Not everything is how I wanted, but I am tired of delaying.



Download link

Installation

Unpack the content from the .zip file. A copy of DUKE3D.GRP (Atomic Edition version) in the same directory of Eduke32 executable is required. In Eduke32 setup screen, select “duke64” in the “Custom game content directory” option.

Recommended settings

To faithfully reproduce the console experience, choose the linear texture filter, and turn off switching weapons on pick-up.

Rendering mode

Polymer is not supported, due to incompatibility with the maps extracted from the ROM.

Known bugs

There are some bugs are I am aware of, most of them are related to Eduke32, which is beyond my power. In particular, the Grenade Launcher projectiles are dragged to the floor height in submersible sectors.

Thanks Fox this is awsome

All we need now is a Zero Hour mod.

Edit: Oh yeah, I haven't tried this mod yet, but my friend has and he says thanks for it. He's been playing an older Duke 64 mod.

[Fox]

Eww, Zero Hour would be way too complicated. Even if we managed to extract the map files from the ROM, the format probably would have too many differences from regular Build maps.

[NUKEMDAVE]

It might be possible to extract from the rom. It would be interesting to just get into it and see what there is. I found this, but I already tried it:

It seems to only work with that particular rom.

Wow awesome! played the first 2 levels and it seems identical to the original, and with the PSX music it's 9999% better!
Thanks a lot!

Yeah a Zero Hour mod is probably gonna be the best Duke game ever (well, after 3D of course)
Although I finished it using emulator with mouse controls and save states and it was almost like a PC game.. So you can do that meanwhile at least..

[MusicallyInspired]

Yey! Can't wait to try this! Been waiting a long time! Thanks for your hard work, Fox!

I won't be using the PSX soundtrack. Gross. A nice addition for those who like it, though.

Nuh uh, that soundtrack is awesome.

[MusicallyInspired]

Remain deluded if you want to.

[OpenMaw]

"Let's Rock!"

Nice to have a proper PC port of this. Well done!

[Jimmy]

Cheers Fox. Been waiting for ages!

The PSX soundtrack is great in it's own right, but most of the tracks don't jive with Duke really. Too dance-y.

[Fox]

Since the Nintendo port has no music, I tought it would be a good idea to give the option.

I wonder if anyone will be interested in working on the HRP textures for the 64 version...

[LkMax]

Finally, I will be able to play both this mod and ROTT now. it'll be a good weekend, hehe.

[supergoofy]

@Fox, thanks for Duke64 Mod. Great work. I played the first two levels and now I'm on the 3rd. Very close to the original experience.

I really liked the options of the music pack. It is essential in my opinion (at least for a pc gamer who played Duke3D before).

[OpenMaw]

I know you're probably aware of this glitch Fox, but i'm curious as to why it is as such. Why is Duke saying "Come Get Some" in all the places he should be saying "Holy Cow!" (The intro, San Andreas Fault, Dancing lady in the cave.)

[Mikko]

Aside from the first three levels, which maps have new areas worth seeing?

Off the top of my head: Duke Burger, Flood Zone, Fahrenheit, Movie Set, Rabid Transit, Freeway and Stadium.

AFAIK, the space levels are mostly the same but I'm just going by memory now.

I didn't realized that. Fixed.

That depends. For example, Launch Facility looks like this, yet gameplay is almost unchanged.

[Jenz/Amaka]

Yes! Finally.

Going to check it out immediately.

[smilesdude98]

I'd really love to try this mod, but Chrome keeps flagging the download as containing possible malware. This is the first time I've ever had this problem. I'm guessing it's safe to ignore?

[Fox]

It should be safe. Maybe it's because it contains Eduke32 executable, or because it doesn't trust SendSpace. Try downloading from here.

[ReaperMan]

I have been waiting for this forever. I would of been playing it earlier but i had some computer problems recently.

Thanks, Fox, it was SendSpace Chrome didn't trust. Worked my way through the first two levels, and it is awesome! Never played Duke64 before, so it's really interesting seeing all of the differences for the first time.

[OpenMaw]

Couple more quick sound glitches I noticed.

Duke doesn't say "Ewwgh... Who's your plastic surgeon?" In Battlelord.

Duke doesn't say "In a perfect world, you'd already be dead!" when confronting the overlord.

You dislike everything though.

[Plagman]

So what do the N64 maps use the 16384 cstat bit for, and why doesn't it work with Polymer exactly?

[Fox]

It is used in conjunction with cstat 16 in order to create an offset effect for wall-aligned sprites, apparently to prevent texture overlapping.



Cstat 16384 is used by Polymer to cast shadows, so they are not rendered.

Spoiler

[leilei]

Did Duke really just tell a keycard to suck it down in the sub level?
