Homebrew COMPLETED Duke Nukem 3D

[notimp]

Looked into enabling cheats via a savegame, used an old version of eduke on Windows (XP in a VM) to do so, which might have caused some problems.

- savegames shared from the PC version to the switch build currently do not load/show up, when put into the same directory as the nro.

- As soon as savegame support is available through, we should be able to use cheats, because they stay active when saving/loading games in eduke (enabling it in a pc version transfering the savegame over to the switch). Which means, that keyboard support isn't that necessary.

damn it, now I need to buy a switch lol

@cpasjuste: Loading timidity.cfg is from sdl2_mixer. It should just try to read it from the working directory.
As midi music might be used by other homebrew/ports too, we might want to adapt the paths there. Have not tried this, but using setenv should work, too.
They host a set of freely redistributable soundbank patches: https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/timidity/timidity.tar.gz, also freepats can be used: https://freepats.zenvoid.org/freepats-20060219.tar.xz

Yes, was looking at this, seems this is a good direction. I also noticed that we could/should be able to use ogg/flac from psx/saturn but didn't succeed yet (on Linux). I'll take a closer look as soon as possible (may be a few days..).
Thanks

There is a console command that defines which cheats are shown in the cheats menu by default.

cl_cheatmask // configure what cheats show in the cheats menu - min: 0, max: ~0, default: 0
http://wiki.eduke32.com/wiki/Console_commands

If this is possible to be "enabled" for some/all cheats (and you could turn on/off cheats in menu (which is implied), this would be a better way to enable cheats.

Why enable cheats? Precision aiming and keeping the right movement speed is hard on a Switch controller.. Or whatever excuse you wan't to use in exchange..

lol i tried is it because i used the atomic version?

 

[notimp]

Don't start support request with lol. Consider that the answer to your question might not be available. And put your switch into Airplane mode over the following days, if you don't want to risk your ability to impress your youtube audience.

Also - I personally dislike youtubers that try to represent themselves as "tha shizzles" publicly, trying to impress god knows who for no reason, and then come flocking to the actual communities, where people did the work they are using, asking for help.

I dont know, but this whole aspect of trying to make money with another persons creation on youtube, doesnt feel right. Especially if the person making the thing doesnt get mentioned, doesn't make any money themselves, and gets represented, by someone that tries to act indifferent when being interrupted while trying to impress their internet audience - by a crash screen.

Also - in regard to your question: I don't know.

Did you test both the "normal" version and the atomic version?

I didn't.

(The video shows assets that might use the Polymer renderer (the objects look very 3D and higher res than usual), which those of the normal version arent. eduke32 supports both render modes, but the switch version doesnt let you choose between them, so I'm surprised, that you managed to get it running that way. It could be the atomic version, it could not be - I don't know.)

Your sister? Mr. I want my career path to include "acting out fake excitement, and non existant knowledge to my unsuspecting youtube audience of minors".

Reason for this kind of response.

You didn't use the version of the game you should have used. And you know it.
Once the version you used didn't work, you didn't try it with the version you should have used.
Instead, you decided it would be lovely to ask other people, if they could use a version they shouldn't use - so you would have to do no research on your part.

Make a video about it. It sounds like an exciting piece of content for your audience.

Also you didn't use google:

Because of course not - you are a youtuber.

(So yes, this version will trigger eduke to use the "updated graphics", which might be the cause of your crashes, but its really up to you to find out.)

they mislabeled the file (was listed duke3d...no mention atomic) i know humanity gets worse look man it's still a valid q either way n all i tried to do was help. Get a life.

 

[notimp]

Under "Frequently asked Questions" for eduke32, there also are md5 hashes for the files you are supposed to copy over from the Atomic edition, you could have compared yours to by now:
http://wiki.eduke32.com/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions

But instead you opted to not test this prior to your first video recording, then blaming this on the "scene being very young".

Also, you're laughter was full of disappointment over having to end your youtube video with a crash. But of course the professional youtuber you are, you quickly found someone else to blame - for offering completely unprepared "event experiences" to teenagers on youtube.

Its like improv theatre with slightly more fake emotions towards your audience.

Does the HRP work?

