============================================ WORLD TOUR PATCH FOR DUKE3D ATOMIC EDITION By Hendricks266 & NightFright ============================================ Version: 0.42 / November 03, 2016 ================================================================================================ A B O U T ================================================================================================ This patch allows you to play "Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour" with EDuke32 and duke3d.grp/duke.rts from the Atomic Edition. You will end up with a standalone version of the game which will run without requiring the Steam installation of "World Tour". Currently supported: -------------------- > All of the World Tour CONs, including the new enemy, boss and minibosses. > 8-bit parallax skies. > 32-bit skyboxes. > Original VOC files. > Lee Jackson's new renders of the original music. > Polymer lighting added by the original mappers. > Normal maps for the original art. (For the time being, normal maps only work with r_pr_artmapping 0, for the same reason texture filtering is incompatible with the artmapping feature.) > Widescreen weapons and status bar. > New Duke voice acting. Use "setvar voice " in the console to configure. 0 - 2016 voice 1 - 1996 voice except during Episode 5 2 - 1996 voice except new lines only > Developer commentary. Use "setvar commentary " in the console to configure. 0 - off 1 - on 2 - show but don't allow playback > New touchplate settings: pal 2 is co-op only, and pal 3 is Dukematch-only. This is in addition to pal 1 being single-player only. Some Alien World Order maps cannot be completed in EDuke32 without this code to take care of this. > The new cstat bits used by World Tour to "ignore lighting and SSAO effects" (cstator 18432) are scrubbed so EDuke32 doesn't interpret them using its meanings. Currently missing/not working: ------------------------------ > The Incinerator is not implemented. > Multiplayer (blue palswapped) Incinerator pickups are not deleted in single player. > The Firefly and BOSS5 don't have any of the new projectiles. > Some breakable objects remain unimplemented. > Armor box addition to the classic mini-hud remains to be added. > Episode 5 ending is still missing. ================================================================================================ R E Q U I R E M E N T S ================================================================================================ > Windows Vista or newer (to be able to use robocopy command). [If you have an older Windows version, you can get Robocopy here: https://www.windows-commandline.com/download-robocopy] > Existing Steam installation of "Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour" > Existing folder with EDuke32 binaries (optional) and duke3d.grp/duke.rts from Atomic Edition or World Tour ================================================================================================ I N S T A L L A T I O N ================================================================================================ 1) Extract the contents of this zipfile (eduke32_wtatomic042.zip) into your EDuke32 installation folder. Overwrite existing versions of eduke32.exe, provided they are *NOT* newer than Oct 31, 2016. 2) If you want a full standalone copy with all WT assets (780 MB): Run wtatomic_full.bat If you want a lite version with the new episode only (175 MB): Run wtatomic_lite.bat 3) Specify your Steam and EDuke32 directories when prompted and confirm with "Enter" after both inputs. 4) 32-bit users: Run eduke32.exe 64-bit users: Run eduke32_x64.exe 5) In the EDuke32 launcher, select "worldtour" in the "Custom game content directory" dropdown selection. 6) Launch with "Start" button. ================================================================================================ N O T E S ================================================================================================ 1) You have two options to create a playable standalone copy of World Tour: a) With wtatomic_full.bat, you get: - All maps, including the updated ones from ep.1-4 - Full Duke3D soundtrack remaster by Lee Jackson (for all maps) - Re-recorded Duketalk + Duketalk for new episodes - Developer commentaries for all maps (including ep.1-4) - All skyboxes and normal maps b) With wtatomic_lite.bat, you get: - Maps from episode 5 only - Duke3D soundtrack remaster by Lee Jackson (ep.5 only) - Duketalk for ep.5 only - Developer commentaries for ep.5 only - All skyboxes and normal maps 2) In case "World Tour" receives an update and you wish to implement these changes, it is recommended to run the script again to create a new "worldtour.zip" data file. (You would need to have "World Tour" installed still/again for this purpose.) 3) If a new stopgap release is available, simply copy all the .def/.con files into your "worldtour" directory, overwriting existing ones. 4) If you run into trouble running this addon, check your EDuke32 "autoload" dir for any "duke3d.def" or "eduke32.con" files. Remove such files if necessary or simply deactivate "autoload" folder usage in the EDuke32 launcher. 5) If you are using duke3d.grp that came with "World Tour", there is an option to revert to the original first aid graphics of Duke Nukem 3D (i.e. red crosses instead of pills shown on medkits and some textures): a) Open worldtour\duke3d.def in your EDuke32 dir with a text editor. b) Find the line "include sprites/oldhealth.def" and remove the comment signs ("//"). c) Save the file. ================================================================================================ C R E D I T S ================================================================================================ DUKE NUKEM 3D: 20TH ANNIVERSARY WORLD TOUR (C) 2016 by Gearbox Software, LLC / Nerve Software ORIGINAL DUKE NUKEM 3D ARTWORK (C) 1996 by 3D Realms EDUKE32 COMPATIBILITY STOPGAP CREATED BY Hendricks266 7-ZIP COMPRESSION TOOL (7ZA.EXE) BY Igor Pavlov ...................................... http://www.7-zip.org BATCH SCRIPTS/PACK COMPILATION NightFright ...................................... nightfright2k7[at]gmail.com http://hrp.duke4.net ================================================================================================ L I N K S ================================================================================================ - EDuke32 port for Duke Nukem 3D ................. http://www.eduke32.com - Latest EDuke32 snapshots ....................... http://dukeworld.duke4.net/eduke32 - Duke4.net Forums ............................... http://forums.duke4.net ================================================================================================ C H A N G E L O G ================================================================================================ v0.42 / 2016-11-03 ------------------ > EDuke32 binaries updated to r5925 (2016-10-31) > e32wt.con: Updated to reflect changes from WT patch v2016-11-02 v0.41 / 2016-10-20 ------------------ > Improved script header with more info about full/lite versions; minor changes in text outputs > Restored e32wt.con file name, created new eduke.con (for easier stopgap updating) v0.4 / 2016-10-18 ----------------- > Initial release > Compared to Hendricks266's initial release of the stopgap, following changes were applied: - 32/64-bit snapshots of EDuke32 r5899 included - Added file "duke3d.def" and folder "sprites" with option to restore red cross graphics (when using the "World Tour" version of duke3d.grp) - Added two missing normalmap defs to "e32wt_normalmaps.def" (4228_n.tga and 4229_n.tga)
