Duke Nukem 3D Dosbox Launcher - Frontend
#121 Posted 25 February 2014 - 06:57 PM
Would it be better if the Launchers be implemented w/ options that mirrors D-Fend Reloaded's?

Make a list of settings for each.

Here's a list of proposed options.
- CPU: Could "Normal" & "Simple" be added or leave it as it is?
- Memory: Following are from D-Fend: Use XMS, Use EMS, Use UMB, Use Loadfix memory (xx KB), Use DOS32A (are these needed?).
- Graphics: Window Resolution=Original-through-1920x1080, Full Resolution= just like Window Resolution but add a "0x0" option in there. Is Frameskip needed?
Theoretically could there be an Ultimate DOSBox Build launcher that has all the Build games in there?

I will add but these settings only slows down the game.
2.Memory: Following are from D-Fend: Use XMS, Use EMS, Use UMB, Use Loadfix memory (xx KB), Use DOS32A (are these needed?).
Not really needed. EMS,XMS,UMB are all set to true. DOS32A not needed.
3.Graphics: Window Resolution=Original-through-1920x1080, Full Resolution= just like Window Resolution but add a "0x0" option in there. Is Frameskip needed?
So just remove 0X0, and Desktop from Window Resolution?

Put the "Desktop" & "Original" options on both Window & Full. Move the "0x0" from the Window Resolution to the Full Resolution settings.

I also got an idea for users who don't have Duke 3D yet but have Duke 1 & 2. Can you include the "Install Duke 1 & 2" from either GOG.com or Steam version (also the same thing w/ WWII GI & NAM) in the "Start Game" tab from a fresh extraction of the launcher .zip?

However, maybe it would be better to include slightly different default keys? You chose a setup very similar to EDuke32 standard (WASD with mouselook) but this creates certain conflicts. For example, the Spacebar is mapped to both jump and open. In Shadow Warrior it's even worse since there's an item that activates with the S key and whenever you push it to move backwards you activate the item as well.

Will these bug fixes apply to all launchers? Also whenever I click to install GOG or CD. Next the game starts, then I quit the game and the launcher closes. This is normal huh? This happens to all launchers I think.

Yes, on installs it needs to close so that. the new items show up in the menu the next time you startup.
Duke of Hazzard, what default keys would you like?
I check to see why I made Space bar and e as the open button. In duke Nukem 3D when you die is has a message to press space bar to restart Level.
This only works if you have Space bar as the Open key. In Shadow Warrior Space bar will restart level even if it is not setup as open key. So I will remove
Space Bar as the open key, and make e the open key only.

I have no idea of what would be most comfortable for Shadow Warrior, since the devs just used the keys labeled after the letter the name of the item starts with. "S" is used for Smoke Bomb, so maybe "B"?

OK, I will remove S and add B for Smoke Bomb, and that should take care of the keys that are use twice.

Would you guys know how not to make it sound like shit? Apparently it's forced to using my win32 midi settings; so would there be a program or something that can make any midi on my computer sound better? Thanks.
What's weird is that midis sounded absolutely fine when playing Blood, SW, RR series and Powerslave in DOSbox...

I'll keep an eye out on WWII GI coming to Steam. Also WWII GI and NAM coming to GOG.com
That'll add to the to-do list besides compatibility w/ the 3D Realms Anthology and the solo games from 3D Realms website.
