Duke Nukem 3D on XP???

[Code name 47]

can ANYONE tell me how to get DUKE3D to work on windows XP??? PLEASE! It's my favourite dos game of all time!

Actually, it might just be my sound card. It's some crap I've never heard of before. well... It's not crap, it's good. But it isnt in the DUKE3D sound card list.

But it may be XP. I dunno.

Also if anyone has the level editor BUILD, could they send it to me? :D

it's not possible, Code Name 47. you'd need somebody to use the Duke3d source code to make a windows version.
also, Windows XP mutates about ALL dos game sounds, because it's using a crappy emulator of it's own program [sort of].
it's not your sound card.
i can't send Build to you, since i don't have it.
"favourite dos game of all time"...
you do know that before Doom95 that Doom was dos too, don't you...

you didn't pay attention to the "you'd need somebody to use the Duke3d source code to make a windows version. " did you?

it looks like he did.

and jack, it's windows xp. try it on windows 98 on 95. i'm not sure it will work, but other dos games have worked for me on windows 98.

It worked on windows ME. Anyways, thanks for your help guys. Also TEM, I'm sorry but I believe I have spent more hours in the past years playing Duke Nukem. I used to make levels for it. Mainly because I didn't have the full version of doom until late 2001

Windows XP sucks in various ways, yet it does have some good points. Anyone else agree?

[Code name 47]

i double disagree!

[Dave Hettel]

i agree with the "sucks in various ways", but not with the "yet it does have some good points."

[The Emperor Master]

I COMPLETELY DISSAGREE.
Windows 98 can't play Doom3. 'nuff said.

[Mr.Zee]

Ok, maybe it IS better. Sorry. *cowers behind something big*

[Dave Hettel]

i don't even want doom 3, so why would i care. doom 2 is fine enough for me. it's probably even better than doom 3, imso.

[The Emperor Master]

doom3 is JUST as good, actually. i have it. and i would know since i had doom2 since it's release at 1994 and the demo of doom 1 at 1992.

I actually agree.

[Dave Hettel]

doom3 is JUST as good, actually. i have it...
did you get a leaked out version of the beta?

also, what you said is only your opinion.

[The Emperor Master]

doom3 is JUST as good, actually. i have it...
did you get a leaked out version of the beta?

no. i bought it. it's been released already. it was released since August 3rd. [well, in the country i'm in, they release it to the UK at the 13th]
and, also, it's not just my opinion that doom3's awesome. from what i know 20 places already rated it, the lowest score being 8.5 out of 10.

[Code name 47]

the end boss in doom3 is a cyberdemon

[Dave Hettel]

it's still your opinion, tem, and i don't agree with it.

[Code name 47]

I know the true reason why you don't want doom3. It's because if you tried playing it on your pc, it would overload and smoke will come out of the cd drive!

[Dave Hettel]

no, that isn't the true reason. the true reason is what i previously said.

[Code name 47]

still, your computer would blow up if you tried to run doom3 on it

[The Emperor Master]

still, your computer would blow up if you tried to run doom3 on it
not true. it just would say that the computer doesn't meet minimal requirements and cancel installing or not play.

[Dave Hettel]

still, your computer would blow up if you tried to run doom3 on it
but i don't want to play doom 3.

[Code name 47]

why don't you? It's a brilliant game!

[Warmaster129]

Well I didn't find it that fun, was too dang repetitive.

And yeah, if you want a non-crappy version of Windows that can play Doom 3, just get Windows 2000.

Emperor: Yes, JonoF's port of DN3D does count as "modifying the source code to make a windows version". What's neat about it is that it's modified to work with truecolor textures and MD2 format models. Two of the ongoing community projects are the hi-res texture packs and the model packs.

I can link to those if anybody's interested.

[Dave Hettel]

why don't you? It's a brilliant game!
in your opinion, it's a brilliant game. in mine, it's not. don't you realize that your opinion is not the opinion of everybody else?

this isn't the ONLY DN3D port i'm aware of that does this.......... :!:
this sort of thing, Truecolor textures and MD2 format models tend to be things LOTS of ports for games tend to add. i can think of 4-5 of them for doom. i can think of 3 of them for DN3D.
