High Resolution Textures problem

[-Jes-]

I could upload the personal edits I've been running with for a while now - done, courtesy of BEST EVURRRRR

They are mostly color, brightness corrections, but there's a few texture consistency fixes as well - see the grossly mismatching Startans in several E1 maps.

I have quite a few of the older, better textures still. In fact, I think all of the recently replaced ones.

@De-M-oN
I have taken your advice and am tweaking those textures to be closer to the originals.
Also, if you check the dhtp thread on dengine.net you will seee the lava textures are also being worked on.

Why not try get your fixes put into the pack, it's a community project after all.

which older ones are better?

[Dark-Assassin]

bigdoor set
starbr, starg, stargr, startan set
gray set
tekgren set

They're the ones I remember being changed quite a lot since I downloaded the DHTP pack many years ago.

I could get a proper comparasin.

Speed of Doom offers an own sky3. Thats why the sky was so strange.

Just to clear that up :)

@-jes- your redwall looks way better. This darkness reduction was highly necessary. thank you.

@kurikai : Thank you :)

The nukage fluid: I guess it could be a first improve if you use a darker green. It seems too bright like the redwall.

And the original redwall looks like vertical "stripes" if you see what I mean ^^
Maybe this can be improved as well for the highres version. But that only as a small suggestion.

Because they are crude hackjobs. DHTP proper needs the real deal.

I made just a simple recolor for the "firewall" and it helped imo A LOT.

Making the flames not red anymore is a radical change. The texture looks good, but like you can see doesnt fit on many situations. Its so special and so dramatically changed that this texture looks almost always out of place/wrong and destroys the intentioned texturing sheme often enormous like seen on the screens.

If you submit your recolored textures here, they might use them in the next version:

I'm thinking of uploading a pack of my hand picked textures, but will not submit them as they are either old and were replaced, not 100% doom like (some that are look weird) and/or are not mine nor edited by me anyway.

[elessar]

Again, there is a problem with these textures. Everything works well until the Final Doom. When you turn on the game menu appears and then when trying to start the game an error pops up. I tried to extract texture, then the error does not appear but I lack the texture of the ceiling and not just in Finall Doom but also in every other game Doom 1, 2 Plutonia. Please help.

Zandronum 1.2, latest textures pack. I have tried other textures but also bring a similar effect.

Thanks Empyre all works. I understand that the 3D models this port does not yet support? Or am I mistaken?

[Empyre]

This port DOES support 3D models. I don't have a working link to download them, however.

Good. Then explain to me how to integrate them into the port? Which folder to create, and in what format should be files with 3D models?

3D models can be taken to the port of Doomsday. http://dengine.net/addons

[Empyre]

I don't know the model format details, but I do know that if you manage to get a hold of a Zandronum-compatible models wad (or more likely, pk3), you can load it like any other wad, or put it into your skins folder.
IIRC, Dark-Assassin had made / gathered together a model pack. There was a thread for it in the old Skulltag forums.

[aivar242]

Thank you. I wanted to improve this port, so that it looked like about Doomsday, but until Zandronum not predisposed to it. So I for a single game will be as before to fill the Doomsday, because it looks great, but a poor multiplayer, and for multiplayer I will use Zandronum, which looks worse than having a rather primitive OpenGL, but great for the game in multiplayer.

P.S. At the port Zandronum sprites look very bad monsters. They are like a bud cut from paper with scissors. This is a problem of increasing the sprites. For example, in the port of Doomsday, not a lot of sprites to make an end, especially on the edges of the sprite. Therefore, it can be seen the ladder pixels even after filtering and smoothing. I think it more correct decision.

They are like a bud cut from paper with scissors.

If you mean the sprites seem paper thin (like why you view from above of them), then I have to ask you this: have you ever played classic Doom?

[aivar242]

The fact of the matter is that I played 20 years ago and now play Doom 1&2. I play on port Doomsday, because there Doom looks better than all the other ports.
Zandronum - I chose only for multiplayer. When I want to play on the network. That there is no smooth transition from good graphics Doomsday, on Zandronum, I 'm trying to do Zandronum like Doomsday. Promotion is already there, but I see that in OpenGL Zandronum yet worse than the Doomsday, and it's sad.

[De-M-oN]

imo many models of doomsday look rather inauthentic - rather cartoonish than evil, and because of that rather ugly to me :/ I assume this doesnt have changed till now..

The HRP models of Duke Nukem 3D are excellent though!

[Dark-Assassin]

3D Models: https://code.google.com/p/ds-models/
They don't stay true to JDRP as there are a few mixed and matched from various sources. Also, because they use sprite frames, there is no true Doomsday like fluid animation.

[De-M-oN]

Cant you just offer a pk3 file?
Why I should install software which is only useful for a developer?
