Wow, awesome stuff. Need a .grp file though, anyone know where to get it?

Wow, awesome stuff. Need a .grp file though, anyone know where to get it?

I found one here
http://www.3drealms.com/downloads.html

I actually have a disk with the shareware on it and the full version as well. I haven't been able to get this to work with the sharewares, but I haven't tried it with the full version yet. It just keeps saying "Too many errors. 0 Warnings and 13 Errors"

I'm using a Supercard Lite and have patched it with the DLDI. I'm hoping it's just something I'm doing wrong, because I'd love to have this on my DS.

[XDelusion]

Oh wow! Just add the ability to Fire via Left Trigger, Jump via virtual button at bottom of touch screen, and I'll be able to play it via touch screen.

In the mean time, the present control scheme seems kinda..

...GBA ish.

[kidcodea]

worked fine.

all it misses is sound and a mouse ;)

[TeenDev]

oh hell yeah!

know wat'd be awesome.... QuakeNukem3D!!!

[Junixx]

Sweet I'll try this later..

[King DS]

Duke Nukem 3D is my All time FAV Game EVER!! i used to make loads of Maps for it aswell using Build... so you can guess my joy as i find this!! BUT!!

it dont work with R4...





i cant use it...


Oh how this makes me cry inside... :-(

[Mr_Biggs]

sweet! Duke Nukem in my pocket! i was surprised to see this used atomic edition. my only complaint on implemented features is the d-pad turning. seems to go in large degree increments. and the touch screen aiming should have the crosshair follow the stylus point. but, this is amazing. thanks GPF!

[voteforpedro36]

OMG... plus I actually got the .gpr file! I can actually play it!

[Conscript]

Has anyone found a way to go back in the menus. Once i enter the options, i cant get out :/

[rigor]

The game screen should be on the top screen of the DS, and their should be the ability to swith weapons on the touch screen. The controls should be customizable as well.

I tried it without the DLDI patch and it worked. Great stuff.

[XDelusion]

Yes I would definatly at the ability to config your own controls as well as weapon select and item select and activation from the touch screen, not to mention Use.

[Spankster]

Works with my Supercard CF (no patching) and the GRP file from the Duke3D demo. Shame about the choppiness and lack of sound, though. Still, kudos for getting it to work, period. Might want to include better usage instructions, though, as it took me a while to figure out what I needed and where to place it.

[stevo1986]

could some one uplode duke3ds.rar again when i try to d/l it i only get 212 k/bs instead of the 516 the file is thnx in advance

[racingfreak92]

I cant find a .gpr file for this game can someone give me a link

[squiggy69]

Can someone please post better instructions on how to get this game running? Im new at this and ive been trying to get this to work with no luck..... i have all the files downloaded along with the .grp file needed.

[GPF]

The game screen should be on the top screen of the DS, and their should be the ability to swith weapons on the touch screen. The controls should be customizable as well.

during my beta testing period people kept asking for it to be on bottom screen ;( lol , have to figure a way to select that i guess.

tapping the touchscreen changes weapons to the next available one right now. but its kind of annoying if your using the touchscreen to move around.

The controls are kind of customizable if you edit the duke3d.cfg file, but you have to make sure that you replace the existing keys with other existing keys for the different functions.

read the readme.ds file included with the release.

I was at a gamer friends house last night and I happened to show them the Duke Nukem port, he liked it so much that he's now buying a flashcard. GPF and me should be getting commision :P

[Fujiryu]

Use Dlditool.exe with the r4tf.dldi to patch the NDS file to make it work with RF/M3 DS Simply carts.

[rigor]

Thanks for replying GPF.

But look at Metroid Prime Hunters, the controls are very good with the stylus. And I think that if the game is on the touch screen and you wants to look around with the stylus, your hand can obstruct the view of the game.

But anyway, good work.

