DP & Rygel UHR Pk3

[Mindf!3ldzX]

steps taken ; obtained Rygel UHR 3 rar's,decrompressed to 1 pk3 file,renamed to zip. obtained latest DP and DPmod,already had Quake obv

Install quake to *:\Quake\ (Del OpenGL32.dll)
Install DP to *:\Quake\ (where you installed Quake)
Install DPmod to *:\Quake\ (Quake Folder,now containing DP engine)

-there you go to the dpmod/maps folder and delete the files b_exbox2.bsp and b_explob.bsp
-there you go to the dpmod/progs folder and delete the files v_dplight.mdl,v_dpnail.mdl,
v_dpnail2.mdl,v_dprock.mdl,v_dprock2.mdl,v_dpshot. mdl und v_dpshot2.mdl

Those steps followed to the T. I used to skip this step,GG mindz.
Rename the PK3 extension to ZIP , extract to *:\Quake\dpmod\ , overwrite as needed.

This is like my 8th attempt installing this crap. I havent tested my results,I was more concerned with documenting the whole experience step by step.

Hello mindz,

this is my last attempt.

1.) I sent you a PM a while ago. Unfortunately you didnt downloaded it...
I really dont understand why.

2.) Forget Rygels Pack and the headache to set it up.
inkub0 made this thread: klick
Everything you need is there. With no hustle setting it up.
The only thing, that is missing at the moment is the texture pack (a BETTER one than Rygels !).
It will be uploaded shortly.
Then say good bye to Rygels pack and hello to inkub0�s easy setting up packs.


I will include you into my prayers, so that you will be able to set up DP one day


It would have been so easy, to simply download my links from PM... but you refused it.

All the Best,
Seven

It isn't that I did not wish to use your supplied links/setup , I just had a moment of swearing off failure as not an option,and today I succeeded in running the Rygel UHR today.

Since thats now out of the way, I still have all my original install files,and now that I'm nearly 25% complete figuring out DarkPlaces, my PC is just aching to smash on some customized DP. I took darkplaces running UHR textures,HDR lighting,and a bunch of other nonsense turned on that I can't recall, and was getting a wide open 500fps on DM3 @ speaknow.quakeone.com

edit : plus,it seems I read something about not being definitive,and also its missing textures. The UHR pack ,is what its supposed to be,high resolution. It looks fantastic,so one upping the Rygel pack will be great stuff,hope the hype matches the end results!!

But for now,this stuff should suffice.

Mindz,

I understand your struggle for survival.
But you cannot use Rygels Ultra Pack, because its .pk3 is corrupted.
Thats exactly what the console also tells you.
And thats why you get this message on your screen:

" you have reached this menu due to missing or unlocatable content/data " "you may consider adding -basedir
\path\to\game , to you command line "

I explained details here.

So now, that the secret is revealed, we should stop creating threads after threads
with the same content.
Rygels ULTRA pack CANNOT be used, because it is damaged.

But easily extract the pk3 with winrar and keep the subfolder inside ID1 is the key.

No need to delete, merge, rename anything.

Hoping to end this odyssey now.
