[Obsolete] SS2 SHTUP (Shock Texture Upgrade Project)

[6741b90c0e4a1voodoo47]

does anyone know if having a save on the game from before you installed the mod would affect the mod functioning?

ADAOB is not compatible with previous savegames. SHTUP is.

Well, in that case I don't know what happened. (I should mention this was happening when starting a new game, not when loading that previous save. I have now perfected the sprint from the subway car to the cryo-chamber on the Von Braun) Perhaps the unzipper I was using was playing up (Izarc has a tendency to not bother unzipping all files sometimes for no reason). Perhaps It was all a hallucination brought on by too much sugary cereal and not enough sleep.

Whatever. Works now! And SHTUP's a great mod, so thank you.

Started another playthrough of this today, with SHTUP installed. My immersion was swiftly broken when I examined a packet of 'cheezee' crisps, only to be startled to find that they were actually intended to be called "Crack-O's".

I fixed the texture and made it look a bit nicer too:

ZylonBane will like that.

Nicely done Pete.

Cool texture and a noob question - how can one incorporate this cool texture into one's game?

[6741b90c0ee23Simplex]

Third time's the charm.  Sorry for posting this in ADaoB and Four Hundred threads.
I found a texture that is not remade neither in Four Hundred nor in SHTUP. It is in obj.crf/txt16/exithall.pcx and I must say it sticks out like a sore thumb

patience, little hacker - we are but few, and the tasks are Many.

[6741b90c0efd0Simplex]

No pressure I know this is not a critical task.

[6741b90c0f105ZylonBane]

That Exit sign is on my to-do list.

[6741b90c0f1f1Kolya]

a quick one 

[6741b90c0f4f9Marvin]

The stripes should be thicker and the edges more rounded. Also, the HALLWAY is a little bit too stretched out, can be best seen between the A and the Y.

Otherwise very good.

[6741b90c0f5e5Kolya]

Good points. Maybe tomorrow night. Now I want to play a game.

[6741b90c0f753Simplex]

This texture looks quite good in-game, definitely better than the original (at least for me). Proof:

I played a bit yesterday on Engineering deck and I noticed lots of low res in-game displays and strange thing was that I already saw hi-res versions of these displays in other places, so I have no idea why I saw old versions. Screens here:

this is a known issue, caused by the level not being available in a fully editable form. it will be fixed eventually.

[6741b90c0fc05ZylonBane]

There's already a SHTUP texture that's very similar to this one. I planned on just modifiying it.

This is not a SHTUP issue. Those are terrain textures. SHTUP is 99% object textures.

[6741b90c0fd8fKolya]

So much the better, I won't have to spend more time on it and the result will be consistent with the other signs then.

[6741b90c0fea7Simplex]

If this is terrain texture issue, then is there a chance that ACC can fix it in 400 mod? (most of the textures are already they in SHTUP, they are simply not displayed on terrain).

[6741b90c0ff88ZylonBane]

Why would ACC bother remaking all the monitor textures that I already remade for SHEMP?

[6741b90c10077Kolya]

I don't think that was the question, but whether ACC couldn't use your monitor textures on terrain. Maybe you already talked with him about it?

[6741b90c10164ZylonBane]

Haven't talked to him about it. As far as I know, once the SHEMP textures are removed from the community patch, SHEMP will be repackaged as a NewDark-only mod.

[6741b90c10253voodoo47]

well.. this was incredibly easy.

[6741b90c1036cZylonBane]

Shiny!

[6741b90c10498voodoo47]

yeah. kinda ashamed that I didn't think about this earlier - as NewDark supports animated world textures, all that needs to be done is batch convert SHEMP gifs to pngs, modify filenames and create the mtls, dump everything into the FAM/tech folder, done. did the part you can see on the screenshot in about 15 minutes, the rest would require two more hours of work, give or take.
