assistant: Greetings All!
I've noticed that a large percentage of the messages in this area consist of
people asking for codes for Duke3D or Terminal Velocity. Correct me if I'm
wrong, but surely a good idea would to be to compile a short FAQ which
contains the codes for a few of the latest games, and post it once every few
weeks, that would make things easier.
Any suggestions!?!?
I must get round to downloading the 1.3d patch for DN3D sometime, and also
download XenoPhage again....

pipebombs it will put you back up to 50, BUT it will not take the box.
All of the pipebombs are still left in it, and as far as I can tell you
can do this countless times. I'm not sure if it does this through the
whole game or not, but I know of at least 2 places. Like in the 1st

assistant: (Edited for brevity)
  Bill,
    This may not be your problem, but try disabling EMM386. Duke runs
    much better without it. In fact, I have found the easiest way to
    run Duke is to make a boot disk that only has IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS,
    COMMAND.COM, & the following for AUTOEXEC.BAT & CONFIG.SYS.
    (Autoexec.bat)
    ECHO OFF
    SET GALAXY=A220 I7 D1 K10 P530 T6
    SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T4
    SET SOUND=C:\STELLAR
    C:\STELLAR\UTILITY\VOLSET /V:10 /X:10 /F:10 /C:14 /L:14 /M:0 /R:M
    SET PATH=C:\DOS;C:\;C:\MOUSE
    SET MSINPUT=C:\MSINPUT
    C:\MSINPUT\KEYBOARD\KBDCPL.EXE /S
    PROMPT $P$G
    C:\MOUSE\MOUSE SER 1
    D:
    CD D:\DUKE3D
    DUKE3D.EXE
    Lines 2,3,4 & 5 above are for my sound card. Just substitute what
    you need for your sound. Lines 7 & 8 are for my keyboard. Once
    again, just substitute your keyboard commands. The last three
    lines change to the drive & directory where Duke is and launch the
    program. The rest is just standard stuff.
    (Config.sys)
    FILES=30
    BUFFERS=35
    STACKS=9,256
    Hope you find this usefull, but if you don't, what the heck. It
    didn't take too long to try!!

assistant: Joe: DN3D registered version is as great as advertised! However,I have
experienced an annoying problem already. It started in Episode 2,
Level 4--when part way into the level,after I entered a door, my frame
rate dropped from 10-17 to 1-3. Starting the level over again, it went
back to the higher rates but dropped again later. So, I "DNSCOTTY" to
the next level and everything was OK until I got to level 7 when the
same thing occurred! Hoping this doesn't keep up throughout the rest of
the game!!!(I haven't run the Episode 1 since the Shareware ver 1.1)
I'm running on a 486DX/66 with 16Meg of RAM and a Trident 9400CXi Video
card. Game setting is normal 320x200. Can't use Univbe51a since it
crashed my system on the shareware version. Any idea why it suddenly
turns sluggish or what to do about it? Thanks,

shows you how to make things.  And the buildhlp.exe is ok help but I think if
you looked at those 2 levels and copy the stuff they have (sectoreffector,
activator, etc) into your own level.  I'm making a pretty cool dukematch
level now.  And I'm adding water, and doors (took me a while to figure them
out), and teleporters to it, but I got all my info from the _SE.MAP level.

   I just installed a new MGA Milleniun video card with 4 meg of windows ram
on it and am having a few problems with Duke3D.  When I go to save a game, it
locks up the system.  Also, when I have completed a level, the screen goes
black and the system seems to lock where I have to reboot.  I am running in
800x600 mode when this happens.  I notice that if I disable Video shadowing
in CMOS, it works better, but still locks when I go to save a game.  Does
anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to fix these problems?  I tried
getting 5.2
of Univbe, but it is only for windows now.  ANY HELP would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
BTW:  I installed the version 2.0 of the Millenium bios, so that doesn't fix
the problem.

assistant: Why is it that no matter what I do Duke's voice and gun shot sounds always
cut-off when entering the second part of Hollywood Holocaust?
I just had my machine returned from the computer shop where I bought it and
paid $40 to have it re-configured and to check the sound problems. The sound
setup in Duke 3D matches my Win95 and AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS settings
yet *EVERY GAME* the sound cuts off after finishing the first part of
Hollywood Holocaust.
Is this because it's unregistered so that people playing it will get
irritated enough and go out and buy the registered version because it sure
is working.
All settings are correct. Why can't Duke3D just automatically detect your
sound settings or look at your AUTOEXEC/CONFIG files for your sound settings
and use those?
Something's wrong here with the game and it ain't my setup.