 

[cpasjuste]

Probably because the switch and/or duke nukem doesn't like you :/

I think @notimp is maybe a little harsh on this, but he is true about your video, which is, well, a little strange. I did play maybe 50% of the game without any problem, so it's like.. Humm.. A strange video. I can't really explain with my own words in English, but I find it special

i mean notimp is right and all. See here is what happened. I followed your instructions to download and "copy "DUKE3D.GRP" and "DUKE.RTS" to "/switch/eduke32" folder". Thing is the duke3d.grp and rts files were from a website that lableled them as the duke nukem 3d version and not the duke nukem 3d atomic version. It wasn't until watching my own video that I realized. He is apparently sensitive to such things and noticed right away and well ahem chastised me in all sorts of ways unrelated to the topic.

but he did answer my q albeit in a trolling fashion.

Which is basically what is wrong with gbatemp in a nutshell. Lot of talented people posting. Lot of talented people lurking. Lot of talented jerks posting way too much and going off topic (still talented tho lol ). There is no policing. No mods. It's apparently the wild wild west of forums. Which saddens me. I imagine so many more young people and novices would frequent the site and get so much more accomplished if there were actual mods who simply did temp bans and put people like that in their place occasionally (notimp does a great deal of good work for the scene to merit a perma ban it's just he has grown into a monster sadly...)

I think the funniest aspect is he insulted my sister. Which if he saw me (I may pull up btw homie) I imagine he would pee his pants and go look Sean I had no idea and I am sorry...

Insults to family members should just never happen. Ever. In a forum such as this. I mean if you got here you are somewhat intelligent it's just you may disagree with someone here and there. Get over it. Even people you don't like will have something you might learn from.

So what we have here I feel is this. As you say and I intend to test more tonight on my channel (you know the one I make all this money on according to notimp) and confirm. But apparently perhaps the atomic version or other versions could potentially work too? I mean am I right if that google page he linked is correct how did I even get it to boot right? Basically a happy accident actually that he just kinda went full retard on. notimp never go full retard...neva...

 

[notimp]

You give me too much credit. The atomic version is supported by eduke32 (which I also didn't realize until the mid point of the argument) - so it not working in this port is actually useful information.

What I took offense to was the threefold approach of "lol - watch my video, anyone else has this problem" (not even spelling out your issue, until you've got the clicks) mixed with no effort to discern where the problem might come from (it looks to be version related), asking others if they had done it for you, and then toping it off, by declaring that this clearly is a sign of the scene being "so new", while trying to play down your disappointment that your youtube video didn't turn out as you had intended for your viewers, as you recorded this clearly the first time you tried out the game. (Good luck on the hardest difficulty with no auto aim assist.)

Its more "form" than "substance" here, so I have to apologize for hopping on the "its clearly the wrong version" bandwagon too soon.

But while you literally did no work - not in trying to research the issue, not in trying out the game before you recorded your "I've got something cool for you guys" video, not in trying to document the issue in a non "lol - watch my video", kind of way - your expectation was -- that others might be willing to do so for you. And your youtube audience.

So notimp I read you make many assumption but many are false. As I state in video I was just trying to help cpas since he could not make vid and others too asked for vid...

I make youtube videos mainly to document my life and to help others. I actually help many many people weekly. You should check out all the helpful switch videos I have made before judging me. As for ps4 it is frankly a movement and many people enjoy my videos and converse not just with me but with each other. It's actually quite beautiful (average users are 25-35 btw i can see all that and show you) and I would do it for free. It's what the internet can be and it is not what you are making of it.

of course i recorded it the first try. In hindsight if you were wrong (and jesus christ i mean that was like a politician cause I guess you reasoned i better come clean and tackle it head on what is this house of cards bejeezus) why on earth did i deserve that reaction. Don't i get an apology or something i mean sheesh...the point of my videos is showing others with no edits (and sometimes dirty fingernails lol) what I went through exactly. IT IS WHOLE POINT OF MY EFFING STYLE!!

and the whole literally no work thing is bollocks it's insane really. All I did was try to make a video showing others the engine running which i did. What was I supposed to do? If you watch the video with sound on I am very thankful to cpas and recognize his huge efforts and if what you say is true than my conclusion is right. It's not blaming him! It's just saying hey this just got released...based on usual cpas he will just fix this and make it even better. Why are you constantly steering into negative? It's pretty insane.

ran tests with two other versions of just duke nuke em 3d and while one did seem more stable it still crashed for me. Do I need to update pegaswitch/homebrew launcher? Not sure what to tell you. Seems like switch can be very picky about software. Perhaps hash number is needed to compare.

You should really remove the serial of your switch from the error screen.

I guess i'll be the first to mention, but controls doesn't work in tv mode. Both joycons working as separate controllers.
