Indeed it does. But using fullscreen hires graphics is an enormous waste of texture memory. Better cut it to the parts actually needed and align them properly, especially for weapon sprites.

I guess I'd better get off my lazy ass and do it properly, huh?

What's that ugly looking blob on the left side of the screen?
(I know what it is).

Anyway, I can say the opposite, highres weapons/graphics and doom don't mix.

Eh, it depends. If all the graphics are high-res, then it looks okay.

Ooohhh... When I release the first segement of Haloguns2... I got all the graphics for the pistol finished today, and everything works like a dream, except the offsets, which still need quite a bit of tweaking...

Mmmmm... true-color high-res goodness... preeettyy...

If people are interested in a version of XWE with fixed png offset handling, you can get the latest beta from this Doomworld thread:

http://www.doomworld.com/vb/showthread. ... tid=592476

but scroll down to the bottom - it's no longer the one that Wildweasel linked to but the one Csabo posted near the bottom of the thread.

Yes it is, actually. The link is still the same.

so in that version of XWE I can change the offsets of the PNGs without it reverting back to the doom palette?

EDIT: Also when I put the sprites into a zip file with the correct offsets, the appear lower than the screen, but when I had it in wad format, it was fine. Am I doing anything wrong?

oo nice, now somebody please release a test wad! I dont care if it's one weapon.

I have a wad, but it is 2 MB in a wad... and only 1MB zipped. the problem is, that when it is in zip form, the offsets appear much lower than the wad version

nvm... I'll just release the wad in a zip folder... here ya go, the 357 magnum from half life 2... in highres! enjoy!
