I be happy to look at that sprite pk3 you made and try it out

I'm guessing Prime's been pretty busy as of late. Here's to hoping he has free time soon.

Has Prime died or something cause he hasnt been on since January 20th :O?

No worries, he updated his picture archive back in april, he's more than likely busy.

Is there a way to get these highres sprite replacements to run in GZDoom? I tried placing them into "sprites" subdir, zip it and load it like normal JDTP, but startup of game gets interrupted by error messages. Do I have to load it differently, or does GZDoom not properly support this right now?

well...
1: you have to rename the hires sprites to the same as the original one
2: put into "something.pk3/hires/"
3: ???
4: Profit

Hmm well, I renamed all the sprites properly (i.e. ammo.png, brok.png, sbox.png, shel.png, bon2a0_h.png, bon2b0_h.png, bon2c0_h.png, bon2d0_h.png, medi.png, stim.png, bstr.png), put them into "hires" dir, zipped it and loaded it with GZDoom (latest build, r918) by adding it to autoload section in my zdoom.ini file. This works just fine for the DHTP and other custom files. However, these sprites do not want to show up ingame... weird.

Anyway, I think this project should be continued and finished, especially since the models which you can download in different flavors are mostly poor attempts to imitate the originals. Also, if I am trying to use the (monster) models with GZDoom, terrible lags would occur. GZDoom is the port of my choice, and I do not want to use others like Doomsday. What we have seen in this thread until now looks really promising, and I am sure that once this is done, many will prefer using this over any model pack. However, I guess especially the monster sprites will take considerable time and efforts to recreate faithfully.

AFAIK none of these names are correct. Maybe GZDoom has specific support for DHTP?

I attach a zip w/properly named files, but you will need to put them in the appropriate folder ("hires" or whatever GZDoom expects). Works fine on PrBoom+ if the files from it are put in an appropriate folder.

Cool, that did it! I suspected that the file names were the problem. Thanks a lot! ^^ And this stuff really looks great ingame, far more faithful to the original game than any model crap...
