There was also a movie poster in the center of the screen the whole time. I started a new game, and the movie poster stayed in the center of the screen obstructing my view, making it basically unplayable.

If you don't want to see the movie poster, then disable Polymer.

EDIT: Looks like I got

NINJA'D.

Just wanted to say I played this mod for the first time in 2 years, And i just got to say that every time I play this its like I am playing it for the first time again. Thank you guys for bringing back some good memories. Cant want to see more

I am currently playing born to be wild, yet often I can't get enough acceleration to make it over the ramps, can anyone help? Thanks!

[Gambini]

It should be fairly easy to jump if you gain speed before taking the curve or go to the Lance Murdock's starting platform and go straight ahead to the ramp.

Are you using all original files for playing it. Right?

[Jim]

Yes, I using original files.

The issue is that while you can gain enough speed if you avoided everything, but if you hit something you are screwed, as there is no way to gain the the acceleration back after you slowed down?

[NightFright]

It's incredibly hard, but possible to make the jumps after having completely stopped. However, it's a lot easier to do in a continuous run - which is next to impossible, though. For me it was already hard to regularly quicksave during this sequence since you could die just the next second without being able to avoid it after you found out.

It's one of the reasons why I think these kinda levels are bad concerning gameplay.

[Trooper Dan]

I'm tempted to post a slightly modified copy of EBIKE.CON that would allow you to increase the bike's acceleration using console commands.

[Nancsi]

If you screw your game it means you need to restart. It's not a long level, you can always restart the ride.

I think the only hard part was in the second half exiting the tunnel, that was incredily mean, especially considering that the second half was generally easier with less hazardous moments. But that one hairy moment was harder and take you as a surprise more than any of the first half hazards combined.

Btw. isn't the Born to be Wild speedrun the most watched non official Duke3D level related video on youtube?

Please do. Thank you!

All right, I have attached a file. I'm going to tell you how to use it, and then I'm going to write a disclaimer.

How to use it: unpack EBIKE.CON into the game folder that contains the .exe This should, iirc, result in this script being loaded instead of the one packed inside DNF.GRP, since it has the same name and it is at root level. Keep in mind that script is compiled and is part of saved games, so this will do nothing to change any saved games you have. You would have to start a new game for it to have any effect.

So let's assume that you have started a new game and that the provided EBIKE.CON has actually been loaded. If you want to change the bike's acceleration, you will need to open up the console and change a gamevar, by typing this:

setvar powerf 240

That will increase the forward engine power from 120 (the default) to 240. You could try other numbers.

DISCLAIMERS: This is NOT an official patch. It may or may not contain bug fixes for issues with the bike that have been reported over the years. It assumes you already have the official patch which fixes the bike hud display. This file is being provided for amusement onlly, and will not be updated in the future. If it works for you, great. If not...sorry. I will say that it works fine for me when I use it with an older version of DNF (although not quite as old as the release version). EDIT: Attachment removed...like I said, it was not a patch and we don't want these files hanging around.

[Jim]

Will it work if I load a saved game from the previous level, then go into "born to be wild"?

Also, can I bind "setvar powerf 240" to a key?

As long as the saved game was created after the new code was loaded, then the new code will be in effect. You can also just start a game at the level you want with the open user map command.

You can can cycle through console commands entered in the current session by pressing the up or down arrows while the console is open. So, you should only have to type it once.

[Jim]

works good, thanks!

Holy shit, never realized how many views it had! I commented there a couple years ago I think but didn't have this many views.

[Mark]

Probably from a lot of people clicking there hoping to hear the Steppenwolf song.

Unlikely. When I search "born to be wild" on youtube, I can't even find that DNF run in the results, although I do see plenty of nature videos come up.

[Mark]

Yep, same here. If I come up with another theory I'll let you know.

Analytics tells me that a majority of views from the past four years (after the initial surge from the original upload and the mod's release period) came from suggested videos and browse features, the latter being mostly the "Recommended for you" thing that people see on their YT homepage.



A non-trivial number of views have come from searches, though. However, analytics specifies these as being almost exclusively from Duke-related search terms.

[Mr. Tibbs]

ICARUSLIV3S released a cool video checking out the 2013 mod.

[Ninety-Six]

A shame he didn't talk about the DLC much, which in my opinion hold two of the highest points the mod has to offer.

[Echelon5]

Has anyone reuploaded the latest screenshots for the new version? The account expired a while ago before I ever got the chance to see them.

[Gambini]

The problem is that Photofuckingbucket became a paid service and did the greedy move of not allowing hotlinking to free accounts´ images and made it retroactive to all the previously uploaded ones too. I lost hundreds of images because of that. I use Imgur now, i will reupload those and some new shots too at some point.

I bet you guys would love to see some of the stuff we are doing! But just be patient and always bet on me... i mean duke!

If I could only upvote more than once... This is amazing, I'm looking forward to the release... whenever it's done.

[Nancsi]

I expect this to be good.

What's the planned name of the game? Duke Nukem Forever 2018 or Duke Nukem Forever 2019?

[Gambini]

My hunch it´s it will be Duke Nukem Forever 2026

Thanks to all for the comments!

[Micky C]

Interesting concept. Better hurry up and release it before Randy steals the idea and releases Duke Nukem: Desert Bus Tour.
