These are the files Nukey ripped some time ago from the PMPs.

Download: Art, Sounds

Notes:

• The art has no transparency. However where should be transparent is always black (#000000);
  
• The art use a color depth of 5-bit instead of 6-bit. In other words, RGB values range from 0-31 instead of 0-63;
  
• Most art has a 16 colors palette, monsters use 64 colors and a few graphics arbitrarily use 256 colors;
  
• Obviously the alternate palettes have been created by converting the tiles to Duke 3D palette;
  
• The 3 status bar graphics are not associated with any tile number;
  
• There are some blank tiles with zero dimensions, but that appears to have been an oversight of the developers;
  
• E1L9.PMP uses different definitions for sounds (which is the equivalent of using a different USER.CON);
  
• Tile 2512 is mirrored, but that's a mistake.

Well you did give out a link

[Mav3r1ck]

How do you remove the black background? is it the same method used to remove the pink background?

[Fox]

You have to use a image editor and set one of the colors transparent.

[Mav3r1ck]

So just use GIMP to do this?

[Hendricks266]

I don't think GIMP is the best choice for working with paletted images. That said, what is your goal for working with these images?

[Mav3r1ck]

I just wanted add these assets to my own personally modded duke 3d just to play around with the new stuff, that's all.

?

You don't have to modify the images at all. I dumped the targas to include alpha transparency, and tested them before releasing. The background colour doesn't appear in-game.

[Fox]

I believe that's not the case. Or at least that mortals could detect. The same is also true for the Duke 64 tiles.

I tested it by trying to overwrite the PC explosions with the PSX version but the black background still appeared in Mapster32. The only thing I would need Gimp for would be to remove the backgrounds.

Confirmed. It looks like most image viewers can't properly handle your TGAs. IrfanView doesn't display the transparency, and GIMP shows garbage. Ken's code in kplib works without issue.

[Nukey]

Ah, the images posted in this thread aren't my original uploads. That explains why they aren't working for anybody else.

The originals work fine in mapster32, and eduke32. All of the image viewers I've tested display them correctly, except GIMP. Geeqie displays them correctly, and with transparency as well. In any case, I wasn't aiming to make them appear correctly in image viewers, but in the actual game.

[Mav3r1ck]

Ah, I was told to use Gimp to remove the backgrounds so that the images displayed correctly ingame. Nukey, would you be able to upload the correct images?

Yes. I uploaded it on a more familiar format. I never assumed that none of my programs was reading them correctly.

This time I will re-upload the original to avoid any surprise...

Looks like Fox has already re-uploaded them for me.

To clarify, image viewers that display the background as coloured pixels instead of transparent aren't necessarily displaying them incorrectly; They're just opting to show the pixel's colour component instead of their alpha component. The majority of image viewers that I've used seem to behave this way.

[Mav3r1ck]

So the art definitions allow animations and monsters work in the game right? So would I just put that information in the duke3d.def?

[geomancien]

Fox, what software do you extract the sounds of Duke Nukem PSX?




Duke Nukem Radiation

[Fox]

Nukey ripped them from the PMPs. The best program I have found is Psound, however it fails to detect 100% of the PMP sounds and it's missing the Hertz.

[geomancien]

and how do you extract the voice of Duke Nukem?

[Fox]

You have to check for each file.

[geomancien]

I did it but the sound is distorted

[Fox]

I am not sure what you mean.

[geomancien]

Here is what happens on my side

[Fox]

That's because PSound assign a generic Hertz frequency. Why don't you use Nukey's rips?

[geomancien]

because I'm trying to extract from the French version

[Fox]

You could try matching the Hertz to the US version using a audio editing software, but I am not sure if that would be right.

[geomancien]

I'm about to try but I can not seem to find the right frequency
