When I tried running DukePlus with my new computer (running Windows Vista) it wouldn't work.

All I got was this:

Any help on fixing this?

You need the Atomic Edition of Duke 3D for the DukePlus mod.

I do.

I can't tell whether you are acknowledging that you do need it, or whether you are trying to say you are already using it. In any event, I've seen this before. The errors all indicate that your USER.CON and DEFS.CON are not Atomic Edition. Labels such as "notenemy", "MAXGROWAMMO", etc. are not defined in DukePlus, they are supposed to be defined in the regular CONs before the DP CONs are compiled.

I meant that I do have the full Atomic edition. Although The Birth episodes isn't showing up. Could that have something to do with me having the Dukebike mod? I've already tried swapping out the GRP file. I'll try to figure it out.

[Danukem]

Episode 4 isn't showing up because you are not using Atomic Edition CONs. The Dukebike mod has nothing to do with it, and if you are using the latest DP, you definitely do not want to have the Dukebike mod in addition to that, because it is now part of DukePlus.

The most likely explanation is that you have non-Atomic CONs lying around loose somewhere in your folder, and they are overriding the ones in your Atomic duke3d.grp

If you have DEFS.CON, USER.CON or GAME.CON anywhere in your Duke folder or any subfolders, delete them. Assuming that your duke3d.grp is indeed Atomic and legit, it will work.

[Spirrwell]

Yeah that was my problem, but now when I run Duke the red text is blank, it's white.

[Spirrwell]

*Bump

Would really like to fix the issue with the text in the menu being displayed as white as well as any other text in the game. Does this have something to do with the fact that I'm using HRP with it?

[Danukem]

Well it clearly has nothing to do with DukePlus. It sounds like you have a replacement for the red font installed. The previous posts established that your folder is a mess, so who knows what's going on in there.

Well I don't know, it works fine regularly with HRP. It's actually all of the fonts. I can run the DukePlus perfectly if it's run under the older graphics.

[Danukem]

Would it kill you to post a screenshot so we can see what you are talking about with the fonts?

[Stabs]

delete all .cache and that file called "textures" its probably big, these files exsist in the dukeplus dir aswell

Didn't work. As for how it looks like:


Don't mind the Duke Nukem Forever symbol. I was working on a mod a while back, but the problem persists even if I don't use the mod I'm creating.

[Stabs]

fresh dir & start again, only use the duke3d.grp file and nothing else with eduke

this is not worth the ammount of posts it will need to fix it

if all else fails you could try the eternity 1.01 full download, its pre-setup with dukeplus & the HRP all you need is duke3d.grp

[Jimmy]

Why don't you just start from a fresh install of the game and DukePlus? That sounds most logical.

mighty fine timing there captain

Ah, but yours got in first!

[Stabs]

by milliseconds

I hit post and when it refreshed his post was there heh

[Spirrwell]

Same problem even though I started over.

Edit: Still the same problem, but where on my old one that says Duke Nukem Forever, that's now also blank. It doesn't show Duke Nukem 3D.

whats your gfx card?

ATI Radeon HD 4650.

[Stabs]

Iam going to assume you have the latest drivers, maybe something you set specifically in the ati control centre could be doing it,

It works fine without dukeplus?

Yes, and DukePlus works fine if it's not in HRP mode.

[Plagman]

Try disabling texture compression.

[Spirrwell]

Bad news, after running DukePlus the regular HRP went bad. Deleting the cache files didn't do anything, but I was able to figure out how to disable the compression, that didn't work though.

[Stabs]

is your hrp stored in a zip file in edukedir\autoload\duke3d.grp\polymer_hrp.zip

the main dir of that zip should have all these E1L1.mhk files and a folder called highres, that should all be zipped up using the "STORE" compression option

It's actually duke3d_hrp.zip, and the E1L1.mhk file types are in the maphacks.zip. Also I have no clue what the STORE compression option is.

[Spirrwell]

I have the same problem with Duke Nukem Eternity.

[Danukem]

Did you try turning texture quality up to max? All the different texture filters? And when you did a clean install I hope you didn't import any cfgs from the previous install.

[Plagman]

That really looks like a driver bug, but only certain features such as texture compression or multi-texturing should really trigger it. Since I don't think these font textures have any glow or detail maps, it leaves texture compression. You could always try disabling the former if you already dealt with the latter, but it's a shot in the dark at this point. Try switching drivers?
