I don´t think Eduke will run in Hires on this card. There have always been problems with Intel cards.

I can run hires on my card, I've done it before. I'm just running Duke Plus with standard arts, no HRP right now.

I just remembered another feature that I'd love to see implemented : a limit for the Skycar ammos.
It seems to me unfair that all the weapons in game have an ammo count, but when you get in the Skycar you can just shoot mindlessly until you've wiped out all the enemies.
I suggets you put a limit of 800 bullet for the machineguns and 2 super bombs (one for each wing).

[Mikko]

It could be optional (like, lotag value defines the amount of bullets and hitag the amount of bombs) but so far there's been no use for such a feature. I wouldn't want to play DPCBP with ammo limits on the car. You're meant to kill everything with the car whenever you have to fly so limits would make no sense.

[Jblade]

That and the vast vast majority of other games I can think of give vehicles unlimited ammo as well; if the player has to keep getting out in order to fight stuff than they become more of a burden than anything else.

[Forge]

Not accounting for the unlimited bombs, but maybe implement overheating for the skycar's "machineguns" ?

[necroslut]

Actually hitting something with the skycar is hard enough to warrant the unlimited ammo/bombs IMO.

[williamjcm]

It's me, williamjcm from the 3DR forums.

I played Duke Plus (I think I have 2.02) with the new Polymer rendering and HRP.

Graphically, it rocks a lot. I think it's better than HL2's High Dynamic Range.

Then, I thought of a feature : a flashlight instead of the nightvision (as an option).

But I want it to be like HL2's (it consumes aux power)

williamjcm

P.S : DT, if you could implement it, PM me the code, I want to use it in my pack as well since i'm a shit in Enhanced CON Scripting.

EDIT : I agree with Forge, for overheating the skycar's miniguns.

I have one request concerning the Emperor miniboss and his behavior - whenever he hurts himself (spash damage from his own rockets), his reaction is to keep firing rockets, which means he kills himself OR he weakens himself a lot. In the original game this wasn't a problem, because there were no nearby walls, but in a sequence I made it is.

So the request is: could you either make the bastard immume for his own rockets (or make this an optional feature) or make sure he stops firing whenever he hurts himself? I think the first option would be the easiest.

Yes, the first option would be the easiest. EDIT: I have made the change to the code, but I didn't upload the new code yet.

[Jewyth]

Is there a binary for Mac?

[Duke_Nukem]

Excuse me, but it says that version 2.05 has been released but when I download DukePlus it always says 2.0 in the download name. Is this still the 2.05 "latest version"? Also, in Mapster32, there are no sprites for the sawed-off shotgun or double barreled shotgun, and the laser pistol sprite looks just like the pistol sprite. Please reskin the laser pistol mapster32 sprite to look like the laser pistol in-game, ok? Unless its too difficult for you.

[Duke_Nukem]

Secondly, could someone make an eduke32 hires version of the old avp mod for the dos version? You know, take it from the dos dn3d and remake it for JFDuke3D with eduke32 with the Hi-Res Pack. Someone should do that so I can see Duke kickin' some xenomorph @$$. Pardon my French. Please reply ASAP. I found it by googling it. Here's the link:http://www.fileplanet.com/hosteddl.aspx?%2fplanetduke%2fmsdn%2favp.zip

Of course! When do you want it? Tomorrow?

The author, who's currently busy making a sequel to AvP, is available here and I doubt he's interested in making a HRP upgrade.

The true version number appears in the upper right corner of the screen when you start a game. The file name and documentation does not get updated with every code change.

(yeah im the kind of person who thinks that posting lol is worth)

[Jewyth]

How do you get this to work on a Mac?

[ZedDB]

If you already have a working eduke installation all you have to do is to extract the rar file in your duke dir and then start eduke with the following parameter: "-game_dir DukePlus"

[Jewyth]

Awesome! thank-you! Now I've got it working with the HRP too, but I seem to have some messed-up graphics when I run it from Yang, but they're ok when loaded from within a terminal window. Wierd.

