That was a really good link the you posted there Puritan the netduke32, it works quite well once you get everything set up for it. The bots are of a better quality compared to the last ones I used to play. I usually have 15 bots and the game gets mad with that many bots.

I'm playing those duke3d 500 maps as they are some good ones in there for the deathmatch, I have a youtube where I show off all the maps.  There are 3 maps that don't work.

I'll check those links out, Thanks Puritan      yeah the sob bot seems to be quite a popular one at the moment but only if we can get it working.  I wonder if duke plus has bots, I think it has bots who help you fight the enemies.  I remember we used to get them working quite well in the past, I guess there have been a lot of changes since then.   

Hi, it's me again.  A long time since I've played with dukebots. 

I've been trying to get the bots working again but not having much luck at the moment, I tried following the steps I posted a long time ago, I have the Eduke32 and completed the steps and added that  /q8 /a at the end of the target name. Once I play the shortcut version it takes me to the game where I can host or join but there is no bots as such.  Once you click launch game it says waiting for votes and nothing happens.

Does anyone remember how you get the computer bots to work?

Many thanks in Advanced

Thanks Puritan

Hope you have been keeping well yourself. 

(A small review)

This map sort of has that square or circle feeling to it. In the centre of the map, you will notice the water which contains atomic health and a few laser tripbombs. Before you enter the centre of the map you can use the wall to lower yourself to the ground without losing any health and use that wall to get back up again. Now if you stay on the middle bit there is a lift you can take up to the top of the map, you will be exploring the high tunnels where you can collect some items or guns. On the medium level there it all connects up to the other bit of the map

I guess you can say that this map has three levels. For what is a simple design this is actually not a bad deathmatch level where dukes can fight it out to see who is king. This is probably what your classic deathmatch level would be like in the past. It's a nice map no doubt about that one.

(Another review, I'm on fire)

This whole map feels like a death trap. I guess I can say there are a few traps and explosions such as the minefield which contains 12 mines. Watch out for the gas canisters as well as the explosion they cause is big sometimes. There is a stream of water you can jump into and swim around in and collect a mixture of items which are located on the water bed so to say. There is a place near the water where you can go up in a rock lift and then that leads to a button which causes an explosion. On the other side of the water there is a rock with a chaingun on the top, use the container to get to the top so you can collect this gun.

There are plenty of hiding places to explore and find which one you like the best. Boxes you can hide behind and jump out at your opponent and there are plenty of buildings to hide in. One building has fire all over it and if you jump into the building you will notice writing on the wall. This is a map where finding the right spot is vital to whoever wins this match.

(Another review for one of the small maps)

This map is sure to make you feel very dizzy and confused. A lot of weapons in the spinner but don't stay there too long or you will be dizzy. To get to the area above go into one of the elevators where you will find the RPG but if you collect the RPG the ground will start to go down leaving you trapped there forever. To get out of that area you must try to shoot one of the buttons that is near the elevators and if you get lucky the ground will start to rise again. This would make a very interesting deathmatch level, hope you have fun.

(Here's another review)

This sort of acts like a play-around type of map where you battle it out on the big arena as well as the area where the exit is. When you are going to the exit there is a hidden room to the right with atomic health in there. There's also a hidden area located around the top section of the map. Where duke starts off in the single player there is a switch and if you click the switch you release the laser trip bombs but there are a bunch of octabrains floating around the map.

(Hi guys, I have a review for the rcastle map which is not a bad DM map)

You start off in a barn with lots of areas to explore, get to the top of the barn as that will give you a view of things. Knowing your way around the map will give you an advantage over the other players. There are a few different areas with atomic health including the red room area located up high in the buildings which have two atomic health items there. If you follow the water it will lead you to an underground area where you can collect certain items. Also, the level has that maze element to it as there are many dead ends or walls that can be used as a lift.

If you play this in a single-player mode you will encounter a few enemies in the towers and many other areas.

Thanks James and Puritan I will check them out,    sorry I was a while getting back to yourself.

Okay well this is a long shot question and I will try my best to see if I can remember things about this total conversion.

I remember this toal conversion had four episodes, your standard bosses at the end of the episode. like battlelord at end of episode one (etc) Alien queen at end of episode four. From what I remember is I think it was level three from episode one it had a strange level where there are laser trip bombs everywhere. I remember it being a very good level, I don't think it had anu bad guys in it making it sort of unique.

Now another level I remember is from episode three which was a level where the ceiling comes crushing down on you, it was a long corridor and youy get to one side then click button then that button makes ceiling come down I think.

Does anyone remember what conversion this was.

Many thanks in advance.

Here's the map seven.

Here's the review, sorry for the confusion.

   
A very atmospheric map with it having a yellow scenery attached to it. You can play the single player as the single player has a few enemies and if you can find the Protector Drone that can be your mission for the single player but this map is meant big time for dukematch.

A few of the areas in the map is your pistons where duke gets crushed if he goes under also there is a conveyor belt with a few burgers on it. Sounds very delicious but there is one thing I forgot to tell you which are the burgers are made from dog meat. You will be eating doggie burgers. Hope I have not put you off your dinner.  There's a hidden bathroom area as well because you have to blow up a wall to get to the bathroom. The other bathroom in the map is very easy to get to.

As far as the deathmatch goes I think two to four players is ideal. Not too sure if it would work with more as it would get too frantic, if that's the right word to use.

Oh I got confused there, yeah you are right Forge. 

Hi Puritan

No worries,  Looks like you have lots of files to get round to but the worst thing we could do is to rush everything, I think that's when the problems start if we were to rush things.

I think there's already some pictures of the map then again I could be wrong as I was unable to access the seven map section of the website. A very good website with many maps you can play, I posted the old duke repository website which I think is not being updated any more and most of the maps on the duke repository website I think have been played by myself but on this website there's lots of  good looking maps that I've still to play. 

Don't worry about the review just now. 

Hi guys

That's me reviewed another map.
