*Needs Nuclear Winter expansion grp** If you do not have you can go here and get the demo it has the art etc. in it http://dukertcm.com/...-addons/#commer


This is a smaller project I threw together I know there probably will be things to nitpick and that's fine but just try to enjoy a little holiday spirit okay :P Megaton has no "user map" section for the expansions so co op is for there and single player is for yours truly Eduke32 hope you can enjoy had alot of inspiration thanks hope the holidays is good for you all.

Story : Duke64 never had his Holiday, there was no expansion pack for it so he is pissed and calls Duke 3D and tells him he is a lucky son of an arghhhhh for having vacations. So Duke 3D say he make sure he is set with his own cabin with babes and weapons included within the secluded snow resort. All Duke 64 want's to do is get a vacation but the bottom feeding scum sucking aliens had the line tapped from somewhere in space.... be prepared to scream arghhhhhhh at Santa it's not nice to shoot him :)

1st time seeing a usermap that actually worked with Nuclear Winter without having anything changed around to work only for Atomic

I finished it and enjoyed it. It wasn't long nor short. Pretty good level design and shading work, too. It seemed like the whole level could be a little brighter overall, but maybe it's just me. I started keeping my monitor more dim. Build a whole episode and we'll be in business. :)

Edit: If you want to play the map in Megaton in single player, you'll have to rename it to "E2L1.map" and put it in the "gameroot/addons/nw" folder. That will replace the first map of NW with it. Just keep a backup of the original map you replace to restore it later on. You can put all of the sounds included with the map there, too. If you want the song that's included with the map, rename it to "nw1.ogg" and put it in the "gameroot/music/nwinter/" folder. You'll have to replace the original song with that one, so keep a backup of that, too.

Gave it a crack, it was a solid map and the textures made it feel quite fresh. You managed to pull off the cold winter theme/feeling pretty well. There was probably only one room that felt a bit empty; the one near the end with the switch. The rest of the areas were adequately detailed and consistent. There was one area where I swear you copied the cave exactly, even with the hole in the side. Mate if you're going to blatantly copy like that, at least mirror it or something so it's not immediately super obvious it's the exact same thing, only takes half a second to do. The only other thing I would say is you need to put shades on your cameras so they're not completely horizontal all the time, i.e so they point up or down. Gameplay and flow was good, and it's nice to see there's not a million buttons to push to progress like in Turok 2, rather some variety in the objectives.

There's a much neater way to install maps, especially when they come with extra files. Simply put all the files in a folder named "Map X" or whatever, then choose that folder in the custom game content directly. When you load that map, it should automatically load everything in the same folder as the map. Just remember when you're selecting the user map in the menu, you'll need to actually navigate to the folder on the left. This way it doesn't clutter up your Duke folder with a million random oggs, maps, and text files (not to mention clashing custom art and cons!).
The only difference here is that you'll also select the nuclear winter GRP in the game box instead of the atomic edition. It should all be there in the box assuming you've got Megaton installed and are using a somewhat recent version of eduke32.

Good map I enjoyed it ! It's nice to see that something good eventually came out of Nuclear Winter....

The only nitpicking I could give is about the first crack in the first outdoor area the player has to blow up with the RPG; the hole created by the crack is HUGE yet there is one explosion which looks a bit weird. Also, the "Christmas Commander" protecting that crack was glitched, it seemed to be stuck in the decor and it couldn't be shot at (I wasted quite a lot of ammo on him), even though he could shoot at me. http://i101.photobuc...zps626bdf58.png

Gameplay was solid and quite challenging on CGS which I enjoyed. Just before finding the medipack, I was at 1HP and got frozen by another Christmas Commander; but my ass got saved by the medipack which was perfect timing. I'd say the item placement (everything from weapon to ammo and health) was spot on.

I enjoyed the layout of the map as well; although the "communication" room to call Santa felt a bit out of place.

Nice map I enjoyed it!

i myself have played this map. it's quite good given the time made of it, and i didn't think it would be possible to play a good working usermap without something changing or not working. i've played quite a lot of Duke mods, and stuff that has NW in it. are basically mods that had some assets from the game but they ran with Atomic. here's my video playthrough of the map

game bug. shooting the snow-mander with the freezer will make it un-killable

Winter is long gone and I finally got to play this one. Nice atmosphere, especially in Polymer. I'm currently working on an adaption to Nuclear Winter Plus. Is it OK for you if I post the result here?

Here we go: Duke64Holiday [+DM] for Nuclear Winter Plus, adapted using the nwfix.m32 script by Hendricks266.
These do not constitute an 'update' to the original maps. They can not replace the original versions when using the unmodified Nuclear Winter addon.

It's nice to see the first NW user map ever made.

You must have never played Duke's Snowy Adventure 2: Stolen Weapons.
