Classic Duke 3D / Re: Reviews and Submissions
Last post by ck3D - 06 August 2023, 03:32:47Hi Puritan! Just to keep you in the loop, last month I released six more maps as the demo for another conceptual episode, Zero Zone. More info here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/duke-nukem-3d-blast-radius/news/blast-radius-v200-release-ft-episode-2-zero-zone-six-level-demo
Radar Duker on YouTube already has videos up of (most of) the maps.
I hope you like it, the download for now is part of Blast Radius, since it expands on the code and acts like a continuation albeit in a different style. So the download link is the same: https://www.moddb.com/mods/duke-nukem-3d-blast-radius/downloads/duke-nukem-3d-blast-radius
If you would like to host it and that is possible, then maybe it should share the same link as Blast Radius because of the duality. That also would be a nice opportunity to update the version of it that is on your server, at this stage I've given most all the maps from both episodes many passes, fixed most mistakes and so for a while this version ( 2.0.8 ) also shouldn't budge, minus occasional cosmetic retouches that shouldn't warrant an update until the next slice of Zero Zone, but that may be in a long, uncertain while. I need to take some time away from the editor.
Curious to hear if you enjoy the new levels. They are difficult (especially the second one can be mean on CGS) but generally more accessible than the Blast Radius style and also introduce new surprising mechanics. Hope you have fun in the zone!

Classic Duke 3D / Re: Reviews and Submissions
Last post by ck3D - 03 June 2023, 14:11:36Hi Puritan! I just released a new map for Blast Radius (15th/2nd secret) and updated the mod with it: https://www.moddb.com/mods/duke-nukem-3d-blast-radius/news/blast-radius-110-release-ft-new-15th-secret-level-more
It's reached v.1.1.0 now and while I've been abstaining from reporting smaller updates since I know managing the system is difficult, some of those recent modifications to the project have been fixing a lot of issues around some of the levels, including bugged secrets and broken doors and so the package you're hosting on CGS as a whole I'd say would be worthwhile refreshing now. Addition of level 15 sort of cements Blast Radius' final form now, mod has been out for long enough that I could catch most possible issues/bugs/problems and I personally feel like moving onto fresh stuff and so from this point onwards it really shouldn't budge much anymore but for potentially microscopic tweaks that do not matter. I don't want any more maps in BR or anything and so this should be my last time suggesting refreshing the file. (Now you understand why I was prefering to wait!)
New map introduces a new enemy variant; I'm curious what you'll think of it! Level 10 has a brand new secret exit section to match, too, but one can always jump right into the new level by loading brl15.map as a user map or inputting the cheat code, DNSCOTTY115 if they don't want to bother finding it legit.
Did we just get new forum software or is it my recently fixed laptop which now allows me to see this fresh version? Awesome! I think I've spotted a typo in the text in the top right corner; probably should be "Duke 3D never dies!" (right now is missing an 's').
Hope all is well and you have fun with the new map. Cheers!

Is your Gamma setting above 1.0?
I've noticed that even with everything set on default, my nVidia card seems to turn up the screen brightness when running EDuke, but only about 90% of the time. It's pretty strange, but it will result in screenshots that are darker than things appear in the game.
That is something I've never would have thought of - to say the least
I'm using an older AMD R9 200 card
Checked win 10 gamma settings and it was default (1,0 ?)
Checked AMD control panel and brightness was set to 0,0
Adjusted brightness in Win 10 a tad up while leaving AMD settings at 0,0 and it seems to have enhanced the screenshots.
I just have to take a lot of screenies the coming days and compare with older screenies, it seems.
Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction, High Treason!
Example below is from a WIP map.
I think the brightness is about the same as in-game

Duke 3D Resources / Eduke32 screenshot brightness
Last post by Puritan - 03 May 2023, 09:44:38It seems that screenshots from the game appear darker than they were when taking them in-game ?
I'm playing with the brightness settings in classic renderer set to default (100%).
Is there a fix for this in 'Eduke32,cfg' or maybe another file?

I just noticed Merlijn's first two Shaky Grounds maps were up on here without a proper review (what they do have is an old one by me for SG3, and Aleks' recent review of the full episode). I started a full playthrough of the episode a couple of nights ago and have spontaneously been writing reviews for Apocollapse and Tales of Tragedy I'll most likely use as a basis for something to post on ModDB, but you can also use those for CGS if you want, both are on this page: https://forums.duke4.net/topic/11861-release-shaky-grounds-episode/page__st__30
Wow, that is quite some work you've put into these reviews!
Thanks a lot for letting me use 'em here at CGS
