hum... i just got the new DP build and installed it but for me it still doesnt work, i get the same like before. [...]

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

Quote

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?

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.

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.

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.

[Mateos]

A batch file loading each folder with -j, if I recall correctly?

[Fantinaikos]

I'm having a similar problem, before 2.35 you could play OUT IN DC (or almost any other mod) simply by make a copy of dukeplus folder (renaming it obviously) and changing the very first lines lines of DUKEPLUS.CON

EDuke32.exe /gDukeDC.GRP /gDukeDC_HRP.zip -jDukePlusDC -forcegl -hdukeplus.def



But whit the new DP version, this method has stopped working. The episodes selection screen displays only the original 4 episodes (and dukeplus levels of course).

eduke32 -jImperium -jDukePlus does the trick for me.

Wow, that's complicated.
Note that setdefname dukeplus.def in DUKEPLUS.CON makes -hdukeplus.def unnecessary.
I'd simply drop DUKEDC.grp and dukedc_hrp.zip (1.57) into the autoload folder.

Is there a way to disable all the custom weapons? Preferably the double barreled shotgun?

That's why DukePlus has its own ingame menu ...
However, DukePlus (Imperium/Eternity) maps can be designed to override the menu settings.

Yeah I use the menu but I guess it's the override thing you mentioned. Thanks.

Noob question here: I read earlier on in the thread that in order to get dukeplus working on eduke32 for Mac, you have to start up eduke with specific parameters (just dropping the zip in autoload folder doesn't work). My question is how do you open up eduke with parameters on mac?

Dropping DukePlus into autoload is just wrong. Unzip the archive into your EDuke32 directory (You only need the DukePlus folder actually). In the startup window (I hope there is one on the Mac), choose DukePlus as the Custom game content directory.

The DukePlus CONs override parts of DEFS.CON and USER.CON. Search for PRED_ATTACK2 in DEFSPLUS.CON, maybe that points to the file you're up to replace.

[tomo]

Thanks heaps LeoD i found the file i was looking for

Was just playing Dukecide with version 2.35 and the last boss is of some kind of super-tough variety instead of the mini variety it's supposed to be. It cannot even get out of its cave and there are nowhere near enough bullets to kill it.

It's probably due to an unintentional change in CON code, but it's also possible that a newer snapshot snapshot is the culprit (if something has changed concerning how tags are read into vars, for example). If you have the old DukePlus the map was released with you could try it with a new snapshot and see what happens. I will try to get to this soon, but it may be a while.
