Straight to the point - I want to save the babes in Duke 3D World Tour.

I have used the Save the Babes mod by kid_marscat (https://kidmarscat.itch.io/savebabes) - which is great, but it only works thru eduke32, meaning it's not World Tour and does not have the 'rewind' function (to avoid starting a level over on death).

Has anyone attempted to mod World Tour to save the babes, or should I just be playing Duke 64 instead? I was told Duke 64 has the rewind feature but idk if that's true, tho I do know you can save the babes in that game. I don't want to play it because of the censorship.

Would a mod like this be reasonably doable for World Tour, or would this be too big of a project to bother with?

The mod using EDuke32 loading style(not sure if it has any actual EDuke32-only code, not an expert of CON scripting) which won't works on other versions of port engine for Duke3D.
The mod itself actually not big, just a main CON(babes.con), some DEFs (the EDuke.con just to including the vanilla game.con & babes.con for EDuke32 loading them, same to duke3d.def, to show the mod name message and load babe_tiles.def), and the asset files(tiles directory).


As one using EDuke32 for so many years...Rewind feature is good thing but for me I'm stick at old-school style of "Save and Load"...
(I can't found any information about if the Duke64 port had rewind or not...it's possible not...because EDuke32/Rednukem has no such feature as far as I know, but I could be wrong)

After some more research, I don't really care about making 'Save the Babes' mod work for World Tour - I just want to edit the .con files for World Tour so that a different sound and animation plays when you interact with babes and then have them disappear, with a message printed to the screen that says "Babe Saved", and maybe a Duke voiceline thrown in too.

This is the entire section from GAME.CON in the World Tour file directory involving the voiceline "kill me", where I'm assuming I'd replace "KILLME" with "TELEPORT" to play the teleportation sound effect - but I don't know where to start as far as animations or making them disappear afterward.

It won't let me edit my post for some reason, but thanks to the eduke32 discord I can now save the babes in World Tour Thanks again to Hendricks on discord.

In the GAME.CON file, you find this line of code:

state killme
ifinwater nullop
else
ifp pfacing
ifpdistl 1280
ifhitspace
soundonce KILLME
ends


and change it to look like this:

state killme
ifinwater nullop
else
ifp pfacing
ifpdistl 1280
ifhitspace
{
state randgetweapsnds
spawn TRANSPORTERSTAR
sound TELEPORTER
killit
}
ends

There is some time limit setting for editing posts on this forum because it was abused by people who just deleted/destroyed all texts on their post later for their own reasons, and since there was no way to know about that happens until too late and the original texts before edited(if I'm not mistake, it has to do with the forum software) so hence the restrict.


Good to know you fingered out.
