Good work on the music though it seems like it does not yet properly loop.

I created this topic to make it easier for you to download and install the game.

Thanks. I am completely new here, long time Duke fan since the days

Trying to run DF 2001 Leak on Win 7 x64, on GTX 1650

- Created C:\Duke
- Copied October files
- Running System\Duke Forever.exe
- Gfx card is detected, settings set to high
- Game fails even at creating user, does not accept it

When I copy august files, same, cant get past creating user

When I copy megapatch files, I get nice game GUI and can create profile, but when I select level and
click on its pic I get debugging crash log that oje can send to devs with all my sys info


Does on need to run *.bat files to build it (like megabuild.bat and resetconfig.bat)


Hope someone will make some easier to set and run build + patches included all in one


Updare: Works on Windows 11 on same hardware.

In other news, as an old Amigan I can also proudly say Duke 3D has also been ported to Amiga in 2022
https://amitopia.com...port-amiga-aga/

There were tries before that, but buggy and incomplete such as

High likes

- Duke in UnReal Engine
- Interesting interactivity with objects and mini games
- Driving motor bike, Area 51, some of crazy ideas
- Deja Vu level
- Way more Duke then official DF 2011

And thanks for evey effort to make the game more enjoyable in this "half life" state.

On sidenote, there is a level where pic are two girls kissing, but that level alone, wont load. Is this "normal"?

No luck for me either, even after applied the megapatch i'm having the same problem. looks like the engine is not detecting the D8 render, and fallback to the software render.

Edit: Hmm, after looking the INI files, there *seems* that there is a third render called 'GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice', nobody tried this one?

Edit2: WOO, I made it work!



I edited the file Players/Duke/DukeForever.ini, to use the Glide render, so first go to the [Engine.Engine] part, there should be this:

[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
AudioDevice=Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem
NetworkDevice=Engine.TcpNetDriver
DemoRecordingDevice=Engine.DemoRecDriver
Console=dnWindow.DukeConsole
Language=int
GameEngine=Engine.GameEngine
EditorEngine=Editor.EditorEngine
WindowedRenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
DefaultGame=dnGame.dnSinglePlayer
DefaultServerGame=dnGame.dnSinglePlayer
ViewportManager=Engine.WindowsClient
Render=Render.Render
Input=Engine.Input
Canvas=Engine.Canvas

And I changed every D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice to GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice (only in the [Engine.Engine] part don't go further). it should be like this:

[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
AudioDevice=Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem
NetworkDevice=Engine.TcpNetDriver
DemoRecordingDevice=Engine.DemoRecDriver
Console=dnWindow.DukeConsole
Language=int
GameEngine=Engine.GameEngine
EditorEngine=Editor.EditorEngine
WindowedRenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
RenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
DefaultGame=dnGame.dnSinglePlayer
DefaultServerGame=dnGame.dnSinglePlayer
ViewportManager=Engine.WindowsClient
Render=Render.Render
Input=Engine.Input
Canvas=Engine.Canvas

However it increased loading times for some reason, so be patient.
Hope this helped.

Hi. Thanks for this. I tried it but unfortunately I still have graphical bugs. Its running in the right resolution and in fullscreen though so Im not sure how to fix it. Can someone help please.

Thanks! It´s already set to D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice, and no luck.

October 26 build without the Megapatch does work though, but I get glitchy models everywhere. The View weapons specially (or anything i get very close to).

Doesn't work for me with neither the intact .ini file nor with the edit...

I copied the megapatch into the October directory, the I copied the contents of the october directory into C:\Duke4\ as I read that it helps to have a short path, but nothing, the best I get is a black window with the Megadeth theme song...

if I try to play a level directly from DukeEd, I get the HUD, crosshair and black window...

I'm thinking to try this on one of my retro computers, anyone knows which Windows was this originally aimed to? Was it still the age of Windows 98SE, back in 2001?

I also wonder, what's that "CannibalEd.exe" for?

Cannibal is a model editor I believe but I haven’t been able to run it

[icecoldduke]

Has anyone got this to compile yet? Also do we know what the cpj model format is yet?

