xATGAME.CON -gplugandpray.zip -gDUKE3D.GRPĬlick ok on the main box and you are all set to play Duke 3D with a working HD mod Pack! All the games original menus, multiplayer, and options should be working just as they did before we started this. If for some reason the above options dont work with your OS or system setup try this one now click on the "game launch options" and input the following line, you can copy and paste this if you like Open steam and navigate to your Duke 3D game in your library. Your duke3d/gameroot folder should contain these files for the HD mod to work Now the original exe from the steam version is restored and in place but we still aren't quite finished yet. Now delete the duke3d.exec that was overwritten during the mods installation and replace it with the original one from your backup folder. Go to your Duke 3D base folder and then open the bin folder. Remember that backup folder I said we would need later, well here's where that comes in. Don't get excited yet and launch the game we still have more work to do. Now that everything is installed we can mod the mod so to speak and make it work with the original game, lol. It should be the only mod the installer has listed, just select it and be patient, depending on your system it may take awhile to unpack and install. One for every expansion and then the base game.Īfter you have followed all the prompts of the install go back into the setup.bat and select option 3 to install modpacks, this will install the steam version modpack needed to work with the steam version of the game and not Eduke32. The Eduke32 launcher should pop up after every part of the mod has been installed. Once thats open you can close it and continue installing the steam pack back from the dos prompt. Follow all the prompts til it opens eduke32. Once opened be sure to selct the option number 1 to install the Steam version. With all the propper files in place open your Duke 3D base folder and run the setup.bat file that should now be in there. Once thats all in the folder and finshed drag and drop the second set of files you downloaded (Steam Duke High Def Modpack) into the Duke base folder as well Installing them may delete the files when it is done and if you need to reinstall you will need the backup or need to redownload the packs.Įxtract the contents of the zip file you downloaded first (Duke Nukem 3D High Def Pack) into the base folder for the game (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Duke Nukem 3D) let it overwrite any files needed I suggest also making a backup of the downloads you just downloaded just in case you need them again. Now for the tricky part, installing this so that it works with steams version of the game and won't require a second mod loading window or side loader to play.īe sure to follow EVERY SINGLE STEP IN ORDER here or you may find your game not working and will have to start this all over. Once all this is downloaded we are ready to unzip and install the mod Now that we have that downloaded lets get the HD steam pack **Message me on steam personally if you have any issues and I am happy to help and I will be coming out with updates that add more like duke plus and such when I have time.** Get the files there as steam keeps removing the links from my guide for some reason. The mirror now points the wiki which is using my original download links from this guide. This is confirmed as working using Chrome.) I advise using winrar but really any zip management program of choice should do the trick.įirst download the Main mod pack installing files (NOTE: If the links won't load by clicking on them, copy the page address and paste it into your address bar. You will need Winrar or some other zip program to unpack the contents of the downloads. Now that everything is backed up we are all set to download the HD mod Pack and the mod installation zip. To keep up to date on my progress here (and all other gaming projects I do) like the facebook page and sub the reddit I am working on finding ways to make it more compatible than it is currently, but life, wife, and kids come first so my time is limited and progress will be slow on this front. This is normal and nothing went wrong with your mod installation. Since all side load options are being worked around, some parts of the game (mainly the dlc areas of the game) may not have the graphics changed to HD, or appear to be changed at all. I will try to be as simple as possible with the steps to make this guide easy to follow, understand, and install without problems. This simply changes the in game graphics. The menus, game modes, steam overlay, and achievements, etc will function the same as they normally do with the base game. It will not alter the way you already launch and play the game. This guide will show you how to install the Steam HD mod pack without the need for eduke32 or any other seperate mod menu or side load option.
