Nuclear Meltdown TC for Duke3d is being worked on... First Slaughtermap TC for the game ever!

Well, while working on an update last night for my youtube channel, I decided that I would end up making a TC for Duke3d based on maps my Map Generator for Duke3d (Randuke) produces. I had already made one years ago but it came out bad. So I decided to redo it with new maps.... I posted a TC trailer on youtube 15 minutes ago, for this TC, which is entitled "Nuclear Meltdown".

Nuclear meltdown is a Duke3d/Shadow Warrior/Blood TC for eduke32.  It uses maps made by randuke, and has 11 new maps. The 1st  4 are lameduke/duke3d themed, the next 4 are shadow warrior themed, and the last 3 are blood themed.  There are no secret levels in it. It's just normal linear progression from map to map.

In the story of the tc, Lo Wang, Caleb and Duke get together in a bar in some city. Aliens, Ninjas and Cultists attack and bomb the bar to eliminate  the threat of all three heroes being together. One survives the others die. You get to choose the one that survives to fight the united horde of Duke3d Aliens, Blood Cultists and Ninjas from Shadow Warrior.

Nuclear Meltdown is the first Addon for Duke3d that contains more than 1 level and has slaughtermap gameplay. Slaughtermaps for duke3d do exist but they are very rare. This is the first levelset to embrace Hell Revealed type enemy placement for duke3d...



Here are some screenshots:

Nuclear meltdown will be released next month. I am releasing the map generator and mod now but the levelset will have to wait. I have to test it. It does have 11 maps and I don't know if they are beatable yet... More info on that will be posted here on updates and on my channel...


Here is the release Trailer:

My Random Map Generator for Duke3d, Randuke has been updated to version 1.8

Well. I've been working on my duke3d map generator, Randuke. Randuke as detailed in the last post (which did well here BTW!) is a map generator designed for the Duke3d mod Duke++. Duke++ is a mod I made which is based on duke plus and adds the ability to play as Lo Wang and Caleb plus new enemies (from lameduke, shadow warrior and blood) and new weapon and item sprites for all player classes... It also adds textures and decorations from lameduke, shadow warrior and blood. The mod was designed to be a mod that would be the base for a duke3d/shadow warrior/blood crossover tc for duke3d that was never finished...

The map generator has gone through one major change since the last version was released... It now can generate levels with different themes, the themes being duke3d, shadow warrior and blood.  It does this by having 3 different sets of prefabs, one for each theme. I just took the prefabs I made and retextured them to make these sets. I think they came out good. I especially like the shadow warrior theme...

The map generator works by gluing prefabs together randomly. There are 20 prefabs per theme. Several indoor and outdoor ones. The outdoor ones are better looking than the indoor ones I think but the indoor ones aren't that bad looking in itself. But don't expect super detail in these, I am not nearly that good of a mapper in build, and build was hard as hell to learn for me so I only did decent detail...

But one thing you can expect in version 1.8 is hordes of enemies. You see I really like Slaughtermaps for Doom 2 so I decided to make Randuke not just a random map generator but a Random Slaughrermap Generator. I decided to increase the enemy count in outdoor areas till the enemy count in them was around 100 per outdoor area. I was inspired by the duke3d maps Argh!shopping and Duke's Nightmare to do this, they are both insane slaughter maps for duke3d and I liked them a lot. So from now on this map generator will design insane hordes of enemies into maps with outdoor prefabs randomly selected!

Here are some screenshots of the maps that were generated tonight by the map generator... Notice the blood and shadow warrior themed maps that are in it now...

E) Hit Ctrl+F12 till the cpu speed become 50000
F) type randuke.exe and hit enter...
G) It will ask you to fill in details... The first one should be 8 the next one should be 0 and the next 3 should be 1... Hit enter and then be patient as it builds your level.
H) To run the map, run dukeplus.bat in C:\duke3d and then find load a usermap, go to the randuke folder and run fin-1.map
I) To play as lo wang or caleb type dukeplus.bat sw or dukeplus.bat bld instead of just dukeplus.bat


EDIT : Major bug fix here... There was a possibility of the map being unplayable in blood and shadow warrior themes. It has been fixed!
