- Changelogs
Most of the textures are upgraded 4X but the engine can’t support a higher resolution and a FULL upgrade so some are X2 than the original.
Higher then what we have now will not work. We tried.
- HUD upgrade
- Texture upgrade
- More models inserted
- Menus: Main, Quit, Load, Control
- Subtitles
- New Intro
- Cheat mod menu
- Optional original menus or HD menus or Simplified main menu (with the intro)
- Reshade is introduced in this pack, it gives the player Depth of Field and some small adjustments. Some things looked great In Game but it ruined the menus so I tried to really stick to what works for everything. You can’t separate the game from the menus.
Note: Models, Maps, Gameplay (besides overkill) Cannot be changed! they are implemented in the source code.
FAQ
- Changing any setting IN GAME reverts all mod settings to default and you have to re-copy the mod config. Make sure to unlock the read-only, change the CONFIG/AUTOEXEC files and lock them again as read-only.
- If you are using the REMASTERED version that comes with MADNESS and the resolution gets stuck try changing r_mode "-1" to r_mode "22" or 24 in both config/autoexec.
- It's optional to NOT TO INSTALL certain Packs, if you don't want "Overkill" or "Reshade" please just don't install it.
- If you don't like the shadows, change it to " seta cg_shadows "1" which is the default.
- NEW HUD(PAK10) only works in the original Alice not the HD version of Alice that comes with Madness
- DELETE pak1_large.pk3 for the new texture pack to work
- To install the other Languages packs please delete “ZZPAK6_MOD.PK3” and replace it with the language pack. German, Spanish and French are available. Do not ask to make other languages which this game doesn't come in already- this is not possible.
- Steam Deck Users: In order for the image to be displayed correctly, Alt+Enter is needed to be mapped to a back button (or any unused button) in the Steam Controller Configuration of the game, and pressed once after each loading. also for steam it is "r_mode 13" and not 24
