Also, the TC's below have so far been updated for JF's latest release.

DoomDuke
Grune
Platoon
Shock System
Victimized
The Gate

I've recently acquired several TC's that I've never seen before, some still only half done.
As soon as these are suitably converted for JFDuke, I'll post them here also.

Excellent! Thank you ProAsm!

Never noticed that problem before, but after all those reports, just out of curiosity checked it in eDuke32. And to my surprise found that it also have "hands bug" . It differ from your previous version bug (see screenshot). By the way, using last (Duke3dw v2.8) version I get same result.

No matter what I do or try I do not get it with 2.8
The bug also causes the Devistators left barrel to be non existant, and the hands to swap when throwing a handbomb which is now also fixed.
I test it with DNSTUFF, maybe an actual pickup might be different as I have not checked that.

I have no Devastators bug, just one hand in wrong position. Pehaps something wrong with my installation or cfg.

[Parkar]

Not sure how you fixed the problem but the reason it happens is that the verticaly flipped offset affects the hands as well. Old version even had diferent code for md3 and md2 so with the old code a md2 and md3 with the same offset would be offset diferently.

Basicaly just changeing the def files should work for now. I would expect this to change when JonoF goes over the whole HUD models.

[ProAsm]

Parkar, all I did was look for the textures and it fixed everything, see attached.

    // Parkar: Moved up to be able to use k0 for the y-flipping code
    k0 = tspr->z;
    if (globalorientation&128)                                       // wyyz
       {
       if (tspr->picnum >2349 && tspr->picnum < 2365)
	       k0 += (float)((tilesizy[tspr->picnum]*tspr->yrepeat)<<2);
	   else
	       k0 += (float)((tilesizy[tspr->picnum]*tspr->yrepeat)<<1);
	   }

This is what the devistator looked like before the fix.

That is the worst "fix" I have ever seen in my life. Why on earth would you cram Duke3D specific hacks that rely on specific tile numbers directly into the engine?

Duke3dw up to 4.0.0 Works good. Only needs the User maps thing inside the menu and that Multiplayer thing you did in SWP. Playduke multiplayer doesn't work with the dukehost.ini or the dukejoin.ini thing. It puts the -name after the -net so the name will not change. But with a batch file -name does work ok. I know this will take a while cause
you have other things you are working on,or have to do. Playduke and Playwang are so cool.

[TerminX]

Nice job bumping a 3 year old thread...

[eddym4814]

LOL, I just read this whole thread and it wasn't till I got to your post TerminX that I realized it was 3 years old. I've got to pay better attention to the starting dates.

[Hendricks266]

Duke3DW achieves its purpose, but I would rather stick with EDuke32.

*goes back to playing MOTHER3 translation*

[Skulldog]

That is very funny. But i didn't know. What is really funny, I didn't even have to post this
becuase i had already talk to ProAsm about this. LOL and he already had it fix for me, sent me a copy of the beta and it works. He fix the playwang mutiplayer also. He will be updating it on his website Soon. Oh! it works with eduke32 also.

[The Commander]

Well, If you didnt have to post why did you post and bump a 3 year old thread...

[supergoofy]

Many TCs have problems with EDuke32, but they run fine with Duke3dw. Thus having them both updated is the best thing.

[TerminX]

Name one TC that doesn't work in EDuke32, please.

[Another Duke Fan]

Layre.

[TerminX]

I fixed Layre a while back, actually. The problem with Layre was that they had deleted the tile used for the console background (even though the console in EDuke32 is blacked out, a tile is still used.)



Next?

Edit: the midis in Layre make me kind of nostalgic for the days of cheap Geocities pages with background music...

Thanks TX. Not more on my part.

[supergoofy]

For example: playing Return To Fury 16 map for AVP (Alien Vs Predator TC), I get SIGSEGV error when I try to kick or shoot repeatedly with a weapon (e.g. shotgun).

e.g. with repeating kicks I get:

ACCESS CARD
SHOTGUN !
AMMO FOR SHOTGUN !
MIGHTY FOOT ENGAGED
Fatal Signal caught: SIGSEGV. Bailing out.

