[Obsolete] SS2 SHTUP (Shock Texture Upgrade Project)

[665cfe7c4a8b4beauapropos]

Attached is a 256x256 reconstruction of the missing exithall.pcx object texture I did to replicate the style of the original (and SHTUP).

Prior to the NewDark patch, any modded version of that object texture (and only for that particular one for whatever outlandish reason) would simply be ignored in game.

I'm almost sure ZB has already remade this texture and will include it in the upcoming SHTUP release (coming uhh.. soonish?), so if you are serious about starting to contribute to SHTUP, you should coordinate with him to avoid duplication.

Acknowledged! Thanks for the heads up – I was wholly unaware that the project is still active!

… upcoming SHTUP release

I redid that texture a long time ago. I could have sworn it was in the last SHTUP-ND release.

quickly checked eng1 obj 1786, definitely still lowres as of SHTUP-ND beta1.

Dammit.

Well anyway here's the SHTUP-ND version of that texture.

Hey ZB, I realized in my playthrough that a few (damaged wall) textures still look low-res. I don't know if they are already in your "upcoming SHTUP release" or not, so I'll just post them here. Cheers!
PS: How do I bring up the coordinates again?

All of those are the same texture.

Years ago I had someone starting to redo the wall damage decals, but then they vanished after only finishing a few of them. I'm afraid that sort of artwork is beyond my skills. I'd have to find someone else to update them properly.

Updated the font file to contain the full code page 850 character set.

In retrospect, I don't know what the hell I was thinking.
