Like you once said James, I don't think that would have made a huge difference. People who make maps and mods for Duke3D don't do it because they like Duke (the character), but rather because they like Duke3D the game and working with the Build engine.

Some people could have 'switched' to DNF but probably not many. What would have changed though, would have been duke4 and its forum on which duke3D would have only become a subforum.

at an extreme of the what if realm
3DR finishes DNF and doesn't close the duke3d forum.
no hiatus to duke4, it'd still be the dozen or so people it was back in '05 with almost no activity

I thought I got City II to be uploaded on DNR but I can't see it there anymore... Perhaps someone else has this map? I remember sending it to both Mikko and MRCK.
this cityII?

i probably played the other maps you described, but i wouldn't be able to remember the names of them after all this time.

There's another pretty good city map by the same author:

Looks like there are some pretty cool stuff in this map here and there but overall it's your typical old Duke3D city map (unlike CITYII which was more original). Plus it says it's meant for deathmatch so even though there are monsters there is probably no ending... Thx for sharing though.

Oh. I get it...

As for the "missing levels" part, I've always wondered what happened to Pipeline's "The Day After" levels?

In the text files, it says Suburbia is the 1st map, Doomcity is the 3rd, Hell Station is the 6th and Mothership is the 7th. This means there should be at least 3 other levels. "At least" means there was a secret passage in Mothership which led to a nonfunctional Nuke Button with secret level message. It's level is a boss level though.

It's interesting that Hell Station and Mothership are the earlier levels, they were made in 1997, a year before the seemingly superior Suburbia and Doomcity have been made. Anyway, I'm not sure about the 2nd level, as the ending of Suburbia fits rather well with the starting locations of Doomcity. Maybe there were no more releases after all.... too bad the authors can't be found anywhere, neither their swiss site. Stupid nicknames.

Some of you sure remember Dukebert's Map Zone site.
I checked the favorite maps section, http://web.archive.org/web/20000818081052/http://www.homestead.com/dmzsp/index.html
and didn't seem to find online the following maps: darkmoon, forever, fragway, golden and thndrgnd.
Does anybody have any of these maps?

without more info on the author or the actual map name (not the zip file name) this is about the best i can come up with

Thanks, but darkmn.zip is not darkmoon (DMZ favorite maps are sp) and fragway.map you've uploaded was modified in 2004 (that DMZ page is from 2000)
