Very simple: you open build.exe in an ASCII-editor (like notepad) and you change some of the simbols. If you get furhter with it you might deside to use a hex-editor.

Or you could download one of the faq's about it. and read it.

I have the shareware version 1.3d...I don't see a build.exe anywhere...Is it only on the retailed version?

You can't play your own maps on the shareware version either. Well, as far as I know anyway.

Build is both the name of the game engine that was used to create Duke Nukem 3D. It is also the name of the editor used to make the game.

If you need to buy it, go here: http://store.yahoo.com/3drealms/duknuk3dated.html

Actually, Build is evil. Cause it wants to crash on you. It does on me! Also the annoying sector limit! 1024? What a joke. But then again, it IS easy! I have to admit that.

Build is evil, but Duke3D is cool? That doesn't make any sense. Here's the deal:

Build was made for us to be able to create the game. Period. No consideration was made to expansion of features, as we didn't know what kind of reaction the utilities would get. We just put 'em on there.

Again - it was made for our needs in making the game. If you're doing things that crash the editor, then you're probably (not not definitely) pushing limits of the thing.

I just thought of something. Joe, do you think Duke3D would have lasted as long and as popular as it did if you hadn't put BUILD.EXE and EDITART.EXE on the CD?

Irelands worst Air Disaster occured today when small two-seater Cessna 152 crashed into a cemetery early this morning in central Ireland. Irish search and rescue workers have recovered 826 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as digging continues into the evening.

[Joe Siegler]

Probably not, but then again, you never know what "might have happened".

i think that build kept people interested. i would have lost all interest if there wasnt build, but i think people would still have bought the game just the same. Maybe less.
