As of EDuke32 r4987, cutscene has been added as a CON language keyword. This conflicts with a gamevar of the same name in USERPLUS.CON and will prevent DukePlus from starting. However, that gamevar appears to be unused, so the according line of code can simply be commented out. I have updated the downloads of the DukePlus NixFix and the Z-Pack to deal with that, both available at the usual place.

Thank you for your stewardship! You are correct, the cutsene var is not used in DukePlus and can safely be removed. Unfortunately, the cutscene var is definitely used in the WGR2 TC. It would also not surprise me if others have made mods and TCs using a var with that name.

EDIT: Just checked wiki and the new keyword isn't there yet. I hope it could be renamed to something else, such as "showscene". Or better yet (from my standpoint), allow vars to have the same names as commands (although that would require making the compiler do extra work).

Agreed. While that command is still recent, I too would prefer it to be named starting with a verb.

Not very viable as that would lead to ambiguities with commands accepting a variable number of arguments. For example:

gamevar cutscene 0 0

// (quote definitions ...)

state QWE
    qsprintf Q_dst Q_fmt x y z cutscene cutscene
ends

For the most part, CON parsing is whitespace-insensitive, so state QWE either has one qsprintf command with 7 arguments, or two commands: "qsprintf Q_dst Q_fmt x y z" and "cutscene cutscene".

The crash doesn't happen with the most recent version. The CON compilation failure can be worked around by passing -conversion to EDuke32, like this:

EDuke32.exe -forcegl -game_dir DukePlus -conversion 20130105

(The date 5 Jan 2013 has been chosen simply because that's apparently the last update of DukePlus.)

Agreed. While that command is still recent, I too would prefer it to be named starting with a verb.

To be concrete, I propose startcutscene. The alternative showcutscene is shorter, but "show" suggests a one-time drawing into the framebuffer, as in showview. The variant showscene looks nice, but loses the connection to ifcutscene.

All well and good - until I found that the automap screen is all black - except for Duke himself!

Automap is also black in regular Duke, with latest eduke32 binaries. It only became normal, when Polymer is disabled. I think is some kind of bug...

You don't need the HRP to run DukePlus. All the needed models are already included (Skycar, new weapons, etc.)

Trooper Dan,

can the DNE 2.0 DukePlus CONs be considered as an update for the default DukePlus ( == are you aware of any incompatibilities/regressions concerning the DP maps) ?

I'd like to add them to the next NixFix version.

I don't know. To be sure, one would have to either do a line by line comparison of the differences, or do extensive testing. The former would be easier.

I don't remember what was updated for DNE 2.0. It may have included bug fixes or changes that are a good thing all around. But it also may have included things specifically for DNE that would mess up DukePlus when used without models or DNE features. To the extent that I remember, I think very little was changed.

Trivial things (to me) taken aside, I've boiled it down to four files (old and new versions attached). Not much changed, indeed. I'd be pleased if you could take a quick look at them.

I took a quick look, and I couldn't find anything different in the two main CON files (dukeplus.con and playerplus.con). I do now remember that a bug or two was fixed in the civilian code for DNE.

Would this be due to the "player light" that I see mentioned?

If you want to eliminate the light emitted by the player in DukePlus, open PLAYERPLUS.CON and comment out the line "state spawnpointlight"

Yes, there she is! Commented out and all working as expected.

Duke Plus kicks ass!

Hopefully this bump isn't too necro, had a quick question. Is there any way to get akimbo pistols from the start, or via a console command for just the akimbo pistols? I searched the topic and there's a post from five years ago saying "give all" is the only way. Is that still the only way to do it?

Also, I play it on polymost without the 3D models or HRP. Do I need that fixpatch or anything? Sounds like it does stuff involving 3D models. Thanks folks.

Polymost does support models and there are many models used by DukePlus which should display in Polymost, unless you have gone into the eduke32 menu and specifically disabled models.

As Hendricks266 pointed out, you can spawn any sprite in the game from the console, as long as you know the sprite number or a defined label for it. That includes enemies, too.

One more thing: Since you found your way into the DukePlus thread, you may also want to check out my War of Attrition mod. There's a thread for that one, too, which you are welcome to necro post in.

Playing with models off is my preference, I prefer the 2D weapons and monsters in Duke3D. So I did disable various things that don't have sprites, but adding akimbo pistols, the alien blaster, etc to Duke is awesome. It's great how customizable this mod is.

I was curious if the fix that LeoD posted is something I should install, fixing bugs and whatnot, or if it's just related to 3D models, since I don't use those.

I also prefer sprites, for the most part, which is why I don't use the HRP. But many features of DukePlus will be visually broken with models turned off, so I would recommend at least trying it with models on.

LeoD knows what he's doing and he has been a good caretaker, so I would trust his patch.

When playing DukePlus on Windows with a recent eduke32.exe, and not using the HRP, you should be fine without the NixFix. (But don't come here complaining about log file errors and warnings.) Tbh, I don't know for sure if the CON file updates are made for new [DukePlus] map designs only or if they affect the gameplay/fix issues of existing [DukePlus] maps, too.

[FistMarine]

Does anyone have the older version 2.20? I didn't like the latest versions, mainly for the fact that the laser pistol model is really shitty (sorry about that) and the Cycloid in map Dukecide is unkillable, no matter how much I shoot at him.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got version 2.11.

[Duker101]

I dunno if this is a missing model in HRP or a duke plus thing ,but when the duke bots crouch their model changes back to the non-hrp version of duke.

Vanilla DukePlus isn't aware of "recent" HRP changes (the 2013 Polymer Duke model). My DukePlus NixFix has a workaround (switching back to the Polymost model). Full switch to Duke2013 should be possible, but, tbh., that's not near the top of my to-do list.