[FunkyFisch]

Some one send me the grp file via email...Please!
EmaiL:[email protected]

[Arun70]

Duke Nukem! That used to be my favorite game on PC!
Nice to have it back!

[xenoid]

you need to put the .con and .GRP files in the root of the card, in folder labeled DUKE3D.

this is what I had to do on my R4DS card.

[cdreams]

Can someone save everyone the hassle and upload a .grp file.

For some reason I am unable to install the game on my laptop, just saves it won't work regardless what I do. I think Vista has something that is preventing me from installing it.

So I think it would be much better if someone with a working version could upload all the files so it is just copy and paste, or at least the .GRP file.

Would be greatly appreciated I am sure. Cheers

[souLLy]

the grp file is copyrighted material, anyone who did so would be breaking the law and the rules of the forum.

Problems with the controls but this is top notch stuff.

I finally got it working with my ds-x last night, still get the nasty errors, but i commented out the abort and exit code and then it works. I have got sfx working partially now and a few speed ups. Still get an occasion cache exception and random freezes. But hopefully will have a new release soon.

[shadax]

I'm using an R4 Revolution with a Kingston Micro SD 1 GB. I have DLDI patched the duke3dS.nds file with DLDIrc patcher and the r4tf.dldi patch.

I placed the duke3ds.nds file along with DEFS.con, duke3d.cfg, GAME.con, USER.con, and the official, full version DUKE3D.grp all in this directory:

E:\Games\duke3d

where E is the letter my reader assigns the MicroSD adapter.

If it makes any difference I'm using kernal 1.08 beta or whatever the latest is on the R4 site.

This is the error I'm getting:


Can't open directory: /duke3d
Unable to open /duke3d/DUKE3d.GR
P

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/1567/dukeerrorxm0.jpg

Anyone have the same issue or perhaps a solution?

Thank you very much for any help!


Edit: Solution

Ok, I realized the error is stating it's looking in the root directory for /duke3d and that's not where I have it, so I placed the directory to the root (E:\duke3d\ instead of E:\Games\duke3d) and now it runs fine.

Awesome stuff GPF!! Thank you! I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting the next version!

Edit to avoid double post, but please read !! :)

If I can make my own suggestions, I think it duke3ds should definitely follow traditional FPS's on the ds if it's possible. Using the touch screen to look is a LOT better considering it's sensitive in that you can control how fast or slow you want to look around. Having the D pad makes it very GBA-ish. In saying that, the gameplay should definitely be on the top screen (isn't the top screens processor faster anyway?)

Another really fun thing to have would be an on screen keyboard just to have a little bit more flexibility than just the limitations of the DS's buttons. Weapon selects and inventory can be chosen with the top line of numbers and I think it's brackets for the items, we can also type in cheats etc. Also, with controlling with the touch screen, the d-pads directions can each be separate functions (open, jump, shoot, use item) and maybe the exact same functions on the other side of the ds (where up down left right and L = x, b, y, a and R respectively) for left handed stylus users.

Also, I'm not sure if there was anyway to toggle the options. I wasn't able to return to the main screen after doing so. The onscreen keyboard would also be extremely handy in this situation. I was going to try and disable sound (even though it's already absent) and lower the graphic quality etc to see if it would change performance.

Again, all this is in consideration of having gameplay on the top screen.

This is probably way too much, but again, it's just suggestions that given possible would make this homebrew from awesome to near perfect.

I think I speak for all of us that these would be really cool changes...and I hope I don't sound ungrateful or naive towards what it takes to put this together.

Otherwise.... it's excellent and thank you again GPF!!

[Mr_Biggs]

mods, ban or warn this retard. the discussion of warez and the trade of copyrighted files is not allowed on this site, even if you use it as a method to trade via email. if you want to play duke nukem 3D on your DS, go to ebay and buy the damn game, or find a demo version. otherwise, log off and do not post anything about GRP files until you have one in your posession.

piracy gets not only you into trouble, but this site and wraggy as well.

