Classic Duke 3D / Re: [Release] Duke64Holiday
26 December 2014, 19:01:28
Cool level indeed  :D

The outdoor areas are pretty nice and the layout fits really to the boss fight.
It's a humble map which gives 10 mn of fun.

But it s too easy : too much health and ammo;floor palette bugs could have been easily avoided;the custom enemys miss me and some architecture and texturing choices are odd.

Awaiting another version  ;)

Duke 3D Resources / Buggy Boss of the episode 3 ???
26 December 2014, 16:04:31
Men ,i m facing a mistery here.
When i place the boss in my new level ,he shoots missiles but doesn't move a iota  :-\

I ve copied it from the original level,changed the sky, searched on the web for some clues...

Help,pls  :'(

I m coming from an online session on the mod Nuclear Winter.
Is the steam version buggy as the original one ?

I had to place coop spawns in some maps,and the mod is himself not compatible with any maps because the pig cop is replaced by the final boss...

Duke 3D Resources / Re: Errors and corruption

Chances are those corruptions are level 1 or 2 so probably aren't worth worrying about. Level 3 you should be a little worried, and levels 4 and 5 you should apparently be extremely worried and revert back to a copy of the map which doesn't have the corruptions.

To answer your question, open up the console and type "corruptcheck tryfix"

Thx for the tip bro.

I m building a huge level and thanks to Puritan's advice aka "build your level by little pieces" ,no errors have yet appeared.

I will give you more infos when these nasty bugs will show up their teeth  ;)

16 December 2014, 18:44:47

The eduke port on android will be a paid app. They've got a contract with 3DR to be the official version of duke 3d on that platform. They may also release a paid iOS version.

Yeah i ve seen that now.I dont see how tough he will earn enough money to hire someone.

 I tought about duke4 only because there's more people.Didn t know about dramas.

Also for the "Troika" 's review :
I ve never personally had a big problem.
The difference between my judgement (rating +comment) and yours have never been so huge to give me the urgent need  to write.

Also ,i think than many people complain about the score and not what is written.
I personnally think than a rating on a scale of 10 points instead of 100 would be paradoxically more accurate and peaceful.
It's human to think than work of other people deserved less points and ours are under rated.

From another side,i think than the number of downloads are more rewarding and i take as a challenge to create something wich will deserve 99 points.

Anyway if the goal is to émulate the mappers community,i think than little tounaments would be a better tool.
Competiting maps with a specific theme and a limited number of sectors/sprites could make the job.

By exemple : Theme :Daily urban city;500 sectors/500 sprites;4 months.

And then ask to Forge Duke'4 people to vote them.

Yep Noldor a good friend of mine and one of the guys who plays DM more often. Here is a video with Noldor in it on his map NRV house haha. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvrPlnTYagQ&list=UUdKLw3Hz7395We-15wrUZAw.


Super,NRV house is just an awesome map and i ve got with Noldor some of my best duke time.

Yet it still lacks players somehow I think it's the "cant join a match that's in progress" that makes people never find matches while on Meltdown you can see the match even if you cant join in, but I seem to get a match almost anytime(306 friends that play Megaton)
Hmm it s really annoying.

As for a new mp on eduke32 count me in if things go as planned for TX then that would be grrrroovy tony the tiger time xD

I feel it more like a dream than a plan.Too many "if".

What makes you think eduke32's development is dead? Updates are happening to it on a nearly daily basis, not necessarily the multiplayer but the port is definitely not dead.

When i say dead,i mean "not happening in the next decade with this rate of développment."
Thanks for the feedback tough,i didn t see any of these informations on Duke4  :o

Thats exactly what's about i was thinking.
Unless a massive investment of dollars can make a breakthrough in the messy code of Duke3D.
How can eduke 32 port on android can generate income ? Is there any kind of publicity videos between each map played  ???

Can I invite you sometime to play and see if that happens? I play with friends from Chile and I am from USA and we play fine I even play with friends from Europe and played with Norvak to all from different countries :D I'm not sure how you had that experience that sucks it really does.

The only problem i got in terms of connection are with brasilian guys aka 300 pings.
And what 's about crash ? When too much sprites are spawned like 20 corpses exploding in same time,the game usually ends brutally.
Dont worry anyway,i plan to buy steam's product for the start of the new year.
I will just stick on dukematcher for a while  :)

Friends from Chile ? Do you know a Noldor Ranzou ?

Well here my 2 cents  >:(

The inherent nature of reviewing is to give a note ,trying to be more objective as possible.
Of course you can complain about the inaccuracy of some scores but it's only due to your personal taste and the scale of 100 points.

Being disagree on some reviews is your right.
If you want to give justice on some unbalanced reviews just act,CGS allows any members to submit reviews.

But you know,from my personal experience of life : those who complain about the system,spitting on some individuals without doing anything to change their environment are just loosers.

To be totally honest, the multiplayer for megaton is nearly dead. Hardly anyone plays the game anymore due to the lack of updates to it. Glitches that still exist, features that were never added, and multiple netcode issues! I'm not saying it's entirely bad, after all it's still playable, but the game shouldn't be lacking this bad for having been out for what, a year? (Not Duke 3D, just megaton itself) This is modern day, we are not in 1996, we don't want LAN netcode. To be fair, DN3D is hard to get a modern netcode for since it is an old game, but nonetheless. Termit, Lunick, let's do something about this guys.

Picked up from Duke4ever.com.

Well it seems than Steam promised a lotta of things to sell their game.It 's certainly the third generation of marketing in video games,selling products which hasn't been done yet.Good move steam.

Also , having a certain expérience in duking ,i can enumerate 2 evils which are killing eco systeme :

_ Old network code (Lags,crashs,no server....)
_ Unfriendly games (No coop,hard modding...)

When i see what have made the doom community like Zandronum ,this makes me really sick.
Doom is older but they managed to turn it into a modern port supporting up to 32 players and allowing modders to create crazy stuff.

Résuming :

_The development of steam's port is dead.
_The development of eduke32 port is dead.
_The new born Dukematcher dont even aim to achieve something.

So what can we expect ?  :-\

I play all the time as long as you have good connection you should be good to go and location can matter a bit also just like any other Duke port.

Hmm,i have about 120 of ping playing with an american.And what are these skins on your videos.Duke is always wearing reds gloves  ???

My last map of the year will be another temple structure dedicated to cooperation games  8)

This time,the gameplay revolves more about exploration since you have to find 4 cards to acceed to the other part of the level but it keeps tough the centered layout which make the good point of Damnation.

I will also experiment new ways of fight instead of stack up armies of aliens in the same arena.
It will make certainly the experience more smoothy for solo gaming  ;D

I'm a bit bored of Yang community   :-\

I ve heard than steam didnt make a good job,than lags and trafic are just terrible.
From another side,the fact i could meet other people and advertise my maps through workshop could seduce me.

So did they improve the engine since one year ?
What's about people there ?
