New Screenshots online

Hi all Nilers,

I am happy to say that H.T.O.P. version 0.2 makes good progress.

I finally found the time to upload some new pictures, showing some of the things that I have yet altered for the new release.

The entertainers home looks much better yet but still needs some improvement

I hope you still enjoy the new look with the enb series and you didn't experience problems. If so, feel free to contact me.

Finally some news...

Hello all,

at first, I have to apologize for not posting over such a long time. I have been very busy and there has been very little time for working on the H.T.O.P. None the less, I have added some screenshots, showing my current work. I have redone the crops once again, making them even more realistic. I have also turned the flax fields into more realistic ones.

Moreover, I have something exciting for you today:

The Children of the Nile ENB-SERIES is ready for download. I have spent many hours configurating to find a good mixture of nice effects, performance and quality. Feel free to try and decide if you like the new look of your game.
All credits go to Boris Vorontsov.



You can find the download here :

http://www.file-upload.net/download-4494623/CotN_enb.zip.html

or under the download section.

Your game will get a totally new look with really nice effects. Be aware that the ENB will increase loading time and cosume a lot more performance power than the original game. If your machine is too slow, you should better skip this. In addition, I heard that in some rare cases you may get overheating problems concerning your graphic-card, but I never experienced those problems. I don't take any responsibility, of course.

To get the ENB to work, download the zip-file and extract the d3d9.dll and the enbseries.ini to your game directory. The mod is set to work. If  you start your game, a text will show up in the left corner of the screen, so you can be sure that the mod is working.

To disable the ENB ingame, simply press shift+F12.
To disable ambient occlusion, press shift+F10. This should result in a performance boost, as AO is a very performance hungry, but  truly magnificent effect
To uninstall the mod, delete the d3d9.dll

I wish you a lot of fun with the ENB-SERIES and I really hope that you still enjoy my project.

Regards,

Horus

"Children of the Nile" as you have never seen it before...

Hi there,

today I can show you some really astonishing screenshots! At first, I couldn't believe that this was the old CotN-game I was playing.

Maybe you know about the ENB-series, an amazing tool by Boris Vorontsov, turning many games into real graphic wonders. After some hours of configurating I got a version of this tool working for CotN, resulting in those nice pictures. It is yet very buggy and I will have to spent more time working on it, but maybe I can get a stable version and be able to provide it for download one day. By the way, you will also see the results of my newest retexturing work, having done the sphinx and other monuments. H.T.O.P. Version 0.2 makes good progress right now.

Enjoy the pictures and don't forget to check for updates!

Regards,
Horus

Hi all,

at the moment, work continues only slowly. I don't find much time for retexturing.
So be patient and check for updates sometimes.

Hi all,

as I haven't recieved any negative feedback on the first release, I started to continue my work.
At the moment, all people are getting new textures. See some pictures under the "screenshot" section.

H.T.O.P. Version 0.1 released

Today I am glad to be able to release H.T.O.P. Version 0.1 

There has been lots of work during the last 2 months and many hours of texture editing and picture search. I really hope that you like the textures, though this is a very early release and there is still a lot of work to be done. I'd appreciate any kind of feedback here on my blog or at the tilted mill forum or heavengame forum.

If you are willing to join me in the project, just tell me! I take any help I can get :)

So here's the download link:
