Duke3d in Linux
Obiwan Kenobi writes "So it took four days, but Duke3d now runs in Linux, courtesy of Icculus.org. Ironically, a win32 port has yet to be released. Features include full sound support, hi-res video modes (aka VESA modes for those familiar with DOS), saved games, full screen or windowed viewing, and even the BUILD editor works (to a degree). No mouse, demos, or networking just yet, but the basic gameplay is there and now that the BUILD engine has been ported a win32 version is soon on the horizon."
Time to kick ass and chew bubble gum!
Posting useless rant since 2003.
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS:
Tough luck. Do NOT contact us with bug reports at this time. Do NOT contact us if you can't get it to build. Do NOT contact us for copies of the game.
Don't you love the support you get with Linux software?
Right, now lets start getting this ported to every system on earth. Duke3d for Dreamcast, PalmOS, and JavaVM everyone!
* Networking/modem/multiplayer at all.
Actually, I understand that they got networking operational, but they have turned it off for now until they can put in support for the new "evil bit" standard...
They're going to use it to identify the people that changed the source code to cheat...
Just because I doubt myself does not mean I find your position compelling.
hehehehe double reference jokes are funny.
Ignore the "p2p is theft" trolls, they're just uninformed
Ironically, a win32 port has yet to be released.
They're probably too busy playing games released this decade.
General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Browser Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Duke of Nukem. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my isp connection has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring Duke to Linux has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the code into the memory systems of this x86 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this boxen safely delivered to the free people running free software. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, ObiWan Kenobi, you're my only hope.
Duke was fun as hell, anyone else remember "Cases' Ladder" an early online gaming rank ladder? and Kali?? LOL I feel old!
And please.....resist the burning urge to insert some obligatory "Tux" or "Linus" hidden room or some shit in it! Please!
Sehr geehrter Toilettenbenutzer!
3. An original Duke Nukem CD to get the configuration files and game data...
Anybody have a working binary they can put up for download?
Not that it's illegal or anything. While I'm at it, here's some child porn, all of my SNES ROM's, and some manilla folder with "CLASSIFIED" stamped on it.

We were all warned a long time ago that MS products sucked, remember the Magic 8 Ball said, "Outlook not so good"
...right?

I think it's because, like Heinlen said, "we laugh because it hurts...". Cheers. :)
Just because I doubt myself does not mean I find your position compelling.
I wonder about some of the original duke3d bugs too. Nothing worse than just about fragging somebody in deathmatch only to get munched by a closing door...
Hmm, I always considered that a feature.
Ballmer: Palladium is now the ultimate power in the cyberuniverse. I suggest we use it.
Stallman: Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed, Mr. Gates. The ability to dominate the planet is insignificant, next to the power of Open Source.
Ballmer: Don't try to frighten us with your Hippy ways, Lord Stallman. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion hasn't given you the power to conjure up the stolen code, nor helped us find the rebels hidden serv- *urk* *gaak*
Stallman: I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Gates: Enough of this! Stallman, release his server!
Stallman:As you wish. *virtual thud*
Gates: This bickering is pointless. Lord Stallman will provide us with the IP of the rebels hidden server by time Palladium is operational. We will then crush the rebellion with one swift lawsuit.
It's old. The more humans I meet, the more I like my cats. At least they are honest.
