Duke3D Source Released

heh

We might get some real competition from the Duke community...

NAAAAA!

Very nice...

And there was much rejoicing, yaaaaaaayyy

Kinda late, but at least they released it under the GPL. Unlike some companies we could mention eh?

Very late but still cool

"BTW way to go 3DR, it only took you five years longer than id! Woo!"

nothing new there :)

Yay! Soon i'll be able to do dukeskins for multiplayer....as if.

Bleh! That's the most april-fool thing you're gonna get out of me.

The Duke what?

Duke Legacy? Isn't That the same thing as Doom Legacy?

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...)

OMG Duke4ever for Atari 2600. Now I know why I never threw it away!

That's basically all I'm asking for.

This is great news!

Not much of a community. Give me one good Duke site. NOT PlanetDuke, that place is a disgrace. Anyway they should of gave out the source long ago.

thats hilarious...took them long enough shit anywho i hope they do make a port for duke or somthin that would be awesome... or a launcher with various ports like kingdoom but kingduke or someshit ... for witchhaven and blood and so many other titles that use the duke3d engine .. lol ..

ThisStrife.com. Sure the community there's largely based around the comic on that site, but there's still a few projects roaming around (glBUILD, The Night The Forums Went Crazy, BobSPx, and my own LABRAT mod.)

Now feel stupid. I used to go there all the time and read that comic.
Don't they also do work on DukeGL? Now that I realize it I have people on my AIM buddy list from there. Those silly Ken Sliverman Worshippers. :p

The world ends today... 'bout damn time too.

All I want is open sourced Dark Forces

Bastards. All this waiting, and it ends up using quite a bit of inline ASM, making the possibility of a PocketPC port quite distant.

Doom used lots of ASM, also.

You just need to refactor it out, not a particularly difficult task :P

The build engine isn't open sourced. Heh. Just the Duke-specific stuff.

Ken Silverman's base BUILD engine code (With sample game)

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

They gave up on DukeGL a while back and decided to port BUILD to OpenGL first, to do the majirity of engine work easily.

Found this in game.c, quoting here:

After a brief resbit, Duke decides to get back to work.

Cmdr: "Duke, we've got a lot of scared people down there.
Some reports even claim that people are already
slowly changing into aliens."
Duke: "No problem, my speciality is in croud control."
Cmdr: "Croud control, my ass! Remember that incident
during the war? You created nuthin' but death and
destruction."
Duke: "Not destruction, justice."
Cmdr: "I'll take no responsibility for your actions. Your on
your own! Behave your self, damnit! You got that,
soldger?"
Duke: "I've always been on my own... Face it, it's ass kickin' time,
SIR!"
Cmdr: "Get outta here...!"
(Duke gives the Cmdr a hard stair, then cocks his weapon and
walks out of the room)
Cmdr: In a wisper: "Good luck, my friend."

(Cut to a scene where aliens are injecting genetic material
into an unconcious subject)

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.

Look for the "Release the BLOOD source!" petition on planetblood.com

Sorry. Not only that petition died two years ago, but also PlanetBlood.

Heh, cool, I guess. Though it would've been better if the Duk3D source had been released years ago.
