Turok Dinosaur Hunter modding (Get started) Basics Guides
Duke64:
Basics: How to
1. Launch game
2. Open console by pressing ~
3. Type "developer 1" and hit enter then exit the game
*Step 1-3 can also be done by opening config.cfg in the Turok game directory and find the line that says seta developer "0" and change it to seta developer "1"
4. Open game files and locate game.kpf (kpf is short for Kex Program file)
5. Rename it to game.zip and open it up (extract these into your own folder somewhere for quick reach of it later.)
*You can mod your game by changing the components directly inside the game.kpf
6. After your done remember to rename game.zip back into game.kpf or the game will crash.
Making your own mods folder
1. Make your own folder inside the Turok game directory and call it "mods"
(It should look like this i'm using my gog folder here)
*Inside this mod folder you can include specific components from the game.kpf and individually replace them using the mods folder. The engine will recognize it.
*The files inside the mods folder need to be zipped files and then renamed using the .kpf extension
It should look like this
Zipping your modifications.
The .kpf files inside the mods folder need to be zipped folders/files.
The files have to be named the same as they are in the game.kpf for the engine to recognize this.
They also need to be in the same directory/file as the game.kpf
Example my crosshair mod.
The crosshair image is originally located in game.kpf/gfx/crosshair.png
Mine is located in mods/crosshair.zip/gfx/crosshair.png
Now rename it to .kpf and your good to go, you can name your own .kpf files whatever you want to, just as long as the components inside are named the same as the originals it will work :)
Playing your mods
Once there set up correctly as explained above you can just launch Turok or drag your .kpf file onto the launcher.

Rok:
But its most likely a good thing to have down the road if people start posting individual mods the section could get way to crowded. Sixty four can we have a questions thread for modding in here to because I got a few. After looking into the files I can only understand some of it. I have to learn this stuff! Somebody switched the soldiers heads on the models to scorpion and sub zero lol!
The_EyeofTurok:
Rok just make a questions thread :) I have some to actually. But yeah I saw scorpion in Turok lol I think im traumatized from it xD. Did anybody see the high res textures stuff being worked on? I'm not interested in high res textures myself but it sure looks pretty cool.

A section for this was asked for and I agree because I am currently messing around in it myself also. Nobody ever asked for any other mod section before but imo it makes it easier to read. If some members want to discuss regular talks or post videos its the Turok 1 section. The user content sections needs to be separated. With the level editor coming, there is high purpose for this and the suggestion made me act. I also thought this would be good for any of the games that are moddable T2 and T4.
Also, I think everyone is entitled to there own thread if they want to share something the forum is not messy it has more members and posters now. For example having one general thread for mods and maps would be messy and could also lead to confusion on who members are responding to. Here members can release in easy format as there own thread.
Example mod thread name- Release: Shotgunfix.kpf or New: Shotgunfix.kpf
Example map thread- Release: lostland.map or New: lostland.map
Could be however you want it but try to go towards it being some sort of release if anyone wants to. Don't make me be first :P
Jay Doomed:
Thanks for explaining this 64, also has anyone noticed how similar this modding is to Doom? It is very similar to classic games like Duke Nukem 3d modding also. Love it, thanks Kaiser couldn't of asked for it any other way :)
It still has its differences as every engine would but this is very similar. Going to be taking sometime out to learn much over xmas break :)
