High Resolution Pack
From Duke Nukem Wiki
The High Resolution Pack (HRP for short) is a fan-made pack of improved graphics for Duke Nukem 3D. It includes both higher-resolution versions of textures, and 3D models that replace sprites (such as enemies and weapons).

[edit] Information
For all Duke fans who want to play the game again in a modern Windows environment with 3D accelerated graphics, the Duke3D community has created the High Resolution Pack (HRP). Utilizing the amazing skills of various texturing and modelling artists, the project´s goal is to replace all textures and sprites with high-res versions, optimizing it for latest OpenGL ports.
Note that the HRP is solely the replacement graphics. You will need a source port that can access and insert these graphics in order to play the game in high-resolution mode.
Here is what the Duke3D HRP has to offer:
- A choice of two Duke Nukem 3D source ports: JFDuke3D (by Jonathon "JonoF" Fowler) and EDuke32 (by TerminX and Plagman). Which one is included depends on how well they support the current HRP version (usually EDuke32).
- 32-bit high-resolution textures with 4 times the detail of the original textures.
- 3D models instead of the old 2D sprites.
The HRP is a "work in progress", and is still missing a number of textures and models. You can check the 3D Realms source code forum for the latest added content, or to contribute something of your own.
The community's goal is to issue a new HRP version at least once a year or any time JonoF comes up with a new milestone of the JFDuke3D port. For the impatient ones, NightFright is offering an update pack every one or two months, integrating latest forum contributions and fixes into the HRP.
[edit] Installation
The HRP comes bundled with JFDuke3D (by Jonathon "JonoF" Fowler) and EDuke32 (by TerminX and Plagman), in a single installation file. Pick which source port you would prefer to use, and it and the HRP will be installed.
Once you have installed it, you will need a copy of the "duke3d.grp" file. This can be found on your original Duke Nukem 3D v1.3d or Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition (v1.5) CD-ROM. You can also use the "duke3d.grp" contained in the shareware version of the game (free to download from the 3D Realms website, although the shareware version is limited to the first episode only.
[edit] Other High Resolution Packs
Following the great popularity of the original HRP, three more HRP projects were set up to provide high-resolution versions of artwork found in the three official expansion packs. These three HRPs are designed to be used in conjunction with the main HRP, and ingame will replace any of the main HRP material with its different expansion pack version (if it is different).
A fourth HRP was also created, which replaces any softcore images of women with hardcore versions. This HRP is known as the "XXX pack".
