NEWMAP3D put together by Matt Lubbers E-mail: godofall@infinet.com *NOTE keep all these files in the same directory as duke3d.grp What should you have: the zip should have included; newmap3d.dat, kextract.exe, newnet3d.bat newslf3d.bat, newmap3d.txt, file_id.diz What it is: It is really very simple. All it is is a group file like duke3d.grp only it has all new maps and some new art. ;-) when you run the batch files; newnet3d.bat for multiplayer games and newslf3d.bat for lone games, it extracts those files into your duke3d directory. Doing this makes duke3d.exe use these .map files instead of the ones in you duke3d.grp. The batch file then runs duke3d with a different .con file that puts in the names of the boards where the old names were. After the game runs, the batch then automatically deletes the files that it made to save you hard drive space long term. If it screws up: Then most likely I am already on it because i use this on a regular basis on my home network, but , still please leave me E-MAil at godofall@infinet.com. ThE BiggEst ProBlEm: Is that unfortunately in duke3d if you use an outside .grp file it must have everything in it; all sounds, all art, all music, etc. I hope to find a way around it so you can have a single .grp file that doesnt have to have every file extracted to use it. I'm still working on it. If you have any Ideas please E-mail me.
