Are you thinking of the game TekWar or Premium?

City Terror?

Where to get that TC? Seems I only keep finding links to the totalconversions.com site and we all know that site is dead.

EDIT: Using web archive site I manged to get the download link to it.

This is the oldest mod I know of where there were civilians Femcon 2.5. (http://gamers.org/pub/games/duke3d/other/cons/femcon25.zip)

I seem to remember one set in the future with indestructable civilians scattered everywhere, and a room with "hallucinogenic gas..."

Was that it?

Which reminds me of a mod I'd like to know of: It was released in or after 1999, since one of the levels was based off of the matrix. The expander (I think) was replaced by two pistols (Using one of the reload animations for the regular pistol). You could enter an area in the first level I think, it was a building with double doors like in the Matrix. The guns were coded so they could activate cracks, and the modder put invisible cracks on pillars, so they could be destroyed like in the movie. I also remember one area that had a green fog that was made up of many pal 8 masked walls. He also coded a really cool new Cycloid Emperor, that would fade in and out, teleporting around the arena.

Do you mean the map 2020AD by Bob Masters? That was really great with that people flying around.

Yes, I remember that one as well. It's from a 3-level (I think?) mod called Critical Mass (not the same as the TC that died)

That TC looked awesome, it's too bad it died (but at least we got to play it in a way via Extreme Justice)

Im pretty sure you're right. I always thought it was one of those mods with nuclear, critical, or some similar word in the title. I dont remember it having many levels either.

I'm pretty sure it is aviliable on MSDN, at least that is where I got it a few years ago.

OT: Sounds like Grins of Divinity (GOD) to me.

You didn't add City Terror to your site yet. :p

http://www.fileplanet.com/hosteddl.aspx?/planetduke/kef/ctinst.exe

That was a hard one to find, I don't know if you direct link to the mod's on your site but you might want to host this one somewhere else in case that link dies.

Thanks, but I have the City Terror Gold Edition (City Terror+extra levels) already listed on the Dukematch page. I have the file on FileFront and am going to add it to RTCM soon.

Ah, That's why I didn't see it. I figured you listed every mod/tc on the left side and didn't have sub dir's for them. Which I think is some what wrong, mods like Duke Army have single player... So adding all mods to the left column no matter if is DM/SP/COOP would seem a lot better to me.

EDIT: Also if it's setup that what I can just click the link in your sig and use CTRL+F and type in the mod/tc im after instead of looking through sub dir's.

Yeah I know. Originally I was going to list multi level single player only mods and then I added the other pages as an after thought. Oh well. Anyway the pages at RTCM have everything on only two indexes, one for mods made specifically for the EDuke32 port, and one for everything else. Thats how Corvin wanted it so thats how we did it.

EDIT: Also if it's setup that what I can just click the link in your sig and use CTRL+F and type in the mod/tc im after instead of looking through sub dir's.

That search function only seems to work for the page you are already on. Tripod really sucks in some ways but I was familiar with their site tools which is why I went with them again. At the time I knew nothing about using FTP and editing HTML. After we finish adding everything I have to RTCM I will think about updating/changing the format of my site.

Which is why I said you should list EVERY mod/tc on the left on the main page. ;)

But then you said you are going to change the format so we will see how that works.

I said I will think about it. Come on what are you lazy?:D You have to look through five or six whole pages to find something? I have thought about it before and if I do it I think a double row listing would be best. That would minimize the dead space on the home page. And there were some other things that would make the site look a lot more up to date. That might mean changing hosts though. And thats a lot of work. In the mean time think of it as an adventure. Who knows what you may find.

Tekwar - It's a standalone and quite crappy game.

Premium - By Gangster?

City Terror - Nope.

When Scum Returns - I don't think so. It also has real enemies.

Femcom2 - Nope. The name doesn't ring any bell...

Merc2 - Dunno.

2020AD - No, it is too new and too good.

I will tell you what I know. It had civilians ONLY roaming on the city streets (probably taken from Tekwar) and one level - city with shops, restaurants etc. This TC was released before 2001...

This joke is getting old really :)

Yes. Just a suggestion, but an index page for your site wouldn't be a bad idea considering how much stuff you're hosting.

You know what? Thats a very good idea and easy enough to do.

Edit: I started working on it and should be done in a few days.

@LAW: I'm very sorry we hijacked your thread. I did spend about an hour today looking through all the Mods and TC's I have to see if any matched up with the one you described. No luck. I also searched online but did not find anything yet. If I do find one that matches your description I will let you know. Eddy

Good that I am not a mod here :flame: But seriously. You should know that mod. It was on 3dportal and on Dukeworld...

If it was on Dukeworld there is a good chance it can be found at gamers.org. The problem is there are hundreds if not thousands of single level maps/mods there.

Hundreds of MAPS and mods on gamers.org. AFAIK the Dukeworld stuff was picked up by gamers.org.

Gamers.org Duke3D Index (http://www.gamers.org/pub/games/duke3d/)

Updated Mirror (http://ftp.ntua.gr/mirror/3drealms/duke3d/)

Gamers.org has files up to 2001. Ftp.ntua.gr has files up to 2003. I went through almost every file on both sites in the past looking for mods with more than one level. Without a zip file name though it would take a long time to find a specific single level mod.

If thats true, and I don't doubt it, the TC LAW is looking for may not even be available on the net anymore. Unless someone has it on their HDD he may be out of luck.
