I love the fact that there are people out there working on improving and keeping older games alive! I wish I could contribute but my programming knowledge is very basic. Thanks for doing this! HP 1 and 2 are the best ones in the series! What I personally would like to see is a fix to the tesselation that you can turn on, on capes and such it looks perfect but everything else gets all wonky. No idea how difficult and time consuming it would be to adjust that though.
@@Metallicafan212 Oh I meant from the DirectX11 Wrapper that a fan made for it, it has a "Tesselation=False/True" option in it. If you activate it a lot of stuff looks nicer but also a lot of things get too rounded in HP1 and HP2.
Based and true. But yeah. Tessellation only really became a thing with the release of DirectX11. I don't think you'll find it here. As DirectX11 was only introduced in 2009 and, released a year later, if I recall correctly. HP2 was released in 2002. So I'm not sure what issue you're referring to.
The moddb directx 11 renderer isn't compatible with the new engine, nor will it ever be. Not only is the author of it a huge asshole, threatening to inject ads into the game after people asked for the clipboard shit to stop, but he doesn't even support lumos in this game. As far as I know, he never even made an attempt to support it, he just wanted to get his renderer onto as many games as possible to get money. The DX11 renderer in the new engine is a completely new one written from the ground up to support HP2, and it also supports UT469 and 227. It's an official part of those patches now too.
Seeing that the game of my childhood is still getting updates is crazy to me. It was one of the few games made with UE1, so I imagine it's hell to work on this... Anyway, thanks for keeping this game alive !
No, not without completely rewriting the game and redoing all the maps. The entire game expects and assumes there's only one player and one harry actor. Even though unreal engine supports networking out of the box, they made no efforts to make sure their designs supported that.
The gun showcase was lowkey a showcase for CC changes. Expect a new trailer sometime next year, we've made much more progress, but it's slow basically making an entirely new game.
Dear Metallicafan212, after updating to this version, I can’t go any further, after Quidditch I leave and go to Hagrid, as written in the hint (i must follow Ron and Hermione to Hagrid's hut in the grounds). But neither Ron nor Hermione is near the hut, and Hagrid also does not react when you approach him. Help me please...
You cannot reuse previous saves with updates, you have to start a brand new save. Also: you're using the extendes mod, which has to be reapplied after every engine upgrade. The extended mod modifies base files that are included with the engine installer.
@@Metallicafan212 Sorry to bother you, I'm a dumb ass! The engine was updated, but the extended mod was not updated. Now everything works as it should!
Honestly, you could have remastered the PS2/XBOX/GameCube version of this game to resemble a 2014-style game, but the PC/PS1/N64 version is too old for today’s standards.
1. There is no N64 version 2. The PC version is an entirely different game than all the others. It's a Unreal Engine 1 game, like Unreal, UT99, Deus Ex, etc. 3. The console games have much lower texture quality, average size of 32x32 or 64x64, while the PC uses 256x256 everywhere, there even is a 512x256 texture. Model detail is lower, but texture quality is much higher. This isn't a remaster. This is a engine patch.

What tessellation? There is no tessellation options.

@@Metallicafan212 I had no idea, dang!
That's right, baby
It's a christmas miracle!
This is so cool! I'm currently making my own Harry Potter game (in VR). It's cool to see other people working on Harry Potter games!

Seeing that the game of my childhood is still getting updates is crazy to me.

Anyway, thanks for keeping this game alive !

DAMN
Jesus wants better HP!
Great work gamer keep it up
Amazing! Will it ever be possible to support multiplayer in the game?
No, not without completely rewriting the game and redoing all the maps. The entire game expects and assumes there's only one player and one harry actor.
Even though unreal engine supports networking out of the box, they made no efforts to make sure their designs supported that.
Looking awesome!
What's the latest on Cruciatus Child? Still working after starting from scratch?

@@Metallicafan212 Thanks for the update :D very excited for when it's playable
Damn