[Buddy4point0]

this is nice, im getting it now. wow i love my new cart

[Yata^Duck]

Got it working (R4) But no sound and the controls arent how i would like to have them.

Is there any way to change the controls and any ideas on how to get sound?

Thanks. Yata.

[crookedmouth]

All the answers are in the release notes Yata. No sound yet but a past post mentions he's working on sound and has made some progress. I think the controls are as is for now, but I'm not 100% sure.

[j.smolka]

This one disturbs my nice directory structure....! :(

Isn't it possible to configure it to be placed somewhere in a deep structure instead of the root position?

If it is not configurable yet, would you please consider it for future versions!?

:thumbup:

[GPF]

Yeah next version will have all the files in a /duke3d folder :)

[theblueeyedninja]

keep up the good work. I'll wait for the sound version. Cant wait!

[j.smolka]

Yeah next version will have all the files in a /duke3d folder :)

:mad: lol :o

[XioN980]

GPF is a pastor of muppets

[jasicher]

yeah really awesome work gpf, thx a lot for your efforts and keep up that good work :thumbup: love to play duke3d in my old days ;)

As mentioned before the controlls are not so handy at the moment, its a little bit like playin fifa with a steering wheel :D no, thats not true, just a joke :p
And yes the top screen would be a better choice and the touchscreen would give so many possibilities for extra controls.....

anyway, cool stuff :)

[Mr. Greed]

i love this, only this is that u can't point the gun up T.T and has weird controls

[Wii60_FTW]

Get's to the second or third logo screen with ur URL and background pic screen then:

"unable to initialize media device"

m3 simply

[Llamatron]

Same here... I have all the files that i am supposed to have ".grp, etc." , I'm afraid i might be patching wrong?? i have no clue. I have a M3 Simply as well...
Can someone just post a download setup specifically for M3 Simply please? :D

[Wii60_FTW]

Oh, I got mine working a few days ago.

I think all I had to do was patch it with the R4 file thingimajig doodad doohickey.

I might have been patching it with the wrong M3 file. The R4 works since the M3 simply and R4 are the exact same cards in a different box. So try that one.

If that doesn't work, I'll help u.

[F2bnp]

incredible!But there is one problem...
THE FPS!
I can't play it with so low fps.Hope it will be fixed

[Hyrule_boy]

Neat work! although it could use some improvements. The thing that mostly bugs me are the controls! It just doesn't play right. I get killed by simple enemies because of it. And ofcourse the FPS is low and no sound. But if those get fixed it would be awesome! And I highly recommand you to modify the controls like the one's from MPH! But that's just me talking... xD Anyway keep it up! I'm looking forward to the next release. :)

[XDelusion]

UP the FPS, correct sound, fix the controls, I.E.

Add Virtual Buttons to the bottom left and right of the touch screen, One to select items the other weapons.

Of course items will need separate buttons below the item icon, so you can select items, then press the item icon to activate or something to that effect. Weapons will just cycle through as normal.

Left Trigger Fire

Double tap touch screen to jump.

Then select can be used for kick or something.

That would be Duke 3D Heaven for me, until then...

...nice work, but I'll pass.

[GPF]

yeah still slowing working on it, I have alot of the sfx working now, but some just make noise and haven't figured out why yet.

For control i still have to do figure out why it won't do mouselook for the touchscreen, other then that the configuration file can be changed to make the controls work better for your choice.

Not sure if I have made it much faster yet, but from my vague recollection of duke3d running on my old p75 to me it doesn't seem that bad lol

He will do his best to make it play at a decent FPS but it's hard and it takes allot time. So we've to be patient!

[jklod]

if anybody gets it to work i wanted to know if u can save and load it succesfully because i got everything for my ds emulator and i got the game-pokemon diamond-and i cant load my savegame when i try it says rom image has crashed. right now i am using no$gba2.4 as an emulator but i am about to try out some other ones. if anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated. also for no$gba does any1 no how to make it full screen?:D

-Peeve the Prodigy:cool:

[DanTheManMS]

That question is:
1. completely unrelated to anything in this thread
2. not allowed for discussion by the DCemu rules.

