Hi,
After months of reverse engineering and reimplementing it on EDuke32 engine my RR port reached its public release state.

Rednukem is a open source project based on EDuke32 which allows you to play Redneck Rampage, Redneck Rampage: Rides Again, Duke Nukem 3D and Duke Nukem 64 with high degree of accuracy to their original DOS versions.

Current version can be considered stable, however please report any bug or problem you've encountered here.

Source code

Windows 32/64 binaries

This port is amazing. Everything one could wish for.

I've got to known the original games by heart by now and I couldn't spot any inaccuracies.
I tested it through both games and R66 and did find a few glitches but NukeyKT was very fast about fixing them.

My only grip is how a few weapons are off-centered apparently to hide the fact they're not made for widescreen. IMO this should be a setting one could turn on/off.


Random screenshots:

Spoiler

I hope you think of supporting Deer Huntin', I know it's not a great game but it'd benefit from a port the most considering half of the controls can't even be changed (and to change the rest you have to edit the cfg manually) and that the max res is 640*480.

[DavoX]

I might finally give RR a chance and finish it from start... thank you!

[Zaxx]

Cool, but yep, centered weapons ASAP.

[Micky C]

Finally a reason to play the RR games that I’d owned for countless years but never got around to!

So what’s this port’s relationship to eduke32 going forward, is the aim for it to be a single executable, some kind of front end with a shared set of code, or is it a completely seperate fork?

Also, are there any kind of quality of life improvements to the game? I’ve heard that the keys are very small and hard to find, which sounds like something that can be fixed easily.

thx for bringing redneck rampage to eduk32

Suggestion: Please add automatic detection for the games in the STEAM libary... like for duke3d and it's addons....

[Dzierzan]

Speaking of widescreen weapons. Every weapon which was cut, has been already made to be wider (some were done by me), so it's a matter of making a mini mod for that.

Now while I understand that the purpose of this port is to play RR as original as possible, you could consider making similar changes which M210 did for his port, for example colored keys.

Great stuff !

If you want to run Route 66, run Rednukem with the command line option -x game66.con
If you want to use my skyboxes, copy the zip file and use the following command line options: rrskyboxes_r02_nofuzz.zip -mh rrskyboxes_r02_nofuzz.def (depending on which version you want to use)

Personally, I find it easiest to just create a batch file, I add -nosetup redneck.grp so it start right away without having to set game in the launcher.

Time to upgrade your +12 year old computer perhaps ?

[Phredreeke]

If thirtytwo bits were good enough for Ken Silverman it oughta be good enough for us!

[Hendricks266]

Looking at the source, NukeYKT ported my method of disabling Duke's widescreen pinning to RR: In rr.def or rrra.def add "globalgameflags 1". Then you can define widescreen tiles.

Maybe, however in terms of support longevity it's still lasts longer than most of the recent consoles.

We also experience strange rendering bugs (potentially compiler bugs) in 32-bit that we need to resolve or work around before we can declare 32-bit stable.

These issues apply to RR/RRRA in addition to IM, and once fixed for one game will be fixed for all.

Did anyone else get a security warning when downloading the 64bit zip file? I received this message:

https://github-produ...e=a21ff918ca35f
This file is not commonly downloaded and may be dangerous.

After I downloaded it anyway I then had another warning pop up giving me the choice of discard or keep. I decided to discard it for now. I want to wait and see if this was a false warning or if others get the warnings too.

[HellFire]

Its obviously a false positive

[Mark]

False positive is my guess too but I wouldn't say obviously these days.

[Phredreeke]

It's pretty common for EXE files and ZIP files containing EXE files to trigger false positives in Chrome.

[Mark]

I was curious because I hadn't received these warnings before for any eduke32 related projects or files.

[Nuke.YKT]

You always can build exe by yourself if you don't trust to precompiled one

Hi

@NukeYKT

Good work so far , i saw your Videos or Demo Loops

Supports your Current Version too , Ultrawide , when yes Native or w/ Fov ?

And of course , Texture Filtering ? , i don't realy like the Classic Texture Rendering

I got the same warning. Obviously the file is 'not commonly downloaded' since it's been just uploaded by NukeYKT. After a deep scan - all clear on my end.
And believe, me after the fiasco with another trusted software, I delete anything, even false positives.

Hi, NukeYKT.
Thanks For the Great Port!
All levels in your port is more darker then in RedneckGDX. Can you fix this?
Comparsion Rednukem vs RedneckGDX.

Please do comparison against the original DOS version. Also i don't recommend using Polymer renderer as it has various rendering and performance issues with RR maps. I recommend using polymost instead.

[Tea Monster]

Thank you!

[Phredreeke]

TBH, I'm not sure how useful comparing to DOS would be, given that it too has a gamma setting. IIRC, its default setting is rather high.

[TP555]

Re

@enderandrew

Yes , that will be nice , but Reshade does improve all Graphics very much , which i want to Test with Rednukem Open Beta 6 too !

@max_nukem , gives no Slider for Gamma , Contrast like in RedneckGDX ?

By default Screengamma is cranked up to 32 in Redneck Rampage DOS.
