My Dark Dungeons mod for Dungeons 0.4

[Be3f]

I really like hardcore old-school gameplay of the Charnold's game Dungeons, but poor textures killed the gothic in-game atmosphere, so I retextured it :) I used 256x256 textures (instead of original 128x128) from Quake Retexturing Pak & Quake 3 Arena, and modified some Charnold's textures, added one from myself =). Also, edited all map.txt's (to render 256x256) and reordered levels (by simply editing levels.txt)
Now, the game looks more likely true Dungeons! :cool:

First, you should install Dungeons v.4 on your Memory Stick Duo. Download it from the offical site: http://www.caweb.de/
I recommend you to delete levels folder in Dungeons\data dir, before installing Dark mod - it will save some space on MS (or there will be some original textures, non used by the modded game). Then, unrar everything from Dark_Dungeons archive to your Memory Stick Duo (apply file rewriting).
If your firmware is 1.50, you have to make kxploit for Dungeons on MS, or use nokxploit patcher, or, as I do - run the game under IrShell 2.2 (it supports Nokxploit EBOOTs!)

My suggestions to Charnold:
Visuals will be much increased, if you disable mipmapping for floor and ceiling (but keep it for walls). Of course, perfomance will slow down (but it'll save some ram =)), but textures will be my more sharpen!
Atmosphere must be deeper, if you'll set nightmare.wav as in-game ambient! =)

Nice job :p

[charnold]

looks great!

you can edit the levels directly in the map.txt (until there is a real level editor)

you can load the tool to make the map.vis files and some more infos from www.caweb.de
