This is a pre-release for Windows; expect graphical glitches, bugs, LOTS of crashes and unfinished/missing HD assets
Notes:
-
You must own a legal copy of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and/or Abe's Exoddus.
-
Background animations are not implemented (e.g. the spinning fans throughout Exoddus and the moving barrels in Rupture Farms).
-
Cutscenes don't work.
-
The foreground layer that allows scenery to mask Abe and other characters is not implemented in Oddysee.
Installing Abe HD for Oddysee and Exoddus
-
Download the engine files (relive.exe and SDL2.dll) from .
-
Extract the engine files (relive.exe and SDL2.dll) into your game folder/s (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Oddworld Abes Oddysee/Oddworld Abes Exoddus)
-
Download the HD assets. Get the assets for Oddysee from . Get the assets for Exoddus from .
-
Extract the assets. Place the extracted Oddysee hd folder in your Oddworld Abes Oddysee game folder where the AbeWin.exe and relive.exe is. Place the extracted Exoddus hd folder in your Oddworld Abes Exoddus folder where the Exoddus.exe and the relive.exe is.
-
Open the relive.exe in the respective folder of the game you want to play. This will freeze the game window while the the HD assets are being loaded.
IMPORTANT: Once the assets are loaded the game will resume and play a very loud sound for some reason, so you might want to turn the volume down until you get into the menu.
The reason for this pre-release is because there hasn't been much progress lately, and we are sick of keeping everyone waiting as well as holding back our hard work. This pre-release is REALLY broken, but we need help if we're ever going to finish it. We need help with 3D modelling, rigging, and animating in blender plus some python programming for the render addon we're currently using with blender to batch render the character sprites. If you're interested in helping or you just want to keep an eye on the project you can .
