[HP1] Known Issues/Suggestions

Post by han »

I'm not saying that I'm making a HP1 patch, but I think it would be worth to compile a list of known issues and suggestions.

Issues:
- Menu assumes 4:3 resolutions (for widescreen this results in truncation, otherwise a black bar at the bottom appears in most UI situations).
- Tons of accessed none's.

Suggestions:
- Making new game intro skipable.
- Always enable console.
- Add dynamic list of resolutions like it is typically done in other UE1 games.
- Strafing support throughout the entire game.
- Multiplayer.

On a quick test it looks like it just get a black bar at the bottom instead of truncation.

Clarified the formulation of the issue.

Supported:
not supported for a foreign language


After installing the renderer, the Russian language disappears in the game. the russifier may not have been done correctly. please see.... or maybe there's another way to solve this problem...
I can't play in English

These are Russian language files. If you move these files to the English version of the game, the foreign language words will not be visible.

Can you please get these Google Drive files onto Archive.org so that people in the future may access them?

Thank you!

Why? This Russifier is glitchy and should not be downloaded by all Russian players

Yeah, my mistake. I read the thread incorrectly yesterday. It's always best to upload to Archive.org for files and not file hosting sites (which disappear or go offline constantly.) At first, I thought these were files that fixed the problem. Regardless, to make things indefinitely accessible, Internet Archive is the last bastion of hope for data that is obscure, abandoned, or necessary as an adjunct to other data / software to enable playback in the future / for future users.