[Hendricks266]

Flacken.WS made 2 more of the pig gib palettes and revised 2 others.

So that includes everything? I don't need the older package?

[Hendricks266]

No, you still need it. This is a patch of sorts.

[Danukem]

I really am working on Duke Plus again, believe it or not. I just started today. So far all I've done is put together a to-do list (which I'm sure is missing a lot of stuff), and started adding the battlelord minigun (subweapon of chaingun). So any of you who have sent me models or other stuff to include, don't worry, I will get to it eventually, probably in the next month. That doesn't mean I'm going to include everything that I had said I would, though. I'm not sure I want to have the drivable pig tank, for example.

[dopefish]

Hello! I recently found and installed DukePlus and I really love all the new stuff it introduces to the game. Excellent work!

Have you used the Duke Plus Holuduke? It's not useless.

Making the Holoduke summon another Duke to help is exactly what I did in my first mod, Duke Nukem: Weapon of Mass Destruction. When I started Duke Plus, I felt like I needed to do something different...but maybe I should add summoning a Dukebot as an option. It would be a good way to use my bot AI that doesn't feel like cheating.

One feature I think would be amusing is using the Holoduke to summon a Dukebot that does nothing but run around. He won't attack, but he can lead enemies on a wild goose chase

And a bug, I think-- I've noticed that after installing DukePlus and messing around with some of the options, minibosses spawn randomly(?) in levels. This is fine and dandy, but I'm hesitant to attack any of them since on a number of occasions I'd kill one and it would trigger the endgame sequence, right in the middle of a episode.

Is there a parameter that controls whether minibosses spawn inside a level? I'd like to turn it off so I don't have to deal with them anymore :\

Thanks for the mod though, it's great.

The option that could cause that is the randomized monster one. Minibosses spawned that way should never be pal 0, and hence should never trigger the end of game. This bug has surfaced in the past, and I have tried to make damned sure that they never spawn as pal 0 so I don't know how that could still be happening. EDIT: And yes I am aware that queens normally end the game even if they aren't pal 0, but Duke Plus has code for that too. That code looks a little fishy to me though, so what I'm going to do is change it so that there are no random queen minibosses.

[dopefish]

Ok thanks for looking into that. I suppose I should have paid more attention to which bosses in particular were triggering the endgame sequence but I really don't think it's limited to the queen-- I'm pretty sure the Battlelord miniboss is the one that's actually causing the problem. I'll keep testing and report back.

I think my version number is DP199 FWIW.

Cheers

[dopefish]

Ok so I played through a few levels of E1 and most of E3, difficulty at Let's Rock, and monster randomness set to 5.

Encountered the Battlelord 3 times, never triggered the end sequence.
Encountered the E2 boss 1 time, didn't trigger the end sequence.
Encountered the Queen 1 time, did not trigger.

Encountered the Cyclops 3 times; 2 of these times the end sequence was triggered.

The current version is 205. That bug isn't listed as being fixed between 199 and 205, but it may have been anyway (for example, in the 2.00 changelog, I wrote "Fixed lots of bugs (too many to list)."

Since I can't see anything wrong with the code, I'm going to assume that the bug does not exist in the latest version, unless someone can prove otherwise.

[The Commander]

Maybe an idea for DP,

Vampire mode: You can only regain health from damaging/killing enemies. (med kits in the map won't do anything)

Ive seen a couple of games that have this as a cheat/bonus thing once you have finished the game etc.

[Danukem]

I want to make battlelords drop their weapons for the player to use, but I don't want to mess up existing maps by making them too easy. I can make it an option, but then everyone will turn it on, so what's the point? This is one reason I prefer working on a true TC like WGR2, I never have to worry about this kind of issue. I guess I can tie it in with the "advanced AI" feature, so people are getting a bonus to compensate for the added difficulty. Mappers always have the option of putting the weapon directly in the map, so it can still be used with that option off.

Ack. I grabbed 205 and installed it; whacked two Cyclops so far without interruption. Seems to be working fine so far. Sorry for the false alarm.

Perhaps implement it like the laser pistol, as a disposable weapon?
