RISEN3D INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Prior Requirements

IMPORTANT: Risen3D is a Doom port only, you still require at least one of the iwads contained in the commercial
version of either Doom, Doom2 or Final Doom before you can use Risen3D.

Doom / Ultimate Doom - Doom.wad

Doom2 - Doom2.wad

TNT ( Final Doom ) - Tnt.wad

Plutonia ( Final Doom ) - Plutonia.wad

Read the R3Dlauncher.htm for where the wad(s) should be located.

Basic Options

For a basic Risen3D installation you only require the binaries and launcher contained in the Risen3D v2.2.03 setup.

This will allow you to use the port with the original sprites in one of two ways ...

Core effects - replaces gun flashes and explosions with FX effects, this is the default.

Basic Doom mode - for heavily hacked pwads or the nostalgic MBF doomer, this is optioned in the launcher.

If you wish to replace the original sprites with 3D models you will require the Risen3D standard model packs.

Note: If you have previously installed the standard models packs you will only require the Risen3D v2.2.03 model pack update.

Alternative model packs

IMPORTANT: It is a requirement that the standard model packs are installed prior to the installation of any alternative model pack.

Sitters and Abbs enhanced model packs replace many of the standard models with vastly improved versions.

Chilvence soldier pack replaces the sergeant, zombie and chaingunner as an alternative set.

jDRP alpha model sample, this option can now be found in the Custom Global DED list of the launcher.

Abbspack provides two types of mods to replace the standard hudweapons.

Note: savegames are not compatible if swapping between either the Abbspack mods or the standard hudweapons.
Abbspack is a mod and as such uses either altered or additional Doom states.

With the exception of Abbspack all other alternative model packs require adequate hardware to run without performance loss,
keep in mind this is also very map dependant as what runs OK in one map may not necessarily run so well in another.
If your system has insufficient hardware requirements use these packs at your own discretion. The reason the standard models
have been retained is so users with lower end systems have a fighting chance of running models at acceptable frames rates.

Swapping between the various model packs is possible without compromising savegame integrity, the exception being Abbspack.
This can allow users to better gauge performance and make the necessary adjustments to offset any tough map demands.

Tip: If you don't have at least 256 MB onboard graphics memory make sure you have texture compression enabled ( default ).

High resolution textures

These packs enhance the world graphics by replacing the standard Doom iwad textures with improved hires equivalents.

Note: If your graphic's card has less than 128MB onboard memory then it's advisable not to use hires textures.

High resolution patches

These packs vastly improve Risen3D's user interface by replacing the standard titlepics, menu and intermission graphics.

Note: If your graphic's card has less than 128MB onboard memory then it's advisable not to use hires patches.

Skybox packs

These packs provide 3D sky replacements for the Doom and Doom2 iwads.

Note: If your graphic's card has less than 128MB onboard memory then it's advisable not to use skyboxes.
