v0.9.1-alpha
dfba243

Second alpha of mdk-sdl, a port of MDK (Shiny Entertainment, 1997) to C# and SDL3.

Level 3, enhanced look with the HD textures mod

Important

You need the original game (GOG, Steam or CD). These builds contain no data from MDK; they load it from your installed copy.

Changes since v0.9.0-alpha

  • Modding: a mods/ folder next to the program replaces textures, HUD/menu images, fonts and models (glTF .glb) in the enhanced look. Options, Mods switches them on/off. mdk --export-assets=dir writes the originals to start from. Guide: docs/modding.md.
  • HD textures are now a generated mod (mods/hd-textures/): Options, "Make HD textures" (or mdk --upscale-textures). It now also upscales the 2D images: HUD, sniper screen, bomber sight, fall HUD, menu and loading pictures (fonts stay original). An older textures-hd/ is moved into the mod; only new images are made.
  • Sniper mode: the seam around the enhanced scope view is closed.
  • The enhanced look's "Smooth models" option is removed (not worth its cost); models are lit flat again.

Desktop: unpack into your MDK folder (e.g. C:\GOG Games\MDK\mdk-sdl), or set MDK_DATA_DIR, then run mdk. Played on Windows; the Linux and macOS builds are only built and started on CI.

Android

  • The APK is debug-signed: uninstall 0.9.0 before installing 0.9.1 (that deletes the imported game files and saves; the first start imports again).
  • Copy your MDK folder (with TRAVERSE, MISC, FALL3D, STREAM) to the phone, e.g. Download/MDK, and pick it on first start.
  • Mods and HD textures are made on a PC: copy the mods folder (next to mdk.exe) into the phone's MDK folder, then Options, "Import from folder" copies it. Options, Mods switches them.
  • Tested on the emulator and one phone. No game controllers or on-screen keyboard yet.
