Essential improvements
Patches
All patches for the retail version can be found here. Digital distribution versions are already patched.
EDuke32 source port
EDuke32 is a modern source port and map editor for Windows, OS X and Linux. It features many improvements including higher resolutions, widescreen/multi-monitor support, and optional support for high resolution textures and models.
High Resolution Pack
The High Resolution Pack for EDuke32 adds high resolution textures and 3D models (in place of the 2D sprites used by the original game).
YANG multiplayer
YANG is an easy to use program for hosting multiplayer matches using EDuke32 or another source port.
bMouse
- bMouse will cause the vertical aiming to be inverted. To fix this just go to the Setup Advanced Control Options from Control Setup, then at Advanced Mouse Setup change the Mouse Y Scale to negative number.
bMouse is a DOS extension which improves mouse looking by removing the mouse filter which causes issues related to both axis not updating properly.
Mods
- Duke Nukem 3D mods lists some of the most popular mods.
Duke Nukem Forever 2013 Mod for Eduke32 transports the basic ideas and areas from Forever (and its 2001 preview) into the original Duke Nukem 3D.
Play without the CD
- The Atomic Edition checks for files on the CD.[5]
