Linguica Posted April 1, 2003 This apparently isn't a joke, as 3D Realms has announced on their webpage that they have finally released the source code, GPLed, to that other 2.5-D FPS that we all love and/or hate. Obviously this isn't Doom news but do you see so many other pressing stories that this is wasting your time?! You can head over to the 3DR webpage to download it, I assume someone will be making a ZDuke or a Dukesday or a Duke Legacy before long. BTW way to go 3DR, it only took you five years longer than id! Woo! 0 Share this post Link to post

Jonathan Posted April 1, 2003 Kinda late, but at least they released it under the GPL. Unlike some companies we could mention eh? 0 Share this post Link to post

The Ultimate DooMer Posted April 1, 2003 Ultraviolet said:The Duke what? The community - you know, a bunch of diehard fans all over the world that still play and make maps etc. for a game. In this case, Duke. (yes, there are still maps being made for it - the excellent Roch series for example) Anyway, now the source has been released, hopefully we'll get a windows port of Duke that will let me play it with sound. (hooray!) /me awaits the release of ZDuke 2.0 (oh wait, Duke already has most of those features...) 0 Share this post Link to post

sponge Posted April 2, 2003 Bastards. All this waiting, and it ends up using quite a bit of inline ASM, making the possibility of a PocketPC port quite distant. 0 Share this post Link to post
locust Posted April 2, 2003 Doom used lots of ASM, also. You just need to refactor it out, not a particularly difficult task :P 0 Share this post Link to post

Not the Duke 3d Engine, the BUILD engine, and Blood and Shadow Warrior are heavily modified, heh, so, to rebuild Blood or Shadow Warrior from Duke 3d's source would be nigh-impossible :-P 0 Share this post Link to post

toxicfluff Posted April 2, 2003 Yeah, I noticed that too... Sounds very intriguing. It amazes me that someone who spells seeps "seaps" can code so well :) But, I want BLOOD. That's the best build game there was. 0 Share this post Link to post
