Write your reply.

assistant: The BIGORBIT texture is hard coded inside the game to kill Duke
instantly.  The reason for this is that if Duke is out in space, then he
should explode.
    To get around this, give the "backdrop" a palette that doesn't alter
the colors.  Do this by hitting 'p' while pointing to the texture, then
type in a palette index.  There are about 22 of them, most which change
the colors of a specific tile.
    There _were_ a few bugs with multiplayer recording, that was one of
them.
    Glad you like the game; I still do. :)

        Just spent 120 mins on the modem getting duke3d after my 4th part
stuffed. Installed it. Had a CRC error on 96% of fourth disk, but DN3DS.EXE
(the self extracting archive) works perfectly, moving me towards beleiving
that the CRC didn't actually exist. I tried running duke after setting it up
and get a flash of the message "BUFFER TOO BIG TO FIT IN CACHE". Does anyone
know how I can fix this ? Thanx. My Config Sys has only
Buffers=30
Stacks=9,256 (Just quoting off the top of me head. It may be wrong)
Files=40
Dos=Umb
And My AutoExec.Bat is equally empty with nothing except path setting
statements. I fanyone has any idea whats up here can you get back to me ???

          Subject: Duke3D
Well, Jeff, you may have heard this already, but talk is cheap.  Some of the
suggestions are interesting, I'll grant you, but remember what the game is:
        1)      Evil aliens take over
        2)      Duke hates evil aliens
        3)      Duke kills them all
        4)      HE DOESN'T SNEAK AROUND!
Gotta speak frankly to you man - as a fellow programmer.  I know it's
empting
to shove 50 ideas in front of Todd and Joe and say "OOH, LOOK!"  But, if you
can't back up most of it with code (which you can't), you simply end up
iving
the development teams a dull headache.
Just for background info, I'm a Project Leader working on a game that you'll
probably see soon in a store or on a BBS.  I've had friends I didn't even
now
screaming 50 completely whacked out ideas to me without even knowing what our
game engine supports!
The guys at 3D Realms have a nice thing going!  Don't frustrate them any more
than good old coding already does.  (But, hey, that's what coding's all
about!)

Reminds me of the game "Blackstone" (don't know if it's Apogee or not),
but there are areas where you see prisoners chained to the wall. You
talk to them, they tell you what's happening, and then you can shoot
