Some ideas Thread - Duke Nukem 3D - Legacy Edition mod for Duke Nukem 3D

Hi Marcolino,

Congratulations and thanks for you mod witch is very good and pleasant. I have recently tested duke nukem kickass and alien armageddon and your mod witch is my favorite.

Overall I prefer the graphisms/projectiles/gore/violence and sound effects of kickass duke mod. My dream would be to fusion it inside your mod lol.

Juste some questions and suggestions if you allow me :

-the pistol looks more powerfull and so should deserve another sound (the vanilla pistol feel like a toy)

- the chaingun cannon sound (vanilla) should deserve a better one also imo. (vanilla chaingun cannon also feel like a toy)

- your double shotgun is weak at long range, it is intented ? I always use the normal shotgun coz it reload very fast and is accurate at both short and long distance. Not sure what is the best to do here. many possibilities.

- I find some ammo capacity quite low (only 24 for shotgun) . Remember that we don't have bagpack like doom in duke nukem.

Hi there!!

Thanks for the feedback, it's always great to hear!!
The idea behind the mod is to keep the Vanilla aspects of the game and only enhance the poverall gameplay by adding some modern features and prototype elements (from beta/alpha versions of the game) like aliens, weapons and some levels. So, changing the vanilla sounds is out of topic... For now!!

As for the double shotgun, yes, it is intended since it's way more powerful than the other shotgun (which is meant to be weaker but faster and more precise). This will be greatly improved in the next patch which i'm working right now, by decresing even more the ammo capacity for the shotgun (so you are obliged to switch to other weapons more often and be more strategical with them) and increasing the double shotgun damage even more (100% damage with 2 close shots against the Octabrain).

If you have any more suggestions, please, send them!!

hail to the king, baby!!

Hi. You could add some more details to the levels. There are many pictures of unreleased beta versions of Duke Nukem, from the year 1995. You could make some changes to the maps so they do look like more on what are in those pictures, like the "Lameduke" version of Red Light District. I am making modifications of the original maps to look like more those of beta pictures. For example, the first level will be a mixture of E1L1 and E1L2 with added things, to be played using your mod.

Hi!! I'm not messing anytime soon with level design, BUT if you are cool with it, I could insert your maps as part of the next update (custom content). Just PM me if you're okay with it and we can talk about!!

Thanks!!

Would there be a way to play the original (Atomic) versions of the levels in your awesome mod? The edits of the levels are the one drawback for me as, so far, they have removed cool aspects that were in the final ones.

Have you modified Eduke32? I'm trying to make an addon to add textures and non enemy actors to my customized episode, like extra buttons, breakable objects, items and non enemy actors, but it seems there's some changes preventing me from doing that.
