Homebrew [WIP] Duke Nukem 3D

[Tyrant82]

I've got the addon's working by placing both duke3d.grp and the addon .grp e.g. nwinter.grp inside the /3DS/eDuke3d* folder.
*using the .3dsx version

Edit the eduke32.cfg file, and look for:

SelectedGRP = "duke3d.grp"

Change it to the addon .grp

e.g.:
dukedc.grp
nwinter.grp
vacation.grp


All seem to work fine.

The main menu of the 'Life's a beach' addon still displays 'Atomic Edition', but in-game all sprites and sounds are loaded correctly and the game runs fine.


This way only one addon can be loaded at a time so i created multiple folders:

/3DS/Duke3D
/3DS/DukeDC
/3DS/DukeNW
/3DS/DukeVC

Each including the duke3d.grp and their respective addon.grp and a modified .smdh.


The duke3d.grp included in the download does NOT work with addons!

It is an early shareware version, use a v1.5 version of the the game.
I've used the Megaton Edition duke3d.grp [v1.5]

Could you share the smdh files please?

Does this support 3D? And can we map mouse to touch pad, similarly to metroid prime hunters?

Doesn't support 3d, touchscreen does function like a mouse

 

[Lyuksus]

Just writing this to know about new stuff

 

[MasterFeizz]

Here's whats planned for the next update(s):
New touchscreen overlay ( enhance gameplay on O3DS )
Support for launching mods and addons
Music playback
And general bug fixes

These do not show when using 'The Homebrew Launcher' from smealum. It seems HBL reads the info from the .3dsx file.

I'm using mashers GridLauncher which does show the .smdh info

Here's a sneak peek of the new touch overlay.

It's still too clean, I need to dirty it up a little

Nice, glad to see us o3ds peeps aren't left behind

The truth is that the 2ds feels better on my hand than my N3DS XL, lol.

A little offtopic:



I'll test it with my O3DS 9.2 and see how the framerate is.

EDIT: It runs well on my system, it drops some frames inside the movie theater, but a great port, even being in a very early stage.

Could it be possible to replace the d-pad for the analog stick for movement?

thats so dam old

Here's the almost finished overlay design:

I still need to tweak the colors on the border though.
Any suggestions?

 

[jeremiz]

Make the yellow lines less flashy maybe ? More like yellow-orangy ?
Could the 3d effect be implemented and the distortion too ?

I was thinking about making it less flashy, but I'm gonna wait til I see it on the 3DS since the colors will be a little different. As for the 3D effect, I don't know if the calculations on the software renderer are good enough for it to work.

I personally think it looks rad as hell. I do agree with making the yellow lines a bit less flashy, but other than that, it looks awesome, man!

 

[Arseface_TM]

I think the yellow border needs to look like it's been exploded on a few times. Making it look like a layer of soot, blood and rust is on it would be both more fitting and less flashy.

@elhobbs might have some free time one day and could possibly work with you to implement 3D effect? *fingers crossed* Not to suggest you can't do it alone but we all only have so much free time.

Anyways, the touch screen overlay your working on is awesome and this is a great project you have contributed; you seem to have implemented the best Duke Nukem experience on hand held I have ever seen.

as @MasterFeizz indicated - it is whether or not the software rendered can handle rendering two frames for the 3d effect without killing the frame rate. the actual code changes are likely rather trivial.

Thanks @elhobbs. and @MasterFeizz Is it difficult to implement hardware rendering?

It is certainly more effort than the changes needed to get an existing software renderer working -as that tends to be platform independent for the most part. The existing OpenGL ports are not very mature and citro3d is non standard - so either way there is a lot of new code that needs to be created.
