Posted: Sun Jun 09, 2013 12:09 am Post subject: How to use texture packs with ZDaemon |
|
|
I downloaded the Doom Hi-Res Texture Pack from this website
http://dhtp.freelanzer.com/
I know how to use it on ZDoom but have no clue how to use it on ZDaemon.
Can someone here help me configure this pack for Co-op over ZDaemon.
Thanks in advance. |

Hey Mate,
Sorry for the late response! but unfortunately this won't work with ZDaemon, The files are in wrong format and the textures are way bigger than the Original! ZDaemon isn't capable of mapping these textures (means that these textures would need to be schrunk in order to fit the walls). ZDaemon is based on an old Zdoom version and uses old-scaled textures (the sizes that were originally used for DooM/DooM II).
Don't be disappointed there are so much cool wad-files for ZDaemon that will probably suit you
Best wishes to you and goodluck on ZDaemon!
Regards,
Michael

I could try to make a ZDaemon compatible version but it would take some time to complete, and some textures might not look so good after conversion... |

Could be possible (wonder if they would still look better as Doom's original textures xd). Not sure about the rights on these files, Is it free to use/edit? You'd better ask the author first. |

Spot-on Evo. I'd have said the exact same thing. Can be done - would take time.

Untrue, it just has to be done differently.
But, with the inability to scale down larger flats (and without hi-res sprites) is it worth the bother?
And yeah, converting down from PNGs to Doom's pallete may not always work too well.
Btw, it's fine to do what you like with those packs - as long as credit is given |

I know that you can insert new patches inside the texture lump, But if you make a patch that's 1024x768 big, It appears in game as that size.
So my question is, Can you let ZDaemon render it to it's needed size in order to fit the walls? Or Scale them down like you do with sprites in a Dehacked lump? |

I have almost done it. The reason why I say "almost" is because there are some quirks with scaling certain sized textures - they get a little tutti-frutti here and there.
The result is something... I wouldn't always say it's better. Some walls look nicer, some not so. The flats... Meh.

edit: link to beta removed- haven't added credits yet. will give to a few trusted testers in irc. be back in 9 days, cya. |

geweii: Open zcls2013 in slade3 and look for the "zcl" textures used. You can see scaling is used on those. Check them in each map from 01 to 06. They differ in size, but all use the same patch. |
