2022-12-23 - Season's Greetings! | ![]() |
Another year has passed, and hopefully we can now say for sure we are done with that horrible pandemic.
Since it's that time of year, I felt like giving, so I have issued a big update for the Addon Compilation 4.0
prototype (WIP for a while now), bringing smaller or bigger changes to 22 addons.
Special mention: Thanks a lot to Reaper_Man and ck3D for their valuable input regarding those code fixes for "The Gate"! Before it's forgotten: Widescreen Fixes for Duke3D v1.5 is available since a while as well, getting rid of image stretching and taking care of some Nuclear Winter screens (recently added in prior v1.4x updates). There's also some other great news not directly related to the Duke! The Force Engine v1.0 has been released which brilliantly supports Dark Forces and all the community addons which have been created in the last 2+ decades. Have you ever been wondering what DF could be like with proper highres and widescreen support plus a fully functional save feature? This is your chance to find out! For this occasion, be sure to also check out the Dark Forces Community Patch which makes the original game more user-friendly by addressing various annoyances and fixing some old bugs along the way. Just drop that zipfile into your TFE "Mods" folder and select it via ingame menu before you start playing. Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year! |

2022-11-14 - Manual scans | ![]() |
It's been a while! Not much going on these days, but at least some good news for those of you who always
wanted to get their hands on digital copies of the Duke3D addon manuals. PDF versions are available, at long last!

2021-07-19 - Enhanced Resource Pack | ![]() |
The Enhanced Resource Pack (or ERP) has been released on July 1. It's a collection of several community projects that have accumulated throughout the
years (those upscales are rather new, though), meant to significantly boost your Duke3D gameplay experience on a visual and acustic level. You might see it as a spiritual successor of the HRP, if you want.

2021-05-19 - Eyes Widescreen Shut | ![]() |
The Fixes for Duke3D mod has received a lot of love with all relevant menu tiles (e.g. 3DR intro logo, title screen, ingame help menu, ep.1/2 ending screens etc.) having received
an 8-bit widescreen treatment, making it look a LOT better on modern systems without losing that retro vibe one can only get when sticking to the original artwork instead of using highres
replacements.

2021-04-09 - Time to get e-RAZE-d! | ![]() |
Graf Zahl's Raze port has been released in its first official (non-beta) version 1.0, allowing you to play almost all
Build games (Duke3D Atomic+WT, Shadow Warrior, Blood, Redneck Rampage and others, pretty much everything except for Ion Fury) with the same executable. In order to celebrate the occasion, I have created a small tutorial in the ZDoom forum with info about how to get everything working.

2020-10-20 - Addon Compilation v4.0 testing phase has begun! | ![]() |
The next version of the Addon Compilation is finally making real progress! You can now participate in testing any
addon from the upcoming version 4.0 you want, regardless whether it's one of the new entries or an "old" one (many addons received considerable updates, anyway). In total there are now 135 addons with almost 1.500 levels. |

2020-10-06 - New Addon Compilation? Yes... but hold your horses. | ![]() |
A new Addon Compilation release after almost four years? Wow! However, before you freak out: This is NOT what you
might think or expect. I realized that most of the compilation entries would not appear in the EDuke32 launcher
when using this with the World Tour groupfile, so I supplied a separate batch file (addons_wt.bat) for that purpose.
This new version won't gain you anything if you are using the Atomic Edition - there are no new or updated addons
in this version whatsoever. There is also no need to download the entire pack again for just a few kilobytes, so I have made a
small patch over at the Duke4.net forums
which saves you a lot of time and bandwidth if you have version 3.13 installed already.

2020-07-10 - Hanging in there | ![]() |
In this difficult time of disaster, disease and suffering, it is important for you to remember two things: 1) We are still alive and
2) We are still working on something (even if it does not look like it all the time).