I saw alot of people run into issues getting this to run, but after running the editor everything else seemed to work for me aftering copying the mega patch.

It compiles fine in a Windows XP VM following the instructions included with the leak, I also have a working CMake build that compiles under VS 2022, but it's still a work in progress and I don't have much time to dedicate to it currently. If you're interested, hit me up in private messages and I can give you access to the current repository (it's not public yet since it needs cleanup and more work.)

"cpj" stands for "Cannibal ProJect", it's basically the next step after source files before models are imported into the game, there's a WIP Blender importer here. Cannibal is a custom skinning tool they wrote for DNF.

ICDNF2001 is happening?

Definetely down to see what's there, a co-worker of just showed me the leak yesterday and I'm seeing what they have in there. So if anyone gets a blackscreen on startup I had to start with -NOSOUND cause their galaxy audio library crashes with a garbage callstack.

Probably the first thing I'd want to tackle is re-writing the audio system(if no one is doing that already) so I can have audio.

I've only seen the liztroop working, does anyone know if there is other monsters in the game?

[Jimmy]

EDF soldiers and their head spiders, Pig Cops, Octabrains, zombies, ground tentacles, maybe some minor stuff I'm forgetting. There is a boss enemy in one of the Vegas maps but the model is like 10% complete and you can't kill it.

[OpenMaw]

It is interesting to me that the octabrains don't have their psychic attacks yet implemented.

They most definitely do, it just doesn't happen very often. They also have "telekinetic" attacks where they can throw you around, which can be toggled per-Octabrain.
Here is a really shitty screenshot of being thrown by an Octabrain:

This is eerily similar to a dream I once had...

[Šneček]

Recently the original DNF from 2001 leaked, now i see that Critical Mass is out too.... (even though critical mass was apparently leaked before dnf)

https://forums.duke4...-been-released/

What else is left? Duke Nukem: Endangered Species? And nothing else after it?
Anyway, I like this current fad of "releasing" never-released Duke Nukem prototypes very much.

[Kristian Joensen]

How far did Duke Nukem D-Day get in its development?

The top priority is, of course, Endangered Species Hunter, and I'm sure all us Dukers in the community have now switched our sights to aggressively pursue this new target.

Then we need to get a dump of the cancelled DS game: https://forums.duke4...-ds-discovered/

Then we need to get those cut lizard men from Duke Caribbean: Life's a Beach.

Then I suppose there's the entire history of Duke 3D betas and the rest of the DNF lineage of builds, but we've got to have those lizard men, damn it!

[MusicallyInspired]

The DS game wasn't cancelled it got released.

[Lunick]

Critical Mass got released, Duke Nukem DS did not.

[OpenMaw]

I can see the confusion there though. In some regions i've seen Critical Mass referred to as "Duke Nukem DS."

I've seen a few screens from ES. I know a couple people are holding onto it. It would be really cool to see more of it and compare it with Vivisector.

[MusicallyInspired]

Actually, I didn't know there was another Duke Nukem DS game besides Critical Mass. My mistake.

EDIT: Looking it up, now I have vague memories of it. Don't know how I forgot about that.

[Kristian Joensen]

Wasn't Critical Mass just the first episode of a planned Trilogy of games or is that Trilogy different from Duke Nukem DS?

[MusicallyInspired]

Oh yeah. There was a trailer and everything.

[KirbyGod]

Am I the only one that when I ran the game, Duke looked like a cop and had a paper in his hand that I could not get rid of. In other words Duke looked like the cops he fights on top of the building. Can someone link to the most recent update. This game looks half way fun.

[MusicallyInspired]

If you're seeing a cop in the mirror and distorted polygons in front of you, you have not applied the proper patches to get the build working properly. When working right it should be a Duke model with no sunglasses and no pupils in his eyes. Read through the thread this has been addressed many times.

To that end, has there been any further stability patches, "official" (insofar as the term can be applied to the initial leak and patch) or otherwise in the time since?

[Gorilla]

Sorry to be tardy to the party gentlemen, but has any one of you einstein-types made the level editor work yet? I dont know jack from jill but if I could figure a way to cook up a level of my own and load it into the game i'd be more than willing to try and learn the old magic.
