BRUTAL HEXEN RPG (ZDL Edition) v4.7

[ZDL_800]

Hello Ermac.

Yes indeed, DoomVR is brilliant, I have tried the 3d weapons in Heretic and personally I don't like them, if the weapon is 3D, then the models/sprites need to be 3D, the mishmash ruins the experience, sprite weapons are much better in my view.

Also I cannot send the Blade Of Agony VR mod as I haven't been granted permission to distribute the mod, some of the devs wasn't exactly happy about the VR mod in the first place. I'm not causing any more issues with the devs.

Femaysdajus, I sent you over the DLC MegaWAD. Hope you enjoy.

I appreciate your time.

on a side note im trying to improve the Neural upscale project for Hexens 4k Textures, by making them seem more photogenic instead of cartoonish. Technically most of the textures are only 256x256.. i am to make them all a minimum of 1024x1024. ones that cant be upscaled would be replaced with nearly identical textures in true HD format.

[ZDL_800]

I like the artstyle of the Hexen upscaled textures, that grainy photo realism effect is crap in my view.

Also, are you sure 1024x1024 can handle GZDoom? Wont this cause lag and stuttering? Bad enough playing coop with the FPS drops.

Irontusk are you capable of replicating the Hexen artstyle? Would be great if you could upscale the Brutal Hexen textures and sprites, now that would be EPIC.

i needed a fresh set of pk3's to play with and upscaling using the Neural AI to 4k seems to look better on 80% of the textures updated... 20% of others may have to be done from scratch.
The latest neural patch has sprite and graphical upscaling as well. i did test them with brutal Hexen, and they seem to work so far.

Finally got the mod downloaded, been trying to find the megawad everywhere without annoying you to ask for it, but i am at a loss i will swallow my pride and ask for it to be pm'ed to me too please. Thanks in advance for all your hard work.

[ZDL_800]

Well I know you like GODLY textures but damn Irontusk there's some serious slowdowns in ambush scenes, Im hoping this can be fixed as most areas I believe have the bugged 10X pulsating light shader.

I will pay you by Paypal if you could upscale the Brutal sprites and textures, theres not many but I cannot render the Ai upscale without issues.

ScottBNP hope you are good, sent over the MegaWAD, don't worry about asking, not a problem, hope you enjoy.

Neural had his Upscale hexen sprites and graphics. which brought textures to 4 times their original resolution scale, which i tested in brutal Hexen and they work perfectly. Actually they look not too bad for an upscale.. They technically could be upscaled further but it might become a bit too gritty and cartooonish though. I could scrap the textures and flats and keep the others. it would knock the size of the pk3 down alot.

[ZDL_800]

Yes the upscaled textures used Nvidia tools and Ai neural, I'm talking about the modded sprites/textures located in ''BrutalHexenRPG_V4.7.pk3'' can you see them?

I was wondering if you had spare time, I will pay you, for you to upscale the sprites/textures in ''BrutalHexenRPG_V4.7.pk3'' in the same artstyle?

Thanks again.

Hi, thanks for this...looking forward to trying this bad boy out. Can you PM the megawad? I have Hexen & DLC.

Thx...Piper

[ZDL_800]

Hello

Sent over the MegaWAD.

Enjoy.

[PiperCalls]

Hi ZDL_800,

Received the megawad..this is awesome thank you so much!

I just wanted to make sure I'm using it right, so from command line I have...

gzdoom.exe -iwad hexdd -file BrutalHexenRPG_V4.7.pk3 hexen_gz.pk3 3_HEXEN64.wad HEXEN+DK.WAD

Is that correct?

It doesn't seem that the difficulty levels are being used. Even on the easiest level I'm dead immediately. If I set it to highest difficulty, the monster count/difficulty seems to be the same as lowest difficulty. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks...Piper

Hey, love the mod, been fooling around with a version of 4.1 I found elsewhere, stoked to try 4.7.

Can you PM me the Megawad and/or pass along instructions for combining manually? I own both hexen+dlc on steam. Thanks!
