Bank Posted December 4, 2005 I likes it very much, I will be looking foreward to this one! 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted December 4, 2005 Are the graphics for this all new stuff, or will there be a bit of recycling from the Duke Nukem TC (and subsequent Stand-alone game)? It's just that I've seen those Duke sprites many, many times. 0 Share this post Link to post
SyntherAugustus Posted December 4, 2005 IIRC those are from NAM, a build engine game. 0 Share this post Link to post
wildweasel Posted December 4, 2005 NAM (otherwise known as NAPALM) could be considered something of an officially licensed, standalone Duke TC. If you look in the GRP files, you will find a lot of Duke3D's resources (including Duke talk stuff, a few sprites and textures, etc). Also, if you copy the GRP and CON files, you can also run it in JFDuke3D flawlessly. 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted December 4, 2005 It was a TC before it was a stand alone game. I'd downloaded it as a TC called "Platoon" IIRC. It was by tnt team (again IIRC) - not our own Team TNT BTW. I think they now do "Unreal" stuff as "Reactor4". Anyway, quite some time later, a friend of mine bought a game called "Nam" and we were disappointed to find that it was basically the same as the TC I'd DL'd a year or more earlier. :/ There was also "WWII GI" which often gets mentioned with Nam/Platoon but I don't actually know if they are related in any way. 0 Share this post Link to post
wildweasel Posted December 4, 2005 WW2GI is actually a better game overall - it has all new content, high res sprites and such, and fewer actual Duke resources - but it can still be run through JFDuke3D. 0 Share this post Link to post
Liberation Posted December 5, 2005 The Marines and the nva sprites are from Nam, and wont be replaced same with the weapons and scenery, the gfx (explosions, fire and smoke) will be replaced with 32bit ones (which i have already). The whole reason i started this project back in 1999 was that i couldnt find a copy of Nam anywhere in Britian, so i decided to make my own, a year or 2 later i found were i could buy them (ww2gi aswell) so i did, i was abit disapointed with NAM but such is life, WW2gi was a different game completly more refined and next to none of the familar duke 3d resources, not bad at all.. I didnt now about JFDuke 3d, sounds cool. 0 Share this post Link to post

Interesting. Is it available anywhere (legally of course). I haven't been able to find anything other than background info on it. 0 Share this post Link to post

TheDarkArchon Posted December 15, 2005 Liberation said:- Call up airstrikes when you want to from radio's I'm intrested into how the radios work. Will they be mapped objects that can be used a la the platoon TC or will the radio be weapon item or will it be something else? 0 Share this post Link to post
Liberation Posted December 15, 2005 Done by rts scripts, you just go over to the radioman and using the menu system you select the coodinates, then artillary shells spawn.. 0 Share this post Link to post
Liberation Posted December 18, 2005 Im in the middle of rts scripting the first few missions so i can release a demo, so thats good news but i still need some voice actors, I need about 10 people i think... 0 Share this post Link to post
