HEXEN II community work and discussion

[jeank]

Seven: thank you, my friend!

I think about see all photos of this theme members - is be interesting.
Anyone have account on facebook or same service?

[Seven]

I have heard about facebook, but never really cared.
My face should never be posted somewhere on the internet.
I would be banned at once in all active forums

Just look at my avatar and you will get a good picture of it.

Merry christmas everyone.

Best wishes,
Seven


PS: Jeank, I always wondered why you have in your signature:
"Small jsHexen2 and retex project"
If you call your version of jshexen "small", how should all others be called ?

[Bloodbat]

Sorry, no facebook now, no facebook ever.

[Mathuzzz]

I do have facebook account, you can search for Matúš Jankech, but have Big Lebowski photo there

[jeank]

Mathuzzz - i sent to your friendship request.

I have that profile on facebook, but must confess - rare use it.

Seven, hope i see your photos sometime in future

jsH2 really small, as i mean...

If i create in future something big, i tell about it.
I have some plan for one difficult project, but not have enough skill yet, hope i can start that in 2012.

I am spot an very old attempt to make hi res textures here Restoring the textures to 24 bit... - Raven-Games Forums
Am i am iterested what "Corel" program used? and how they maked it, what c settings, combinations? looks cool too.

Hello WhiteMagicRaven,

if you are interested in how to get this result:




It is very easy doable with freeware software, like Paint.Net.
I am working with this program for Quake texture enhancements
(you maybe read about some of them in other threads here in this forum)

Chilvence already gave you all the information you need:
- "colours, shading and saturation"
So, all this is implemented or can be inserted via plug-ins in Paint.Net.

It is really easy to use ! (must be, if even I can use it)
Give it a try and you will see.

Regarding the "Corel" programs Chilvence mentioned:
It is the Corel Draw package. Very old product though.
Paint.Net is able to do everything that Corel could.

Kind Regards,
Seven

[inkub0]

but.... is it possible to do that automatically, via game code ?

[Seven]

...automatically via code ?

How can something be done automatically that needs individuall adjustments ?
Every texture is different and would need different modifications in my opinion.
Otherwise it would be magic

If you want to have a good result, it must be done manually.

But that is just my opinion. As always: I might be wrong.

Kind Regards,
Seven

It can be done with the same way Emulators do upscaling however in my opinion - when done in a 3D game it looks bad and also usually makes textures look cartoonish. Remember there's rough stone and other "rough" textures in Hexen much like Quake. What upscaling will do is smooth those out. So a rock wall would actually start to look more like a marble wall.

[jeank]

I agree with Seven and ooppee.

inkub0, your hand work cannot be replaced by code

[WhiteMagicRaven]

Agree, just interest in another retexturing methods.

Hammer of Thyrion rescently making a good progress in programming )

Oz has added support for external ogg and mp3 playback. Is this useful ?
Here glh2.exe, README.music is the latest, or you can check out svn with

svn co https://uhexen2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/uhexen2/trunk
