Duke Nukem 3D - New version work on

[utri007]

GT Interactive's NAM works as a standalone game with Duke3D exe.

It has said to be worst game that uses Build engine.

Duke 3D add-ons, Duke It Out In DC and Duke Caribbean both works.

Duke 3D nwinter does also work but there is no actual menu item for it?

How do I use the Duke3D expansions? do I just add "vacation.grp" to the tool type?

[utri007]

You need to start it from command line

duke3d.060 -gFILENAME.GRP

So if you want to start dukedc

duke3d.060 -gdukedc.GRP

If you get errors, try to delete *.con files, like default.con, user.con etc.

NAM is different, it just requires it's own grp file, there must not be other grp files and duke3d.060 is started with NAM switch. Like duke3d.060 -NAM

DamienD has created a .HDF with "Duke Nukem 3D Atomic" and the following Addons all set up:

... Duke Caribbean: Life's A Beach
... Duke It Out In D.C.
... Duke Nuclear Winter
... Duke Nukem's Penthouse Paradise
... Duke It's Zero Hour

He also used a .GRP editor to remove standard Duke3D levels in all Addons so that you can only play the intended level

Grab from the TURRAN FTP under: /DamienD's WinUAE Collection/Interim Updates & Fixes

Can these addons be used if you don't have RTG? These are different levels right?

[BSzili]

They contain new maps, new graphics, new sounds, etc. If you familiar with the term "total conversion", these are commercial variants. JFDuke3D doesn't need RTG regardless of what expansion you play.
In the new version I included a script to start Duke Caribbean, it should work with both versions: retail CD and the one the came with short-lived Megaton Edition.

Hi, BSzili!
Is there a way to fix the warning "Demo demo1.dmo is of an incompatible version (117)."?
And to fix too fast modern mouse (so called "inverse acceleration" when moving 2000+DPI mouse too fast)?

[BSzili]

Playback of the original attract demos is not supported. If you experienced the mouse issues in UAE then I'm aware of it, but couldn't find a workaround, because the overflow happens somewhere under input.device. Fortunately this only seems to affect emulation.

The old chunk of coal BSzili has released version 1.3 of JFDuke3D on Aminet: http://aminet.net/package/game/shoot/jfduke3d.lha

Changelog:

- small CON interpreter speedup
- fixed some crashes when quitting multiplayer games
- keymap support for text input
- fixed the MP3 tracks always starting at full volume
- faster slope rendering and 2D sprite drawing
- support for native Amiga resolutions:
1280x512, 1280x400, 1280x256, 1280x200,
640x256, 640x200, 320x512, 320x400, 320x256
- fixed a potential hang in the double-buffering code
- improved audio mixer performance

Lovely. Can't wait to try on with the TCs.

It's an amazing port, running beautifully also on RTG Picasso with MIDI. The only defect is the mouse negative acceleration on modern mice with high DPI, which can be annoying on very fast movements.

Made some Coloricons for it:

in the Zone (dukeico.lha)

[utri007]

I made a short video to demonstrate performance

Made by hand, so sorry quality. Jumping with right mouse button double click is difficult.

Resolution is 640x200 AGA

These look nice, if you don't mind I'd include them in a drawer as alternate icons.

[hexaae]

Of course. No prob.

Took this for a spin on my A1200 Blizzard 1260 50Mhz this afternoon, very pleased, what a great release! The frame rates in the other ports I've tried are just that bit too low to make the game worth playing, fragged my way through the first 3 levels before I knew it.

Massive thanks BSzili, appreciated!

I have Apollo 68060 accelerator, running 80mhz.

With 640x200 PAL/AGA screen I get 12-14fps
With 320x200 PAL/AGA screen I get 17-22fps
