And nevertheless, many don't know what are they doing. HECK! I'm one of the most of the time. I believe I've mastered a "basic advanced" customization of skins. But, for instance, I really don't understand what sub does to skins. I only know they look way better than without it.

And memory wise, I feel that custom skins are better, for the lazy advanced, the running potato and the newbie, to get a much better looking skin than a vanilla one.

Sub stands for subsurface scattering. Its a way of showing blood trought the skin making it more rich of color and giving it a live like effect.

I only use skin system for my models. You can change makeup on the fly, add displacement, use overlays like tattoo's and masks. Have control of skincolor all in one place. You can change your models look just by changing a layer in h5 skin GUI. Did i already mention you can mix and match normals, specs and subsurface textures?

There are so much more options with this setup and worth the time it takes to learn it.

a nice a dreamy version

What i think about seeing your guns

You could also make the texture double sided in the code. 

Find the mesh RenderShader and add these lines in the scene file.

Good afternoon, I'm new, I've heard that Hook 5 majora the graphics of the game, how could I install it?
(Buenas tardes , yo soy nuevo , he escuchado que Hook 5 mejora los gráficos del juego , como podría instalarlo?)

Hook is a lot more than just installing it.

You can find all you want to know here:

Here is a little trick i use to prevent the black loading screen.

Most of the time they are caused by the game menus. There doing something in the background for some strange reason. 

I use Fraps to have a fps counter on screen. When loading the game wait for the fps jump, load on the highest fps and then move to the next loading menu. Do this on all game menus and you will have no crashes anymore.

I do load 1 room and quit the game after.

Solved: the _level_definition files I used were probably too old for the new hook5. I found out some room's _level def does work, and used that > changesd settings > saved. Back to normal. Now I need to find a way to fix the _level_definition files of the rooms I downloaded. 

Heres a sample of a level def that's fine._level_definition.txt

The reason the objects will not show is that the objects are stored in the leveldefenition file. So if you override it you will probable lose the room.

Redownload the room and try again.

Redownload the room and try again.

Also make sure you are running hook 5 extended as that is the only version that can handle the objects.

Hello, I reinstalled with the most recent version & hook version, and everything seems to work just fine besides one thing

 

Whenever I load a room that has objects in it, it will not load the objects of the room but instead a "game-wide" setup of objects / lights I have for ALL rooms for some reason... That happens for every room

So rooms that rely heavily on their hook5 objects (Like "The Pub") will end up empty and green, as if it's saving over the same 1 file for all of the rooms.

I remember having a setup for each room and rooms used to load their own unique objects / light groups

 

Many thanks in advance! 

Did you by any change override the Leveldefenition files with your own light setup one?

Would be nice if people could just let this go.

PG is no more isnt that enough?

Only brings negativity and there is more than enough of that in the world.

This is where I'm out of my element and not sure where to look. I've added the logs that update after a crash.

 

Once again I appreciate everyone helping out!

good-bye-t**.log 338.15 kB · 0 downloads Klub-10.log 2.67 MB · 0 downloads VX-addon.log 625.86 kB · 0 downloads

So if you look at the VX-addon.log you will see a lot of "ignore" statements. This means there are a lot of doubles in your setup. Ignoring these will take up a lot of memory.

Find the double addons and remove them till you have no more ignores in the log.

Best thing to do still is make a new install and add the addons you want 1 by 1 and test every one. This will give a solid start.

Oh I agree completely, it was more of a catchall test to see if the game ran completely fine on the old system and see if the new system is definitely causing the issue. 

 

Looks like you have a nice system that should not have any issues to run any of the rooms in 4 some poses at about 100 fps. that thing should fly.

So there is definitely something going on.

I have a simular setup like yours and most of my rooms will hit 100 fps for me. 

I did have a issue with my monitor witch is a 144hrz. 

Had to do some specific settings to make it work. 

1 run the default resolution of the screen 

2 make sure the refresh rate is set to max of your monitor

3 uncheck the limit to 120hrz (this will set it to 60 fps locked ingame)

4 running fullscreen will make it run more stable

And just for the sake of asking: did you set the 4gb patch in binaries\optionman.exe

Could you also show a screenshot of your default settings tab in hook 5 gui? could be you have to change some stuff there. (would be wierd is it was a copy of your old machine, but still)

The first place you want to check is your Log files.

Check them for doubles, errors and fix them. Also check if the logfiles grow a lot after running the game.

Also throughing in a bunch of addons is not a great way to build your game. Adding one and testing it is better.

how can I use Zbrush to create models for tk17?

Its a 20 year old game so the meshes of the models cant realy be changed without losing a lot of frames and running in compatibility issues.

What you could do is use hook extended to extract a model to zbrush. add the details there. then port it to substance painter and use the _high _low texturebuild to bake the normals from your _high zbrush mesh into a texture for the low poly game mesh.

I need an office and obtain a sea, why?

 

wrong icon to start the room. there are two icons for a room. the first one will hold the positions in the code only. The second one will hold the hook 5 objects and load the room.

Thank you so much for the thought - really!!  I do appreciate it, but please don't pursue it as I don't really want to be thought of as a charity - and there are more deserving real-world causes out there that could use that help 

To be honest, my time for this game is currently diminishing a bit due to real life responsibilities and obligations (I'm now a full-time carer for my father).  It's still an outlet and a means of temporary mental escape for me so I'm on it when possible, but now in a rather distracted way.  Would be a shame to have a new system that's not getting the use it deserves at this point in my life...

But thanks again for the support!   

Man you would have loved hook 5 product placing for sure. But its a nobel thing to take care of family so i understand and respect that.

For the charity part it would not be like that. If i look at what you can do without hook, its impressive. I would love to see what you could do with a hook setup.

If you ever change your mind let me know

Cant we just do a fundraise for a new pc for @aardy. This guy realy needs to try hook 5 because he will love it. And if he does not i will make him love it
