assistant: Msg quoted: Bill King to Edwin Van Gessel about DUKE3D HELP!;
Hi Bill,
Disable EMM386 too. Make a bootdisk with both SmartDrive and EMM386
disabled. You make a bootdisk with the command: FORMAT A: /S
Do you run DN3D in SVGA? If yes, load this driver on your bootdisk. If no,
disable your SVGA driver too, because you don't need it with 320 x 200.
That's interesting. It may have nothing to do with your memory.
I think we found our problem. IRQ 5 for your soundcard is good, but IRQ 5
for your modem isn't. First of all, IRQ 5 had been assigned to your
soundcard already, and shouldn't be used twice. Second, COM 3 had a standard
IRQ number of 4 (and COM2+4 IRQ 3), so here's what you have to do:
put your modem on COM3, IRQ 4. Your soundcard should continue to work as
it does now. Do you have the modem inside or outside your PC?
Grtx & good luck!

Write your reply.

assistant: First, I've been fooling with build for about a week now and have a
retty
cool level going on. One problem that I am having is when I set BIGORBIT or
MOONBASE textures to parallax, you die when you walk under them regardless of
ceiling height. The LA sky works fine when set to parallax however. Anybody
know what's going on here?
    Second, there is a 'bug' (I think) when recording a multi-player demo.
When my buddy and I record a multi-player demo ,it, of course, writes over
he
original demo1.dmo file. Well, if I go to start a single-player game later
nd
the multi-player demo is still named demo1.dmo, then the game runs without
ny
monsters. Is anybody else aware of this? I there a fix being prepared?*
    Lastly, I want to commend Apogee on Duke3D. You guys have finally been
he
ones to rock the unmoveable DOOM! I hated to admit it at first 'cause I'm a
die-hard DOOMer, but when I fired up the reg.  version of Duke and started
jammin' on my Duke mouse pad....well I was hooked.  The BUILD editor is
awesome too...high learning curve but well worth the time to learn.

Hi Brian,
thanks for your message, I really didn't realize that this board isn't a
german one. But anyway, your German is not such bad as you mentioned. Ok,
I have to read it twice until I got the meaning right. The reason for this
is mainly because you were using uncommon words, i.e. "Tagung" is not used
in this context. In German Fido the areas are called "Brett" or "Bretter"
like these wooden things to build houses.
Where are you learning German?
I had to re=post this because I couldn't reply direct through netmail.
Anyway, thanks for relieving me...my German isn't that accomodating... I have
been taking it in through a local program for three years now, I love the
language and hope to visit some years later when I become absolutely fluent.
About your Duke3D Registered version... Does the Shrinker weapon act like it
did when you 'cheated' the shareware version into using one, i.e. is there a
projectile that is green, and a sound of some kind? Also, about the map
editor, just how much does it allow you to edit? Can you make new textures on
walls, and re-do the enemies? Hope you enjoy your copy, soon I'll have
rdered
mine!