The one question I can answer: I do not believe you can make No$GBA go fullscreen.

[jklod]

sry about going against the rules but i jus cant save and i want to know why but if its against the rules then i understand.sry.

Thanks in advance,
Shejken

I have the EZ5 micro SD that loads via the DS slot 1 and I get the same '0 warnings and 13 errors' message. I have already used Chisms dldi patch (I have patched other homebrew and have zero problems with running them) What can I do? Thnx in advance!!

BTY: I have all files in the necessary place on my micro SD.

[fraze]

However, when i click on the game it starts fine, telling be to 'press any button!', so i do this and again it tells me to press any button but when i do... the neo flash picture thing at the bottom of the sceen turns strange... as if i am running windows on safe mode style. It says at the top

Help will be appricated.. VERY much...

[wassah_2200]

I got this to work with my games n' music card :D

I'm glad i still have this game on my computer...

Is there any way to get sound, or speed up the turning?

[blakey87_1]

Can anyone tell me if this runs well?

[Hyrule_boy]

Can anyone tell me if this runs well?
The controlls suck
There's no music
There's no sound
The FPS is not that great

But it's a good start! because it's really ****ing hard to port a PC game. I rate the version that you can download at the moment a 6/10 because it works. It just needs allot work.

[AMDX1325]

very very nice

[himo12000]

for duke 3d.nds to work you need to do what it tells you in the readme file

[malik2007]

Great answer.

Not.

[iggytheroach]

alright so things are running good if not slow... i tweaked the controls a little using the cfg file which seemed simple enough... problem became when i tried to switch the left and right keys on my d pad to be my straife keys.... any suggestions on what i might have changed wrong?

[vapour99]

Is this dead???

I agree with that other guy, as the fact that there is no sound is really a bummer.. almost more irritating than the genesis emu's for the ds not having any sound. I wanted "come get some" and got nothing.

also there is the matter of controls and frame rate. controls like quake ds would be mnuch appreciated. frame rates could be improved by using the RAM exp and lowering texture resolutions. I know the controld for duke 3d sucked, but srill dont give up this awnsome project! look at the diggs it's getting and the people waiting!

this neoflash compo version isn't really recent is it. I have a feeling that my oleas will go unheard....

[superduffman]

Hi all & GPF.
Can you tell me how far you got with networking?
I’m doing A MSc in networking and need an end of year project.
How would you feel if I did the networking for you on this?

[Sonny_Jim]

SuperDuffMan I think you'll find that this project is dead in the water. I think GPF did it as a kind of "I wonder if this will run" exercise. I'll pester him about it next time I speak to him.

EDIT:


frame rates could be improved by using the RAM exp and lowering texture resolutions.


Having more RAM does NOT MAKE A SYSTEM FASTER IF IT'S NOT USING A SWAP FILE. The DS cannot use swap due to it's lack of MMU. Lowering the textures would improve the framerate though.

Isn't there a mediafire link?

[Prep5242]

Hate to necro, but I really want to get this working. After I got QuakeDS working on my R4i gold 3ds plus card, I wanted some of this action, but I can't seem to get it working. I put the .grp file in the duke3d folder, but when i try running the .nds I get this: "Can't open directory: /duke3d
Unable to open /duke3d/DUKE3D.GRP"
Is there something I might be missing here?

[Prep5242]

Got it working! Had the file organization wrong. This port is awesome, wish the controls were a bit more optimized. QuakeDS has me spoiled, its control scheme is perfect.

[Prep5242]

On the off chance that anyone will ever see this... Trying to save freezes the game up. It lets me name a save file but once I press enter (start) it freezes and doesn't save. Was the save functionality supposed to work?