Anyway I can play it in Duke3dw without any problems.

[TerminX]

Where do I get that?

[supergoofy]

@TerminX, do you want me to upload them for you (AVP + Fury map)? If you want me to do it, IS mediafire.com ok as a host?

[EDIT]
Here is AVP TC with its 2 extra maps from AVP2 (Fury161r and Pred2avp):
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?izz5ggnymyf

I play Fury161r with:
eduke32 -noautoload -javp -jFury161r -xfgame.con -gavp.grp -gfury161r.grp -map fury161r.map -cfg avpfury.cfg

or when using Duke3dw (in separate folder):
duke3dw -javp -jFury161r -xfgame.con -gavp.grp -gfury161r.grp -map fury161r.map

Pred2avp map is working with EDuke32 and also AVP works ok (I played the first 2-3 levels)

When I play AVP I use:
eduke32 -noautoload -javp -gavp.grp -xgame.con -cfg avptc.cfg

When I play Pred2avp map I use:
eduke32 -noautoload -javp -jPred2avp -xpgame.con -gavp.grp -gpred2avp.grp -map pred2avp.map -cfg avppred.cfg

Only Fury161r map crashes. The normal AVP and the Pred2avp map are working with EDuke32.
But, Fury161r map works fine with Duke3dw.

[TerminX]

Sure. I have a version of AVP here but it doesn't crash for me, so upload the version of it that you have plus that map and I'll take a look.

[Hendricks266]

I haven't played it, but does the Undead TC still have problems?

[Skulldog]

I just a noob! I want bump your post again.

It shouldn't have problems anymore, aside from being one of the worst TCs ever made...

[LipSheZ]

I want to say I'm shocked! Now I know that RR and SW have their special ports! Thank you a lot, ProAsm!!!

Nice job about you bump the old **** up and let me remember the ProAsm's Duke3dw port...

I already forgot it and JFDuke when I changed to using eDuke32...


(And noob is NOT a excuse for bump old topic......)

[Hendricks266]

RR's source code has not been released. RRSetup is just a DOSBox frontend just for RR. I've gotten better results myself.

Duke3dw v4.0.2.2
http://www.proasm.com/files/dn/Duke3dw_v4022.zip

PlayDuke v5.9

[supergoofy]

Duke3dw v4.0.2.3
http://www.proasm.com/files/dn/Duke3dw_v4023.zip

[TerminX]

Added Random Music option to Sound Menu.
Selecting this will randomise the music played while playing a user map.
This overrides the continious dethtoll.mid used for every level.

That's kind of an interesting idea. The next snapshot of EDuke32 does something like that, but it uses whatever mid or ogg file has the same name as the map instead of randomizing.

[supergoofy]

That's great. My favorite 2 best ports of JFDuke3d are updated and getting better and better.

Thanks ProAsm and TerminX


By the way, Nuclear Showdown mod v1.1 is released

[ProAsm]

That's kind of an interesting idea. The next snapshot of EDuke32 does something like that, but it uses whatever mid or ogg file has the same name as the map instead of randomizing.

LOL, it's supposed to do that also (.mid anyway) but had some problems but fixed now
Hehe.. I just got real tired of dethtoll

Fixed the Music not playing during the game.
Added a AutoSave option to the game.
The game will autosave to game10.sav at the start of every map / level and also

It is also available in the Load menu.

http://www.proasm.com/files/dn/Duke3dw_v4034.zip

The Autosave will now be saved if you leave a game in process or have a crash.
Basically only when a game ends with the bonus screen is Autosave removed.

Version 4.0.3.3
Fixed where autosave (game10.sav) plays havoc with Playduke and other frontends.
Added an Auto and Manual option to AutoSave.
Auto saves when health increases or keycards are found as well as manual F5 pressed.
Manual only works when F5 is pressed.
