HDTP Beta Released

Alright folks, here it is. As a mediafire download, no less. :/

Now I realise this is probably the most half-arsed beta release of anything, ever, but them's the breaks. If anyone wants to rehost the files, be my guest.

There's a readme in there somewhere, but basically, this works as a sort of manual patch to the initial HDTP release.

So download all the packages, unzip 'em, dump 'em in the right places, etc etc, and bob's your uncle.

Also, be warned: it's a beta, and it's been tested by basically...me (mostly in a "load it up, do the changes I've made work" sense) and Daveyboy (who made all the newspaper & book textures, and who has been playtesting more extensively). I've hopefully fixed most of the bugs he's reported thus far, but who knows. Basically, there could be sudden OMGWTF show-stopper crashes, so save fairly often. If you can get a reproducible crash, then that's actually pretty useful so keep the log file (HDTP.log) and send it to me. Or post it here in this thread. :)

So here's the download link:

Now I will, I'm afraid to say, be flying off to Malaysia for a couple of weeks (from this sunday) so it's...unlikely that I'll be able to do a ton of bugfixing in that time, but I was determined to get this released in some form before I left.

Finally, view this as a...nearly finished work in progress: Daveyboy is making some new textures for some of the things we never got to, so there will probably be additional content as well as bugfixes.

*finger hovers over submit*

..ah, what the hell.
Topic can be found here.

DDL from the HDTP team kept his word. This at least gives hope that progress was made. I've thought this mod would never be released. It's been years since a official update.

It was kinda never dead but, with this release we can actually see that they made progress. It was always in the back of people mind that it was never going to get released. Since you rarely saw any updates about the mod. He said they was pretty much finished and will release a beta in a couple of weeks. Which you can see he kept his word.

Did I install it wrong, or it doesn't include character models?

when you play the game with the hddtp packages, check the settings menu and look for hdtm menu or something like that...
