I don't think that was ever discussed and I think we should leave it open. There really is no need to specify a year.
AMC TC released - Merry x-mas! "One hell of a christmas present"
#332 Posted 16 February 2012 - 07:54 AM
After playing some user maps with the TC in order to increase the AMC budget I started to wonder if there is any specific rule to calculate the amount you recieve after completing a level.
Does it depend on the ammount of enemies killed? Or is it a set reward for all levels?

You get 1k of budget for every 30 enemies you kill, plus 1 extra by default - if there's less than 30 enemies it rounds up so you always get at least 2k for every map beaten 
As for the year, it's exactly as Mikko states - IW got tied down badly by setting a date especially since the actual date was old by the time it was finally released. Considering that AMC TC considers many Duke mods as well as Blood and SW to be actual 'events' setting a date would just make it very hard to work them together. It's something that's best left off

Gonna ask here - anybody interested in voicing the friendly russian character Vladmir for The Revolution levels? TX said he'd like to do it but I imagine he's just been too busy so I'm 'opening' up the role for anybody else interested.
I'll update you guys on progress as well; I'm adding the Gold trophy weapons before the patch release as well as a few other minor things. So far I've got 2 down with 6 more to go. The idea behind the gold weapons is that you can get them by beating the episode on Expert. They cost ALOT of base budget, but are effective against ALL enemy types. This will help for beating the episode in Professional mode; if you can do that and get Platinum trophies on all levels than some more guns and stuff will be available for Episode 2.

Highwire did a terrific job voicing himself ("Hail to the Tsar, baby"). Maybe if he toned down the "roughness" in his voice it would sound convincingly enough for a new character?
#336 Posted 29 February 2012 - 02:13 PM
Nah, he already tones it down for his cutscene dialogue (and rightly so since I imagine it'd tear up his vocal chords 
) so it'd be clear that he was voicing another character.

I might be able to do a Ruski depending on the lines. Might be insultingly James-Bond-Villianish though.

That's not a problem, I'm looking for a cheesy russian accent anyways
I'll send you the lines.

Is there another patch for this coming soon? I still haven't played it since it was released, because I kept thinking there would be another update and I wanted to wait until it was as fixed and finalized as possible.
#340 Posted 11 March 2012 - 02:11 AM
Yeah, it shouldn't be too long now. It fixes alot of bugs but also introduces some new content so it'll be worth playing again for everybody.
#341 Posted 14 March 2012 - 04:32 AM
Hi everyone; I recently completed my first playthrough of this wonderful mod and I just wanted to say that this was really the best total conversion that I ever played, it is really excellent work ! Can't wait for further updates !
I have a few questions though:
1. Where do I need to unzip the v1.07 patch ?
2. I completed the episode once but I'm puzzled about something: In Millhaven, in one of the kindergarten houses, there are 2 locked doors that need a key (they are in the same building as that portal to the hellish region where you pick up another key that opens another weapon cache in the same building). But I haven't found a key for those other doors ! Where can I find it ?

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 
You just need to unzip the patch into the mod's main directory - as for the Kindergarten house in Millhaven, you get a single key and have to choose which one out of all the doors in that house to unlock. They all have different supplies and weapons inside, so you grab a different one each time you play it

I've added something not really significant but useful anyways. This flashing bar shows up over equipment that you haven't checked out yet, moving the cursor over the item will remove the new tag. I've also colour-coded the items on the list so that it's easier to tell what's been unlocked by what.

Looks great! Still waiting for the patch and then I will finally give this a thorough play.

Deer lord, I can't say that I've ever experienced a Duke Nukem TC as incredible as that! The story was rich, the new weapons worked greatly, and I loved the characters. The only part that I wasn't thrilled by was Highwire's missions. Also, were some of the characters that are selectable in the Classics mode supposed to be in early versions of the game, but got cut out; like the robo-suit wearing girl ( can't remember her name ) ?
#351 Posted 09 April 2012 - 05:44 PM
TC looks great i looked forward to playing it.
but links in 1st post don't work. And the links in the wiki page don't work.
When you have a moment please update the 1st post and let us know.
Quick question: do all the little updates (1.05 1.06 1.07) need to be applied or is the latest update comprehensive of all of them?

Jane's the girl in the robo-suit - they're basically minor characters who were made to be playable for story purposes (Like John is playable towards the end of of 'For providence')

I tried to load a savegame, however game crashes:

(compressed): read -1, expected 1!
read: Bad file descriptor
sv_loadsnapshot: doloadplayer2() returned -2.
Loading save game file "dukesav0.esv" failed (code 5), cannot recover.
Any advice?
EDIT:
Nevermind. I "solved" this. I played some custom map and saved game to slot #2. Then slot #1 started to work.....Yeap...

Why does it say " You've created a time paradox! " when the DIS Base explodes, and when the place blows up in some of the classics missions?

Because it's a reference to MGS3, put in during the beginning stages of development when AMC TC's general feel wasn't yet established. At the time the feel of the mod was slightly tongue in cheek and as more of a AMC community gag but as development carried on, as gameplay improved and many other features were added the TC's general feel was made more serious rather than 4th-wall breaking stuff, but a few smaller things still remained in the game

Okay, this is my last annoying question about the game, I PROMISE!
Why is it that with John, the PDA says "World Info", with the Cultist ( I like that you can play as a cultist ) it says " Member Bios ", with Merlijn's brother ( forgot his name already ) it has "Ally Info"? ( Also, Jane's PDA says "Statistics" but because she only works for the EDF I suppose she got a different one, which would make sense. )
PS: Thanks for tolerating my annoying questions!

A code oversight, those guys should really have different PDAs (Especially the Cultist) I don't mind the questions, it's nice to see some more interest from people!

I don't mind the questions, it's nice to see some more interest from people!I am sorry if this question was asked before but what inspired you to develop the TC ?
For example, i made a horror game 2 years back, after all those years of watching crazy movies, internet videos and playing the scariest and strangest games, i created some ideas over the years and put these in my game, but never finished it.
So another question, what kept you motivated to finish the TC ?
