Some minor stuff nicked from beta screenshots.


Skull icon used in the health box and kills box on various versions of the HUD.


Infinity symbol used in early versions of the HUD. And a smaller version made by me.
-

Alternate HUD numbers font from early versions of the game, and I made a blue version.
-

Blue dot used to indicate multiplayer colour in the HUD.

Great ones!

Where and how did you get them? Those would be very cool to use. How about any other beta stuff from Duke 3D like these did you find or something? Any beta skybox?

[Jimmy]

I ripped them out of screenshots. As I stated in that post.

Nice!

[DavoX]

Freakin awesome!

[Fox]

The same real-life buildings from the final version LA night sky can be seen there, if anyone is wondering.

[Radar]

I'd love to play the original game with that. Someone better use that in a mod.

[Fox]

It's not easy, since Duke 3D / Eduke32 stretches all paralaxed skies as if they are 128 px wide textures.

[Gambini]

You need to use "pieces" of 128x400 to build a set (you can use five at least) and then make them replace moonsky or bigorbit. In the past it was possible to build your own set, by using a trick I can´t remember (of which Mikko told me) but it got "fixed" at some point. Maybe it is possible to re-enable it via con code?

[Fox]

I remember seeing that trick with a LR&WB level.

[Jimmy]

Basically, you would create a set that has the same amount of tiles and dimensions, and then in the map you would have a parallaxed sky that was bigorbit somewhere, and then put the new sky everywhere else. I'm not sure if this trick got fixed.

[Cage]

Beta font. This is the one seen in few of the early Dukematch shots and in the beta video too, I think. "Killed Death2all" is the only message seen on the screenshots, so I've made all the missing characters myself.

Did you do that one yourself? that one's pretty cool

How about you would make one of those buildings in the background
being heavily damaged? (building as it appears in the shot with flamethrower and
the shot was seen in one of the scans)

[Mikko Pekkola]

Where's that mountain from?

Yes that is it. And it was "fixed" at least when we tried it for our mod. Should be enabled again.

[Mikko Pekkola]

At least i could try and create my own set of that skybox inspired from duke 3d beta
and replace it to the retail version of the L.A skybox which is used in "L.A Meltdown" and "Shrapnel City"
and also used in some levels of "The Birth" in Duke 3D Atomic

Why would someone fix that? Unfix it, damnit! That's such a cool feature!

I think it was not a very solid "feature". There is a bigorbit texture in Area 51, yet the red sky still works. If I had to guess it probably relies on the ID order of the sectors, which is something you must get rid of.

Well, the age-old programming wisdom holds that what's written down is all you get. Negotiate an officially supported feature instead of relying on bugs . (But not here.)

[Jimmy]

Yeah, it's a hack. It'd be much better if there was a way to code in new ones. Is that possible? I haven't a clue.

[Gambini]

True but there are a couple of broken mods now, mods that relied on that bug.

The age old mapping wisdom holds that a bug that has been exploited for something cool has won a place on the supported features lounge.
