Hey all, just to clarify Yes, I do have the latest duke3d...1.5 atomic edition along with all the expansions..yada yada..

Anywho...my problem with duke in dc is that when I load the game up and goto new game, I don't see the DC episodes...I see the atomic ones...

So that forces me to goto user map and select dukedc.map my self but for some reason when I do that, the games music doesn't work..gah..and then the second annoying part is that I need to manually select each next map after completing the last..

I have made a batch to load duke dc and followed the dukedc_hrp.zip txt files exactly, and yet this problem still occurs...

and secondly, my nuclear winter problem:

I have a similar problem to Dc, in the new game menu, I don't see the episodes of NW...but i know the whole e2 trick that if you select the 2nd episode it loads normally...which isnt a big bother but its a little silly the menu is wrong..

The other MAJOR problem I have with nuclear winter is that not all of the enemies are models, some are sprites...and for some odd reason the pigcop aliens are frozen in place, and the snowmen also...they don't attack...they just stand there???

the other enemies attack normally but not pigcops for some odd reason, they are frozen in place..lol in winter...funny aint it.

I had to make my own batch also to run NW hrp....when i use the batch that came with NWhrp it always says this error:

"Error(s) found in file 'NWEDuke.con'. do you want to use the internal defaults?

no matter if i choose yes or no, the game doesn't launch that way...so i made my own launch batch....

Whats weird is that, the file the error talks about is a file included in the hrpzip, not NW..

Whats the deal here? lol please help me if you can.

[Hendricks266]

I sincerely hope you did not put the NWHRP in autoload. Or the Duke D.C. HRP for that matter. Before I throw guesses, post the contents of your eduke32.log file.

[Guerilla85]

I did in the beginning and then removed them, why does it break something if I did in the beginning?

let me go grab that log brb..

You need to add /xNWEDuke.con to your batch file. Then post the log once you have.

Also, make sure that you do not have "duke3d.def" in your EDuke32 directory, loose. I used to use an indirect method to add in the highres content that the Duke DC HRP used, but it was kinda stupid so I changed it for the next version.

I have no duke3d.def in the same folder as eduke, but still dc episodes arent showing up in the new game menu like they should, and the music still won't play..

As for nuclear winter, i still get that NWEDuke.con error, and pigaliens are still frozen along with the snowmen...

gah i give up...im gonna go play carribean, atleast THAT works lol!....even though alot of the enemies are still sprites and the weapons...it works atleast unlike nuclear winters frozen aliens...and dc's lack of music and episode menu working

[Hendricks266]

Well, thanks for reporting this. Keep in mind that the reason so many things are sprites is because the models for them have not been done yet. I will release a new version within the coming months.

[Guerilla85]

oh I see, I thought alot of things being sprites was a bug, i guess I was wrong...

and your welcome for the report, any word on how i can unfreeze my pigaliens and snowmen for NW?

or the duke dc musicless problem?

[Hendricks266]

The only way you can "unfreeze" the pigs, snowmen, and Santa is by loading the CONs. I have never seen the error you presented before. Check your PMs.

For the Duke DC musicless problem, post your log of that as well.

[Guerilla85]

heres the duke in dc log, I load the game i get the whole hail to the chief music startup and goto new-game and there is the duke nukem regular 3d and atomic episodes...

so i had to load the maps manually which means no cool music.

From what I understand, it looks like the game is loading the duke3datomic cons instead of the duke dc cons which in my folder are named:

dcdefs.con
dcuser.con
dcgame.con

[Guerilla85]

I actually found a workaround for my duke dc, heres what I did..:


I went into the dcuser.con and changed a few things, then I removed user.con of duke3d while launching duke dc

I launched, and duke in dc appeared in the new menu...it loaded properly

with music!

its a makeshift way of doing it but, i had to lol..

As for nuclear winter im going into the nwuser.con and changing the mapnames from nw1.map or w/e to e2l1 e2l2....etc so it loads properly

I'd like to thank you so much for all of your help thanks so much.

[Hendricks266]

You're very welcome! Bug reports help me to make my packs more user/noob friendly.

[Skizzo321]

I'm sorry for being a total noob, but I'm having the same issue as you were, so what exacty did you do to make it work?

[roxsoriku]

Ok... I'm having the same issue with Nuclear Winter, but i'm not using the hrp.... the pig cops and snwomen are frozen, and the correct titles for the levels won't show up. Were you able to fix this? i could really use some help, ive been trying to fix this for a while.

[Hendricks266]

Add this to your command line, if you are not using my NWHRP/NW+:

/xNWINTER.CON

[roxsoriku]

Ok, sorry i'm kind of stupid but i don't know how to do that... i'm trying to figure it out, how do you do that with eduke32?

[Hendricks266]

Open notepad. Paste this in:

eduke32.exe /gNWINTER.GRP /xNWINTER.CON

Go to save as. Make sure you've selected "All Files" and not "Text Documents (*.txt)". Save your file as nw.bat, or something similar with a .bat extension.



Shameless plug: Keep an eye out for my release of NW+ 2.0. There are numerous bugs in the original programming and art that I've fixed, even in 8-bit classic mode without the highres art, plus Roland SC-55 music.

[roxsoriku]

okay, thank you for the help... nothing seemed to change though... the sprites are still frozen, and the titles of the levels dont appear, ... i tried clicking on the batch file that you told me to put it, and then eduke32 comes up, i try starting Nuclear Winter, but then it tells me it found an error in the NWINTER.CON file... has the original poster gotten this problem fixed btw? and thank you for any help, i really wanna play duke nuclear winter again, its the last one i need to beat again, ive been playing all of the games over again, they're the best.

[Hendricks266]

I wouldn't be surprised if the NW CONs contain fatal errors for EDuke32.

The only thing I can suggest is using Duke3DW, ProAsm's vastly inferior source port, based on JFDuke3D like EDuke32. It won't contain the sophisticated error control of EDuke32.

[roxsoriku]

alright, well thanks though

[Franpa]

I would check this out but, the Nuclear Winter installer is 16bit which doesn't work under 64bit O/S :'(

[supergoofy]

You can always use dosbox. And there are many frontends for it. You can download D-Fend Reloaded (it includes dosbox): http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/

Or a custom cvs build that has a menu: http://ykhwong.x-y.net/

[Franpa]

I think there is only a Windows 16bit installer, no DOS one so DOSBox won't work. I also heard there was someone here who made a patch to convert SSI to GRP? that would eliminate a need for the installer.

[supergoofy]

it was me. so once more here:

dukedc_patch.zip
http://www.mediafire...php?grkdglhwnry

vacation_patch.zip
http://www.mediafire...php?ljduvmtmzlm


and the installer is dos based. in dosbox you need to set cputype=386_prefetch or use the patched installer.


note: maybe someone could merge all topics about dukedc and vacation in one topic and make it sticky.

[Lunick]

I agree with supergoofy, too many people keep asking
