Linux support could be better. I managed to get it working with an installed version of eduke32 by either completely replacing my ~/.eduke32 directory or by using the -usecwd option.

I wish it would be as easy as unpacking and putting the DNF folder into ~/.eduke32 and selecting it in the "custom game" list.

Try creating a file called "dnf.grpinfo" with these contents:

grpinfo
{
    name "DNF 2013"
    scriptname "dnfgame.con"
    size yourgrpsize
    dependency DUKE15_CRC
    flags GAMEFLAG_ADDON
    crc yourgrpcrc
}

You will need to replace "yourgrpsize" and "yourgrpcrc" with the correct values obtained from the output of "fileinfo dnf.grp" (I don't have time to look the values up right now). Then, you will be able to just pick it out of the little GRP selector thing in the startup window.

"There are literally almost 50 Polygons in this screenshot" - Has Gambini sicked his legal eagles on these guys yet? I mean, suggesting that the DNF team would use p*lygons - the nerve!!!

On that subject, it is highly amusing how they did try to create a lot of commotion by trolling and now accuse others of this for pointing out their own transgressions. Lulz all round.

Real men don't need polygons.

Excuse my ignorance, but isn't Build engine based on polygons? The only difference I can think is that it's built on a 2D plane, not 3D.

I really didn´t consider his expressed opinion important. After all he´s just putting a show for checkpoint-healthregen-generation newfags.

Uhf not that again. My definition of creating a lot of conmotion by trolling would include offtopic posts or desesperate attemps to bring attention to our mod. We only released a video and answered questions on a thread that we didn´t even create. When everybody especulated and generated drama, we played their game a bit.

Right.

C'mon guys! Finish the DLC already so we have something else to talk about.

Nope, no luck here.

I couldn't use fileinfo for some reason, I used cksum instead for the same information (crc 585915206 filesize 55469326)

My setup is ~/.eduke32 containing only duke3d.grp DUKE.RTS and the content of DNF.zip in a folder named DNF.
I tried putting dnf.grpinfo in the data folder or in the DNF folder. I played with the "name" and "scriptname" variables and the filename to see if it wasn't a stupid lettercase problem or folder name but no luck either. It never loads DNFGAME.CON nor gives me any output indicating it's taking into account dnf.grpinfo

The only positive is I realised I didn't have to use -usecwd and just do -gDNF.GRP -xDNFGAME.con in the DNF folder to make it work. Saves me from having duplicates of duke3d.grp everywhere.

[TerminX]

Oh, you need to put the files referenced by the grpinfo into a place where EDuke32 can see them... either move them into the root dir or use the -j param to add the dir to the stack. I should have specified.

[jarreboum]

Can't make it work, sorry. DNF.GRP is seen and checksummed, it appears in grpfiles.cache but nowhere in the GUI.

[Helixhorned]

Here's how I usually set up mods/TCs under Linux. An example shell script is attached. Note that I usually run EDuke32 under GDB. In the case of a crash or a hang, if you're running the release build, you'd need to change to a text terminal with e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F1 and kill the process. Also something to watch out for is that mods developed on Windows have case mismatches of the file names between the resource definition files and the ones on the file system. The DNF modders got it right, though.

WOW! I've just played it for the first time. Awesome episode. Absolutely outstanding! So many great ideas, and the ending LOL. 10/10

[Gambini]

Never it´s too late! and glad you liked it!

Hey everyone, the new episode by my and Davox isn't too far off. While there still needs to be some tweaks in things like music and file formatting, the maps themselves are completely finished.

We would like some beta testers to try it out and give some feedback. It's 3 maps, and should take roughly 30-40 minutes. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Here are some old screens of my map in case people have forgotten. I can assure you that Davox's maps look extra juicy, but I'm not going to spoil them

[Gambini]

eh! First DLC is comming out and it´s something a bit better than that "hail to the icons parody pack".

[djdori11]

Awesome!!
Is this part of it?:

I would like to beta test for you. The screens look great and I would like to get my hands on it.

No. That´s something I was working on. My post refered to Davox´s and Micky´s work.

[Micky C]

Thanks for helping out blizzart, I've sent you the files.

There's still room for another beta tester or two if anyone's interested. The maps have already been internally beta tested, so it's more a matter of catching anything that us mappers have missed because we've played through it so many times that we stop noticing smaller things.

[Loke]

Since you helped out testing my map I can return the favor if you'd like.

[Micky C]

Thanks

i suppose the new episode addon is a hoax as well?

It's a reference to a previous infamous joke made about the project.
