I made a new version of randuke tonight... Updated a lot of things... First thing I did was condense the map generator into one version. There are no longer separate versions for Duke3d 1.4 and Duke3d 20th anniversary world tour. Now there is a mode feature that will select the mode the user wants to use, 1.4 or 20th. It's all a big hack but it works... I also added two new features to the map generator...
A) Stairs
B) Sidewalks in some city areas
The new version can be downloaded Here:
Running it is a bit tricky.. It's a dos program.
A) Extract the zip file above to a new folder : C:\randuke
B) set the mode by doing this:
Go to a dos prompt and type:
1) cd C:\randuke
2) Mode <mode you want to use>
Mode can be a number from 1 to 3. 1 Corresponds to Duke3d 1.4, 2 Corresponds to Duke3d 20th Anniversary World Tour without the new enemies or weapons being used. 3 Corresponds to 20th anniversary with those new enemies and weapons used.
Exit the dos prompt.
C) If you are running a windows Vista or higher system you will need dosbox. Install it and run it and type the following in
1) Mount C: C:\randuke then Hit Enter
2) Hit CTRL+F12 till the cpu cycles becomes 50,000 or more
3) Type randuke and hit enter
D) If you are running a windows XP system or lower just run a normal dos prompt and type
1) cd C:\randuke then Hit Enter
2) Randuke then Hit Enter
E) Randuke will ask you how many rooms to put in the level. Put in no higher than 8 for this.
Then it will ask you how many additional structures to put in. Set this to a low value like 3. The rest of the values should be 1. Be patient as it makes the level because this can take some time.
F) Go to a dos prompt and type
1) cd C:\randuke
2) copymaps <name of level> (omit the .map extension - it is put in automatically for you)
This will copy the newest level to your duke3d folder. If running duke3d 1.4 you will need eduke32 and can load the level with user map feature. If running 20th anniversary load a new game and hit ~ and type in map <same map name you typed in in copy maps>
This is the last randuke version I will do. I know it isn't ideal but the work on this has been very frustrating. Editing prefab maps often makes maps crash with errors. It sucks so I really can't do anything more with this...
