Why does it have to be a stand-alone flashlight? You can always make it weapon-attached. The pistol sprite already has an unused laser pointer attachment, so it wouldn't look off.

I was even thinking something like HL2 or FEAR where it's never even visible.

Fair enough. I'm working on some unrelated modding stuff today, though.

[Alan]

You could state that the flashlight is a hip-mounted flashlight.

I also am having an issue getting Duke Plus to load with the HRP. The HRP content just doesn't show up. I have the eduke32 folder set up with duke3d.grp, and inside that folder are the autoload and DukePlus folders side-by-side. Is this the correct arrangement?

[CarThief]

I noticed something for a while now with shooters.
They dont seem to aim at enemies, even when i set them to. In this case i was using STARPROJ as set projectile, 120 shots, very fast setup, and 2 shooters sharing the same tag.

Im not sure if it has to do with STARPROJ that it wont shoot monsters, it just keeps aiming at the player or some direction.
And i also think STARPROJ is the only type of projectile that requires that you turn the shooter in the opposite direction where you want to fire, when shooting straight forward without targets being set.

Not a very big problem, the shooter acting weird with STARPROJ, but i never got it to actually track and shoot monsters, it does still react to any visible ones, though.

I'm not too familiar with this polymer stuff, is it like some Open GL renderers for games, that it allows for flexible moving lights without sectors doing anything to create that effect? Like say, in Skulltag for Doom 2.
Edit: Nevermind, found some information about it. Looks just like Open GL on skulltag! This will be interesting, hehe...

That is correct. These are the only possible explanations I can think of:

-You have a -noautoload parameter in the .bat file that starts DP
-You are using a polymer build, and the "enable autoload folder" button is not checked in the startup window
-Your copy of dukeplus.def was modified so that it does not have the include duke3d.def line at the top
-You have turned off models and/or textures in the eduke32 video options (remember DP has its own cfg file, so the fact that those things are turned on in vanilla Duke does not mean they will be on in DP)

Maybe there are some other explanations that I missed. Gee, it's fun to sit here and guess. How about posting your eduke32.log file?

[Alan]

-Using Linux. Looked at the .bat file and used the same startup parameters.
-Nope, snapshot from the website. No point in using the Polymer build if I can't run it.
-Nope, that declaration is present.
-Nope, they're all on.

No log file was produced.

Is that normal for you? Do log files get made when you play a normal non-DP game?

By the way, I've been assuming that the HRP does load when you play without DP. Please confirm that.

I don't use linux and don't know much about it, so naturally I suspect your OS has something to do with this.

Since you don't have a log to post, could you post your dp.cfg?

Don't see any generated, no.

It does fine when run normal.

Perhaps, since I'm running EDuke32 as a global command.

Are you using 1.3 version of Duke? You Need 1.4/5

[Plagman]

Try `eduke32 -game_dir DukePlus`.

[supergoofy]

are you using -game_dir dukeplus command ?

Plagman you beat me by 1-2 minutes

[Moggimus]

Is the computer turned on?

[necroslut]

For me it must have been some junk files in the DP directory, after I deleted it and did a clean install of DP it works again (which I of course should have tried before posting...), maybe it was the def file, I don't know.

Bah, of course thats it!

Ok, actually, I'm pretty sure I don't have any updated version of Duke. are you talking about version 1.4 for eduke or for Duke Nukem itself?, because I ran the eduke that came in the DukePlus.zip.

[Alan]

The difference between 1.3D and 1.4/5 is in the group file.

This is why tech support people often recommend doing clean installs. It usually fixes the problem and it's easier than figuring out what it is.

In this case, it only takes a minute. Just extract dukeplus.rar into an empty folder, add a copy of duke3d.grp, and you are good to go. I would recommend this to anyone who is having inexplicable problems before posting.

That map is nearing completion. DPCBP and a new map by Mia Max will both be included in the next update. There is no release date but I am tentatively predicting it will be around June 1st.

DPCBP is amazing, thanks to its selling point, the DukePlus skycar.

I didn't forget, I purposefully omitted them. If someone is having an unexplained problem, the config files might have something to do with it. For example, a bad Mod Dir setting can make it impossible to save games.

The 'Haunted Castle' map and the DPCBP will probably be the biggest f*** off maps everyone will be playing once the next update is released. I can't wait to play them myself.

Is the DPCBP the same map that I had also worked on, or is it a new one now?

The log is output in the current working directory, usually one's home directory.

I've found that -game_dir only works with absolute paths, and that DUKEPLUS_RESOURCES.zip needs to be extracted in order to work. Also, when EDuke32 starts up, make a note of the addsearchpath statements in the messages window. Only files in those paths will be usable, and the DukePlus folder needs to be one of them.

Alan was talking about getting the HRP to work with DP, he wasn't having any problem with DP itself AFAIK. But thanks for the information. I didn't realize that the resources were not loading in linux because of the zip. The only reason I started zipping them was for the HRP uninstaller, but now I'm thinking it isn't worth it.

I have no idea how that works. I thought EDuke32 only loaded archives that it is instructed to load, which is what happens on my system.

It also automatically loads archives that are inside the selected game directory. At least that's how it works for me and others who aren't using linux.
