awesome, than bloodshot

[talisa]

thanx again bloodshot, im absolutely loving it, its perfect

oh random question... is there a way to have the original music in hammer of thyrion?
and if so, how?



EDIT: oh wait nvm, i forgot there was midi music in hexen2, so no need to fix the music since its there anyway

[WhiteMagicRaven]

you can rip original audiocd(if you have) to ogg and use it in Hammer of Thyrion, so HeXen II and Portals will play music with in more better quality.

P.S. It might be interest to community
SLADE - It's a Doom editor
Slade3 can view ,edit, export all data formats inside Quake and HeXen II, easy to use.

dun have original audio cd, i have the steam releases of the games which didnt come with cd music

[Bloodshot]

Missing Music image download - Steam Users' Forums

Also you can go here if you want them already ripped and converted to MP3s,

thankies thankies thankies again bloodshot

[Bloodshot]

no problem lol.

Does anyone know how I would convert a texture to the Hexen 2 color palette so I can edit it in photoshop and have it show up with the proper colors in hexen 2?

Or does anyone know where I can find the hexen 2 color palette?

[Spike]

in one of the pak files you will find a gfx/palette.lmp file. This is a 768-byte 8->24bit RGB palette.

[Bloodshot]

So how exactly would I force photoshop to only let me use those colors? I load the color palette but it still lets me work with any regular color.

[talisa]

again, i am totally loving the menu background bloodshot.
really amazing work, brilliant usage of a demo for menu background

oh, i had one question though... isnt there a way to make it hide the hud during the menu demo?
it would look even better if the hud was hidden so its less obvious its actually a demo



and and... you should totally make menu backgrounds like this for quake + both mission packs too

You can create new project in SLADE3 and import any kind of image.
Than right click on it, and choose gfx\covert to...
and here you can choose hexen2 palette.
In gfx\export as PNG you can seve it, and this file is 8bpp that use hexen2 pal.

P.S. Also spotted just now that hexen1 repal to hexen2 pelette almost doesnot loss color.

FTE supports 2d DXT1+3+5 dds textures, and will load foo.dds in preference to foo.tga
