I've decided to release a Beta of my Duke Nukem 3D Forever mod because I just dont have the time to work on it anymore, I'm so freaking busy with work and all I can barely touch it, so I've put it together as a unfinished Beta so you all can play what I've done so far, it is not finished and it is not perfect, but I would rather release a beta of it rather than leaving it on my PC not being able to find the time to finish it.

So here you go:


Here is the link on moddb.com:
http://www.moddb.com...orever-v10-beta

Since this is unfinished there are alot of things missing:
-No new Overlord Sprite
-Some Babes arnt done
-Keycard opening FPS hand not done
and some others I'm too tired to list.

But this mod pack contains a lot of new sprites and sound that I think you guys might enjoy and sorry it took so long, but this is my first mod, so it aint perfect, but I hope you guys enjoy it.

I think that's great!
Are these monsters full animated already?
A video would be nice.

[Ronin]

Cool idea, good luck with it. I think the sprites could use a higher saturation or a change to their colour values as they seem too dull, also Duke in the mirrior seem really fat for some reason.

[Jinroh]

Wow this is looking really nice. ^^ I especially like the shots in the Stadium. ^^

[Tea Monster]

LMAO - We WILL mod DNF, even if we have to do it in DN3D!

Seriously though, it's looking good.

Looking forward to the Octabrains

[Tepesimpaled]

I really like the progress you have made already. How are you rendering the sprites? It looks like only the difuse/color map is being rendered. The lack of a normal/bump map and spec map may be what makes them look so flat and under saturated or poorly lit. Depending on how you are rendering these sprites if possible adding back the missing maps may produce better results. Either way I'm impressed with how well these sprites are looking.

I'm also looking forward to doing the Octabrains Currently Im working on the FPS sprites and then I'm prob gonna do the strippers

[Player Lin]

Nice job for put DNF shit into DN3D. Just awesome...

I've edited the RPG and made it better

My 3DS Max program seems to have some problems right now, its rendering the pictures into png format but they end up being corrupted and the game dosnt read them, so for the time being I'm gonna have to make the sprites in my posing program until I can figure out why 3DS Max is giving me shit.

That's the Duke from the 2007 DNF trailer, that's not fat, its all muscle.


Also can anyone tell me how to make the sprite stretch longer? My Ripper Sprite always gets squeezed down and looks ugly, I need to be able to stretch it.

Also changing the dummytile dimensions will of course affect the final image size.

Like it. Almost wish you had downrezzed the imported sprites and bump up the saturation so they'd fit with the colorful tone and resolution of the rest of the game.

I was just about to say that. I'd really love it if you'd convert the sprites to the duke palette, and to the same dimensions as the original art.

None of that makes sense to me


I've given the RPG and the Cycloid more color so they look a lot better.

[Ronin]

Way better, good job, the eye might look better a brighter red but he really looks like he belongs there. Any chance you could upload a video? I would like to see how they look moving.

I'm gonna upload a video once I'm satisfied with their movements, the Cycloid is pretty much ready to go, but I think the Battlelord is gonna need some movement work done.

Could you tell me which one I'm meant to read? Look at the Cycloid pic I just uploaded and see how the Ripper is squeezed down, I wanna change that. I'm kind of a noob at Eduke modding.

[Mblackwell]

You're meant to read both. But for now if you read about "dummytile" under Def Language that will help you understand what I mean. The dimensions of any textures you import are constrained to the dimensions of the ART tile. Dummytile allows you to redefine tiles or create new ones. It will create a blank tile in that spot with the dimensions you tell it to have.

Doesn't look bad, but I'd look out for a Cease and Desist in your future.

Yeah, I wouldn't be too open about your project. I gather that Gearbox monitors these forums frequently.

[Ronin]

[xMobilemux]

If thats the case then I'll just show off some stuff I've done so far


I'm still gonna work on this project unless I get told to stop by the guys at 2K or GBX

I can do it for him I think. I just don't know exactly how it's supposed to be typed out in the DEF file. Here is how he's replacing the sprites currently:

texture 2524 { pal 0 { file "autoload/duke3d.grp/dukemod/sprites/firstperson/2524.png" } }

Can you add that stuff to that line of code to adjust the dimensions, etc., or does it have to be a whole new line or what? If you or somebody could use that line of code and type us out an example, we'd be good to go. I can do it for him, I just need to see a full example of how it's done. I've been wanting to know how to do this myself as well.

dummytile 2524 x-dimension y-dimension
texture 2524 { pal 0 { file "autoload/duke3d.grp/dukemod/sprites/firstperson/2524.png" } }

eg

dummytile 2524 60 100
texture 2524 { pal 0 { file "autoload/duke3d.grp/dukemod/sprites/firstperson/2524.png" } }

Thanks! I've been wanting to know how to do it for a long time.

This is looking pretty damn awesome!

[Diaz]

If you have a way to render the weapons with a higher fov (around 90) they would look much better!

[Tepesimpaled]

I really like the progress you have been making so far. The Cycloid is coming along really nicely. I almost wonder if what you have for the Battle Lord would work for the Overlord since there isn't a model that will work correctly.

It looks like the DNF babes will work well too. Is there any chance you can render them out in the full 5 or so views and edit the def or con to make them less like cardboard cut outs?

All I know is I can't wait to use this mod with the HRP textures. It might just be the best looking why to play Duke Nukem 3D.
