Duke in XP

[mellevelence]

Who here plays Duke Nukem 3d and uses build with Windows XP? I cant get it to work images/icons/mad.gif graemlins/dopefish.gif

In what way does it "not work".

[mellevelence]

Such as: Enter on the num pad, insert, delete....just certain keybuttons don't work. I e-mailed Ken Silverman asking him about it and this is what he said:

"Yes, the problem is in my keyboard interrupt handler in BUILD.C. It
acknowledges the interrupt in the wrong place. If you move the line:
"koutp(0x20,0x20);" from the beginning of the function to the end of the
function, it should fix the problem under WinNT/2000/XP. Watch out for the
early return - you need to put it there too. I don't know why it doesn't
work under WinNT/2000/XP, but it's probably because it emulates DOS
interrupts in a different way than Win95/98/ME."

Is there anyone here who knows how to do this? If so please reply !!!! graemlins/dopefish.gif

I've added that to my work list for EDuke 2.1 release.

I did what ken said. Although I had to go to his website and download kenbuild.zip and then download a compiler, Dev-C++. It gave me two run-time errors. It can't find two files that are in the zip file. Furthermore After it compiles it will probably do nothing because I don't know where to put the file so it will work. images/icons/tongue.gif

Dev C++ won't compile it anyway - it's writen for the Watcom C compiler.
