Duke Nukem 3d..

[taubstumm]

I was pondering why there is no Duke 3d Port yet
Source can be found Here:

Or use Google..

I think that would be possible

I disagree, for 1 reason, the amount of buttons needed. Duke Nukem you need to be able to crouch, jump, and fly to get around certain places, as well as swim. There are not enough buttons to be able to do all of these actions as well as just strifing, and running, not to mention how you would do the items like holo duke and all those.

mabey with the new keyboard it will be posible

 

[tomjack264]

what about multi buttons like on msx emulaor shoulder + a directional button
i should work afterall gba has the same botons and its on that

 

[sassdouille]

correct me if i'm wrong, but the problem is called "floating point", the gp32 doesn't have a fpu, so float numbers are very hard to use. and they're used a lot in duke3d, that's what i heard

 

[Tobriand]

Nah... DK3D has been respelled for another system (Dreamcast?) in fixed point, but no-one's managed to get it to compile as yet for GP32. It could prolly be done, but it's a big project...

 

[true karma]

Duke nukem 3D has much more source code then doom or rise of the triad, there was no version for the dreamcast, and I think it does use floating point maths.

Oh really? I guess this is just a figment of my imagination than.

 

[GurtyGurt]

I heard that the source is extremely messy or full of hacks to make it look more 3D than it is (ie sectors on sectors)...if that's true, it'd be hell to optimize it I guess.

Button functions are no problem, I once thought up a layout that would be perfect. Also, since the Dreamcasts CPU is pathetic at floating point, I would say that, since it runs decent, a port could be made to the GP32.

hehe, and what kind of game then i played some month ago on my dreamcast.. thought it would be Duke Nukem 3D... ok then it was Duke Nukem Forever

 

[taubstumm]

K now i know why there isnt a port yet

 

[Swiss_Cheeseman]

copy paste lah lah lah

Controls are no problem:

Control Stick: Move left/right/forware/back
Control Stick + Select: Look up, down, move inventory left right.
L/R+Select: Weapon change
L/R: Strafe Left/Right
A: Shoot
B: Jump
Select: Activate
Select+A: Use Item
Select+B: Spare
L+R: Duck
Select+Start: Automap

Ding! Everything is taken care of!

 

[Azure]

Yeah, those are good controls.

 

[GP32 Kirby]

Like I said in another post (just as Swiss repeated his own), controls should be easy to overcome, all that's required is a suitable and managable button combo system.. it's been done before with DOOM and DOOM II successfully

Actually there is a port, it was made using SDL and runs fine and dandy on the Dreamcast. Anyone who says otherwise is simply ignorant.
