I've been looking around the internet... trying to find one of those oldest polymer builds that had 3D models from before 2013. There was something about those builds that I personally found interesting...
I'm still favoring the old Polymost models over the newer ones.

The build I'm looking for is from 2010:





Hope someone can help!

Edit: Since this was used for presentation of Polymer back then, is it possible to change those windows with reflections without causing a huge performance hit?

The build you are looking for doesn't exist.

Those screenshots are only a demostration.

Ok, I think that changed something. But how to get reflective surfaces? Like the windows that were once hardcoded.

If the wall is marked as a mirror it should do the right thing. The map was changed for that wall to be a mirror for these screenshots.

Do you have any of the previous builds, that used Polymost models for Polymer?

[Hendricks266]

The models are not a part of EDuke32. They are a part of the HRP. All Polymost content is still included, but the HRP is set up to use Polymer content by default. You need to make a slight change to the .def files so duke3d_polymost.def is loaded instead of the Polymer content.

I've done something like this before, I used to delete Polymer bits and pieces of the HRP, and insert Polymost ones instead. Worked so far.
Was curious if I could get those reflections on windows somehow without doing impact on the performance, or if possible in general.

[Hendricks266]

There is nothing exposed to modding interfaces to designate certain surfaces as reflective. That screenshot uses an edited version of the map file.

It's a nice visual gimmick and great for showcase screenshots, but besides that I don't believe it would serve any purpose besides dragging your FPS into the deepest cellar you can possibly imagine.

[MatthewPatel]

Even without the windows, I still prefer some of the older textures. One build in particular, was the one from 2012.
This one is very similar to the latest version of HRP. Although I have a feeling that it's a bit darker in few areas, here and there. which makes it nicer.



On the other hand, I do like the new GUI font, but that's easy to replace.
Let me know if someone has one of these older builds. I'd love if someone could send me a few of them. I'd like to mix them up with something of my own preference.
