I made Duke's karate kicks be attacks with a sword. But I think it looks kind of crummy. I thought I'd ask people who new the mechanics better than me for some suggestions. The video is in slow motion for some reason, but that gives you a better look at the animations.

I mainly have three questions:

1. How do I make the sword go farther up the screen?

2. How do I replace the kick hitting sound?

3. How do find the animation sprites for the regular kick (non karate kick)

Here is the vid for it.

I think it might still be processing. If you can't see it there, watch it in my channel.

I like the idea of a sword, its better than my other idea. However it doesnt look very good at the moment but im sure you could get some help here somewhere
My idea was you could use the umbrella as a sword from the level Mission Impossible lol.

I think that a baseball bat or a golf club or a water pipe would be more suitable for Duke.

A walking cane, he is getting rather old now.

Thanks for your replies. To be honest, though, I never really liked the Duke character. I just don't think you should be cracking wise while the fate of the world is at stake, so I usually turn Duke Talk off.

DeeperThought did a great job on that mod, but I'm one of those people who is never satisfied until I've modified something.

Come to think of it, you're idea about the gold club gave me an idea. What's your take on fire axes? I'll post it when I'm done.

And my three questions are still up for anyone who knows. Thanks in advance.

Well I tried out multiple things. The only one that actually looks good is "Duke has Super Powers." In my humble opinion, I think it's pretty awesome.

I suppose you could get a fire axe from Farenheightcouldnt you?, thats the level with the fire station?

[Danukem]

I would be surprised if you ever got very good results from substituting different art and using the same karate kick code...but you're welcome to try.

[a muffin]

Yeah the fire axe is not going to happen. Maybe you could explain to me how to alter the code?

The problem I saw from the video is that the sword seems to pop out of nowhere at random. Using it as an alt-fire makes it appear that you have a sword model swapped for the pistol, but that the defs are wrong and in certain parts of the game it swaps.

You need to have it as a main weapon and it will look much better.
