Hey uh..... I just noticed that all my fog, no matter the retail level I pick, is white, like pre-CE. Uhh?? I can't find an option that would fix this. Any suggestions?

tpass-ce_v107e.zip

Released in 2018. Everything fixed? Just checking if that's the latest patch. Do I need to install 1.1 or I'm okay to install clean Trespasser 1.0 and then this patch.

It depends on what you mean with everything fixed. No, it doesn't fix all the physics bugs. It is mainly a feature/stability/modern OS patch.

You can use this on vanilla 1.0. :)

I'm getting an 'unknown dx error during initialization' for guiap_ce (on windows 10). Does anyone know what the problem
is?

Most likely, the problem is Windows 10...

Make sure you have the dx file from the main CE download. You can use the trespasser.ini file as well. :)

Yup, I realized after scratching my head a bit that was what the problem was. I'm not using ce anyways, I was just messin'
around with it trying to figure out why it never worked for me. What I working on works in atx, but doesn't work properly
in ce. Lee must have changed some of the code dealing with physics calculations or something -

Huh I might be interesting to hear what the difference is, for future reference. For example possibly improvements to graphics steal resources from physics calculations? Or something about the timing precision, though I doubt we might find an answer for that one...

The float variables (for movement), varied from the demo atx engine to the retail version of ce. I tweaked them using the atx engine,
but realized they were considerably off when testing the same setup in ce (like 2 or 3 degrees in difference). The same setup seemed
a match for the retail engine (in other words, the same as the atx demo engine), the outcome was just different in ce.

*If you're using ce exclusively, it wouldn't matter though, Drac. You would just set it up for ce.

Hmm. If HPDS is played in CE, does the mines-catapult in ~plains still work? Sounds worth testing.

I seem to remember it working fine - I played through JPDS in CE back when CE was first released and the only things I remember missing were the map and HUD. I think the trebuchet contraption does have a chance to outright kill the player though.

I've been working on up-scaling all the textures in Trespasser for use with the CE patch's texture override function. They're now complete and can be downloaded below.
CE can't currently load ground texture overrides so I haven't done those.
The main drawback is that these also override fan level textured. That isn't an issue in it's self, but there are instances where level designers have significantly changed a texture but used it's original name. In those cases the custom texture is replaced with the retail up-scaled texture. I've moved clipboards and keycards to level specific folders to address the worst game breaking aspects of this. I still worry that a lot of artistic intent could be lost though, so use these with that in mind.

Despite potential issues, this seems a highly valuable contribution to Trespasser. Thanks!

Tatu, I find myself wondering on usefulness to your mod...

How much are textures found in the retail release? I imagine some are BMP names found only in older builds..
