highres/sprites/firstperson/2510_devastator.png" does not exist

And thats correct. That file doesnt exist. I tried to fix with a file which does exist, and a graphic does appear, but a totally messed up one.

Can you please fix that? Because of that I've to pause my "lets play", so I would be very happy if you could fix that somehow

[Mateos]

I checked the HRP SVN, there's several Devastator-related textures in this folder, but bot this one :/ Just FYI; _d, _g, _n and _s.

Maybe to be reported in the main HRP forum thread? Or has it been moved?

[De-M-oN]

I think its a problem with DukePlus, because without DukePlus the Devastator has graphics.

[LeoD]

The problem is that DukePlus did not completely catch up with the HRP changes back in July. First I changed 2510_devastator.png to 2510_devastator_d.png for overall internal file naming consistency which leads to the error message above. Later Hendricks266 changed the MD3 model to fix the firing animation which is incompatible to the devastator definition in dukeplus.def.

The easiest fix for now is to comment the devastator definition in dukeplus.def, starting at line 131. That will give you the usual HRP devastator. I've done this for you in the attached DEF file.

Or get the *nix Fix which will further reduce the warnings in the log.

[De-M-oN]

That helped

I dont know if its a problem or not but further errors in log are these left:

Error: file "highres/sprites/firstperson/2532_cliphand.png" does not exist
clip map "_clipshape0.map": warning: sprite 80 pointing neither northward nor southward. X-flipping will be wrong.
clip map "_clipshape0.map": warning: sprite 81 pointing neither northward nor southward. X-flipping will be wrong.

[Fantinaikos]

I forgot to report another bug: For some reason Dukeplus fails to automatically generate the DP.CFG file as he once did(also the DP_SETTINGS.CFG eventually) and "DP.CFG not found you wanna import the settings from eduke32?" message appears (yea, that one NEVER works for most of the mods), that thing seems affect dukeplus since the latest versions. Personally I always bypassed the problem simply pasting a DP.CFG from an older version in the folder of the new one. I was lucky to keep a DP.CFG, but I think this can make problems for those who have deleted all specific .CFG while updating...

[LeoD]

It does create them for me. Note that if you start DukePlus using dukeplus.bat but do not set the Custom game content directory in the startup window, those files will be searched and created in the PWD and not in DukePlus (specified using -game_dir).
I don't know if this behaviour is new but if it is, that's most likely because of EDuke32 changes then.

Actually I use the.bat and the eduke32.exe custom directory option too, like always i did. Also my .bat use the standard DP lines:


eduke32.exe -game_dir DukePlus -forcegl

EDIT: No wait forget all, it seems that message appear only the first time you play without the .CFG files, then Dukeplus start effectively to generate them. There is no bugs then.

thanx for the nixfix fixes pack leod

i did get dukeplus to run normally by copying my atomic.grp file over to the dukeplus folder and selecting the duke3d.grp file from startup menu of eduke32 but i was going to comment about that i had the same problem with devastator not showing up and getting some errors, but your nixfix completely fixed it

im so happy to finally be able to play eduke32 with dukeplus again now. i stopped playing duke3d cuz i didnt like it as much without DP, but now i can use dukeplus again ive been duking it out all the time again

thanx for the new version trooper dan, and thanx for the fixes pack leod

You're welcome, and I was just kidding in my last post. Maybe.

It's more like twelve months, isn't it? (Unless MiaMax picks up mapping again.)
But please consider applying the NixFix in the meantime. I'm quite embarrassed that I let the devastator issue slip through. Now that my memory has returned I remember that I fixed it for my Z-Pack back then, but since no new HRP release was in sight I finally forgot to leave a note in this thread.

[Micky C]

Mia Max was active on the forums yesterday, so you never know. I imagine he just got burnt out; he was originally going to make 1 Dukeplus HRP level then it bloomed into an episode.

[theunbeholden]

Is there a way to get it working with 25th Century Duke, Imperium and other duke mods that have their own folders? Because you can't put Dukeplus into the autoload folder.
