nelguy Posted February 27, 2020 I was wondering if there is any fan-made version of Duke it Out for GZDoom, and if there isn't, How could I do it by myself? I'm pretty sure it doesn't work on something like SLADE. 0 Share this post Link to post
NightFright Posted February 27, 2020 Well, Slade can open groupfiles, so it's a start. There's probably also a Duke to Doom map converter floating around somewhere. Then there's still the .art tiles to be converted. Good thing about DukeDC is that it didn't have any big custom code like Vacation, so that makes things easier. I don't think anyone has done this already, though. There is a Vacation conversion for Doom with the first 2-3 levels, though. 2 Share this post Link to post

VanaheimRanger Posted February 27, 2020 Man, a proper Duke conversion in GZDoom would be awesome. I never played Duke it Out I'm Doom because it required a specific sourceport I am not familiar with, but if someone converted it to GZD that would be awesome. 0 Share this post Link to post
NightFright Posted February 27, 2020 Well, if it's done for Edge, maybe it can be converted for GZDoom. I never tried doing such a thing, so I can't tell how hard it is. But apparently all Duke3D assets are converted to Doom, so a certain part of the work has been done. 1 Share this post Link to post

Build games on the Doom engine will always be a bit underwhelming due to the lack of movable sectors. 4 Share this post Link to post

I have it set up to play on Eduke32, but am considering setting up Raze since it will play Blood as well. But I just think it would be interesting to try it on GZDoom as well. 0 Share this post Link to post
NoahRules Posted February 27, 2020 Is there any reason why its Edge exclusive? 0 Share this post Link to post

Dexiaz Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Not the same mod, but working very fine with GZDoom. UPD: LoL, it's kinda reworked for Android GZDoom (it works on PC too), but I do remember that I saw the "normal" version somewhere. 0 Share this post Link to post
Redneckerz Posted February 27, 2020 48 minutes ago, DoodGuy said: No other reason than making the engine not redundant Or maybe because the author preferred EDGE for its feature set? EDGE is a significantly different source port by design and does quite a few things differently than the common ports. As is usual with all things different, it isn't that popular, but the advantage of it is that the good stuff for it is quite manageable to find. In this case, Duke It Out In Doom is done by @CeeJay - One of the most experienced EDGE authors. Way to be needlessly smug and bitter about a proper piece of work just because it does not run on your port of choice. :/ 0 Share this post Link to post
NightFright Posted February 27, 2020 Well, no conversion will be able to do the original full justice. Besides, DukeDC isn't even the best of the commercial Duke3D addons. It's fine to play it in EDuke32/Rednukem/Raze, that's where it belongs. No need to convert everything. 0 Share this post Link to post
NightFright Posted February 28, 2020 I wouldn't have fun playing that, I'm afraid. It just looks horrible with this bad texturing. Like one of those cheap shovelware releases back in the days. 1 Share this post Link to post
