Duke3D Speedrun

[kineox]

Hi speedrunners

It is the beginning of a Duke Nukem 3D Done Quick project. All contributions are welcome. You can find the first demos on http://kineox.free.fr/duke3d/

Of course the complete run will be released on SDA with captured videos.

Remember ! It's time to kick ass and chew bubble-gum...  

[Dybdal]

Sounds good =) don't think i will do any of the levels though but, good idea anyway =)

More old shooters like Wolf3D, blood, blood II, HEXEN and so on submited to SDA would be cool =)

[Stubgaard]

You can get kickass speeds in Hexen, but the weapons aren't that speedrunning friendly.

I might submit something for Duke3D once I've set up my old PC with Win98  

[Bladegash]

I want to see a Duke Nukem Forever speed run. >_>

[kineox]

Two things to say :

I get 0:13 in the first level ! Yeah !

Duke3D runs on Windows XP with JonoF's port.

Thanks for your interest.

Now if I can find the CD of the game...

[Radix]

Has anyone ever found a solution for recording DOS games under windows?  There's a an old game that goes by 'Radix' I'd love to do a run of.  :devil:

[Morfans]

If you do a speedrun of a game called "Radix" people might start calling you "The Lord Of Radix" and that would just be silly...

[Timinator]

hmmm win XP port .. .   :shoot: :headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger: :headbanger: :rocker:

You know, if you had a laptop with an S-Video out, you can play the game on it and send the video/audio feed to your capture card and thereby solving the problem . Resurrect the Lord of Radix

Two ways to play back demos. Either add them to the demo queue by renaming the files to DEMO#.DMO, where # starts from 1 and increases up to 9.

Or you can also use the /D command option :
DUKE3D /Ddemofile.DMO (make sure there's no space between the /D and the demo filename, otherwise it won't be recognised)

I've done exactly as stated above, but nothing seems to happen.

1. When are the demos supposed to play when I add them to the demo queue?

2. And I assume the /D command needs to be run from a DOS promt or from a shortcut, or am I missing something obvious?

Could you please provide me with more information? I really dig the idea of Duke3D being speedrun!

[Stubgaard]

Oh, and another thing, it pisses me off you can't look up and down with the mouse in Duke, or is there a workaround to this problem?

[kineox]

1. Demos are supposed to be played after the introduction (duke nukem 3d screen with a duke artwork)

2. Yes, from the command prompt or with a shorcut. It doesn't work ?

You can also look up and down by enabling 'mouse aiming' in games options, or pressing U key by default.

Enjoy Duke 3D speedrun

[Stubgaard]

It still doesn't work...  

Come to think of it, could it be that I have the wrong version of Duke3D? It's a copy I've had almost since it came out. If it indeed proves to be the wrong version, could I ask one of you guys to provide me with an url where I can download the right one?

[kineox]

I use the 1.3d version with JonoF's port...

You can download Duke3D (in english) and others old games (french or english) on a french abandonware site : http://www.abandonware-france.org/
